Half my stress in life comes from knowing that if my Facebook-browsing finger slips *ever* so slightly from the “care” reaction, I will inadvertently give the “laughing” reaction to someone’s horrible life event.

Are you craving more history content? Long drive on a 3-day weekend & need a break from true crime? The lawn needs to be mowed (again), or your gym playlist isn’t the right vibe? Look into @DMH_at_CGSC’s podcasts “A Confused Heap of Facts” & “Broad-Gauge Gossips.” #EducateToWin

Someone got promoted!

Another Spotsylvania battlefield staff ride for the US Grant Elective in the books. Part of the U.S. Army CGSC Fort Belvoir experience.

Can confirm.

I’m not okay with this situation.

Truer words were never written.

Grateful for the opportunity to have presented at another Civil War Institute Summer Conference at Gettysburg College. Some truly great friends in attendance.
