Lt.Col. William "Wild Bill" Donovan, USA (MOH)
165th Infantry Regiment
42nd “Rainbow” Division,



From This Day in U.S. Military History:

15 October 1918 – Lieutenant Colonel William “Wild Bill” Donovan earned the Medal of Honor while leading his regiment, the 165th Infantry (formerly the 69th New York, the “Fighting 69th” of Civil War fame), 42nd “Rainbow” Division, in an attack to capture a German strongpoint. By acts of personal courage such as rallying platoons of soldiers decimated and about to break from enemy fire, he again led them forward. Though seriously wounded he refused to be evacuated and continued to command his men from a bomb crater. Eventually the Americans did have to withdraw after suffering devastating losses. Donovan started his Guard service by organizing his own cavalry troop which then commanded during its tour of duty on the Mexican border in 1916. He then joined the 69th New York just prior to the mobilization for World War I. Even before earning the Medal of Honor, in July 1918, he displayed extreme courage while leading a battalion in its attack on German positions in the Oureq River (called by the Irish of the 69th as the “O’Rourke River”) sector. For this action he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross (the Army’s second highest medal for valor). In World War II Donovan organized and commanded the Office of Strategic Services, the forerunner of today’s CIA."

Good evening, Army Bro! It has been many moons! I hope everything is well with you. We head up the road to Frederick, Maryland in the Autumn to McCutcheon's Apple Products and buy unfiltered Cider, Jams, Apple Butter, Honey, etc.

I ferment the Cider into Apple Wine that we affectionately refer to as "Rockgut." There's a home wine-making outlet there known as "Flying Barrel" a couple of blacks away where we buy our wine-making supplies.

How was your commute? Are you fighting any closures?

Dark and dank here today, and computer system problems.

Hi, Kathy! The legs were improving - then they sprang a fire drill on us at work and I had to walk down eight flights of stairs to the street. It was not easy, to say the least. I have to say, though, that there were numerous people who offered me assistance on the way down - our people are still good even if the pols are not.

I'm sorry I was so late this evening - I was writing a letter to John-Man. He's doing extremely well at school - some Air Force recruiters were by a few days ago trying to recruit him - he told them he wanted to go Marine. He aced the AVSAB test - 92. He has another liberty the 26th of this month. Mary Frances and I can't wait to see him again!

Evening, Kathy. Never identified with beer, though I certainly enjoy it.

Bet in Alaska you go straight to winter.

You Are Carmel Apple Cider
You are a total charmer. You are smooth enough to put people at ease, and sweet enough to make them smile.
You dazzle people without even meaning to. You just try to be yourself, and that's always enough.

You are a naturally generous person. You go the extra mile for others, without even thinking about it or being asked.
You have an eye for detail, and you like to add that little finishing touch to meals, decorating, and your own personal style. Like the caramel in the apple cider!

It’s weird how some of these tests are right on. Of course, it is not scientific and most any answer can be applied to our lives , but I truly am a homebody.

Rain outside, all my dogs and cats sleeping peacefully in one place or another around the house, my husband doing busy work of some kind or another because he’s just that way, and me, beans and ham hocks in the crockpot, reading a good long novel..that’s the life.

That I wish I had...LOL!
