Third Herd, Iraq 2005 photo courtesy of John McCullouch What is freedom worth to Americans? Is it worth the loss of friends or a job? Is it worth the loss of a home or car or societal status? Is it worth everything? Worth your life? It’s a question that certainly must have challenged more than a [...] Although August 15, 1945, was before my time, this kiss was for years the image that always popped into my head. I still think about it, but conversations with one WWII veteran in particular have left me with other images. Charles Stanton was a radioman on the USS Waldron, or the “Bloody W” as the sailors [...] It’s been 70 years since some 22,000 Polish prisoners were gruesomely executed in the Katyn Forest Massacre in Russia.

It was an annihilation that was arguably part of Stalin’s plan to cripple Poland and render them [...] At the close of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, Benjamin Franklin said that the work of our founding fathers had given us a Republic… “if [we] could keep it.” More than 200 years after those words were spoken, one could view his words as prophetic at the least.
