The Influences Behind 'Eyes Behind Belligerence'

It has been seven decades since the attack of Pearl Harbor, now leaving behind faded, fallen ashes. In America’s more recent history the ashes of the Twin Towers replaced those memories, and replaced how we define ourselves as a country. Understandably so. Looking behind us we do still see those who have survived the 20th Century and continue to survive well into the 21st. Who exactly am I referri Read more of this blog post »
