At the Twilight’s Last Gleaming
October 13, 2018
I lead a lot of men and women in a desperate battle.

The Sack of Manila, 1945
August 13, 2017
War in the Western Pacific is in the air this summer, so I thought it might be a good time to file a few notes about the fight we had with the Japanese in the Philippines in 1944-45.
