Something That Didn’t Make the News

Marine Capt. Brian R. Chontosh of Rochester, N.Y., received the Navy Cross for extraordinary heroism in Iraq.  This is a story from a year ago but I just discovered it and found it interesting.


Memorial Day 2005

On Memorial Day 2005, please take a moment from your long weekend and remember and honor the "doer of deeds" – our nation's servicemen and women.  Read my annual message here.

Read in the news about the Crazy Horse Memorial (South Dakota) making a fund raising push.

Newsweek Acknowledges Error In Story – Costs 15 Lives
