Henry Staggers Jr.
10 years ago, chaos was all around me. Marines to my front, Marines to my right, my left and Marines to the rear. The flood gates to hell had been opened in this one little town. Bullets were flying like fireworks and bouncing off the ground in front and off the walls to the sides. Keep moving. In five more hours, every inch of Fallujah would be dominated by a United States Marine. A body here, a body there, the yell for a Corpsman up ahead. Press on. Keep moving. Bullets skip the ground in front of you from a machine gun as you sprint across an open area. Do you speed up or slow down? I’ll never know how you miss an LAV with an RPG, but it took me off my feet. Quick pat-down complete. Time to move on. I could go on for days about my time in Fallujah, as could many others. This hour, this day. It was real, yet like a dream. To all my brothers who stood beside me, I THANK YOU! It is an experience and an honor I will never forget, never regret and always hold close. To my fallen comrades, the true heroes, this one’s for you. I raise a glass in your honor and look forward to the day we meet again. Semper Fidelis, Jamie Glover
Thank You to all who served We urge you to take a moment to reflect upon and appreciate those who fought for the rights and freedoms we all enjoy in this country. The right to choose our leaders. Freedom of speech. Freedom of religion. Those, along with many others, is what makes our country the greatest in the world.

Carolina Arthritis Center is an independent rheumatology practice. With the ever changing healthcare environment and the newer Accountable Care Organizations (ACO), patients may feel limited to see specific doctors recommended by their providers and plans, which is incorrect. At Carolina Arthritis Center, we accept self-referrals from patients for initial consultations and second opinions. We trust our reputation and expertise will encourage you to select our practice for your rheumatologic care.

Grounded by a practical lesson, these stories were sometimes told with libation in hand, and came out as semi-tall tales, but always maintained a real and sober point of consideration. Ultimately, as Lange explains, his novel attempts to make the best sense of the realities of the Korean War and possibilities created by disparate tellings of his grandfather’s stories from his service there. A central theme of the narrative is that somewhere between fact, fiction, and hangar flying, is the truth. “To research this novel, I wrote down all of the war stories my grandfather told me, about being a pilot in two wars, about flying in Korea and Japan,” shared Lange. “Then, I interviewed every living relative who might have heard some of those same stories from him. The neatest thing about all of this oral history is that none of the stories completely matched. They were all slightly distinctive, but were shared with the same accuracy and conviction that I myself recalled. So, maybe we all remember my grandpa’s stories correctly, but it was he

history. “Hangar Flying: Reflections on War and Baseball” is a rich, wartime tapestry, woven from the memoirs and anecdotes of family members both real and imagined. Struggling to grapple with the purpose of war, and thrust into a foreign conflict zone for the second time in a decade, beleaguered American servicemen found a familiar solace playing baseball with their Korean counterparts in their spare time. Despite language and cultural barriers, both sides soon fostered a commonality and a strong bond. “The light-hearted, poignant epic takes the audience on a journey through World War II and Korean combat,” described Twiss, “where characters gain insight into culture and personal humanity through a shared international touchstone of baseball.” An amalgam of fact and fiction, this story takes one other element into consideration of its development: hangar flying. In its most basic description, “hangar flying” is a form of story telling. Seasoned pilots passed down larger-than-life accounts of battle to young aviators still new to combat.

Imagine for a moment that something as simple as the game of baseball could become a cure for conflict. While that notion might seem a bit far-fetched to many, baseball plays a big role in helping bridge the gap between divergent cultures in world wars, and right here at home. That notion is explored in “Hangar Flying: Reflections on War and Baseball,” a new and original play adapted by Theatre at Barton from the historical novel by associate professor of art at Barton, Gérard Carl Lange. This production, directed by Adam Twiss, director of Theatre at Barton, opens to the public on Thursday, Nov. 13, in Kennedy Family Theatre on the campus of Barton College. Evening performances begin at 7:30 p.m. Thursday – Saturday, and conclude with a Sunday matinee at 3 p.m. An invitation-only preview will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 12. The inspiration for this original theatrical show comes from a very personal source. In his novel, which is in the final stages of completion, Lange draws upon intimate family ties and a lifelong curiosity for
