Chuck Hinman: His writing exposed the beauty of his nature 'I can think of no greater measure of a man than the depth of love of his son and it's evident that Chuck measured up with the best of who we all strive to be. -JOHN HALSEY By Jon Halsey The comment on CM is correct that the passing of Chuck Hinman evokes a sense of deep sadness. His writing not only exposed the beauty of his nature but also evoked a sense of our own human nature waiting to be tapped. The love and affection he carried for his wife and also the joy and care he evidenced for all who crossed his path seemed to reach a chord of our humanity that is seldom allowed expression in today's technologically fast paced but often isolated society. I can think of no greater measure of a man than the depth of love of his son and it's evident that Chuck measured up with the best of who we all strive to be. The world is a better place for having experienced the Chuck Hinmans of our species. -JON HALSEY Knifley, KY Comments re article 48888 Chuck Hinman Bartlesville OK 19222011 2011-12-16 14:48:53 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Chuck Hinman - Reminiscences

Visit to Medal of Honor Hall of Fame evokes pride in Adair County Comments re article 48875 Another Dakota Meyer sightingDoug McCammish writes: When we were in Charleston, SC, we visited the USS Yorktown aircraft carrier, which includes a Medal of Honor Hall of Fame and they had a special exhibit on Dakota. Even those of us from off have pride in this place we call home. - DOUG McCAMMISHThanks. Doug McCammish. Well spoken, from one who is truly accepted, assimilated, and is a most highly appreciated Adair Countian, with all that term implies. Thanks for being living proof that being Adair Countians has more to do with state of mind, outlook, and attitude than place of birth. Just think of so many of the greatest and best, most authentic Adair Countians - from Daniel Trabue Chesterfield, Co. Virginian and Huguenot (as are the early Loys), to Dr. James C. Salato, John Shelley, Berenice Flowers, Tim Allen, and Dr. Luckey, to name just a fraction - and we find among the very best kind of Adair Countians, the born again ones who chose this place as their home and aren't simply Adair Countian as an accident of birth. -EW 2011-12-16 10:24:27 | Comments | Printable version

It is sprinkling this morning CM understands that special issues pertains I want to publicly go on record, right now, unequivocally, in front of God and the Courthouse, and say before all that I think it may be sprinkling outside now.

Guest Commentary: We don't know how to treat our heroes 'Society should protect its heroes from those who would tear them down. . .

I heard on the radio Thursday, December 15, 2011, that there were stories challenging some of the actions of Sgt.Dakota Meyer. I am convinced that we just don't know what to do with heroes in our country. I think that if you do something heroic you are scrutinized much more than if you do bad things.
