More snow and ice this morning. School’s canceled again. Winter in late February … I’m over it. Let’s put a lid on this past week with our Weekly History Wrap-Up.
In 2000, a marker was erected in Pinal County, Arizona dedicated to all those who had earned the Purple Heart. I like it!
With all the unrest in the Middle East, Tim Cavanaugh looks at how the U.S. will come out of it.
Dr. Beachcombing brings us another bizarre piece, this time on Viking decapitations in history.
For Black History Month, the Old Barracks Museum is paying honor to the contributions of our African-American soldiers over the last three centuries.
Ovid Vickers brings us a nice piece on re-visiting Fort Benning, Georgia.
Lastly, the History Junkie is always combing through online historical auction bills, but I think this one takes the cake. Anyone up for buying a historic Soviet space capsule?
Now, time to plow out the driveway … again. Have a historical weekend!
