As a Southerner and native of the Shenandoah Valley, I offer reflections on the Civil War-era South… and sometimes a little more. But… expect the unexpected

War Horse… my take on it
January 15, 2012 by Robert Moore
Rarely taking the opportunity to write about World War I (much less anything else as of late🙂 ), I have to say… regarding War Horse, well, it’s not just a World War I movie… but that’s cool, really, because, overall, it’s just a rich, enjoyable movie. In fact, I got the sense that it takes […]
The South and her contributions to the US military since the American Civil War
October 9, 2011 by Robert Moore
I have no doubt that the South has, through the years since the American Civil War, contributed significant numbers to the ranks of the US military… and has much to be proud of, for her contributions.

Hey, Congress! We, the People, want to honor OUR last World War I veteran, APPROPRIATELY.
March 5, 2011 by Robert Moore
As most everyone should know by know, our last World War I veteran passed away earlier this week. No, Frank Buckles didn’t cross the no-man’s land, fighting from trench to trench. He wasn’t one of the famous flyboys. He wasn’t an officer. He wasn’t even wounded. BUT, he was there, and he was the last […]
