Got chills, plus something is in my eyes - so many so quick to judge w/o knowing ANYTHING about what they're talking/complaining about. Let's not forget all the soldiers have parents/children/spouses/life friends. It is kinda weird that this soldiers ultimate sacrifice allows the complaining idiot to say whatever they want, facts be damned, and be OK

Last photo of Doc Holliday at the Hotel Glenwood, Glenwood Springs Colorado
John Henry "Doc" Holliday (August 14, 1851 – November 8, 1887) was an American gambler, gunfighter, and dentist. A close friend and associate of lawman Wyatt Earp, Holliday is best known for his role in the events leading up to and following the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. He developed a reputation as having killed more than a dozen men in various altercations, but modern researchers have concluded that, contrary to popular myth-making, Holliday killed only one or two men. Holliday's colorful life and character have been depicted in many books and portrayed by well-known actors in numerous movies and television series.
In 1887, prematurely gray and badly ailing, Holliday made his way to the Hotel Glenwood, near the hot springs of Glenwood Springs, Colorado. He hoped to take advantage of the reputed curative power of the waters, but the sulfurous fumes from the spring may have done his lungs more harm than good As he lay dying, Holliday is reported to have asked the nurse attending him for a shot of whiskey. When she told him no, he looked at his bootless feet, amused. The nurses said that his last words were, "This is funny."[He always figured he would be killed someday with his boots on..Holliday died at 10am on November 8, 1887. He was 36.Wyatt Earp did not learn of Holliday's death until two months afterward.
Holliday is buried in Linwood Cemetery overlooking Glenwood Springs. The exact location of his grave is uncertain.

Nathan “Nearest” Green taught Jack Daniel to make whiskey. Born into slavery near Lynchburg, TN, Nearest first perfected the charcoal filtering method that became known as the “Lincoln County Process” on the farm of Dan Call. Call was a minister who sold spirits on the side. When the Civil War brought freedom to “Uncle Nearest,” he decided to continue making whiskey on the Call Farm. It was there he began to teach a young Jack Daniel the craft. When Daniel started a distillery of his own, Nearest worked as his head stiller – the first African-American master distiller on record in the United Sates. He became the wealthiest black man in Lynchburg and one of the wealthiest men in the area overall. A number of Green’s descendants went on to make whiskey for Jack Daniel, as well. His son, George, is pictured with Daniel in the photo.

While Uncle Nearest was well-known to folks around Lynchburg, he first became known to the rest of the world with the publication of a book, Jack Daniel’s Legacy, in 1967. Green’s trademark charcoal mellowing process – an adaptation of a water filtering method brought from Africa – is a requirement for a whiskey to be considered Tennessee Whiskey.

Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey debuted in July 2017 to critical acclaim. Inspired by the best whiskey maker the world never knew, Uncle Nearest has garnered more than 150 awards and accolades throughout the world.
