Good article regarding Vinson; however, it completely ignores his segregationist and white supremacist past, as largely does his biographer. I've read parts of it, and find it lacking in balance, as is this article. There is much more written about Stennis and his actions regarding race, but Vinson has unclean hands on the issue. Perhaps that's why the issue is avoided in this article. Sharing only the shiny parts does a disservice to the real history. https://lnkd.in/eEURX8X8

So, let’s take a step back in time. Now, from an outsider’s perspective, medieval England was a period of endless battles. In 1066, the Battle of Hastings established the Norman rule of William the Conqueror. Then, several centuries later, civil war broke out as the House of Lancaster and the House of York fought for control of the English throne, bringing about arrival of the Tudor Dynasty in 1485 (yes, Henry VIII and Elizabeth I). As Britons entered the 16th century, there was one weapon that reigned supreme: the longbow. But with the invention on the musket on the horizon, was its dominance about to come to an end? This is the story of how weapons were developed in medieval England, and how both innovative AND adaptive improvements resulted in warfare being changed forever. There are lessons to be learned about new product development today… Click here to read our full article on this fascinating history: https://bit.ly/3YrKcej #newproductdevelopment #medieval #medievalhistory #england #battleofhastings #weaponry #medievalengland

Flying into Oahu, the Arizona Memorial is visible from above. Recently, while visiting with my daughter, she asked about it. It's a heavy conversation to have with a 7-year-old, especially since she is in a Japanese immersion program at school. Today, we lit a candle in remembrance of all those who were lost on that day.
