HOOPER PROJECT: Congrats to Max Kiley for charging down the Gettysburg Hoopers from last night. Indeed, Maximus, the Rebs were led by Robert E. Lee at G-burg, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain led the 20th Maine regiment, and the last desperate charge on the third day was led by George Pickett.
Tonight, two Hoopers in honor of Veteran's Day. Three points to the first and one to each additional Comper who can tell me: (a) By what other name is November 11th commemorated every year around the world?, and (b) What is the oldest branch of the American armed services? To those about to Hooper, I salute you!
