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

The Soldiers General
Jim Ellis – Star Man; Class of 1962 Brigade Commander, who was to ultimately wear 3 Stars asked General Bradley what his reaction was to women joining the Corps of Cadets.
General Bradley said “Congress passed it, the President signed it, I support it”.
Editor’s note — Does America make soldiers like that anymore? Maybe this web site dedicated to the Corps and for the Corps of Cadets will tell you.

“’tis not what man does which exalts him, but what
man would do!” It was Sandy’s good fortune to be pro-
vided with the means and the background necessary to
know and appreciate the many arts. His interest in the
theatre, a devotion to books and music, and a love for
painting make him an excellent conversationalist. Could
it be these artistic inclinations that have so often
prompted, “Is she pro?” Proof enough isn’t it, that
Sandy was one of us?
