"Those who cannot remember the past
are condemned to repeat it"

George Santayana (1863-1952). U.S. philosopher, poet. Life of Reason, "Reason in Common Sense," ch. 12 (1905-6). William L. Shirer used this quote as an epigraph in his The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich (1959).

I would like to thank Paulo (from Portugal, on the other side of the Atlantic) for providing me with the source of this quote on Fri, 18 Jul 1997 10:56:38 +0100. Isn't the Internet wonderful!!!


"Anyone who has ever looked into the glazed eyes of a soldier dying on the battlefield will think hard before starting a war."

Otto Von Bismarck (1815-98), Prussian statesman. Speech, Aug. 1867, Berlin.


I don't believe that the big men, the politicians and the capitalists alone are guilty of the war. Oh, no, the little man is just as keen, otherwise the people of the world would have risen in revolt long ago! There is an urge and rage in people to destroy, to kill, to murder, and until all mankind, without exception, undergoes a great change, wars will be waged, everything that has been built up, cultivated and grown, will be destroyed and disfigured, after which mankind will have to begin all over again.

Anne Frank (1929-45), German Jewish refugee, diarist. The Diary of a Young Girl (1947; tr. 1952), entry for 3 May 1944.

This Wing of my Homestead is Dedicated to

my Father (a 1944 Photo is now on-line):

CWOII James Thomas LINGG, U. S. Army, Retired

And my Uncle Jodie,

Joe Bailey WHITENER, Jr.
U.S. Air Force - KIA - Korean War
Sergeant Whitener was a flight engineer aboard a B-29 assigned to the 354th Bomb Squadron, 98th Bomb Wing based in Japan. He was killed when his aircraft crashed upon landing from a combat mission on 14 October 1951.
Quoted from a document labeled "The Korean War Veterans Honor Roll"

It's also intended to serve as a
Rememberance
of the men, women, and children who never lived to see the end of "the" war
As well as an Acknowledgement, my way of Honoring, and my Thank You!
To ALL of you - the men and women who fought in WWII and Korea - to those who fought in the Confederate Army for the Sovereign Right of the States to govern their internal affairs without "national" interference - to those who fought in the Union Army for the Constitutional Liberty & Equality for black slaves that Thomas Jefferson wanted them to have and which they still aren't granted by many of us - and to those who fought in/on behalf of the new Union of the States.

And to those of you who are now paying the cost to defend the Constitution
for us, your families, your descendants, and your friends and neighbors.

If you (or your Father, Husband, or any one you know!) served with

Company I, 26th Infantry Regiment, First Infantry Division
during WWII, PLEASE check out Dad's List of Lost Buddies.

Contacts:

The Society of the First Infantry Division
The 26th Infantry Regiment.

If you or your children belong to that elite group referred to as "Military Brats", please check out my Military Brats Room.

Dad was captured by the Germans for a brief period.
But he escaped with the aid of the French Resistance.
He was one of the lucky ones. He came home at the end of the war.
His Experience as a POW is now on-line.

(We don't have the source of this article. It was cut out and put into the family album without it. If anyone recognizes it and knows the source, please tell me and I'll add it.)
(Someday, I'll get the rest of Dad's story transcribed & put on-line.)

If you don't check out any of the other sites (listed at my Trails Head), there are three that each of us should visit at least once:
