Like so many, my dad was plagued by PTSD and nightmares after the war. In college he switched his major to language and literature because, as he said, "I needed to get it out of my gut...write it down. This is the way it began for me."

@AdamSchein Hey well done, Seattle Superintendent! I wondered where this wretched bastard had taken refuge. Not much of a demotion for him and there he can continue his tyranny over kids.
Honestly, when that Gunner made the special teams play of the year, I was so stoked I ran across the street to tackle that 80 yo old biddy from Philly in the Harold Carmichael jersey! Did it again this morning, too!
Greetings Adam! I hope that all is well, you football Savant. As to the poll question, it's the Cowboys grit that won the game. There is no greater distance in Sports than that between my admiration for that teams heart and my contempt for Jerry Jones.
Please help me honor Major Megan M. McClung she was KIA in Iraq on 6 Dec 2006. Her service includes the distinction of being the first female graduate in the history of the Naval Academy (class of 1995) Rest easy Hero 🇺🇸 🦅
July 20, 1969. “Contact light, engine stop.” The Apollo 11 lunar module Eagle touched down at Tranquility Base on the Moon.
A few hours later, Neil Armstrong and I stepped foot on the Moon, with Michael Collins orbiting close-by.
An achievement resulting from years of incalculable effort, commitment, and team work.
We all did our part to see President Kennedy’s words become reality: “We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others too.”
I couldn’t be prouder to have completed this mission with the hundreds of thousands of people that helped get us to the moon and back home. God bless the USA and all of humankind.
