I grew up in a different world than most of my peers. You see, on any given day in my house, you would find my siblings and I playing make believe of some of the greatest heroes of American history. My parents taught us history from the time we were young children. We took it … Continue reading An Appeal To Teach History Again

Happy Release Day, Seize the Fight!
I can't believe it's finally here! Seize the Fight releases to the world today. Isn't that insane? It seems like it was ages ago that I sat down to begin writing my short story for it.

How Well Do You Know America?
I decided to do something fun today in honor of Independence Day coming up. Who doesn't enjoy a good quiz to test their knowledge? (Okay, let's be real here. I usually can't resist taking quizzes like this, and then I bemoan life when they throw in a trick question and I fall for it.) But … Continue reading How Well Do You Know America?
D-Day: What Would You Do?
Seventeen years old. You're some 5,000 miles from home. The listing deck of the ship you're aboard is tilting from side to side with the swells of the waves, causing your seasickness to be a thousand times worse. A strangled scream catches your attention. Over the side of the boat, where the rope ladder swings, … Continue reading D-Day: What Would You Do?

The Last Call//Forever We’ll Remember
"The Last Call", more commonly recognized by the name "Taps", is perhaps the most heartbreaking piece of music ever composed. It is comprised of only twenty-four notes, yet it stirs deep within us every ember of patriotism, grief, and humility that can be found. Those of you who have been to an American military funeral, … Continue reading The Last Call//Forever We’ll Remember
