Jay Scott Newman said in a letter distributed Sunday to parishioners at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Greenville that they are... Read more

From the Desperate Irish Housewife comes a tale of bravery from the Marines on 9/11. I had never heard it before, but don’t doubt it at all. Happy Veteran’s Day a few days late.
