[May 13, 2023] On the lighter side of life, today I will deviate from my typical article and hit on Tom Pemberton Farm Life. Tom is a UK farmer with a good sense of what a cow wants and knows how to make 100 of his cows happy. Humor, much like art, is to be searched out. Often,… Read More »
[May 3, 2023] The more experience I gained in the military, the more I learned to appreciate creative people. This way of thinking is not what you typically find in our military services.

[December 5, 2022] General Satterfield’s recent article asking “how do I become a man?” sparked my thinking about my dad. When talking to others, I always described my dad as a good man.
