The 11-Year-Old World War 2 Soldier
A young boy runs home from school so fast he almost trips over himself. It’s a mild December day in Texas, but sweat streams down the boy’s face as he grips his tongue between his teeth and sprints toward his house. When he gets there, his mother, stepfather, and six older siblings huddle around a radio in their shabby living room. The boy hates his stepfather, but right now, his anger is directed elsewhere. “Shush,” says his mother as the boy's fight for a better position around the family’s prized radio. “It’s starting.” All the family is poised as the radio presenter fills them in on what’s happening. “Hello, NBC. Hello, NBC. This is KTU in Honolulu, Hawaii. I am speaking from the roof of the Advertiser Publishing Company Building. This morning we witnessed the assault of Pearl Harbor by enemy planes, undoubtedly Japanese.” The USA is under attack! This is war.

Who 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.

What 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.
