Linda RivenbarkPublished 2 years ago in ServeWho was Charles Jackson French?
Charles French is a World War II hero you will hear very little about. The reason why is about as obvious as the reflection from a mirror. In September 1942, Charles was pulling a life raft with fifteen injured sailors around his waist. He swam for six to eight hours. Now imagine doing that in shark infested waters, oh by the way the Japanese are trying to kill you and oh you have to deal with racism as well.
Lawrence Edward HincheePublished 2 years ago in ServeWhat People Really Mean When They Say Thank You for Your Service
On Veterans Day and Memorial Day, you hear it a lot. Your Facebook friends post pictures of themselves and their relatives in military uniforms, and the comments frequently include the phrase, “Thank you for your service.” It’s become the “have a nice day” of the new millennium. The number of people who sincerely mean it is questionable.

FATHER's DAY WAS THE BIGGEST HAUNT in and around our post-Vietnam and Philippine War-era household. Men had not yet returned from overseas military assignments to which they were drafted... forced to leave home and family, to defend oppressed populations somewhere on another side of the world. Some were held in P.O.W. Camps of Cambodia. Rambo and Swartzenegger were not coming to their rescue on or off film. Some were more distanced from their family's mental stress for worries at home and in-home in the absence of "dad" where mom had to struggle alone or under the glaring of taunting eyes and smirks because "mom ain't got her man or a man," and children waiting for an explanation of whether they had a father or not. Those who were not yet born when he left under orders of the government, could never claim to know who a father was. While family wrestled at home with whichever oppression befell them, "Dad" wrestled with the likes of Agent Orange and land mines. After the Korean War concluded some were further directed to the Philipines where so many endured the Death march... never making it back home until the happenstance of that nation relented and the fathers of America were let to come back home to what was left of family... if he survived.

M.L. LewisPublished 2 years ago in ServeThey Killed Her Husband. She Got Her Revenge
Mariya Vasilyevna Oktyabrskaya (née Garagulia) was born in 1905 into a poor peasant family in Crimea. Indeed, destitute was an understatement, as she was regarded as a serf - a fancy term for slave. Coming from a humble background, she fervently embraced the growing expansion of communism and its values, as it gave her an education, two jobs, and even a husband.
