Columbus Ga, Fort Benning, area; OK, it has not come up in
discussion for awhile, but Columbus Ga is probably home to Coca
Cola. The reason for making this claim is the fact that Dr. Pemberton
lived just north of Columbus back in 1869. For those Atlanta residents who insist the soft drink home is
Atlanta, yes you are right,
perhaps more correct than the Columbus claim that I made.
I'm sure that there are folks in Columbus that will forever claim this is home to Coke. As there are folks
in Atlanta who may call us crazy for thinking it began anywhere but Atlanta. The home of Coca Cola is now
the entire world, the home of my Coke is my cooler or refrigerator. This entire post has been "much ado
about nothing." What is important is that the Historic Columbus Foundation has preserved and protected
the wonderful little structure that Dr. Pemberton once lived in. Broadway in Columbus Ga is home to
dozens of other historic homes, many of them with interesting and sometimes surprising stories.

In the Columbus Ga, Fort Benning, area, the Walker - Peters - Langdon House is located in the Historic District on Broadway. It is the oldest home in Columbus and dates back to 1828. Surprisingly it is believed to be a pre-fabricated house. Federal cottages were built during this period with the idea of the purchasers picking them up and moving them to their land. The original owner Colonel Walker sold the home to the Peters family. The Peters family moved into the house because they were worried about Indians and this cottage stood in a more populated area than their previous home.
The clap-board siding is orginal, the cedar shingles have been restored and many of the hand-blown glass window panes are also original. The Walker - Peters - Langdon House is also a museum and open for tours. Contact the Historic Columbus Foundation for more information.

Retired Colonel Rick Rescorla, served in Vietnam in 1965 and died during the terrorist attack on 9/11. Rescorla will be honored at Fort Benning, with the unveiling of a bronze statue, at 11am, Thursday, September 17th, at the National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center.

Rick Rescorla, also served as Vice President of Corporate Security for the firm of Morgan Stanley. On 9/11, he witnessed the burning of Tower 1 at the World Trade Center from his office on the 66th floor of Tower 2. Rescola ordered the evacuation of Tower 2 and his actions saved the lives of 2700 people. When he was satisfied that all of his fellow employees were safely out of harms way, Rescorla returned to the tower. Ironically, his implementation of evacuation drills and preparedness saved the lives of thousands; his heroism and sense of duty, to leave no one behind, caused his demise.

Lieutenant Rick Rescorla, served with the 7th Cavalry Regiment in Vietnam. He led a platoon of soldiers through Ia Drang Valley, where more than 200 Americans died. This heroic warrior was British, a former member of the British Army and moved to the United States in 1963 to join the U.S. Army.

The statue honoring retired Colonel Rescorla will be placed and unveiled on Heritage Walk at the National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center.

The I-Beam is being dedicated to all the Army men and women who have lost their lives, since 9/11 and to those who serve presently.

One of the very best things about Columbus Ga and Fort Benning is location. And we all know that in real estate it is all about location, location, location. Well in this case it may also hold true for entertainment.
A short drive of three to three and a half hours can get you as far as Panama City Beach Florida. Although it is has gotten a bit commercialized in the past 15 years, it can still boast one of the best beaches in the world.
An hour north will get you to Atlanta and all that it has to offer. Major League Sports, Museums, Entertainment Parks and a fantastic night life are some of the offerings.
Another couple of hours beyond Atlanta you will find Chattanooga Tennessee. Among other things you will find a world class hang gliding school. For the inexperienced Tandem flights are available. For the more down to earth types you can also enjoy Ruby Falls or Rock City and River Boat Rides.
