I love history. In my home office I have several books on different wars and I have maps for the areas that were affected by those wars. I think that knowing what caused a war in the past is a great way of preventing them in the future.

I have several European maps with notes on battles that took place in World War II. I’ve also been to Austria and Germany and I have photos of battlefields. On my wall are several maps of Germany.

I have never been to Japan but I have a couple of Japan maps marked where the United States dropped the atomic bombs on them. I feel like if I know about this part of history then I can do my part to prevent it from happening again.
