    At 11 AM, take a minute or two to remember those who have served.

    Re: Veterans / Armistice / Remembrance Day 2016

    I've been studying the Civil War a lot lately, focusing in the 6th WI from the Iron Brigade. (I've become a bit obsessed with Rufus Dawes, his memoir is an awesome read.) Union soldiers are never really thought of in regards to today's remembrance, but the Union lads that fought and died to keep our country together and end slavery deserve a tip of the cap. Thanks for your service Rufus, you made it through 3 long years of hard service, thanks to your brother Ephraim survived but lost his lower jaw, and thanks to your brother in law Charlie who died of disease while serving. May you all rest in peace.
