Hard Times: Jane and Tom Yoder + Peggy Terry and Mary Owsley
This post really goes into depth pertaining to what it means to be an American, presented by Jane and Tom Yoder, but also displays traits that aren't fitting of an American, portrayed by Peggy Terry and her mother.

The Good War: Peggy Terry + E.B. "Sledgehammer" Sledge"
This post is interesting in that it offers two completely different views of the war. The first, from Peggy Terry, is introduced by a hillbilly, someone who lived on the home front and experienced the war much differently than Sledge did, as Sledge fought on the front lines and fought his own type of battles. Neither Peggy nor Sledge could ever understand the battles faced by the other, so this post is interesting in that sense.
