Saturday, June 20, at the Pennsylvania Veterans Museum (PVM), located at 12 East State Street, Media, PA 19063.
Mr. Norman Bussel, a World War II Veteran and former Prisoner of War, will visit PVM from Noon – 2:00 PM on Saturday to discuss and sign his memoir "Liberated Body, Captive Mind: A World War II POW’s Journey," which chronicles not only his year in a German prison camp, but the decades following with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other struggles. He speaks on PTSD also with a view to support troops returning from Iraq.

Our focus is to tell the stories of America’s conflicts through the eyes of those who served in them. We seek to tell the untold stories of our history, and to preserve the past so future generations can continue to learn from it.
We believe the experiences and first-hand accounts of our veterans are vital to educating and engaging today’s youth about America’s past and present conflicts. This is why we are creating a series of educational films and lesson plans, and making them available free of charge to schools and JROTC programs across the country.
We are gratified that we have captured the voices of many veterans from earlier conflicts who are no longer with us. We are also proud to have told such unheralded stories as the role women have played in conflicts throughout our history, the humanitarian efforts of our troops in Vietnam, and the heroic struggle of the Tuskegee airmen on and off the battlefield.
