Our executive director travels to several European scenes that were featured in a pair of our 2019 stories, and visits the locations where Western New Yorkers made history.

Volunteers from the American Red Cross provided aid and comfort to countless Allied soldiers who faced death on the front lines during World War I.  One canteen worker from Buffalo recorded her experiences so future generations could understand the horrors and futility of war.

Dubbed the "Dean" of the Supreme Court by Chief Justice Warren Burger, attorney John Lord O'Brian argued over 50 cases before the nation's highest court, while serving his community and his country in many other ways as well.

The final installment of our three-part series explores how Western New York supported America’s entry into the First World War, as well as the celebration that took place once peace was declared.
