Disclaimer

If you do not know me (I mean, really know me) then there is something you need to understand before you read this blog: I value the truth above everything else... except a good laugh. A good laugh will almost always beat the truth as far as I’m concerned. Everything you read on this blog will be true, somewhat true, or something I made up in an effort to get a laugh. Sometimes I will go on a rant that I don’t really mean (or only kind of mean). Sometimes I will mean what I write only to completely change my mind a year, month, or day later. Such is life. By reading this blog you agree not to get offended by anything I write (or, at the very least, you agree not to tell me or anyone else that you are offended). It is worth noting that my employer does not endorse my blog (or even read it, to tell you the truth). The Wife also does not endorse my blog (though she will read it from time to time). I am not paid to write this... it’s just my way of giving back to the community. I have, and will, touch on a wide range of subjects and will give my opinion on these subjects. Again, most of what I say is for laughs but every now and then I will say what I really think and feel (see my views on Westboro Baptist Cult). How will you know when I’m serious and when I’m trying to get a laugh? You’ll know. And if you don’t know, well... maybe this isn’t the best thing for you to be reading. So, sit back, read and enjoy. Leave comments if you want and don’t be afraid to publicly follow me.

Athlete of the Week…

Know Your Medal of Honor Recipients:

Private Frank C. High (US Army) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on May 16, 1899, near San Isidro, Philippine Islands. His citation reads:

With 21 other scouts charged across a burning bridge, under heavy fire, and completely routed 600 of the enemy who were entrenched in a strongly fortified position.

Corporal Patrick Highland (US Army) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on April 2, 1865, at Petersburg, Virginia. His citation reads:

Conspicuous gallantry as color bearer in the assault on Fort Gregg.

Captain Edward Hill (US Army) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on June 1, 1864, at Cold Harbor, Virginia. His citation reads:

Led the brigade skirmish line in a desperate charge on the enemy's masked batteries to the muzzles of the guns, where he was severely wounded.


The I’m just sayin… Know Your South Carolina Athlete

Our athlete of the week this week is former James Island High School football standout Hank Campbell. I believe he was at JIHS around the same time as Teresa Lynn. Honestly, I couldn’t find much about Hank on the internet (way to let me down, Wikipedia)… but I did find the below video. As you can see, after high school Hank went on to be a star football player for the Revolutionary War Heroes. If you want to know more of his stats and stuff like that, you’ll have to see if your research team can do better than mine… But for now you’ll just have to trust me when I tell you he was a great football player. Enjoy the video:
