Corvette Club Steps Up and Honors a Returning Soldier
2012-01-23 15:00:00 Whatever your politics, it's hard to question the sacrifices that America's soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines make for this country. The all-volunteer force gets sent around the world for as much as a year or more at a time, millions of Americans stepping up to serve, often putting themselves i

What do you buy a soldier for Christmas?
2011-11-26 16:09:00 Everyone has asked me, as if somehow I will magically know the answer to this question: what does your sister, Sam, want for Christmas? To put this in perspective, people have asked me this for the past 19 years, because nobody, not even my parents, usually knows the answer. She’s always been a particularly difficult person...

Was Soldier Field's surface to blame for Cutler's injury?
2011-11-21 15:11:00 What would’ve happened if Johnny Knox didn’t slip on that slant route? Does Jay Cutler still throw an interception? Probably not. Phil Simms pointed out that Knox was leaning which could have caused him to lose his footing. I’m not a wide receivers coach so I’m not going to dissect Knox’s technique. Did Knox slip... Read more »

Coming Soon: Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
2011-10-13 20:25:00 In December Le Carre’s iconic book Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy will be hitting the big screen.

The author kicked off his writing career with two novellas, Call For ...
Problem with Soldier Field turf is not safety
2011-08-03 11:56:00 The oldest stadium still in use in the NFL today, is Chicago’s own Soldier Field. Named to serve as a memorial to World War I armed forces, the Bears’ home has resided along the bank of Lake Michigan since 1924. While the stadium saw a $632 million dollar renovation in 2003, it’s still regarded as...

Dressing Like A WWII German Soldier on Weekends Proves How Rich We Are
2010-10-20 18:00:00 -By Warner Todd Huston First of all, despite all the chest puffing by sports-freaks and rock-music geeks who want to say that Civil War and WWII reenactors are "weird," the very fact that there are such things as reenactors at all -- not to mention sports nuts or music fanatics -- is proof that westerners are well off, rich if you will. The existence of Civil War and WWII reenactors is great evidence that the United States is a success. But first, let's face the facts. Civil War and WWII reenactors are not any stranger than people that wear those silly looking bicycling clothes with the pointed hats and the skin-tight little pants. They are no goofier than those nut...
Live Bears Game at Soldier Field--A Mixed Bag
2010-10-18 16:39:00 As the afternoon and fun wore on, my soul started to have its say and began chatting with me. Lots of insights started pouring in through the top of my head like a funnel of light had been place there. (All of this while simultaneously appreciating and enJOYing to a large extent my time at the game.) While the palpable enthusiasm, camaraderie, energy, intensity, focus, monetary outpouring, and full-out presence of those around me towards the happenings on the field was the norm and exciting in its own way, what if all of the above-mentioned were instead funneled into our many failing schools, our neighborhood war zones, our clean energy research, or our large-scale health plans?
A Bear-y Good Idea: Harry Caray's Offers Free Shuttle to Soldier Field
2010-08-19 20:26:00 Because the Cubs aren't giving those of us in Wrigleyville anything to cheer about these days, we're looking at you, Chicago Bears! Football season is underway (that was fast!) and Chicago's beloved Bears are putting together a team that will hopefully bring the Super Bowl Shuffle back into style. Despite a loss to the Chargers in the preseason opener last week, Chicago hosts its first home game of the (pre)season when the Oakland Raiders come to town for a matchup at Soldier Field this Saturday, August 21. And like a good neighbor, Harry Caray's Tavern is there... to help you tailgate. The bar is offering those with tickets a free shuttle to Soldier Field!...
Soldier Beetle
2010-08-12 12:04:00 Soldier BeetleThe soldier beetles, Cantharidae, are relatively soft-bodied, straight-sided beetles, related to the Lampyridae or firefly family, but being unable to produce light. They are cosmopolitan in distribution. One common British species is bright red, reminding people of the red coats of soldiers, hence the common name. A secondary common name is leatherwing, obtained from the texture of the wing covers.
MMA in the US Military: Soldier Survival Training
2010-07-25 21:11:00 Recent news on the war in the Middle East is that General David Petraeus, the new US Commander in Afghanistan is abandoning the previous strategy created by General Stanley McChrystal, who was recently dismissed. Gen Petraeus' plan involves a far more comprehensive counter-insurgency campaign, involving more troops and integrating American efforts with the local militias. With hopes of forming more local defense militias and gaining the confidence of the people of Afghanistan, the new strategy does not bring American soldiers home any sooner. The new game plan is intended to help bring a more peaceful approach to the war against terrorism without propagating more damaging sentiments of America that haunt our worldwide reputation, particularly in countries throughout the Middle...

Want to Learn How to Be a Soldier of Christ?
2010-06-08 17:42:00 Listen to Him. People don't listen to the Lord. They can read the gospels and never come out with the impact they should.Jesus was no wimp. He taught His disciples as fast as He could, with the time He had to work with.Note His reaction when the man brought his son to Jesus, because of fits, saying that His disciples tried to heal him with no results. Did Jesus immediately heal the boy? Not until He admonished His disciples and saying 'Vile of faithless generation' and 'how long shall I tarry with you'. That doesn't sound like much patience to me. It sounds like One who was running out of time and trying so hard, to get something across to them.And what were His last Words on this earth? "Go ye therefore...." That, my friends, was a command from our leader and Master.So how can you learn to follow Jesus, the way that He expected? Read the gospels and then read them again. When you are finished, start over and read it again and again and again until at last, your brain opens up...

Dead Flat Last: The Story of My Soldier Field 10 Miler
2010-05-27 04:50:00 This weekend marks the 7th annual running of the Soldier Field 10 Miler, a ten-mile road race that starts, and ends, at Chicago's Soldier Field. Specifically, it starts outside the gates on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend each year, and allows participants to finish on the 50 yard line. Every participant, save one, will not finish last. But one year, I held the honor of being Dead Flat Last. And it's probably not the story you'd expect.
my goal for the soldier field 10 mile...
2010-05-25 14:50:00 After posting yesterday I emailed Coach Jen to talk about a goal for the Soldier Field 10 Mile on Saturday. I asked Coach Jen what she thought, she in turn replied and asked what I thought my stretch goal was, or my BHAG (big hairy audacious goal) as I like to call it.I thought about it for a few minutes and replied...an 11:00 pace, faster than any of my training runs and faster than my Shamrock Shuffle pace. That'd put my goal at 1:50:00. Coach Jen did say that if we have heat and humidity like Sunday and yesterday we'd revisit, but as it stands now...that's the goal....

Black History Homework: A Soldier's Story
2010-02-04 02:18:00 Oh, is it already the 3rd day of February aka Black History Month? I must have forgotten because we're living in post-racial America. Dammit, I forgot I was black until I saw my photo in the corner of this screen.Just ask old Chris Matthews who last week experienced mild racial amnesia and didn't realize that President Barack Obama was black. (AP Photo/Carlos Osorio)Yeah, I'm still laughing.I wish we were there, but we haven't really reached post-racial America though we've made great strides. I no more listen to the constant race-baiters than I do the crazies who think that anyone of color is "whining" when they express any opinion on matters of race.And in the spirit of that thinking, I still...

Why isn't Soldier Field a fitting place for a Walter Payton statue?
2009-09-16 16:04:00 Fred Mitchell writes on chicagotribune.com that the family of Walter Payton has been rebuffed in its efforts to donate a statue of him for display outside Soldier Field. They said the Chicago Park District told them that Soldier Field and the surrounding area is to be preserved strictly as a memorial to war veterans. If there was a statue of a World War I doughboy outside Soldier Field, a statue of a football player alongside would seem inappropriate. But it's the edifice itself that's a lasting war memorial, the columns in particular. That's all they preserved when Soldier Field was rebuilt. I can't fathom any objection to honoring a man who was the face of Chicago Bears football for the better part...
Should Walter Payton get a statue at Soldier Field?
2009-09-16 08:19:00 It's a question that seems almost silly to ask: Should a statue of Walter Payton be erected outside Soldier Field? (Chicago Tribune) Good Lord, of course. He's the greatest player in Bears history, maybe in NFL history, and was beloved off the field as well as on. This is the no-brainer of no-brainers. Except it's not. The Chicago Park District doesn't want it to happen because, according to the Chicago Tribune, "Soldier Field and the area surrounding it is to be preserved strictly as a memorial to war veterans." Well, that makes perfect sense. Football is war-like, but it's not war. And to mix fake war with those who fought in real wars is beyond insensitive. Vote in the poll...

Even though I was really ill, I forced myself to go and place flowers at his grave site as I've made it a habit to visit him on Memorial Day each year. He fought in World War II. But this time, I took my biological father's burial flag with me. Both my father and stepfather died in 2005. To some who are anti-war, the title of this video-blog will upset them. It should not. I'm against war and always have been, but the reality of my life is that both my late father and stepfather fought in World War II, and in my father's case, Zenophon Abraham of is his name (he lives in Chicago), I am the proud owner of his neatly folded burial flag and two bullets wrapped in them. I've never unraveled it. Chester Harding Yerger III of Oakland is my late stepfather and h...
