If you are looking for a gift for a history buff, they will be sure to appreciate this "Today in Military History" perpetual calendar. This calendar is not only for use this year -- it can be reused every year. In fact, be sure not to rip off the pages day by day. After July 1, you flip the calendar around and use the opposite side of each page, where you will find the rest of the dates from July 2 through Dec 31.The calendar includes a variety of military facts about global battles, ranging from as well as information about historical events, such as weddings and religious happenings which ultimately led to war. I erroneously thought this was a US military-only calendar, but am understanding that it may have been difficult to find facts pertaining to each day of the year if it were a US-only calendar. The tripod base is sturdy, yet collapses easy if you need to store it back in its box. This calendar is something interesting to keep on your work desk, in your man cave or on your nightstand at home if you are a fan of history and aren't afraid to show it! Five stars.

Looks very promising and exciting! It’s for next year, so I don’t want to fully remove it from its packaging yet in case it gets damaged but it arrived nicely packed and looks like a great idea for history and military buffs. I think it’s cool that’s it’s a perpetual calendar too, which makes it worth more in my mind and a long lasting gift or item. For now I’ve docked a Star simply because as I said, I’m not using it yet and can’t tell the inside quality to ensure that the days are correct and different.
Living in Military City USA (aka San Antonio, TX), we have a large population of active and retired military students at the Library. We support their desire to complete a degree and continue their educational plans at universities. As such, I am always on the hunt for ways to recognize military history both local and global. This perpetual calendar will do just that!The calendar arrived in a colorful box in camo coloring which can be used to store the calendar when not on display. I love the design of the calendar and its large pages with historical events by day. The pages are easy to flip over each day. Each page is printed on good quality paper which should last for a long time with minimal care. The large wired rings are double looped to make it easy to flip the pages. We will be able to set this calendar up at the reference desk next to our newspaper display stand so visitors can also learn about the day in military history.
This perpetual calendar can be used over and over again. Every page represents a battle, equipment or profound event in military history. The calendar is a storehouse of military information, and would be a great gift for veteran, current military member or history buff. The quality is excellent and the information correct. This is a great military education for this modest cost.
