Salute to the Veterans!

Tomorrow is Veteran's Day!

A sincere 

Thank You

for your service, men and women of our Armed Forces, past and present, for your dedication and sacrifice!

100 Years Ago Today...

...the "War to End All Wars" (we hoped) came to a conclusion.

In those pre-Internet (even pre-radio) days, print media played a vital role!

When France presented the United States with the great Statue of Liberty, which stands at our gates, she little thought how powerful that symbol of her friendship would some day prove!

By its shining light we now march to her aid!

...a book of the New York Herald newspaper's editorial cartoons, entitled America's Black & White Book: One Hundred Pictured Reasons WHY WE ARE AT WAR, hit bookstores like a bombshell!

Editorial illustrator's W.A. Rogers' visceral renderings, previously seen only by NYC readers, reached a national audience already enraged by atrocities like the sinking of the Lusitania and ready to kick the Central Powers' collective ass!
The illustration above is the final piece in the book.
You can read (and/or download) the entire book from the Smithsonian's website HERE!

Salute to the Veterans!

A sincere Thank You for your service, men and women of our Armed Forces, past and present, for your dedication and sacrifice!

Glory at Gallipoli!

Most Americans are unfamiliar with the WWI story of Gallipoli...

...which serves as the back story for the new Russell Crowe movie The Water Diviner.

Luckily, our "brother" RetroBlog, War: Past, Present & Future, is running a graphic story retelling of the sordid saga!

Part 1 is HERE.

Part 2 is HERE.

100 Years Ago Today...

...The Great War began!

Read this never-reprinted tale from 1964 (the 50th Anniversary) to discover how (and why) the entire planet was plunged into conflict for the first time!

Happy Memorial Day

Get outside, enjoy the beautiful weather, have fun.
But, don't forget to say "thank you" to the surviving veterans in your circle of family and friends for making it possible to do so in a free country.
