Give Me Tomorrow : The Epic Story of a Legendary Marine Unit in Korea

An epic story of valor and sacrifice by a legendary Marine company in the Korean War brought to gripping, cinematic light by an acclaimed historian.

“What would you want if you could have any wish?” asked the photojournalist, looking expectantly at the haggard and bloodied Marine before him. The Marine gaped back incredulously at his interviewer.

“Give me tomorrow,” he said, as the photographer snapped one of the most iconic pictures of the Korean War.

After nearly four months of continuous and agonizing combat on the battlefields of Korea, such a desperate yet simple request seemed impossible, and for many men of George Company, or “Bloody George” as they were known-one of the Forgotten War’s most decorated yet unrecognized companies-it was a wish that would not come true.

Note: I actually heard this book before I read it. The audio production was a dramtic, heart felt and touching preformance. I was captivated by it and the writing style of this book brought it to life. This is defiantly one for the shelf. I knew I had to do an interview for this one, so without further delay........

Gary W. Moore was never confused with real Buddy Holly fans. Gary was not a fan of rock music or what he believed it represented in our culture. He was familiar with Buddy’s name and thought he was dead, but he couldn’t name a single song Buddy had written or performed. In a single evening all that changed forever.

This is not another Buddy Holly Biography! It is a person journey to find this larger than life superstar that America forgot for the better part of 10-12 years. Gary writes and tells the story of how he was stricken with the Buddy Holly Bug and had to find out more. He takes us on this personal journey and brings along a host of friends to join us. This book was masterfully done and I will place it on my top listed you should read in 2011. But, be careful you may end up with endless nights of no sleep continuing the journey that Gary started!

This historic travel presentation of OHP has been requested for a long time now. Every time we bring up The White Oak Civil War Museum on the Relic Roundup it is always: “You got to go!”, “It’s unbelievable!”, or a number of other comments but always ending with an exclamation mark. Our guest is D.P. Newton.

Description from : http://www.virginia.org/site/description.asp?attrid=11405

White Oak Museum houses an extensive collection of Civil War artifacts, representing both Union and Confederate troops. Most items were discarded or lost by troops camping or fighting in the Stafford County and Fredericksburg areas. Displays will amaze the novice as well as the serious Civil War Buff - including replicas of soldier huts that were used as temporary housing during the winter months. Many Civil War soldiers died of wounds and disease. To give proper remembrance to these brave soldiers, White Oak Museum exhibits both military and personal items to honor the soliders, from private to general, who suffered both in battle and behind the front lines.

D.P. Newton and the White Oak Museum will also make an appearance in January 2011 issue of American Digger Magazine (Vol 7, Issue 1) with Matt Jennings and Maverick Jennings. The article, "Uncle Matt and Maverick", will be in the January 2011 issue of American Digger Magazine (Vol 7, Issue 1)."
