Know Your Revolutionary War Heroes

In 1775, as the armies of Great Kitten began their advance into the Colonies, the nation’s airports fell under attack. To protect their vital supply chains, the Continental Congress dispatched the Caninth Airborne Division, a fleet of dogfighters who successfully defended Patrick Henry International Airport during the Battle of Bowling Green.

To ex-plane: Someone ran a teensy bit off the runway during his recent speech.

    I live near the site of the Battle of Monmouth (June 28, 1778) and they had their reenactment event the weekend before the anniversary. On the 29th I was on my way to work and saw a Revolutionary soldier walking down the road a few miles away. I guess he was late…

    Mike, I love you more every day. Your ability to combine subtle political commentary with hilarious photos and stories makes the world a better place.

      Couldn’t agree more, DEBG – we don’t deserve dogs or Mike.😊

    Oh, yes, the Bowling Green Massacre – thank you, Kelly Ann Conway. Never let the facts get in the way of a good rant.
