After-Action Report: The 160th Anniversary Reenactment of the Battle of Chickamauga

Mrs. Robin and I home schooled both of our children (now grown and with families of their own), and #homeschool American #History classes included attendance at - and then participation in - "Living History" events. These are re-creations of people and events that made American History and whose impact continues to this day.

The article linked below is my "Report of the Chaplain" following this past weekend's amazing re-creation of the three-day Battle of Chickamauga. This was the last Confederate victory before the rape of the South by General Sherman which devastated much of Georgia but helped bring the War Between the States to an end. Written from the point of view of a Confederate soldier, and with heavy emphasis on the spiritual aspects of that terrible war, I hope readers find it informative and inspiring:

House Passes Bill to Revive WWII-Era Lend-Lease Program for Ukraine
The legislation has already passed through the Senate and now heads to President Biden's desk
On Thursday, the House overwhelmingly approved a bill that would revive the World War II-era lend-lease program for Ukraine in another effort to pour weapons into the country. The lend-lease program was used to ship arms to the Soviet Union, China, the UK, and other US allies during World War II.

The bill passed through the Senate earlier this month, and it is now headed to President Biden’s desk. If signed into law, the lend-lease program would ramp up arms shipments to Kyiv by allowing the US to give weapons to Ukraine free of charge while technically requiring payment at a later date.

According to a summary of the bill, it would temporarily waive “certain requirements related to the President’s authority to lend or lease defense articles if the defense articles are intended for Ukraine’s government and necessary to protect civilians in Ukraine from Russian military invasion.”
