Effective today, I'm going to be concluding my posts regarding our Aggie war heroes and the history found in the Longhorns, Aggielands and The Battalion.
This journey really began for me years ago, flipping through my father's 1957 and 1958 Aggielands. I spent so many hours reliving the legends of Bear Bryant and John David Crow, the elegance of Vanity Fair, and the unmatched spirit of the Bonfire. To me, those pages weren't just old photos; they were history of the A&M College.
My class occupies a unique spot in history, as I feel a closer kinship with the Class of 1947 than I do with the Class of 2027. I was part of an era where we still had the privilege of walking alongside the men of the '40s through the '70s. They would come visit us at Dorm 9 and 11, and we would catch up at A&M Club meetings and band reunions.
I've reached a point where I feel it's best to close those yearbooks and let these stories rest. It has been an honor to share this heritage and keep the spirit of those Aggies alive for a little while longer.

I am from a similar time frame, Class of '89, but was not in the Corps, so my interaction with these older Ags was limited. Your posts have given me a deeper insight into A&M's history and for those who came before me to make the University what it would become.

Today marks the 155th anniversary of the official grand opening of the Waco suspension bridge. When the bridge was completed, it was the the longest single span suspension bridge the world had ever seen. There was a huge celebration when the bridge opened. The bridge ---- which still stands ----- was considered an architectural marvel and the financing and building of it was so difficult that other Texas cities were quite impressed with the merchants in Waco who had succeeded in getting the bridge built. The San Antonio Express newspaper proclaimed, "All honor to Waco! She is leading all the inland cities with enterprise and prosperity!"
The bridge was indeed a a spectacular engineering feat. Built at a time when most of Texas was still reeling from the Civil War and in the throes of reconstruction, it is impressive even to this day. The main span stretches 475 feet across the Brazos and the roadway was so wide that two stagecoaches could pass each other going in opposite directions. No other bridge in the state for years could compete with it in terms of beauty and size.
The suspension span operated as a toll road for 19 years, until 1889. It was under the ownership of the Waco Bridge Company during that time, after which it was purchased by McLennan County. The County then turned it over to the City of Waco for operation as a free public bridge. The last car crossed it in 1971, when it was retired, at least in terms of vehicular traffic. It has been restored/fixed up several times over the last 145 years, and looks to be good to go for another century at least.

It's January 8th, and on this day, it is the feast day of Our Lady of Prompt Succor, who is the patroness of Louisiana and intercessor for the Battle of New Orleans.While you will likely find this battle in school history books, you will not likely find Our Lady of Prompt Succor written within its paragraphs.However, even Protestant President Andrew Jackson would tell you, you should.So why is that the case?Let's find out.To understand today's feast day, we are going to need to begin with some American history.July 4th, 1776 is a date any US citizen is familiar with, the adoption of the Declaration of Independence.But just because the US declared independence from Great Britain in 1776, that does not mean Great Britain automatically conceded to this declaration.For an additional seven years, the American Revolutionary War raged until the signing of the Treaty of Paris on September 3rd, 1783.Now you'd think that would put an end to the fighting between the United States and Great Britain, but thirty years later, the two found themselves at war again.Due to ongoing interference with American trade, the forcing of American soldiers to serve in the Royal Navy, and British support of Native American resistance against US expansion, the United States declared war on Great Britain on June 18th, 1812.The conflict became known as the War of eighteen twelve.However, fighting continued past 1812, and in September 1814, the British began a gulf campaign that, in early January eighteen fifteen, turned its attention to capturing the predominantly French Catholic port city of New Orleans.Knowing an attack just outside their city was imminent, on the eve of the Battle of New Orleans, January 7th, 1815, faithful Catholics gathered in an Ursuline convent in the French Quarter to pray through the night, imploring the intercession of Our Lady of Prompt Succor.So who is Our Lady of Prompt Succor?Well, outside of New Orleans, very few people could answer that question in 1815 because devotion to her had only begun in 1810.But to understand that story, we need to turn to some Catholic history.In 1727, about fifty years after the Louisiana territory was claimed for France, Ursuline nuns arrived in Louisiana to establish a convent and school.The all-girls school, Ursuline Academy, is still in operation today.In 1800, however, there were growing fears over France's anti-Catholic French Revolution, which had imprisoned, exiled, and guillotined tens of thousands of French clergy and religious sisters in mainland France.Because of this, many French sisters living in the Louisiana territory fled to Havana, Cuba.Heavily short staffed, the remaining sisters in Louisiana pushed through with their mission, and in 1803, they were shocked with the news that France had struck a deal with the United States selling them the Louisiana territory to fund their massively expensive revolution.So now no longer fearful of anti-Catholic French control, the now United States sisters immediately wrote to their French counterparts asking to send new sisters to help save their struggling school and convent.Responding to the request, Mother Saint Michel, a cousin of Mother Saint Andre, who sent the appeal, approached her bishop requesting a transfer of sisters.The bishop, who had recently lost so many religious from his diocese due to the revolution, was hesitant but said it was up to the Pope.Now this response certainly seemed like a dead end because at the time, the pope, Pope Pius the Seventh, had been taken prisoner by none other than Napoleon.This meant that even if Mother Saint Michel managed to get a letter into the imprisoned hands of the Pope, it was unlikely that a reply would ever make its way all the way back to her.But she knew she had to at least try, so after composing a letter on March 9th, Mother Saint Michel sent the letter off praying, Oh most Blessed Virgin Mary, if you obtain for me a prompt and favorable answer to this letter, I promise to have you honored in New Orleans under the title of Our Lady of Prompt Succor.Well, a prompt six weeks later, on April 9th, a letter arrived from the Pope granting her request.I know six weeks doesn't sound very quick, but consider the circumstances.Okay?Well, true to her promise, before boarding a ship to New Orleans, Mother Saint Michel commissioned a statue of Our Lady of Prompt Succor with flowing robes denoting her quick movement.When Mother Saint Michel arrived in New Orleans on December 31st, 1810, the statue was with her.Over the next five years, devotion to Our Lady of Prompt Succor grew in Louisiana, partly spurred on by her miraculous intercession during a catastrophic fire in 1812.So between the miraculous letter and the fire, it should come as no surprise that on the eve of an important impending battle, the faithful gathered by Our Lady of Prompt Succor's side, begging her intercession once again.The next morning on January 8th, 1815, following the all-night vigil of prayer in the Ursuline Convent, outnumbered US troops led by General Andrew Jackson, future President Andrew Jackson, were confronted by British soldiers.As the battle began, a dense fog descended, disorienting the attackers.And between that and the vast swamps of the bayou, within a prompt thirty minutes, the battle was over.The US had won.The gulf campaign was over, and future President Andrew Jackson, though a Protestant, personally thanked the Ursuline sisters for leading the spiritual charge.To this day, Masses in honor of Our Lady of Prompt Succor are celebrated in and around New Orleans on the anniversary of the Battle of New Orleans on January 8th, which in 1851 became the official feast day of Our Lady of Prompt Succor.So next time you have a request that needs to be attended to posthaste, remember Our Lady who guided a letter to and from an imprisoned Pope in six weeks and resolved a battle in thirty minutes.Thanks for joining me today on Hallowed Be Thy Day.
The day of Our Lady and the king as well, not the Big Guy, Happy Birthday Elvis

101st Airborne Paratrooper PFC Alexander "Alex" Penkala Jr was killed in Action outside of Foy, Belgium on January 10, 1945, he was 20 years old…
Alexander Mike "Alex" Penkala Jr was born on August 31, 1924 in Niles, Michigan to Aloysius "Alex" and Mary Kinski Penkala, both immigrants from Poland.
He had eleven siblings, their mother Mary passed away during childbirth in 1928, and Penkala was raised by an older sister.
He dropped out of high school and was working as a cook when he was drafted into the Army on February 27, 1942, volunteering for the paratroopers.
Penkala served with Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, and participated in the Normandy Invasion on DDay and Operation Market Garden.
PFC Alexander "Alex" Penkala Jr was killed on January 10, 1945 along with his buddy; SGT Warren "Skip" Muck when a German artillery round hit their foxhole outside of Foy, Belgium.
He is buried at the Luxembourg American Cemetery and Memorial in Hamm, Luxembourg - Plot I Row 9 Grave 5.
Their story was written about in Stephen Ambrose's book "Band of Brothers", and in the subsequent 2001 miniseries where Penkala was portrayed by actor Tim Matthews.

On January 12, 1888, a devastating Arctic cold front known as the Schoolchildren's Blizzard (or the Children's Blizzard) swept across the Northern Plains, claiming an estimated 235 lives. The disaster was uniquely tragic because it followed an unseasonably warm morning that had "lulled" many residents into leaving their homes without winter gear. When the storm hit in the mid-afternoon, precisely as rural schools were dismissing, temperatures plummeted as much as 100 degrees in 24 hours, and 60 mph winds created total whiteout conditions. While the most severe impacts and deaths occurred in the Dakota Territory, Nebraska, and Minnesota, the frigid front was powerful enough to reach as far south as Texas, where it caused the Colorado River to freeze over. The event remains a somber landmark in American history, leading to the 1890 creation of the U.S. Weather Bureau to provide better storm warnings.

There's a re-enactment this am, if anyone happens to be there, on the 245th anniversary.
From January 17 to 21, the Germans marched approximately 56 thousand prisoners out of Auschwitz and its sub-camps in evacuation columns mostly heading west, through Upper and Lower Silesia. Two days later, they evacuated 2 thousand prisoners by train from the sub-camps in witochowice and Siemianowice. The main evacuation routes led to Wodzisaw Slski and Gliwice, where the many evacuation columns were merged into rail transports. From the sub-camp in Jaworzno, 3,200 prisoners made one of the longest marches250 km. to Gross-Rosen Concentration Camp in Lower Silesia.
