A Centennial reminder… WW1 on the brain

February 10, 2013 by

Just last week, while going through boxes still remaining from my move, I came across a small bag of buttons. I was glad to find them, and they served as a reminder that the centennial of the First World War (though I can’t say for sure that some aren’t vintage WW2) is not too far […]

War Horse… my take on it

January 15, 2012 by

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 […]

The South and her contributions to the US military since the American Civil War

October 9, 2011 by

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.

Making a case for “the others who are gone”: “The First World War is not understood, or well remembered in the United States”:

Hey, Congress! We, the People, want to honor OUR last World War I veteran, APPROPRIATELY.

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 […]
