Animal Shelter
In Warner Robins, Georgia Needs Help
|
|
I myself am an animal lover and always have been. Each week I will
be visiting the animal shelter and taking pics of the pets for
adoption. I did several shoots today of them and it just broke my
heart to see them so desperate waiting for loving, caring homes.
If you
are in need of a pet please stop by or call the Animal Control Office and
ask to speak to Vicky for adoption at 478-929-7280. I am totally
donating free space and my time to these babies, won't you please help.
To donate just
$1.00 for their care please click here to visit a web page specifically
for these pets. Also included are more pictures of the pets for
adoption. Please help!
Click
here for more info and donation/pictures!

Still devastated
Two years after the tsunami devastated
parts of South Asia, the recovery effort for people displaced by
the disaster continues, as these pictures provided by the UN
childrens' fund, Unicef, show.
In India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands,
the tsunami wiped out water supply systems and contaminated
groundwater with seawater. Trucking water inland to where
families had fled was impossible because of washed away roads
and fallen palm trees.
Andaman photos by Pablo Bartholomew.

Funny and Useful Military Warnings
Here are some funny quotations from certain people and Army
hand books. Funny :)
"Aim towards the Enemy."
- Instruction printed on US Rocket Launcher
"When the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is not our
friend."
- U.S. Army
"Cluster bombing from B-52s is very, very accurate. The
bombs are guaranteed to always hit the ground."
- U.S.A.F. Ammo Troop
"If the enemy is in range, so are you."
- Infantry Journal
"A slipping gear could let your M203 grenade launcher
fire when you least expect it. That would make you quite
unpopular in what's left of your unit."
- Army's magazine of preventive maintenance.
"It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the
area you just bombed."
- U.S. Air Force Manual
"Try to look unimportant; they may be low on ammo."
- Infantry Journal
"Tracers work both ways."
- U.S. Army Ordnance
"Five-second fuses only last three seconds."
- Infantry Journal
"Bravery is being the only one who knows you're
afraid."
- Col. David Hackworth
"If your attack is going too well, you're probably
walking into an ambush."
- Infantry Journal
"No combat-ready unit has ever passed inspection."
- Joe Gay
"Any ship can be a minesweeper ... once."
- Anon
"Never tell the Platoon Sergeant you have nothing to
do."
- Unknown Army Recruit
"Don't draw fire; it irritates the people around
you."
- Your Buddies
(And lastly) "If you see a bomb technician running, try
to keep up with him."
-- U.S.A. Ammo

This
page is dedicated to the men and women who have served or are currently serving
in the Armed Forces of The United States of America. No fifties web site would
be complete without a mention of these Veterans, primarily WW II Veterans who
without them the 1950's might have had a entirely different outcome. These men
and women fought and suffered gravely, men like my husband, men who were not
career soldiers but simply freedom loving individuals who saw the threat and
answered the call to arms.

Such
has been the case throughout American History.

Freedom
is never easy or free. Many have accepted the responsibility and suffered and
died to preserve a way of life like no other on the face of the world. This then
is a reflection and remembrance of the brave souls who have insured that the
Stars and Stripes may proudly fly over the Land of the Free, as a symbol to all
freedom loving people everywhere.

"No
event in American history is more misunderstood than the Vietnam War. It was
misreported then, and it is misremembered now. Rarely have so many people been
so wrong about so much. Never have the consequences of their
misunderstanding been so tragic."
~Nixon

|
Throughout
my travels on the Internet I have run across many Military and Patriotic sites.
Nowhere is the feeling of patriotism more alive then here. I'm not sure why that
is, maybe it's because it's easy to link like minded souls on the internet. I
have listed several sites! One of
these sites is
Laura's
Veterans for a Change.
Laura teaches kids and spearheads others to teach
kids what it means to be a Veteran and what a Veteran is. This is something that
can be done right now today.
|
|
"What
it means to me to be a Veteran
and an American.
The first thing you need to know is that a soldier does not go to war because he
likes to fight.
He goes to make sure peace and freedom remain.
People have always desired peace and freedom.
Some desire control and power.
A soldier is a representative of those who
desire peace and freedom.
A soldier's job is to insure that peace and freedom prevail.
Being a Veteran means to me that I have honored those who were with me,
those who have gone before me,
and those who will follow me.
Freedom is never easy or free, there are many who would like freedom to end.
A soldier's job to make sure this doesn't happen.
The desire for freedom is so strong in most people that they would struggle,
suffer and die fighting for it.
This is what makes a Veteran special.
He has accepted the responsibility and the
struggle to secure the freedom for all.
The next time you see the flag of the United States of America,
think of the men and women who have struggled, suffered and died
to make sure it continues to fly.
A symbol of freedom for all people everywhere.
God Bless you all and God Bless America!"
(Don Dean, Vietnam Veteran Aug 1997)

The Price of The
Vietnam Conflict:
8,744,000 Americans served in the four branches of the U.S. Military during
the main period of hostilities 1964-1973, which makes the Vietnam war second
only to World War II in number of personnel involved.
Typical tour of rotation was one year.
The average age of U.S. combat personnel was 19 compared to 26 in
World War II.
15,000,000 eligible American youth avoided the draft by gaining student or
other deferments.
An estimated 250,000 simply didn't register for the draft.
1,000,00 committed draft offenses.
25,00 were indicted for draft-related charges.
Only 3,250 spend any time in prison.
The U.S. military lost 47,253 in combat and another 10,449 died in Vietnam.
There were 313,616 wounded, of whom 153,300 were classified as seriously
wounded.
76 percent of all personnel in Vietnam were targets of enemy mortars or
rockets.
56 percent witnessed their comrades being killed or wounded.
Due to use of helicopters for evacuation 82 percent of those seriously
wounded were saved (compared to 71 percent in World War II and 74 percent in
Korea).
2.6 percent of those who reached hospitals died.
10,000 lost at least one limb (more then all those in WW II and Korea
combined) due to use of enemy bobby traps, mines, and other guerrilla tactics.
81 were killed in Laos and Cambodia.
South Vietnam reported 185,528 of it personnel killed and 499,026 wounded.
North Vietnam reportedly lost 924,048.
Vietnam is estimated to have had 415,000 civilians killed and 935,000
wounded.
South Korea lost 4,407 combat troops.
Australia lost 475.
1,340 Americans were listed as missing in action when the war ended. Most
are still listed as MIA.
Roughly $150 billion in direct costs and twice that in indirect expenses.
On the average day, US artillery expended 10,000 rounds at $100 a round.
Typical sortie by a B-52 cost $30,000 in bombs alone. There were hundreds
of sorties.
4,865 US helicopers were lost at $250,000 each.
3,720 other aircraft were destroyed.
Total tonnage of bombs dropped was 8 million, four times what was used in
all of WW II.
2,236,000 tons of bombs were dropped on infiltration routes in Laos between
1965-1971
