GUEST OPINION: The Gettysburg Address

On June 1, 1865, Senator Charles Sumner commented on what is now considered the most famous speech by President Abraham Lincoln. In his eulogy on the slain president, he called it a "monumental act."

Marine’s musical dream comes true

When his father and other male relatives, all of whom had been army men, asked Luke Spiros why he wanted to join the Marine Corps, he replied, "Because I want to play in the Marine band." This is what the Marine recruiter had promised the young Bostonian when he signed up. But the military is not necessarily interested in what a recruit wants; rather they're interested in how the recruit can best serve the military. That's why when after Boot Camp, the Marines informed him that he had scored very high on the Morse code and Crypto exam - mastering code Continue reading >>>
