I loved making these origami paper cranes when I was a child. I was taught by Japanese friend of the family when we were stationed in Japan. It's a small, calming, creative action, taking a piece of paper and transforming it into something else.
This is what a 7-ton US military truck looks like; blown up with uncertain reports of 5 US Marines killed and 10 US wounded. Three or more were Women Marines, but this is not certain either, reports as 'missing' or status unknown. Thinking about the magnitude of a truck this size being blown to bits leaves an unescapeable image of what happened to the people inside the truck. Please bring our troops home now. Please.
'And Should We Die' is a historical novel, written by Arthur Ruger, with a compassionate look at a little known tragedy in American pioneer history; the Willie-Martin handcart trek (the last of the handcart pilgrimages) with incredulous hardships that took so many lives. A novel about faith and courage in the Old American West.
