Well I can see you have to be a Republican to ride this train here. Democrats don’t stand a chance here. Well I don’t vote Republican or Democrat, I vote for the best person for the job. Looking at the Sheriff candidates, I am really leaning towards Harold Bright. He has a no nonsense approach and has stated several times he is for all people not just a party. He has 30 years of service so I think he’s he smart choice. With all the turmoil our current Sheriff has put us in, I know we need change. I see my concerns about Mr. Rogerson still haven’t been answered but the theory about him being related to other candidates is scary. Just concretes my decision even more.

I am wondering if the voters in Beaufort County are asking the same questions I am about Democrat candidate Corey Rogerson? In May of 2021 Rogerson was fired by current Sheriff Ernie Coleman. Rogerson stated that he was given no reason for his termination. Sheriff Coleman has also failed to give us all a reason. I’m sorry but if I own a business and am looking to fill a position and an individual is applying for that opening, I would want to know why a person was fired from their previous employer. I also believe if anyone is fired from any job by their boss, they know why. Rogerson’s case just doesn’t make sense.
Rogerson only worked only 2 years as a Beaufort County deputy. In that 2 years I am sure he saw corruption or unethical things in the command staff and some of the deputies. Well did you not hear me say Rogerson was also previously a deputy? Rogerson did not have a problem then with the so called wrong doings and saw first-hand the so called problems that were there. My question is why did he not say anything then? Rogerson did not say a thing until it effected his pockets. All of a sudden he wants to become our savior? I’m sorry I don’t buy it. I think Mr. Rogerson is running for Sheriff due to a vendetta against the current Sheriff not because he wants to help anyone from Beaufort County. What better way to get back at a man than to try and take his job? I did not ask these questions to belittle or cause anyone any grief. I knew if I asked these on Facebook or Mr. Rogerson directly, nobody else would hear the answers to these questions that a lot of us are asking. I pray Mr. Rogerson answers these issues honestly. I agree with some of the things Mr. Rogerson has said in his public forums but with the small amount of experience he has compared to the other candidates, I/we need more information. |

Commented On D-Day: A Time to Remember
My comment was part of a larger article not yet published on BCN. Just a quick point of clarification:
I in no way feel my experience was in any way comparable to those who stormed the beaches of Normandy or the Pacific. My comment is reflective of combat any troupes who are embarking on a dangerous and possibly deadly mission. I guess my point was that each soldier has his own individual personal Gordian Knot regardless of the number involved in the assault and each deals with it in his very own unique way. |

Commented On D-Day: A Time to Remember
Though my war was 24 years after D-day, I remember the exact feeling of flying to a landing zone in a Huey instead of a Landing Craft on the beach. The technology was different but the anxiety was most likely the same. I can only imagine the feelings of those young men in the landing craft, but I think I have some understanding of their thoughts and fears as they wait:
"There is an eerie calm that descends on young men when they wait for the disembark order. In just a few seconds, you will meet either your maker or your enemy. You are highly trained, well practiced, fully supplied, and motivated. There is no noise among the brothers to your right or left. They like you are lost in their thoughts of home, girlfriends, or whatever. I would be tempted to say that there is loneliness in the crowd, but that would not be accurate. There is a lifetime ahead if you are lucky to be lonely. There is only a sense of purpose and one final equipment check, and then they flip the switch. It is similar to stepping from total darkness into bright sunlight or stepping in to total darkness from bright sunlight. All the planning and preparation give way and you are dependent on a few eighteen to twenty year old's who you may not ever have liked in civilian life but today you put your life in their hands and vice a versa. Here you meet your destiny. The only reward for this is that you will survive to do it all over again and perhaps years later you will have the satisfaction of knowing you did your duty."

Commented On A Memorial Day Introduction: Tony Meet Eddy Schultz
Thanks, Lynne for the link to the interview. It provides a personal real time memory of Eddy during this Memorial Day season. For the readers, below is a picture of Lynne and Doc Ken Blakely who was also present at the firefight at Hoc Mon, Vietnam. Ken presently lives in Arizona but took the time to make contact with Lynne on a family visit back to California.
If you look at the link in the article showing the KIA and WIA, you will see: HHC WIA:Medic PFC Ken" "Doc" Blakely who was wounded while tending to his troopers. Ken has made it his mission to minister to his personal Band of Brothers (To Ken every veteran and relative is included in his ministry) and their relatives. Just as he did in Vietnam, he answered the call for "Medic" and provides the support 48 plus years later to all who are in need.. Here are his comments regarding his visit with Lynne: "I had the honor of visiting the niece of Ed Schultz who was more like a sister to Ed as they we close in age. Ed got killed in Hoc Mon 3-4-68 with Charlie Co as we in Delta Co fought for our lives as well. Lynne Higgins has written a book about her Uncle and tells his story in "The Box" it can be purchased at Amazon.com. A wonderful visit .. Thank you Lynne God bless you and your family. A fellow medic and friend was Ed's medic Andy Wahrenbrock..a great medic." Doc Ken  |

Commented On An update from the front
It's pretty clear that the city council is dysfunctional team. Maybe they should consider some team building exercises. Writing articles such as this, that point fingers and cast blame at the mayor, and other council members certainly don't help bring the team together. Someone needs to grow up, and instead of hurling accusations, start asking questions as to what can we do to come together and do the job we were elected to do.
