10 Best Gifts for Military Wives
When it comes to marrying the love of your life, there is a certain layer of magic that comes with knowing you'll have a partner by your side through thick and thin. However, the promise of standing side by side when you are a military couple will have its own challenges. The months of separation while a husband is out on duty can bring on lonely days. While being a military wife comes with its own share of magic, it always helps to feel the support of your loved ones. Whether their husband is in the next room or is a world away serving our country, these are some of the best gifts for military wives. Give them that extra reminder that their love is always with their military spouse. Little reminders of support truly go a long way.

Both sides of the political spectrum are, arguably, more at odds than ever before (not including the Civil War, obviously). Despite our differences though, we should all be able to come together and respect those who have fought to keep our country safe—our honorable veterans.

Should the US Remove Confederate Memorials?
Should the US take down Confederate Memorials or not? It was once said that those who forget or try to eradicate history, will end up repeating it. History has always had a light and dark side to it. As Newton stated, “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.” It is by looking back upon both sides of history that one succeeds. By taking down Confederate memorials and/or monuments, the US is trying to erase history, and by doing so, will most likely repeat it again.

Motarded
A fire truck red pickup truck with chrome around the fenders and dual exhaust pipes roared to a stop at the Marine Corps Recruiting Station in Newark, Delaware. Private First Class Klyde Bakeman hopped out of the truck and yelled, “Oohrah!” He had covered the truck in decals: one read the “Rifleman’s Creed,” in red of course; another showed a bulldog with a KA-Bar between its teeth, another showed the division Bakeman hoped he be assigned to, First Marine Division; and among the dozens of “Semper Fi” stickers he also had a large Eagle Globe and Anchor decal on the hood of the truck in metallic gold. A vanity plate simply read, "Chesty."

The Art of War . Top Story - February 2019.
The tale, as far as I know it, started in 1979. It started with Saddam Hussein. It started with conflict, with war, with struggle, hostility, bloodshed. It started with death. My grandfather, then 25 years old, was in combat for six years. He was married and left behind six beautiful young children. I talked to him the other day about the Iranian Iraqi war and he had told me that he had fought in the defensive position and shot down Iranian fighter aircrafts to protect his base. He had told me that at some point during the war, the Iranian military had surrounded his base, and that for three days, they were left to starve. The soldiers had to resort to eating grass and drinking muddy water.
