The Museum of the Geary County Historical Society in Junction City opened an exhibit on April 8th that honors not only the 100th anniversary of the American entry into World War I, but also the 100th anniversary of the 1st Infantry Division.  The exhibit, “Answering the Call,” considers other wars as well.  See the link:  http://www.yourdu.net/news/geary-county-historical-society-opens-answering-the-call-exhibit/article_ecc18e5a-19a7-11e7-a9f8-5b1b4c318e01.html
