The final episode of our series on the 101st Airborne in Operation Market Garden just dropped. We're visiting the site where Medal of Honor recipient Robert Cole was killed as well as his final resting place at the Netherlands American Cemetery.

We've really enjoyed putting these episodes together and sharing the history. Hope that you've enjoyed them as well!

Our series on the 101st Airborne in Operation Market Garden only has one episode left. Then we're on to new places. Got some big summer plans that we can't wait to roll out!

If you didn't catch it, here's a clip from one of the episodes in this most recent Market Garden series featuring an artifact connected to Band of Brothers.

Ron Speirs figured prominently in the book & series "Band of Brothers," but there was something really big that was left out of the HBO production that led to him receiving a Silver Star & Purple Heart. We on the ground in the Netherlands in the most recent episode of American Artifact to explore a facet of this lesser known story. Hopefully, it'll be 4 minutes and 16 seconds well spent.

In 1903, Teddy Roosevelt visited the Grand Canyon. During his visit, he is quoted as saying, "Leave it as it is. You cannot improve on it; not a bit. The ages have been at work on it, and man can only mar it. What you can do is keep it for your children, your children's children, and for all who come after you, as one of the great sights which every American if he can travel should see."

Nearly 125 years later, I have some concerns about the data centers that are popping up all over the country. Some may be familiar with the fight that the American Battlefield Trust is in right now against one that will result in the loss of parts of the Bull Run battlefield if it goes through. This video offers a possible alternative to the wrecking the countryside with data centers.

One of my many concerns with the rush to build these sprawling behemoths is that people are pursuing a short term gain that will result in a long term loss (i.e.- farm ground, natural habitats & historic places). Consider this. The phone that I’m using right now has vastly more computing power than the equipment that was used to take astronauts to the moon. 10 years ago, a 1 TB hard drive was the size of a couple of bricks. Now I can go out and buy a 4 TB SD card. What are the possibilities in just the next 10 years?

What’s depicted in this video seems like a better solution worth pursuing. I’ve seen estimates that these smaller stations could pay homeowners around $1000/month in rent. I’ve also read about possible data centers in space (which helps with the cooling issue). When the Wright brothers took their first flight in 1903, the idea of going to space was complete fantasy. 57 years later, the first man was launched into space. That is an incredible jump in technology and innovation in a very short span of time. I’m not anti-technology or anti-progress. But maybe it’s time to pump the brakes on these data centers and start working toward the better solutions that are likely just around the corner.
