Dear U.S. Legacies,

My mothers maiden name is Margie Nell Patton. She is in her late 70s. She is looking for some genealogy material for General George Patton that might yield this info. Can you point us in the right direction please?

What a wonderful way to honor Martha Hostetter. Without Cindy sharing, the world would have missed memories of Martha.

Whether it was in his youth

or more recent days,

there was a warmth about him...

there was always a warmth in his eyes.

Some of us have our last memories of him

with him looking back at us

barely having the energy to talk,

but having all the energy in the world

to form a big smile.

I know him to be the one in the family

It is very important that in the title of this piece, that the "veil" in reveiled be in italics. This word is meant to be "revealed," and is purposely misspelled to include the word veil. That is why those four letters must be italicized.

Regarding Class Trip

Hi!

I really enjoyed reading about your trip to DC and the Marine Memorial. I am a WWII veteran and I hope you and your students got a chance to visit the WWII Memorial. The WWII Memorial is not a veterans memorial, it is a monument to all those people that made victory possible. This includes the defense workers and the people at home that did so much to help us win a hard fought victory.

For every 60 seconds of anger, you lose one minute of happiness.

Kindness: a language the deaf can hear, the blind can see, and the mute can speak.

When you see someone without a smile, give him one of yours.

I do not think happiness is too hard to find -- it is how you treat it once you get hold of it that counts.

What holds you together is far greater than what can tear you apart.

Reader Comment

I noticed an old recipe here for making Applebutter. However, it did not say how long to cook it. Can anyone offer me some ideas as to how I can tell when it is finished. Does it get thicker after it cools off, etc.

Thanks
