Hi all,
We've just published "WWII veteran, kamikaze survivor honors shipmates
through Wikipedia articles" to the blog:
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/09/04/wwii-veteran-wikipedia/
Proposed social media messages follow:
*Facebook/Google+:*
- "On deck, there was an inferno of fire and explosions ... Some of us
made our way through the debris to the fantail and took turns going over
the side into the waters of Ormac Bay; I lost my loosely tied shoes." *<--
love the last part; isn't it strange what details you remember about
traumatic experiences?*
- "On deck, there was an inferno of fire and explosions; the ship’s
superstructure had been reduced to rubble, and the forward magazine was
exploding."
- At 18, he survived a Japanese kamikaze strike. At 90, he writes for
Wikipedia.
- Three years to the day after Pearl Harbor, the kamikaze struck.
*Twitter:**Now that we have Buffer, can we schedule a bunch of posts for
Twitter over the next week?*
- #WWII @USNavy veteran, #kamikaze survivor wrote the article on his old
ship:
- Life in the @USNavy: “You might chip paint, do some painting, clean
burners and floor plates ...":
- After the #kamikaze, "there was an inferno of fire and explosions ...":
- Meet the #WWII @USNavy vet who wrote the @Wikipedia article on his own
ship:
- Three years to the day after Pearl Harbor, the kamikaze struck.
@NavyHistoryNews
- *That handle is for the US Navy's history division. Maybe they'll
retweet? Should we message them to ask for a retweet? What's the
etiquette
here?*
