Weekend Wanderings New Years 2011

My lament about a lack of posts on Christmas at war was pre-mature. I just hadn’t wandered far enough to see them!

Commander Salamander linked to a true story of leadership at Christmas.
The folks at War on Terror capped the week for me by blogging about Christmas at war.
Geraldine Doyle, model for the “We Can Do It!” Rosie the Rivetter poster, passed away. Interestingly, Mrs Doyle only worked as metal presser for two weeks and didn’t know of the poster until 1982. AbsurdBeats posted about it, linking to the New York Times obituary.
Don Kemsley served in the Canadian Navy during World War II and his daughter will be posting his diary entries for 1944 starting tomorrow. I’m going to be following them.
Commander Salamander had posted a speech and video of General Kelly’s speech on the two Navy Crosses awarded to LCPL Jordan Haerter and CPL Jonathan Yale. He linked to his source at American Thinker, who had written about it back in March as well.
