RIP

Today we honor Navy Hospitalman Aaron D. Ullom who was KIA on this day in 2011. We will never forget you, brother.

The following is from https://thefallen.militarytimes.com/navy-hospitalman-aaron-d-ullom/6567866

The Pentagon has released details on the death of a 20-year-old U.S. Navy hospital corpsman who was killed in action in Afghanistan.

The Defense Department said July 14 that Seaman Aaron D. Ullom was on foot patrol in Helmand Province when he was killed July 12.

Ullom was a 2009 graduate of Midland High School and was on his first deployment to Afghanistan, where he arrived in February.

His family says he was on a training mission with Afghan troops when they came under fire from insurgents.

The website for Ware-Smith-Woolever Funeral Directors in Midland said funeral arrangements were incomplete as of July 14.

Lester Stoddard, 98, is too proud to look at the camera as he displays his medals from WWII. Lester served with the 473rd Regiment in Italy. He will never forget the day he was wounded, Friday the 13th, April 1945 in the town of Massa. Sadly, two of his fellow soldiers did not survive the same artillery barrage. www.theWWIIRifle.com

28 years ago today, Forrest Gump hit the box office. I was honored to play the wounded Vietnam Veteran, Lt Dan Taylor, and represent so many of our wounded veterans who selflessly served our country. And today, 28 years later, it’s an honor to help “the real Lt. Dan’s” through the Gary Sinise Foundation. Much like my character in the movie, these heroes suffer not only physical wounds, but invisible ones. I believe we can never do enough for them.

I am forever grateful for the opportunity Forrest Gump gave me, and the Army veteran who changed my life forever, Lt. Dan Taylor.

Best commentary on the subject right here...

Do you remember that time that you were protesting your own government and even requesting that the National Anthem not be played at your games then going back to this same government and pleading that they intervene on your behalf to get you out of a Russian prison after you illegally brought drugs into their country…. Does not get more ironic than this…. Even with her despicable behavior I do believe that every American is worth fighting for even those that hate their own country.

On July 1, 1863, the three days long Battle of Gettysburg began. One of the conflict's first casualties was Major General John F. Reynolds. Reynolds was born and raised right here in Lancaster at 42 West King Street (currently home to Younger Realty Group).
As a brilliant military strategist, he was considered by both the Union and Confederate armies to be the best general in the North. His distinguished military career included the Battle of Chancellorsville, the Second Battle of Bull Run, and the Battle of Gettysburg.

Just before Reynolds was shot through the neck by a Confederate sharpshooter while leading his men into battle, he said, "Forward men, forward, for God's sake, and drive those fellows out of the woods!" Reynolds died instantly from the wound and was the highest-ranking soldier on either side killed at Gettysburg.

However, Reynolds' story doesn't end with his death. Shortly before the battle, Reynolds had secretly engaged his longtime Catholic sweetheart, Katherine May Hewitt. The relationship was complicated by the fact that Reynolds was a Protestant. After a discreet courtship, they planned to marry upon his return from Gettysburg.

This is where things get interesting. If you feel a chill while walking on West King Street and notice a tall, handsome, oddly dressed man, there's a good chance you just saw Reynolds' ghost. His spirit is said to roam the street on his way to meet his fiancé just as he had promised he would more than 150 years ago.

On this Day in History. On June 28, 1863, Union forces burned the Wrightsville Bridge to stop the advancing Confederate Army. This action saved Lancaster County and set the stage for the three-day Battle of Gettysburg that would soon begin on July 1.

Marvin Gilmore was one of the first black men on Utah Beach. His job was to tow anti-aircraft guns right from the landing crafts through the water and on to the surf. While he wasn’t front line infantry, the stress of not getting a vehicle stuck was much pressure on a young black soldier serving in a mostly white army. He did his job and did it perfectly. His battery was set up quickly and ready to defend or ground troops from any enemy air attacks. Today his back 78 years later. Www.thewwiirifle.com
