The History Underground

Had a great weekend in California celebrating Jack Moran’s 100th birthday. Also celebrating with us was Helen Patton, who is the granddaughter of General George Patton. Jack was in the 87th Infantry Division which was attached to the 3rd Army under Patton.

While at the Reagan Presidential Library, I had a bit of a surprise when Helen presented me with a replica of her grandfather’s dog tags. She said that these are typically reserved for WWII veterans but that she was making an exception in my case because of her admiration of the channel (which was humbling). Helen is doing great work carrying on the legacy of her grandfather and keeping the history alive at La Fiere Manor in Normandy (which she now owns and operates).

Layover in Denver. Throwing down on a great American breakfast while watching the latest episode of History With Waffles on my phone (which features a really good interview with Tim Smith of the ACHS).

What a sad, broken world it is that we live in. I’m not anti-waffle, but don’t try to elevate it above a pancake.

Of all of the words of wisdom that I’ve absorbed from Charles Spurgeon, there are none that have connected with my soul more than this.

It never ceases to amaze me to hear the stories of what some people in the past did with historic artifacts. The most recent episode of American Artifact dropped yesterday and features one of the biggest facepalm moments with a Gettysburg artifact.

In case you missed it, a new episode of History Traveler dropped yesterday. We’re walking the ground and looking at what might have been had the atomic bombs not been used. In addition, you might see some archival footage that you may have never seen before showing the last amphibious landing of the war. Check it out!
