Know Your Medal of Honor Recipients:
Major Edmund Rice (US Army) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on July 3, 1863, at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. His citation reads:
Conspicuous bravery on the third day of the battle on the countercharge against Pickett's division where he fell severely wounded within the enemy's lines.
First Sergeant Carlos H. Rich (US Army) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on May 5, 1864, at Wilderness, Virginia. His citation reads:
Saved the life of an officer.
Quartermaster Louis Richards (US Navy) received his Medal of Honor for his actions on April 24-25, 1862, on board the USS Pensacola. His citation reads:
Richards served as quartermaster on board the U.S.S. Pensacola in the attack upon Forts Jackson and St. Philip, and at the taking of New Orleans, 24 and 25 April 1862. Through all the din and roar of battle, he steered the ship through the narrow opening of the barricade, and his attention to orders contributed to the successful passage of the ship without once fouling the shore or the obstacles of the barricade.
Today I’d like to wish The Wife a
VERY HAPPY 34th BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!! She is a great wife and a wonderful mother… more than that, she is a great person. I work for the money and high speed internet access, but The Wife has a passion for her work. She was able to build the family services part of Pattison’s Academy from scratch into the only part of that organization that brought in more than it spent and now she is building
Path Finders Team Services from the bottom up. Of course, she is not doing this by herself… but a large part of being successful is getting together with the right people. Some of her customers know how great she is… though I’m sure some take for granted all of the extra work she does for them. While I’m thinking about it… If you’re on Facebook, go “like” the Path Finders Team Services page (and share it). Also, let people know about their website (which I linked above). She was able to sweet talk one of the top website creator people into making the site for her. In honor of The Wife, I’m going to share 34 random pics of her (which she will probably hate, so… HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!)…
