I just changed my avatar to the shoulder insignia of the China-India-Burma (CBI) Theatre, in memory of my grandfather, Tech. Sgt. Charles L. Wilkinson, 1049th Signal Battalion, 14th Air Force, US Army Air Corps. Rest in Peace, Grandpa. I miss you.

Monday I will be participating in a "Parade of the American Soldier" program at Wilson's Creek National Battlefield. Members of our local Sons of Union Veterans camp will dress as soldiers from the Revolution to Modern Day and discuss common soldier life with park visitors. I will be representing the Indian and Spanish-American Wars.

Lest we forget.
