My site was placed on WordPress in 2013. Since then I have added a significant amount of material. Approximately 9 months ago my yearly bill was due. I was suddenly unable to access Forwhattheygave.com. A Wordpress Tech contacted me offering assistance. He simply tried to copy my material and assumed control of Forwhattheygave.com. My site still exists as the Tech recently copied material and created ForWhatTheyGaveOnSaturdayAfternoon.com which was my web site prior to setting umps site on Wordpresss. You can find the site as couple of Months ago a WordPress Tech found the site. Thank You. Phil

Rescuing America

Great novel, if you dare! – June 30, 2010

By Bob Carroll –

This is a great book. It is a fast-moving, action-packed novel set in 2020, when many of our current social problems, extrapolated, come to a head and are resolved by a mini-revolution, conducted by people some would call descendents of today’s tea party movement.

Fast moving, highly entertaining and scary! – July 31, 2010

By James Ellis, LTGEN, USA (Ret) –

Ernie Webb is greatly concerned about the current direction of our Country. In his opinion (and I agree) we are rapidly altering the basic principles upon which our Republic and our Constitution were founded. His book lays out a possible scenario if current trends continue. And, it demands thoughtful action for reversing this dangerous trend and for reigniting the beacon of Freedom and Hope that has always shown from America. “Rescuing America” is a fast moving, highly entertaining novel. If you are a true, patriotic American, this book will scare you mightily!

Rescuing America! We Are Taking Her Back!

The year was 2020. Middle America had had enough. Frustrated and angry at the corruption, greed and incompetence exhibited by the government and corporate America, tired of being ridiculed by the liberal press, and furious at the government’s failure to control terrorism and illegal immigration, middle America was ready to respond. Then, two distinct and terrible disasters greatly magnified all of these problems. First, there was a natural disaster of Biblical proportions. This was followed by multiple Islamic terrorist attacks. America was weakened beyond belief. The situation was critical. Middle America responded as they always have: working together. But would that be enough? Could we show enough resolve to keep our foreign enemies from attacking us? Could we in Middle America succeed in forcing our government to return to the tenets and values of our Founding Fathers? Could we become, again, a nation of laws as enumerated by the U.S. Constitution? It would be a tough fight, but do not discount the power of the American people. Once riled, we are a force with which to be reckoned! And we are riled!
The Second Amendment to Our Constitution is our insurance policy.

Charles Daly was a 5-7, 150-pound quarterback who played five years and was a first team All-America four times. He played for Harvard in 1898-1900 and for Army 1901-1902. He was a first team All-America all three of his years at Harvard and at Army in 1901. In his final season, Walter Camp named him as a third team All-America. In his three years at Harvard, the team had a record of 31-1-1. Army, in his two playing years, went 11-2-3. Playing for Harvard in 1900 against Carlisle, he made a 60-yard run and drop-kicked a field goal. Playing for Army against Navy in 1901, he had a 100-yard kick return for a touchdown, a field goal, and an extra point – all of Army’s points in an 11-5 victory.

William Hanna, writing in the New York World Telegram in 1927, called Daly “one of the five greatest quarterbacks of all time.” He graduated from Harvard in 1901. Congressman John H. Fitzgerald of Massachusetts gave Daly an appointment to West Point. Daly was there four years, playing football just two seasons, and graduated 46th in a class of 114.

For several years he alternated between the military and business. In 1907 he was assistant football coach at Harvard. In 1910- 1912 he was fire commissioner for the city of Boston. He was Army’s head football coach 1913-1916 and 1919-1922. He had a 58-13-3 record; his 1914, 1916, 1922 teams were undefeated.

In 1922 he helped found the American Football Coaches Association and served as its first president.

Daly was born October 31, 1880, in Roxbury, Massachusetts; he died February. 12, 1959, in Pacific Grove, California. He had three sons who graduated from West Point and two daughters who married West Point graduates.
