U.S. Senator Rand Paul pinned the Purple Heart on Joe Hare, best known as Adair County's VFW Post Commander 6097, at the recent event sponsored by the City of Columbia. Senator Paul was instrumental in getting the honor that Joe earned June 17, 1967 from a wound that was never triaged, thus no record of the wound. He started efforts to get his Purple Heart in 2012 and received it in 2021, through the help of Senator Paul. Comments | Permalink

Travel: Boyhood home of a famous outlaw
2024-07-21 - The American West - Photo by Robert Ellis, Robert Ellis Woodworking
Robert writes, "I could let Columbia Magazine readers take a guess as to what famous outlaw lived here during their boyhood years...however, since I've posted numerous photos of my recent trip to Utah, the guessing will be much easier.
This location really surprised us; we were unaware of it and pretty much happened upon it while traveling through.
Subsequent photos will reveal the outlaw, but for now, anyone care to guess how the misty/foggy, almost ghostly effect (trick photography) was accomplished in this image, and who the outlaw was?"
