This one is a very tough choice.  David Deshler is my first attraction - I admit that I am very partial to American patriots, whether revolutionary, contemporary, or anything in between.  On the other hand, COL Maidment looks like there is a very interesting story just waiting to come out and be told ... with all those foreign posts.

While tragic, I can't imagine that much could be done for the profiles of the children - I think I could sooner see one or both of their parents as a candidate for special attention.

I'm just not ready to choose yet ... have to think about it some more.

Davidson children for sure.  Much is known about the others.

Answer 1

I really think the Davidson's Profiles would be an Honorable set of Profiles to do
