Who was John Wayne? by Citizen Writer, Joe Heaton
Who was John Wayne. Marion Robert Morrison. John Wayne. He was an idea. In most of his movies, he portrayed a gruff and tough hero. The Searchers. The Sands of Iwo Jima. The original True Grit. Great movies, all. He was a man of honor who had his struggles. He was tough as nails, but …

Is America Experiencing A ‘Revenge Of The Nerds’ Moment?
When I was a kid, I remember watching the 1984 movie “Revenge of the Nerds” and laughing at the ridiculousness of it. I understood it on a kid’s level as a comedy. A few years ago, I re-watched it and understood it on a different & deeper level. I saw understood it as two factions: …

I Stepped Off the Side of the Earth in 1968
50 years after graduation from West Point is a time for remembering. My memories of a Hellish summer aren’t a criticism of anything or anyone – lest sensitivities be triggered in comparison. It’s just one story of the past to tell and consider thoughtfully.

What Do You See in the Families Around You?
What a strange culture we are living in. Everything is being turned on its head. Good is bad and bad is good. It’s fascinating to watch and horrifying to consider the inevitable outcome of this topsy turvy society. I remember well the books and films I ingested as a child, they were full of themes …

One Front: Two Wars Revisited
One Front: Two Wars Revisited I wrote this a week after 9-11. In the 20 years since then, I’ve written over 1,000 pieces.
