Let me say this about that. I have been interested in military history since I was a kid.  Later in life, my profession often required me to travel internationally, which also afforded me the opportunity to visit many of the great battle sites I had read about as a child.  However, visiting the site of a great military battle […]

Genny, as she was called by her parents Ed and Pearle, was born in 1923 in Buchanan, Virginia, in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains.  While Ed was a muscular man, standing a few inches over 6 feet tall, Pearle was a short rotund woman whose world revolved around […]

  Let me say this about that. I’ve always been fascinated by money.  Oh sure, “Who isn’t?” you may ask, but that’s not what I’m talking about.  I’m talking about the ‘things’ that are used for legal currency.  Today of course, legal currency is usually paper notes or coins issued by the federal government of any […]

Let me say this about that. OK, let’s start by being honest with each other.    Question:  How many of you out there really understand what the hell is going on in the Middle East?   That’s a pretty hard question so I’ll ask another, more simple one.    Question:  Why are the Israelis and […]

Let me say this about that. This is the time of the year when every newspaper columnist or TV talking-head lays out their predictions for the upcoming year.  Or, as in the case of a new decade, the coming ten years.  And, since most of the established print and broadcast media have the intelligence of fruit, […]

Let me say this about that. For those of you who perpetually don’t pay attention, you probably have not been caught up in the recent interest in the year 2012.   2012 is the year that the world is coming to an end – December 21, 2012, to be exact.  Now this is not a date […]

Let me say this about that. I have a great deal of respect for our military.  They live a tough demanding life, often in some hell-hole on the other side of the planet, and get paid diddley-squat.  Oh yeah, there’s also that ‘getting-shot-at’ thing that can prove to be a detriment to following well meant instructions to ‘have-a-nice-day’. A […]

Let me say this about that. What in the hell is happening in America?  Where is that self reliant, hard working, courageous country I saw on September 12, 2001?  Somehow, in eight short years we have gone from the proudest nation in the history of man – to – a debt riddled, politically correct, pussy-boy, […]
