We're not lost, Sergeant, We're in … France

Ah, the joys of the NCAA tournament continue. My own university bowed out in the first round, but I always enjoy watching the underdogs have a shot. Richmond and VCU were both underdogs and both from nearby Richmond, Virginia, so I was hoping for them to both win and face each other for a chance at the Final Four. Fortunately, VCU won their game, so I’m watching them push Kansas right now.

• I checked for links on Dragoon the other day and found that Mitch Williamson over at War and Game had a blog entry on Operation Dragoon.  There was also an entry on the 65th anniversary in Today’s History Lesson.
• I’ve always believed in the power of books. Glennor Shirley is the head librarian for Maryland prisons and there was a nice profile of her work in the Washington Post. I know where I want to send my next batch of books I clear from my personal library!
• I also heartily recommend a review of Battleground, part of The Best Picture Project. It follows members of I Company, 3/327th Glider Infantry Regiment (aka C/1/401).
