The Ghost Army of WWII
Everyone has heard of Generals Patton and Eisenhower, the Tuskegee Airmen, the Enola Gay, and Rosie the Riveter. But have you heard of the Twenty-Third Headquarters Special Troops? No? Don’t be surprised — up until about 20 years ago, almost no one had heard of the Ghost Army of World War II.
With a force of 1,100 brilliant, creative men, the Ghost Army’s mission was to defraud, disappoint, dupe, deceive, and decoy the enemy.

Bridges at Warwick Is Now Open
Bucks County seniors have a new alternative to assisted living: The Bridges at Warwick in Jamison. Offering personalized assisted senior care, transitional living for those with early memory loss and comprehensive memory care, the community is now open and welcoming its first residents.
Executive Director Sue Sunderland says there is no other senior living community like The Bridges at Warwick. “The Bridges at Warwick is a small, family-owned and -operated community. This means we don’t answer to a large corporate office several states away. We answer to our residents and their families – period.“
