[August 26, 2024] As Americans, we often speak with deep respect for those military members who served in combat and those on the home front who supported the war effort. Often overlooked are those who died during training or other similar missions. In the Sierra Nevada mountains of northern California, two WWII Airmen were found frozen in the… Read More »
[August 23, 2024] This is what Americans need to hear! In a rally at Asheboro, NC, two days ago, former President Donald Trump pledged that he would demand the resignations of top military officials behind the inglorious Afghanistan retreat. It is hard to find a clearer case for their resignations. Unfortunately, many of these senior leaders will be… Read More »
[August 14, 2024] While I apologize upfront about the hyperbole “goose-steppers,” I originally erased the title. I restored it because few other words describe the heavy hand of the European Commission goose-steppers against free speech. We are fortunate in America that we have the 1st Amendment to the Constitution that guarantees free speech.1 Recently, Elon Musk did a… Read More »
[August 7, 2024] Two years ago, I published my latest book, 55 Rules for a Good Life. Since then, many have written me to give an update about how the book was received and asked if I was writing a follow-on book. Special thanks to all those who took the time to contact me, and I continue to… Read More »
[August 4, 2024] “Reproductive justice is economic justice.” This statement is common and infers that abortion improves the lives of the mother, her family, and all of us because it is “justice.” A counter to this idea, in a hearing on abortion, U.S. Senator John N. Kennedy asks two experts to get to the heart of the abortion… Read More »
[July 31, 2024] In May of 1970, after I started Engineering classes at Texas Tech University, I turned 18, registered for Selective Service, and received my military draft notice shortly after that. The Vietnam War was still going strong with American and NATO participation, and the draft was in full swing, calling up young men to be part… Read More »
[July 29, 2024] With a swift hand-twist and pushing forward on the slide, my M1911 .45 caliber pistol is now ready to fire. As regular readers know, I grew up with guns, mostly shotguns and rifles, but also with the understanding of how to use them, stressing safety, target practice, proper storage, and the rules of proper gun… Read More »
[June 17, 2024] When the Islamic terror organization Hamas waged war on Israel on October 7th last year by purposefully targeting young people at a music festival, my first reaction was that I’d read about such atrocities before. I was immediately drawn to compare the growth of the Nazis in Europe with the rise of Hamas, who now… Read More »
[June 15, 2024] I’ve often been asked, “Why are you building this World War II memorial?” “Why are you going to all that trouble and spending all that money?” Or some similar questions. I answered that this is how we honor those 16 million who served during WWII and show our respect. The more I’ve thought about it,… Read More »
[June 14, 2024] Each year, on Flag Day, I get to remind my fellow Veterans that today is more than remembering our national flag. ‘Old Glory’ – as many like to call her – is the epitome of a moral good. She links us to America, our past and future. And that is no trivial matter in 2024… Read More »
