World War Two

He had too much respect for his peers who suffered and bled at the Chosin Reservoir to claim anything else.

A co-worker rode a motorcycle up the stairs and burst into the broadcast booth.

Little Drummer Boy. My father absolutely loved the song. Others despise it but I think of my old man every time I hear it played.

This isn’t the first time Hollywood has rewritten the past.

The ceremony took place nearly three-quarters of a century after he was killed-in-action in World War Two.

He was tall and fun loving and was a crewman on a B-24.

it seems that more and more of our citizens have become so over sensitized, so myopic and so lacking in intestinal fortitude that they now can be traumatized by something that happened even before they were born?

The politically correct are working to mimic Orwell’s 1984 when it comes to rewriting history.

I’m a history buff.  I’m not alone.  I also like firearms.  I’m not alone.

My old neighbor, Dean Reynolds, joined the Navy to get off the farm in Franklinville, NY. On the morning of December 7th, 1941 he was working a radio room at Pearl Harbor.

I got out of bed Saturday morning and my left wrist was aching.  By Monday the pain was severe and I couldn’t even lift a cat with my left arm.

I’m evidence life isn’t predictable.  In the summer of 2007, I was working as a casual employee of the United States Postal Service.  Every night when I walked into work at a postal sorting and distribution center just before 10:00 P.M, I thought it might be the night I would die on the job...

Nobody asked me but I can answer in one word why President Obama is promising weapons to Vietnam:  China!  The Vietnamese and Chinese are traditional enemies.  The Vietnamese were only an enemy of the United States for a decade.  Some historians remind us after World War Two the USA quickly warmed up to the vanquished...

Memorial Day brings bittersweet emotions.  I remember the holiday from my days as a kid and am filled with pride because of the stories I heard of heroism and the sound of flags flapping in the breeze and the quiet parade where the boots of the color guard tapped the pavement along Main Street...

I live in the house without a television.  Let me clear that line up.  I live in a house without a television hooked up.  There were three TV sets capable of entertaining me at my last house in Delaware.  Because a now ex-girlfriend was living there mostly as a tenant the last 11 months I was paying for television there...

“Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”  John 15:13     I’m more than perplexed and downright annoyed mainstream media is replaying arguments about the Iraq War.  Republican candidates for President are being asked if they would’ve gone ahead with the invasion had they been President instead of George W. Bush.  ...

I like going to the movies.  I just don’t do it nearly as often as I did when I was young.  I did see American Sniper earlier this year and thought it well worth the ticket price.  While I was disappointed it didn’t win Best Picture at the Academy Awards I can’t complain because I didn’t see the competition...

I remember reading somewhere 20 or so years ago about an office in Washington hunting Nazis.  It had been established in World War Two and the staff was to ferret out any saboteurs and sympathizers within the United States.  The war ended...
