The Many Lives of the Lusitania Medal
In this episode, we are examining several medals produced when a German U-boat torpedoed a civilian British ocean liner during the First World War. The medals became the center of a propaganda campaign that spanned the Atlantic. Originally created by a German artist, the medals quickly became tools for the Allied propaganda machine and a nightmare for the German government.

The presentation is part of Cultivating Kapwa, a free day-long summit organized by the Greater Atlanta chapter of the Filipino American National Historical Society.
Tucker will discuss the Filipino Veterans of World War II Congressional Gold Medal, which was collectively awarded in October 2017 to Filipinos who served in active-duty military status between July 1941 and December 1946. Honored were those under the command of the United States Army Forces in the Far East (USAFFE) within the Philippine Commonwealth Army, the Philippine Scouts, the Philippine Constabulary, recognized guerrilla units, the New Philippine Scouts, the First Filipino Infantry Regiment, the Second Filipino Infantry Battalion (Separate), or the First Reconnaissance Battalion, including those commanding or serving as U.S. military officers or enlisted soldiers.
