What?! I spied and purchased the MHQ Magazine for its cover story; “Muslim Slayer” because I have always known (but always told differently); that Christians with all ‘their’ Crusades were the initial ‘troublemakers and murderers’ of the religious problems (and even hatred) that now exists (or simmers) between Eastern and Western religions and their respective countries. I knew that was wrong! It has finally been told correctly…that the Muslim ‘religion’ fevered and fueled the Ottoman Empire with selfish grandiose desire for conquest. Religion is man’s answer to God: we should seek God’s answer about Himself and stop trying to out think our One and only Creator. He is not the problem—we BOTH are. BUT… I got caught by the, “Don’t give up the ship” story… Does you neck hurt from that ‘subject’ whiplash? Well, imagine my embarrassment!!! Now, I grew up in the Newburyport, Ma area—where the Coast Guard was officially born (some seven, odd miles West; in West Newbury) and I remembered that ‘saying’: Now who and what was the situation? I thought. Aaaah, Oh Ya, I remember: “The American Revolution” says my brain…to my brain. I almost past it by…but, “War of 1812!”, caught my mind as my eye glanced off the stern of the ship and off the American flag. “Opps! and you’re a 23 year Military Veteran?” my brain is now arguing with itself. So I read the entire article without pause and it is one of the few military historical accounts that the writers (excelled in excellence) to ‘paint’ the dramatic story in my mind, as I read. I could smell the cordite and fell down numerous times for all the slippery blood that coated the decks…and Ooh, but our arrogance to suppose we would win with such little effort after being drawn out to fight by that egging letter from Captain Broke! It is a tough story…we lost! Ouch!! But what a movie it would make: That some graves were moved over three times and that the Chesapeake’s wood ended up as a “…watermill in Wickham…” England, and “operated until 1970” and is touted as, “one of the finest surviving buildings constructed from old ship timbers.” It sort of makes me think of a lost but now found solider…whose white cross (in Normandy) can be seen and honored and respected—his body gave all; the Chesapeake timbers gave all.
