Thank you, John! This story, and others like it, should be told to the children of America in order for them to have real heroes. A former North Carolina newspaper writer named Henry King in Randolph County published a book in 2003 entitled, "Hooray for Heroines - Tar Heel women who faced the enemy and made the enemy blink," which you might be interested in, inasmuch as you are a North Carolinian. Believe the author is still alive and living in the County.

If you visit the North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro, NC, it's available in a little book store called "Daniel's Read-A-Lot." Don't know about other places, but it's a delightful book of stories about real women whose heroism is/was notable, and includes some famous ones, such as the wife of James Madison, and many other revolutionary figures. King is a great historian and entertaining story teller.

Nice piece of writing, Congressman.

My comment is that celebrities exist only in journalism. If you aren't paying attention to journalism, then for you their celebrity doesn't exist.

And journalists are celebrities just as Lindsey Lohan is a celebrity. Each individual journalist has to stay in the herd to remain a celebrity.

I enjoyed it very much. (It was included in my Grasstops USA daily email.)

“Aww, maaannn, I’m gonna go to jail for three days! *sob* *sniff*”

And another thing:

I think that Lindsey’s cute, but I’d only date her if she had a lobotomy first.

RIP, Mrs. Murphy.
