- Details
- By Rollis Smith
Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 36, 16th Regiment South Carolina Volunteers inaugurated an Essay Contest this year open to Cadets chosen by their Instructors to receive the H. L. Hunley Medal. Cadet Detron Burdine, Southside High School Air Force JROTC, won this year’s scholarship. Cadet Burdine’s entry is a credit to himself, his school, and his JROTC unit. It also reflects highly on his JROTC Instructors, Major Joseph E. Windley, USAF (Ret), Senior Master Sergeant Kathleen Hodge, USAF (Ret), and Master Sergeant Kenneth Gause, USAF (Ret) whose countless hours make these programs possible. Their hard work has instilled in the Cadets an eagerness to learn, and venture where most others would not.

Frank Tooley, Korean Prisoner of War - Part 2
- Details
- By James Moore
Frank Tooley, a young man who was on the verge of turning 20 years old was stuck in the middle of a warzone looking down the barrel of a gun of his enemies. With artillery and bullets zipping overhead Tooley and two other soldiers were questioned about where the rest of the men were. There was a sense of calm that Tooley really couldn’t understand. He never thought that when he was in combat he wouldn’t be scared. He often wonders if the government put something in the food that would allow soldiers to not mentally tear down and be overcome with fear.
That day, on the mountain, all of the men in his company were either captured or killed except one man. After all of the men were captured the marching started. During the day time they would hide and at night they would march.
Frank Tooley, Korean Prisoner of War

- By James Moore
For a 19 year old barefoot cotton farm worker turned curb hopper from the farm country of Greenville County, the North Korean invasion of South Korea meant only one thing; a trip abroad was inevitable. Frank Tooley, who had already been drafted, knew that it was only a matter of time before Uncle Sam came and asked for his service in the American military intervention. Knowing that if he was drafted the Army would send him where he was needed, Tooley felt that it would be best if he joined on his own free will. Curious about whether he would pass the physical or not, Tooley joined his brother and some friends as they went to visit the doctor.

Serious Concerns Regarding Downgrade of Force Structure Prompts Congressional Action
South Carolina Republican Congressman Joe Wilson, a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, has announced that “serious concerns have been brought to light regarding proposed changes to Army force structure, especially the proposed Army Aviation restructuring plan.”
In order to attempt to head off a major national defense shortcoming, Wilson and a group of 16 bipartisan co-sponsors have introduced H. R. 3930, the National Commission on the Structure of the Army Act of 2014. The commission would recommend necessary force structures to meet future military force structure needs of the nation.
