Spicheren Hoehe

First of all, I would like to remind you, the reader, of this publication's priorities:

1. All content generated during PPP abroad experience
2. Moderate interest in history and background contect relevant to theme of post
3. Not grammar
4. Not spelling

I have noticed the featured video today has plenty of errors. It takes around an hour and a half to re-upload it.  I hope you forgive me, and know that I know that I am not going to become an editor.

Photojournalism. It's the future.

Today I took a bike ride to Spicheren, a French village near Kleinblittersdorf.  We went to go check out an old US tank.  The 70th Infantry Division liberated this part of France and has a few memorials commemorating their achievements.

The area was also fought over during the Franco-Prussian War, part of the wars leading to German unification:
