- "... Cecil Matheney ...": Here's the link to the Jackson, MS Clarion-Ledger's coverage of Mr. Matheney.
- "... Iwo Jima ...": Here's a link to one of the many pages about the Battle of Iwo Jima.

Catchy Caption of the Day
Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI) who has spent exactly zero days in the US Military announced his plan for withdrawing US troops from Iraq by December 31, 2006.
If we compare a photo of Senator Feingold (L) with Soupy Sales (R), I think you see the intellectual and cultural power he brings to this discussion.
