Partial remains of a 16 - 19 year old Union soldier from New York were buried at Arlington National Cemetery on 11/4/2026. Third individual recovered from the 2nd Manassas “Surgeon’s Burial Pit Site” near the John Dogan homesite, along with the remains of amputed limbs. Remains were recovered with New York infantry coat and cuff buttons along with an artillery case ball near the neck. Rest in peace hero. 🇺🇸 🫡 youtube.com/shorts/lwPzaOAA8… via @YouTube

A simpler time. Corner of Deep Lake Road and 5th Avenue. The old store was in use up until the mid-1970’s when it was sold and transformed into a tavern. I remember buying an ice cream sandwich from the old lady who was the last owner of the grocery store.

For students of the U.S. Civil War, I would like to recommend the collection of letters from William J Kennedy who served in the 55th Illinois Volunteer Infantry (1861-1863: DOW). For me it was a personal read as he was friends with my 3x Great-Granduncle PVT Michael Humphrey.

“Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend this Constitution. Right now, the threats to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad but from right here at home. This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens. Our laws are clear: You can refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution.” - Seditious Six Statement Nowhere in that statement was there any concern about “pitting” uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against foreign narco-terrorists or drug mules. So the usual DC insiders ordered the spin to drop a fake story to create a distraction for their network and cable news allies to talk about on the weekend shows other than the armed DNC foreign mercenaries they let into the country to murder and rape U.S. Citizens. And the seditious call for the National Guard to not protect ICE agents if they feel bad for illegal alien Jose who is just getting his breakfast burrito before heading off to work at a DNC millionaire/donor’s landscaping company. Navy “Hero” Mark Kelly is now looking to throw enlisted Navy Seals under the bus along with the Joint Special Warfare Commanders. What a traitor to the military? I don’t think that is going to help his courts martial. @SecWar @RepAndyBiggsAZ @RepEliCrane
