First To Fall: June 2012
http://cramsie.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 17, 2012. If a picture is worth a thousand words, how can we measure the worth of a poignant video? I was touched several years ago by the Ford commercial of a young veteran returning home from Iraq. You'll find that one in the archived posts of this blog. The video embedded here, titled "Reveille" is not new, but it's worth watching every now and then just to help us keep things in perspective. I hope you find it as inspirational and thought provoking as I did. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

First To Fall: April 2012

Tuesday, April 10, 2012. As Ross expanded his search for information to local divers and fishermen, he met Roger Gaspar an expert in these waters and a man with extraordinary background and skills. On Easter Sunday morning, the two of them coordinated a trip to the site with the help of Alan Bird, an Oyster boat's captain, to determine if that wreck was still to be found. Why on Easter?

First To Fall: April 2014

Thursday, April 10, 2014. Seventy Years Later - Still Missing. Not that it really mattered. The fuselage code "5C" for 671st Bomb Squadron and individual identifier "I" were more important. Pilots and crews of the planes normally referred to their aircraft only by the last three digits anyway. At "699", Bill met Staff Sergeants Charles Henshaw and Jack Steward. They would be the turret and tunnel gunners flying with him on this mission—his fourth combat sortie. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Saturday, July 28, 2012. The Clock of Life. The following text, the author of which is unfortunately lost in an endless loop of email forwards, is to me a powerful message about life and purpose. I hope readers of this blog will agree and that anyone who knows the source will add it in a comment below:. In fact, Eddie's skill at legal maneuvering kept Big Al out of jail for a long time. SO WHAT DO THESE TWO STORIES HAVE TO DO WITH EACH OTHER? Butch O'Hare was "Easy Eddie's" son. Postscript: Snopes.co...
