I think that is a great idea.  They'd probably be fascinated how things were done before there was a computer and then a smartphone.  I think there is nothing like personal history to bring it alive to the younger generation.  Their parents might have been born even after Viet Nam.  They'd probably be in wonderment to know that during WWII, people in their teens left home and joined the military to fight the enemy.  I'll be the vast majority could not tell you what happened in Germany and the rise of the 3rd Reich, and how WWI fed into WWII.  They may have heard about Pearl Harbor, but likely have no idea what that was about.  And that Japan attacked China.  When I think of all I wasn't taught in school myself, I can't believe it.  (so much time wasted pushing back our desks and sitting on the floor to make collages, and just "rapping", instead of learning stuff that was useful.  And had to say the pledge of allegiance every day whether or not we were "offeneded" by it.
