Dorie Miller at Pearl Harbor: Telling a heroโs story
The heroic tale of Dorie Miller has become a familiar part of World War II lore, but it took months after the Pearl Harbor attack โ and plenty of digging by one newspaper in particular —โฆ
Mess Attendant Dorie Miller was aboard the USS West Virginia #OTD in 1941 during the attack on Pearl Harbor. He manned a machine gun and was awarded the Navy Cross for his bravery. The Pittsburgh Courier saved his story for us today.

There are physicians actually stripped of their licenses and have felony fraud convictions that are considered martyrs as well (i.e. Richard Fleming)

You have to realize that in Texas it is a crime not to vaccinate your livestock, but your right to not vaccinate your kids.

Covenant Childrenโs Hospital in Lubbock, Texas, near the measles outbreakโs epicenter, is now treating patients who have abnormal liver function on lab tests, a sign that theyโve taken too much vitamin A thanks to RFK Jr. pushing it as a measles treatment.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth Renames Fort Moore to Fort Benning
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth signed a memorandum renaming Fort Moore in Georgia to Fort Benning.
This one infuriates me. Gen Hal Moore was the greatest post WW2 American infantry leader. Naming a base for him was the right thing to do. This is a slap in the face to the army and the infantry in particular

Interesting, can you recommend any books that shed some light on Chamberlain?

Yes, I guess that should have been two separate questions. Does Chamberlain play a role in this myth?

How is Neville Chamberlain fit into this and is Trump also seen in that role?
