| WHAT HAPPENED TO THE WW II MOVIE STARS |
Some of you younger guys probably have not even heard of these 'old movie stars'...some contrast between these men and the anti-American movie stars of today.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE WW II MOVIE STARS
Hope you find this as informative and interesting as I did.?
In contrast to the ideals, opinions and feelings of today's 'Hollywonk,' the real actors of yester-year loved the United States . They had both class and integrity.
With the advent of World War II many of our actors went to fight rather than stand and rant against this country we all love.
They gave up their wealth, position and fame to become service men & women, many as simpl e 'enlisted men'.
This page lists but a few, but from this group of only 18 men came over 70 medals in honor of their valor, spanning from Bronze Stars, Silver Stars, Distinguish Service Cross', Purple Hearts and one Congressional Medal of Honor.

| Global Hawk UAV |
This is a photo of the Global Hawk UAV that returned from the war zone recently under its own power. (Iraq to Edwards AFB in CA) - Not transported via C5 or C17.....
Notice the mission paintings on the fuselage.
It's actually over 250 missions.... (And I would suppose 25 air medals).
That's a long way for a remotely-piloted aircraft.
Think of the technology (and the required quality of the data link to fly it remotely).
Not only that but the pilot controlled it from a nice warm control panel at Edwards AFB.
Really long legs- can stay up for almost 2 days at altitudes above 60k. The Global Hawk was controlled via satellite; it flew missions during OT&E that went from Edwards AFB to upper Alaska and back non-stop.
Basically, they come into the fight at a high mach # in mil thrust, fire their AMRAAMS, and no one ever sees them or paints with radar. There is practically no radio chatter because all the guys in the flight are tied together electronically, and can see who is targeting who, and they have AWACS direct input and 360 situational awareness from that and other sensors.
The aggressors had a morale problem before it was all over. It is to air superiority what the jet engine was to aviation.
It can taxi, take off, fly a mission, return, land and taxi on it's own. No blackouts, no fatigue, no relief tubes, no ejection seats, and best of all, no dead pilots, no POWs?

| A Command Sergeant Major's perspective OR 'The Axis of Idiots' |
RETIRED ARMY COMMAND SERGEANT MAJOR DOES NOT PULL ONE PUNCH. HE ALSO
PROVIDES AN INTERESTING REVIEW OF HISTORY AND HIS EVALUATION OF THE QUALITY OF SOME OF OUR CITIZENS IN THE CONGRESS. INTERESTINGLY HE DOES NOT MENTION POLITICAL PARTIES.

| A Soldiers poem |
The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
> I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
> My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
> My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.
> Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
> Transforming the yard to a winter delight.
> The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
> Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.
> My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
> Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
> In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
> So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.
>
> The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,
> But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.
> Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know, Then the
> sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.
> My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
> And I crept to the door just to see who was near.
> Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
> A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.

| Show Your Pride Fly A Flag by Micah Wallace |
|
We live in a world where people have forgotten their education on how to respect our flag and our country, our flag
is the symbol of our pride and honor for our country. Our Flag flies proudly to represent the sacrifices of all the men and women who gave their lives so that we can live in a free country. Through the years people have not only lost their pride for our country and our flag, but they have also forgotten how to properly care for or even how and when to flyour flag
