Such is the case with a select group of veterans today whose previous deployment and military service overseas put them in contact with important connections in Israel, Palestine and Egypt.

So, today I would like to highlight these veterans and tell you about the work they are... Full story

Grant, on the forty-eighth day of Grant's siege of that town. During... Full story
