For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty, Private First Class. Johnson served as a reconnaissance scout with Company A during Operation Rock. While manning an observation post on Hill 146, his patrol was attacked by a platoon-size enemy force. When a grenade landed in his fighting hole, Private First Class Johnson shouted a warning and threw himself on it, absorbing the blast and sacrificing his life to save a fellow Marine. His heroic actions prevented enemy advancement and reflect the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and U.S. Naval Service.

General Nathanael Greene and I are on our way to South Boston, Virginia where we will attend a three day event commemorating the 245th anniversary of Nathanael Greene's Race to the Dan. I'm the keynote speaker on February 14 presenting "The Life of Major General Nathanael Greene and the American Revolution." Oh, and we brought my husband along, too. 😉Huzzah!

In the heart of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, bison roam as the light of a new day touches the North Dakota Badlands. The timeless beauty of this landscape seems almost untouched, echoing the days when a young Theodore Roosevelt first set foot here.

Bald Eagles can have a concerned expression when looking straight on.

Eagles gliding through the rain drops might be one of my favorite scenes to film. Everything about it is majestic and serene. The fish’s fate was decided when the incoming tide forced it to the surface too quickly, filling it like a balloon.
