Burden of Command News
Happy V-J Day!
[h2]Hi Again Everyone!
Today marks the 75th anniversary of the surrender of Imperial Japan, which effectively ended World War II.
As many of you know, we draw great inspiration from our own family experiences in this conflict. In that spirit, we will share a few more of our personal heroes...
Meet Thomas P. Hughes and Agatha Chipley (later Hughes). They are the parents of our Project Lead, Luke Hughes.
Agatha served as a nurse during the war.
Tom served in the Pacific Theater as Lt Commander of the USS Arthur Middleton, then went on to earn a PhD in history and invent an entire field of study, the history of technology. Development of Systems Theory was a key element of his work.
He went on to become a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in History in 1990.
You can watch a great lecture he delivered at MIT on his work here.
Another team member, Craig Elliott, also remembers his father, Ed Elliott, on V-J Day. After Ed graduated from Kress High School in West Texas in 1944, he joined the Navy and served as a radioman. He served on the USS Pine Island and other seaplane tenders, one of which survived a kamikaze attack. Ed earned two Bronze Stars and served through 1946. This photo shows him shipping out in 1944, and on the back is handwritten "The Kid from Kress."
I would also like to introduce you to my grandfather, Isaac Clevenger.
Isaac served on the minesweeper, USS Token. His was the second ship to enter Tokyo Harbor.
After the war, he became a barber and settled down in Tennessee.
He went on to become one of the best grandfathers ever.
That's all for now.
You can see more about our commitment to honoring history and those who lived it here.
We'll be back soon with more game related news and goodies.
I'll see you on the high ground,
Rob
