World War 2

A part of World War 2 history will be landing in Hannibal, Missouri this September. It participated in the D-Day invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944 and is one of the only ships from that era still active today.

This just in. Missouri mules are stubborn. How stubborn are they? Just ask any serviceman or woman who had to deal with them during World War 2 when the US Army drafted them into service.

I hope you have had a great Memorial Day weekend.  I always enjoy this over just about any other holiday because it is one of the few times during the year when I don't work.  Along with the relaxation, I also find myself focusing on something else during this weekend that frankly I tend to forget about too often:  my father's military service during WW2.
