Clip and Crawl

After many moons, the construction fence and its black drapes came down, and people could see their beloved General Store again. I have slowed as I passed and tried my best to stare at it like a stranger, recognize it as an old friend, see the dramatic and yet gentle renovation near completion. This is not to say that many won’t lament the near-certain closing of the Hedges Lane post office.

That means it will also be the 50th anniversary of the last two U.S. soldiers to die in what was never actually a declared war, one that in total killed over 58,000 American military men and women. For over four decades, there was controversy over who was the first American serviceman who died in Vietnam. Richard Fitzgibbon Jr.’s death in June 1956 was deemed to have taken place before the start of the Vietnam War. ... by Tom Clavin
