Description

He Charged AloneFrank Gaffney was a 33 year old papermaker from Western New York when America entered the Great War in 1917. While his age exempted him from serving in the military, Gaffney ran to the colors anyway. He fought bravely on Belgian and French battlefields as a U. S. Army soldier with the 27th Division's 108th Infantry Regiment. On September 29, 1918, Gaffney singlehandedly breached a section of Germany's Hindenburg Line, coming away with 80 prisoners.

Frank Gaffney was a 33-year-old papermaker from Western New York when America entered the Great War in 1917. While his age exempted him from serving in the military, Gaffney ran to the colors anyway. He fought bravely on Belgian and French battlefields as a U.S. Army soldier with the 27th Division's 108th Infantry Regiment. On September 29, 1918, Gaffney singlehandedly breached a section of Germany's Hindenburg Line, coming away with 80 prisoners. Six grateful nations recognized his bravery, including his own. In June 1919, the United States awarded him the Medal of Honor. Years later, the 27th Division's commanding general, Maj. Gen. John F. O'Ryan, wrote of Gaffney, "Éno one man had performed more daring exploits and had exercised a bigger influence upon those about him by the gallantry of his conduct."

In He Charged Alone, John Strasburg chronicles the life of a First World War American soldier whose bravery was once compared to that of the legendary Sergeant Alvin York. To tell the story, the author weaves together GaffneyÕs personal correspondence with military/government records, newspaper accounts, and published unit histories. Nearly fifty illustrationsÑphotographs and mapsÑaugment the narrative.

Much of the book focuses on Gaffney's military service, heroism on the battlefield, and subsequent rehabilitation from a combat injury he received in the war's closing days, but not overlooked are Gaffney's upbringing and how he managed the burden that comes with being a Medal of Honor recipient. At its core, this book memorializes a true American hero from New York State who in life was admired by people across the country but in death has been nearly forgotten. In He Charged Alone, Frank Gaffney's legacy returns to the fore, where it belongs.

Lovely dense and soft.
Color: Multi Color
Perfect toothbrush. I’ve always loved a super stiff toothbrush, it just felt right, like scrubbing the grime off. BUT, I ended up scrubbing my gums into recession. So I’ve had to buy soft toothbrushes. For years I’ve hated them. Waterpik, floss then brush and the brushing felt always felt like I wasn’t doing anything. I disliked everything about the bristles. These were bought on a whim, they’re pretty and have four which is how many I needed to replace everyone’s toothbrushes. I LOVE these. They’re definitely soft, in a way I haven’t felt before and can’t really articulate, but they’re also dense. There are a lot of bristles. The bristles feel like I’m getting my teeth very clean, like they’re getting into all the little areas they need to. The only issue I have is they squeak a little and that can be annoying.

My New Go-To for Gentle Everyday Care!
Color: White
I’ve been loving my Boka Classic Manual Toothbrush, it’s truly transformed my brushing routine! 🪥 The extra-soft, activated-charcoal-infused bristles feel so gentle yet effective, especially along the gumline. They clean thoroughly without scratching or irritating sensitive gums, which has made a noticeable difference in comfort and overall oral health.

Get Yourself A Bright White Smile
Can't belive how great this works. You can actually see the staining it removes when you expel to rinse. A bit messy to use all be it being a powder. The taste isn't bad. I believe this works better than the whitening stripe, which to me are difficult to use. Gentle on your gums and teeth. I do not recommend and do not believe the manufacture does either to use on a daily basis. A bit pricey but so are the whitening strips. For a bright white smile I recommend this product.

Easy to Use and No Bad Taste
I really like this whitening powder, it’s easy to use and fits nicely into my routine. It works well as an alternative to regular toothpaste, and the process feels simple and quick. One of the best things is that there’s no bad taste. It has a mild, clean flavor that makes it comfortable to use daily, even if you’re sensitive to strong or overpowering mint products. After using it consistently, it seems to be working my teeth look a bit brighter, and it feels gentle enough for sensitive teeth without causing discomfort. Minor note: Since it’s a powder, it can feel a little different at first compared to traditional toothpaste, but it’s easy to get used to. Overall, this is a convenient and gentle whitening option that’s easy to stick with. A great choice if you want something effective without harsh taste or sensitivity.
