Silver Star.




JOURNAL ARCHIVE:


This scene of the Priestess performing some kind of ritual for their minds reminds me of a letter I mailed sometime in 2003. I guess that was the second half of 2003. Can't remember for certain. I do remember that I was living in that apartment in Redmond and that I mailed the letter in 2003. I wrote a letter to the Chief of Naval Operations and sent it to some kind of special projects department with several details in the letter and one was about writing a program for the UNIVAC fire-control computers on the USS Wainwright CG-28 that would transfer that memory of one active fire-control computer to another fire-control computer that could load the fire-control solution program because of what ever failure that had happened at a time when the fire-control computer was needed to control the missile weapons systems that would fend off an attack from hostile forces.

Silver Star

The Silver Star is the third-highest military decoration that can be awarded to a member of any branch of the United States armed forces for valor in the face of the enemy.

The Silver Star is awarded for gallantry in action against an enemy of the United States not justifying one of the two higher awards - the service crosses (Distinguished Service Cross, the Navy Cross, or the Air Force Cross), the second-highest military decoration, or the Medal of Honor, the highest decoration. The Silver Star may be awarded to any person who, while serving in any capacity with the armed forces, distinguishes himself or herself by extraordinary heroism involving one of the following actions:

In action against an enemy of the United States

While engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force





http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combat_Action_Ribbon

Combat Action Ribbon

The Combat Action Ribbon (CAR) is a personal military decoration of the United States Navy, United States Marine Corps, and United States Coast Guard which is awarded to those who, in any grade including and below that of a Captain in the Navy and Coast Guard (or Colonel in the Marine Corps), have actively participated in ground or surface combat.

Additional awards of the Combat Action Ribbon are denoted by gold and silver award stars.



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Award_star

Award star

An award star is a decoration issued to personnel of the United States Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard in lieu of multiple awards of the same award. An award star is very similar to an oak leaf cluster, which serves the same purpose in the United States Army and United States Air Force. Award stars are sometimes referred to as Gold Stars and Silver Stars (not to be confused with the Silver Star Medal).

Award stars are issued in two degrees, gold and silver, with silver considered the higher degree as is the tradition in the U.S. military. An award star is issued in lieu of multiple awards of the same decoration with the first award star issued for the second award of the decoration. For instance, if a service member received three Achievement Medals, their service record would reflect the Achievement Medal with two gold award stars.

Nazi propaganda

Propaganda, the coordinated attempt to influence public opinion through the use of media, was skillfully used by the Nazi Party in the years leading up to and during Adolf Hitler's leadership of Germany (1933–1945). Nazi propaganda provided a crucial instrument for acquiring and maintaining power, and for the implementation of their policies, including the pursuit of total war and the extermination of millions of people in the Holocaust.

Chuffed! A party for steam's 40th anniversary

Publication: Yorkshire Post Publish date: May 10, 2008

THE official end of steam traction on Britain's railways is to be celebrated later this month - with events based on people's memories.

The National Railway Museum in York was inundated after appealing for recollections.

And, two railwaymen who played key roles have already been reunited.

Raymond Watton, 67, was a fireman on the 15 Guinea Special, the last British Railways steam-hauled train - on August 11, 1968 - while Frank Watson, 72, was a footplate inspector on the chosen locomotive, the Oliver Cromwell.

Memorable quotes for

Escape from L.A. (1996)


Cuervo Jones: That looks like Snake Plissken!

Utopia: Who?

Cuervo Jones: He used to be a gunfighter. He kind of faded out of the scene a few years ago. I hear he slowed down some.

Utopia: He don't look that slow Cuervo!

Cuervo Jones: Nobody rolls into town and direspects me! Not Snake Plissken, not nobody!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironman_Triathlon

Ironman Triathlon

An Ironman Triathlon is one of a series of long-distance triathlon races organized by the World Triathlon Corporation (WTC) consisting of a 2.4 miles (3.86 km) swim, a 112 miles (180.25 km) bike and a marathon (26 miles 385 yards, 42.195 km) run, raced in that order and without a break. All Ironman events have a strict time limit of 17 hours to complete the race. The Ironman race starts at 7 AM. The mandatory swim cut off for the 2.4 mile swim is 2 hours 20 minutes. The bike cut off time is 5:30 PM. All finishers must complete their marathon by midnight.

The Ironman Triathlon, or The Ironman Triathlon World Championships, or Ironman Hawaii, is both the original Ironman triathlon and the annual world championships of the event, held annually in Hawai'i since 1978, with an additional race in 1982. It was made famous by its grueling length, harsh race conditions, and television coverage.
