Forgotten Heroes book cover

Forgotten heroes, they truly are. Men of honor, integrity, and perseverance, love of God, country, and family who fought on many fronts and survived to tell their stories – stories of horrors seen which live on forever in their minds and hearts. These veterans are slowly “crossing to the other side” to be greeted by those who have long been there – welcomed with open arms. Men and women you share combat and service time with, you never forget, especially those you see take their last breath. These are the personal accounts that will live with you till the end of time.

Tom Simmons, author of The Man Called Brown Condor, Forgotten Heroes of WWII and Escape from Archangel, one of the most patriotic men I know, sent me this link. It made me miss my daddy so very much. He was sitting in the stands with my mom and brother the day I graduated from Boot Camp, Ft. Jackson, SC on that hot June day in 1983. I know he was proud of me then and still is. Sgt First Class USAF William Heyward Collins 1922-1991. This is for you Daddy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoABty_zE00

A sub-note from the agent….

Six or one half dozen of another. My mother used to gage the weather by “Arthur” (arthritis). She would say something like, “Mmm—mmmm, I think Arthur is coming for a visit.” Then she would look to the sky, locate wind direction and check the color. If it was “high yella” (a yellowish glow), she would say, “We are fixing to get it.” She was right more times than Bill Powell, the weatherman we had on WMAZ for decades who is now deceased. He had a commercial he did when he was training the new weatherman to take over. I think his name was Chip. Anyway, he held up this crocheted doll and said, “I have this hung up outside. If it is wet, it’s raining. If it is white, it’s snowing. If it is hot to touch, I go back inside.” I liked him a lot.

I used to live in Georgia where you never knew what was coming. We had every type of weather you can think of: tornadoes, hurricanes, thunderstorms, flooding from torrential downpours that once lasted nearly two weeks in ’93 and Macon was flooded all down Riverside Drive and, yes, ice and snow storms; one that kept our electricity off for 10 days. We had to go north to get heat. What an oxymoron!

Now, I live in Dallas, Texas. I thought when I moved here I would see cows, horses, ranches, real cowboys and dinosaur-looking oil wells (I was weaned on JR Ewing). The reality: it is a melting pot of international corporations and very few indigenous trees. Prime hood for tornadoes, heavy winds, hail the size of baseballs and flooding – when it rains. My husband took two years of meteorology and can read the sky. Around here you can read the cars, too. Those poor things without garages look like the lunar surface.

So read Buzz’s blog, think about who is closest to being right and then walk outside, look at the sky, find the wind direction and use your common sense. If you are in that area, the Eastern Seaboard from the Carolinas upward, make sure you have a heat source, flashlights, food and water. Heck, do that regardless of what any weather man says. That is why God gave you reasoning.
