Member: Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War

The SUVCW cooperates in doing honor to all who have patriotically served our country in any war. The Order participates with other organizations in the proper observance of Memorial Day (May 30th), which was established by the GAR in 1868, seeks out and marks the graves of Civil War veterans; observes the care and upkeep of Civil War Memorials and brings any failure to do so to the attention of the proper authorities.


Things I Do

  • John Dillinger

    I'm an avid historian of John Dillinger and have one of the most extensive digital photo collections of him. I'm not into Dillinger trivia or hero worship though I know alot about him. I go to the John Dillinger gather in Chicago (July 22nd) every year. It's fun to go to. I'm concidering hosting a Dillinger Day party of my own.

  • Death Penalty Information Center

    I met Gary Gauger in August 2008 and spent two weeks with him during his lawsuit against McHenry County, Illinois. His case changed my view point on the death penalty. I'm still in favor of it but under very differant criteria. Read his story at the link posted and you will walk away with a new idea of what it means to be wrongfully prosecuted.

    Though I don't agree totally with the Death Penalty Information Center it is worth a well read review and let you make up your own mind DPIC. 135 people have been wrongfully convicted and placed on death row but then after removed. I admit some had techicalities that I don't think meet the criteria of "wrongfully convicted" but yes many of the 135 simply were / are the wrong people with confessions from the actual killers.

  • SETI

    SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) is a scientific area whose goal is to detect intelligent life outside Earth. One approach, known as radio SETI, uses radio telescopes to listen for narrow-bandwidth radio signals from space. Such signals are not known to occur naturally, so a detection would provide evidence of extraterrestrial technology.
    I don't believe there is life out there but if we don't explore and I'm wrong, look at the missed opportunity. My profile
