Korean War Vets asked to Share Stories of `Forgotten War`

"It is imperative that the Veterans from all services who served in the Korean War are recognized and remembered for their service and sacrifice," -Colonel David J. Clark

(WASHINGTON DC) - The Department of Defense Korean War 60th Anniversary Committee has opened an online forum for Korean War Veterans and those affected by the war to submit their stories.

The opportunity to document these experiences is fleeting. That is why the DoD is coordinating projects, events and opportunities...

Indulging in Fallacies

Richard Nordquist defined ad hominem as: "An argument based on the perceived failings of an adversary rather than on the merits of the case; a logical fallacy that involves a personal attack."

(MANAMA, Bahrain) - "Apparently, you are too stupid to comprehend the difference between an insult and an ad hominem argument," someone argued.

Ad-hominem excuses for argument are rife on the internet, where some writers seem stupid enough to deserve the insults, and others are victims of underserved personal attacks.

Doolittle Raiders: The Last Reunion (VIDEO)

Of the 80 Raiders, 62 survived the war. They were celebrated as national heroes, models of bravery.

They once were among the most universally admired and revered men in the United States. There were 80 of the Raiders in April 1942, when they carried out one of the most courageous and heart-stirring military operations in this nation's history. The mere mention of their unit's name, in those years, would bring tears to the eyes of grateful Americans.

Honoring the Dead

I don't care what people think, nobody has a right to start wars, to continue to use money that should be targeted for education and food and science, for drones and other death tools that indiscriminately rob life.

(SACRAMENTO, CA) - On a day we are to celebrate and honor our war dead, I feel sadness and grief and want to ask many unavoidable questions. For the Marines in the WWII island campaigns, and the U.S. Army's war against Hitler, I see justice.

For the American soldiers who defeated the Confederate traitors and slave traders, there was no option other than to fight. Spare those, I see nothing honorable.

Thoughts as Memorial Day Approaches

Maybe it is worth considering a tally-board to track which politicians cast votes against legislation considered to be potentially beneficial to our veterans.

(HARRISVILLE, N.H.) - As Memorial Day approaches every year I try to give considerable thought and consciousness to those who have given so much to our country.

I try to think of what I can possibly say to help make my fellow countrymen fully aware of the many sacrifices made by those who have placed themselves in harm’s way for the benefit of all.
