It has been said,
“If you do not know where it is you came from, it is impossible
to understand where you are headed to…”
A more well know version of a similar sentiment is that
“those who do not know history are condemned to repeat it”.
I am a firm
believer in both of these posits.
This relatively new addition to Calypso’s World is
dedicated to that belief and its consequences – History, in
particular American History, and its effect on who and what we
are, and should be, as a people and a nation.
Being even more
specific, my particular interest in American History usually
resides in and around the ideals of freedom, liberty, truth, and
the sacrifices which MUST be continuously made in an endeavor to
preserve and defend them.
As
this section grows (like Thomas Jefferson at Monticello, I am
constantly modifying and adding to this site) I will add more of
my personal opinions and beliefs as well as those of other more
worthy of attention. For
the time being however, I will simply limit this section to
information and links on some of the more important hero’s of
the “great defense”. That
defense being the protection of the ideals and shapers of events
which have made us who we are.
Americans.
Views and Notes:
This
list represents MY personal choices for SOME of the most admirable
and important shapers of our country's history. They are my
personal hero's and mentors from afar. Your opinions of my
choices may vary...
