"Issaac and Ishmael" Episode from the West Wing
“Issaac and Ishmael” Episode from the West Wing
Showing my age now, but I was junior in high school with 9/11 happened. If you haven’t seen that episode, I highly recommend it. But I’ll give you a brief synopsis in the meantime. This episode aired October 3, 2001. It was written and filmed in less than two weeks in response to 9/11.

Back From Hiatus
So, a lot has happened since the last time I wrote on here. First, my VA disability and SSDI was approved, and I was categorized as fully disabled at 35 years old. There was much relief to finally have that financial support, but then the label depressed me.

Injuries and Illnesses
Many people in the military get more than average injuries and illnesses. As you can imagine it is from the close quarters with many people and all the physical exertion we have to do every day.
The Army has tried multiple ways to avoid injuries like changing the physical fitness training. Personally I had a lot of problems with it, but I did like how many of the stretching stuff mirrors…

The worst tornado during my basic training arrived at breakfast time and turned the entire sky green. And if anyone has ever seen the movie Twister, it was totally…

Songs that Remind Me of 9/11
Songs that Remind Me of 9/11
What’s Left of the Flag – Flogging Molly
[Verse 1] His eyes they closed And his last breath spoke He had seen all to be seen A life once full, now an empty vase Wilt the blossoms on his early grave
[Chorus] Walk away me boy Walk away me boy And by morning we’ll be free Wipe that golden tear From your mother dear And raise what’s left Of the flag for me
[Verse 2] Then the rosary beads Count them 1, 2, 3

My favorite photo and story about 9/11
My favorite photo and story about 9/11
This photograph, taken by Aaron Lamb, shows the Brooklyn Heights Ladder Company heading for the Twin Towers after the first tower was struck. This would be the last photograph of this truck and everyone on it, six brave souls, because all had perished that day trying to help the survivors.
Aaron Lamb, 20-year-old at the time and North Carolina native, was printing Bibles at a Jehovah’s…

Reference for Blue-Eyed Child of Fortune
Reference for Blue-Eyed Child of Fortune
I absolutely adore this book, I have bought it many times and then given it as gifts to people. I usually like to gift my books after I am done, but this one is a treasure.
Its Blue Eyed Child of Fortune by Robert Gould Shaw. The movie Glory is based of this book and his letters, and Matthew Broderick played him.
