VETERANS CORNER

They say “Old soldiers never die,” and this may be true. For there is a place reserved for them in the history of our country. Many will remain nameless, but on special days of the year, a grateful nation will pause to honor them. To those who took the risks and paid the price, and to those who took the risks and returned to build the greatest nation on earth, we proudly salute you.

To the men and women who have served our country, consider this your corner to tell your story. As General Douglas MacArthur said, “I speak for the silent lips, forever stilled, in the jungles, on the beaches and in the deep waters of the Pacific that marked their way.”

IT’S TIME TO TELL YOUR STORY

Contact us with your story. Let your family and friends read where you were and what you did while serving your country.

Reflections on Veterans Day

Posted on 10 November 2011

This year, the 93rd annual remembrance of Veterans Day falls on November 11th, 2011, a date otherwise written as 11/11/11.  The recurring elevens are more than historically correct; they are poignant.  They mark the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, when the guns of World War I fell silent, for that [...]

You Are Not Forgotten: MIAs, POWs

Posted on 13 September 2011

This past Sunday marked the 10th anniversary of 9/11.  As stirring and painful as the ceremonies were, several media representatives raised questions concerning the length of our national memory with respect to the day that claimed so many lives while demonstrating so much courage and compassion.  One newscaster said, “Those of us of a certain [...]

Stolen Valor

Posted on 24 August 2011

To set the record straight, this writer has to apologize for the title of the article.  But, it seems that no other words can truly express the subject matter. The Vietnam War was a long conflict between the ideologies of Communism and the Free World.  But unlike our World Wars and Korea, our nation was [...]

Nicky Blue

Posted on 24 June 2011

Lately, my email system’s in-box has been filled with out-of-the-ordinary messages.  Sadly, the last of these was from the grandson of a dear friend, informing me that his grandfather has passed on.  Thus, I am moved to write this tribute to an extraordinary man who touched my life. My friend was baptized Nicholas J. Prestipino [...]

D-Day Remembered

Posted on 04 June 2011

For some of us, June 6, 1944 is nothing more than a random date in history. But for others, that date will never be forgotten. Field Marshall Erwin Rommel (a.k.a., The Desert Fox) of the Axis forces had predicted that June 6, 1944 would prove to be the longest day in history. Rommel was right. [...]

In Memory of Memorial Day

Posted on 28 May 2011

Because many towns and cities claim to be the birthplace of Memorial Day, the exact origin of this holiday remains vague.  Originally named Decoration Day, we do know that Memorial Day has Southern roots.  It began when groups of Southern women decorated the graves of Confederate soldiers during and after the Civil War.  “Kneel Where [...]

Get Out of Jail Free

Posted on 05 May 2011

To those of you born into the greatest generation of our time, you know the game Monopoly as the family entertainment of its era.  But what you may not know is that, strangely enough, this game was used to help the Allied Forces win World War II. In 1941, after being shot down and captured, [...]

Unsung Heroes

Posted on 29 April 2011

Many nations have had their defining moments in time; history recalls their distinctions.  America’s moment began with the signing of the Declaration of Independence and reached its peak with World War II.  This global conflict inspired our country to rise to the occasion, despite its not being prepared at the onset of the war.  To [...]

A Few Good Men

Posted on 23 February 2011

With all the troubles in this world causing such doom and gloom in so many countries, and echoed by the media, one has to stop and wonder what the future holds for this planet.  Its Creator had a vision of “peace on earth, good will towards men.”  But that all flew out the window when [...]
