Fort George G. Meade: The First 100 Years

Recommendations

Info

James A. S 1955- James A. Speraw Jr. was born and raised in Waterbury Connecticut. At the age of 17, he enlisted in the Army. After Basic Training at Fort Dix, New Jersey, and AIT at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana, he was stationed at Fort Meade as a SIDPERS data analyst in 1974. While at Fort Meade, Jim volunteered at the then closed Fort Meade Museum and was bitten by the history bug. Dressed in a WWI uniform, he helped reopen the museum on Armed Forces Weekend, May 1976. In September 1976, during his last week in the Army, Jim's goodbye gift to the museum was repainting the Renault tank. Jim returned home to Connecticut, and after several jobs and two years at the University of Connecticut, Jim came back to the Fort Meade Museum in October 1980, employed as a Museum Aide, and earned a degree in History from the University of Maryland in 1986. He had worked his way up to Museum Technician when in 1991 he was deployed to Desert Storm as part of the Army Museum System's
IN MEMORY OF 301 peraw Jr. 2017 Artifact Recovery Team. While deployed, he was hired away from the Fort Meade Museum by the U. S. Army Center of Military History where he was employed as a Curator. Besides Desert Storm, Jim was sent to Haiti as DoD rep for Historic Property during Operation Uphold Democracy, was on one of the Army's designated recovery teams to support historic recovery operations at Ground Zero at the Pentagon, and assisted the 101st Airborne Division (AASLT) with artifact recovery during Operation Iraqi Freedom in Mosul, Iraq, in 2003. Although having been gone from the Fort Meade Museum since 1991, Jim lived nearby and returned to assist in special projects. His assistance in the installation's 100th Anniversary Gala and his input to this book have been invaluable. Jim passed away on Oct. 14 2017. He was buried in his replica WWI uniform.
