He also predicted lows in the high 30s and rain in Red River. After...

Like my father, a huge number of the men in this building also marched off with it ringing through their heads. ( Not a unique phenom. My memories of Desert Storm are always sound tracked to “Wind Beneath My Wings” and “Proud To Be An American.”) I am,...
