Awesome artifact and thanks for sharing.

So, the last member of The Grand Army of the Republic, and it's Commander, in Washington State, Hiram Gale, died months after the Korean war had begun.

It has issues with the historic narrative - especially in the violence as that didn't happen - but it is an interesting 'homage' to the 1960s WWII films in part, and also to a rather significant event.

Operation Mincemeat or A Royal Night Out could be alternatives...

Yea, agreed. A buddy is buying a set so we are interested to see what the large optional game plays like.

Got to play two fun games yesterday

#BattleofHoth is a great addition to the Command and Colors system. Played the first two scenarios and will say I existed too many efforts trying to take out the AT-AT.

#TeraformingMars w one of the alternative boards. Good close game!

Battle of Hoth from Empire's perspective.

Teraforming Mars about 3/4s way through.

We got Interview with the Vampire - new version. Still a good movie, but not sure it follows #DirtyDancing...or maybe...

Alright, thanks for the walk back in time #HATM Family...will be watching IG posts for @herberthistory.bsky.social's dance moves! ;-)

Enjoy the week, it's probably going to be a bit on the crazy side, but hopefully there is more good on your balance sheet than bad when we get together next week.

Interesting the discussion they are having...

So, we all get a "it's all slipping away" moment in life?

Hey, @herberthistory.bsky.social, so based upon the IG post, does that mean you are going to do a post movie dance for us to watch?

"I [Lisa Houseman] wrote it. I wrote the story of the spoiled brat living in the island. I can't remember whose idea it was [to make the song] a hula." The "Hula Hana" is an earworm that does belong in the late 50s, early 60s #HATM ew.com/movies/dirty...

The untold story behind 'Hula Hana,' the most iconic number in 'Dirty Dancing'

Celebrate the 35th anniversary of 'Dirty Dancing' by revisiting Lisa Houseman's scene-stealing performance of 'Hula Hana' with the actress who played her (and co-wrote the song!), Jane Brucker.

So, this is how Johnny is going to break up with Baby per advice from Peggy...but, boy it is a rough one.

Now Johnny, don't leave a mark...remember.
