Last Post of 2018!

 

This will be the last post for 2018 and we will pick up again after the new year starts,

Thank you to everyone who follows and reads this blog. It is a work of love and it is good to know it is appreciated.

American Military History is not just the story of the wars that were fought. About who won or lost. It is about the men and women that sacrificed everything for a cause, for a country, for a hope for a better future. In life and death, those who take up that fight deserve to be honored and remembered.

My father was a Vietnam War veteran. Some of the photos he took while over there are featured on this blog. He left us years ago before his entire story could be told. There is so much about the time he was over there that ill never be known because he was never quite ready to talk about it. Part of the reason that I wanted to end the year with the picture above is to honor him. The Three Soldiers stand right near the Vietnam Memorial, watching over those names that adorn it.  I was very lucky that my father’s name is not on that wall, but to this day I believe that a small piece of him is there with his friends that didn’t make it home.

Hello 2019

2018 was a good year for Historia Militaris. We broke 1,000 follows on Facebook and told over 100 stories this year. Next year we are going to bring some exciting new content to the blog, maybe even some additional contributors. We want to grow this and tell as many stories as possible. And we will, thanks to everyone that reads it.

If you like what we bring, share the posts, like them as they go on Facebook and invite others to partake in our journey.

See you all in 2019!
