[January 27, 2021] Long ago, as an Infantry Platoon Leader, I lead a convoy on a route that I did not explore in advance.

[January 20, 2021] I’ve been a huge baseball fan, since before I can even remember. My dad would sit me in front of the radio, as a toddler, to listen to our favorite team play; the New York Yankees. Growing up, I collected baseball cards and watched every game I could. And today, I’m still in possession of… Read More »

[January 18, 2021] For his nonviolent activism in the Civil Rights Movement, Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. has rightfully taken his place in the struggle for peace and acceptance of all people – regardless of race.
