My family and I have become involved in Honor Flight, a system of flights being run from various places around the country for the purpose of bringing WWII vets to Washington, DC so they can enjoy the WWII Memorial and other monuments erected in their honor. With our WWII vets entering their 90’s and, frankly, [...]
Enjoy this day but remember, too, what the day’s about. Dear Lord Jesus and Mary, Mother of God, Hold all these brave souls in the palm of your hand, comfort them and their families. Send angels of protection, love, and comfort to all the service men and women still at war, bring them home safely [...]
I received an e-mail recently from a helpful reader who pointed out a broken link on a previous post (something I’ll be posting a bit more on, here, in just a moment) and I wanted to both call out her kindness and pass along the update. The post was actually one of HoodaThunk?’s all-time largest [...]
Today I paused with my fellow Americans to recall the attacks 11 years ago that changed things so much. Anger may have dropped to a simmer and pain faded to the ache of an old injury, but remember I do. I offer prayers for our fallen countrymen and women, their families left behind, the members [...]
Today we celebrate our independence and, while that thought might raise some debate, I would urge you all to give a listen to Bill Whittle and heed his advice for the day. Myself? I’m going to enjoy the day with my family. I’ll tell you all about it when I get back!

The planes were shipped in standard fashion in 1945 from their manufacturer in England to the Far [...]
The attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese had been devastating in more ways that one. Not only had the Pacific Fleet been dealt a crippling blow with the loss of so many of our mainline warships and sailors, the psyche of the nation had been wounded. The Japanese, suddenly revealed as an enemy, had [...]
I haven’t had much use for Paul Krugman of the New York Times but the man holds such a place of high esteem in liberal/leftist/Dem circles that you just simply can’t get away from him. Making his appearance on the Sunday talk shows, Krugman touted an alien invasion as just the ticket to get ourselves [...]
“If Man were meant to fly, he’d have wings!” That commonly-known ridicule of people like the Wright brothers who were told repeatedly that heaver-than-air flight was just so much science fiction is held up as an example of how you should never say never where science and technological advance is concerned. Thanks to MikeM over [...]
In these modern times so many of our holidays have devolved to little more than shopping extravaganzas and the occasional football game.
