[April 9, 2023] Today is extraordinary, perhaps more special than we might think and more practical. It is a solemn and preeminent celebration of Jesus Crist’s resurrection.

[March 11, 2022] “Learn to connect the dots, Satterfield.” My commander was on my case about not properly using our military intelligence to properly position my Infantry Company in an upcoming training battle.
