Repost By sensei_of_history: Soldiers of the Kentucky National Guard's 1st Battalion, 623rd Field Artillery Regiment are shown in this image as they pose next to their M110 self-propelled howitzer that has a Confederate battle flag flying from it during the Persian Gulf War. Image taken in an unidentified location, but most likely either in Kuwait or Saudi Arabia. Circa early 1991. _____________________________ #persiangulfwar #1991 #persiangulf #desertstorm #unitedstates #kentucky #confederatestates #confederacy #gulfwar #iraq #iraqhistory #ushistory #war #history #warhistory #kuwait #saudiarabia #usarmy #usnationalguard #warphotography #historiansunion #united_historians #warphotos #combat #soldiers #historybuff #historynerd #stopcensoringopposingviews #youcannotcensorhistory (via #IG Capture @AppKottage) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqimH1wnZxe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dhtf01a46pi2

Yesterday was busy so today I'm posting my #morningwarmupsketch for #blackhistorymonth for 2/13. Today's person of note is #colinpowell, and this is what Wikipedia has to say about him: "An American statesman and a retired #fourstargeneral in the #UnitedStatesArmy. Powell was born in #Harlem as the son of Jamaican immigrants. During his military career, Powell also served as #NationalSecurityAdvisor (1987–1989), as #Commander of the U.S. Army Forces Command (1989) and as Chairman of the #JointChiefsofStaff (1989–1993), holding the latter position during the #PersianGulfWar. Powell was the first, and so far the only, African American to serve on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He was the 65th United States #SecretaryofState, serving under U.S. President #GeorgeWBush from 2001 to 2005, the first #AfricanAmerican to serve in that position."
