I really like Kacper's idea of having a running thread with a historical dates theme. Because the Polish people were the first to suffer both in WWI & WWII i feel he should select the title entry. Also as I understand it our hobby originated in Poland. Seems fitting to me.

Because we are all most familiar with our own nationality's history we can inform others much better than a history book. I am sure that Don B will jump in as needed for even more detail.

I really look forward to learning from all of you about your country's history with a personal slant. We need to start the United States of Earth right here.

All in agreement say "Aye" (in your own language). Those opposed can take a flying leap. How is that for democracy in action?

So no pressure Kacper. We anxiously awaiting your entry.
