Garrett McKinley Price

Garrett McKinley Price
WWI Veteran
http://bit.ly/ihOKlm



Garrett McKinley Price 1919 grandfather of Philip Keith Atkins & father of Ruth Lucile (Price) Atkins {source}

Garrett was born 28 Nov 1896 and was married to Inez Kelly until her death on 2 Jan 1956. He died in his sleep at the home of his daughter and son-in-law Sidney Atkins Jr. on Little Harts Creek, Lincoln County, West Virginia on 5 Jan 1979.


Garrett served in the US Army during WWI at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas. His job as described to me was to attend the horses of the army officers. The non commissioned officers or NCO's were less fortunate. I discoved to my surprise during my basic training at Ft. Bliss that the army had retained the horse stables as a museum. I was able to personaly share this story with my grandfather just before his death and prior to my departure from El Paso, Texas. Grandfather always had a way working with animals. General John 'Blackjack' Pershing was the commanding general at the time.

Bavarian Corner Restaurant

Bavarian Corner Restaurant
Lacey, Washington
Small and quaint but big on flavor by Gordon Medley
3.9.2011



Bavarian Corner is in my top 5 places to eat in the entire Puget Sound region. Angelika Irving, the owner, cooks authentic German food just like my mother used to. I think it's better than in Germany itself. The place is small and can get busy to just relax and enjoy yourself. more...

Overall approval rating 87%

What kind of man is President Obama?

What kind of man is he?
lincolnjournal.com

Editor:

I have some time to read and some time to become a "news junkie" and a strange phenomenon has caught my attention lately -- one that really bothers my thinking about the President of the United States and what he is all about. To be specific, due to the fact that he was a teacher of the law, as we are told, he must be aware of some wording in some recent speeches that even school children know isn't correct.

In giving speeches on September 15, September 23 and October 18, while giving speeches, the President partially quoted paragraph 2 of the Declaration of Independence, BUt, he left out the word "CREATOR" all three times. When I heard about the occasion on September 15, I just supposed it was due to stumbling over words, which I have done myself on occasion. However, it now appears he is doing it with purpose and that, I believe, is offensive to most Americans.

His quotation should have read, "that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their CREATOR with certain inalienable Rights, "etc. Now, read that once again and leave out "by their CREATOR" -- what do you see? In the first place, why should he CHANGE a quotation of such historic importance?

The implication is that our rights and blessings have NOT come from God and His love, but are gifts from "government". The ramifications of such thought are that if the elected elites can give you anything, the elected elites can take it from you. But there is an even deeper problem, which bothers me more than a word being deleted, and that is the President, who claims to be a Christian by his own confession while in campaigning for the job, refuses to give Honor and Glory to the Son of God, whom the Holy Scriptures say created all things.

It makes me ask: "What kind of a man is he?"
