These stories touch so many nerve endings, elicit so many raw emotions, not all positive. My thoughts today drift away to the names of acquaintances and comrades whose names are chiseled on a long black granite wall. Blessed are the peacemakers.
Thank you for this history. One has to wonder what the 23 year old Captain Frank Harleston would have become had he lived. He was a natural leader. Such a genuinely well liked and respected young man. I am glad to have now heard of him, and so many others of the same ilk.
Another example of how even the best of men can, through circumstances they have no power over or even understand, become caught up in and are caused to waste their valor, their body's integrity, endure the most excruciating suffering and lose their precious lives in the service of a bad cause. Yes, in his time this man was a lion, but as it says in the Bible, "a living dog is better than a dead lion."
