Patton (1970)
Quotes
Patton: [apologizing to his troops after the "slapping" incident] I can assure you that I had no intention of being either harsh or cruel in my treatment of the... soldier in question. My sole purpose was to try to restore in him some sense of appreciation of his obligations as a man and as a soldier. "If one could shame a coward," I felt, "one might help him to regain his self-respect." This was on my mind. Now, I freely admit that my method was wrong, but I hope you can understand my motive. And that you will accept this explanation... and this... apology.

George Patton
UNITED STATES GENERAL
George Patton, in full George Smith Patton, Jr., (born November 11, 1885, San Gabriel, California, U.S.—died December 21, 1945, Heidelberg, Germany), U.S. Army officer who was an outstanding practitioner of mobile tank warfare in the European and Mediterranean theatres during World War II. His strict discipline, toughness, and self-sacrifice elicited exceptional pride within his ranks, and the general was colourfully referred to as “Old Blood-and-Guts” by his men. However, his brash actions and mercurial temper led to numerous controversies during his career.

The American Presidency Project
Ronald Reagan
XL President of the United States: 1981 - 1989
Proclamation 5808—National Digestive Disease Awareness Month, 1988
May 3, 1988
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Digestive diseases rank second among all of the causes of disability due to illness in the United States, and account for one-tenth of the economic burden of illness in our land. Their social and economic impact is enormous; half of all Americans are affected by them at some time during life. More Americans are hospitalized for digestive diseases than for any other family of illness.
In recent years major advances have taken place in digestive disease research, but efforts to determine their causes and to develop ways to prevent and treat them have only begun. Knowing the impact of these diseases and of the critical need for research in this field, private, scientific, and governmental organizations have committed themselves to increasing public awareness and understanding of gastrointestinal diseases.
In recognition of the fourth anniversary of the National Digestive Disease Education Program and of the importance of all efforts to combat digestive diseases, the Congress, by House Joint Resolution 421, has designated the month of May 1988 as "National Digestive Disease Awareness Month" and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this month.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 1988 as National Digestive Disease Awareness Month. I urge the people of the United States and educational, philanthropic, scientific, medical, and health care organizations and professionals to take part in appropriate activities to encourage further research into the causes and cures of all types of digestive disorders. In Witness Whereof I have hereunto set my hand this third day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eightyeight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twelfth.
RONALD REAGAN

"Space Travel Is Boring"
Won herself a pass to some far off moon
It was second class but what's to lose
And looking out her window she could more than assume
That you can't see air or time
She's the only rocketeer in the whole damn place
They gave her a mirror so she could talk to a face
She still got plenty lonely but that's just the case
With time, time, time
Started hearing voices sometime in June
She knew she could go crazy but didn't think that soon
Now she doesn't feel lonely but she'd just as soon
Try, try, try try
Man shot to the moon
I read a paperback and want to come home soon
I'm shot to the moon
Been there a half an hour, I want to come home soon

Herbert Hoover
XXXI President of the United States: 1929 - 1933
367 - Message to the Lincoln Memorial Banquet in Spokane, Washington.
November 12, 1930
THE THOUGHT of Abraham Lincoln instinctively recurs on every occasion when the conception of healing peace following conflict is in mind. It is most fitting, therefore, that you should dedicate his statue on this day consecrated to the memory of those whose sacrifices in the World War led the way to a more enduring peace.

November 5, 2017 at 6:14 PM
I remember so vividly that day.
I have wondered many times about that specific day back in March 2004.
I remember renting a moving truck and putting my beloved Jeep Wrangler on a full trailer that I towed behind it.
I remember I was exhausted from moving out all my furniture by myself.
I had a large sectional leather sofa, a king size bed, lots of computers and stuff, and two heavy-ass tube televisions including one that I loaded last thinking it must weigh 700 pounds, among other stuff.
I remember in these past years wondering about how I moved everything on the 1st of the month, instead of the last day of February.
I worked all day moving that stuff and I remember driving through the night from Redmond near Seattle all the way across the state to Spokane

from my journal as Kerry Burgess
Tuesday, August 28, 2018 at 04:32 am (Pacific Time USA)
I wonder if that's the same day I remember graduating from United States Navy basic training in Orlando.
Must have been.
The uncertainty in my mind is because of vague memories I still have about those last days before we left.
I can still visualize that last day, had my seabag and sunglasses on and the company commander sending us off and I can visualize myself walking for the last time out the door of that barracks we had been in for 8 weeks.
I went across base to begin Basic Electricity and Electronics School for the Electronics Technician occupation rating, a rating I chose because it was one of only two ratings in the Advanced Electronics Field, along with Fire Controlman, and the ET rating required several more weeks of electronics training than FC and I found that appealing to me. Several weeks later, being completely unprepared for unhindered access to cheap alcohol, having been sheltered from alcohol and then on my own with no old woman screeching at me, with no closed door in her house I could ever escape to away from her, I let myself get kicked out of school and sent out to the fleet to work in the deck department as a non-rated sailor. Working my butt off, as since 14 years old, from my own personal initiative and with no personal role models in my past experience, I had become accustomed to regular employment, I was allowed to select a rating to aspire for and I chose the gun/missile Fire Controlman (FC) (in the last days of the Fire Control Technician Missiles (FTM) rating) and worked my way back up and my next fleet assignment was with a bunch of push-button technicians whose career track had been the same as my original aspirations with the ET rating. They went to school for several courses of instruction and were advanced to Petty Officer Third Class (E-4 paygrade after entering recruit training as E-3 paygrade) without ever working a day in the fleet. I had spent over a year - a total of 419 days to be exact - on a shakedown period for the USS Taylor FFG-50 where I had many responsibilities including being responsible for the boatswain locker, helmsman, lookout, repair locker personnel, damage control, others.
All I know for certain is my official military records tell me I was transferred from basic training by the United States Navy on Monday, July 16, 1984.
The previous Friday was the 13th.
The details I vaguely recall are about how my company, C155, finished the course of instruction several days before the other company's finished. The reason, I vaguely recall, is that several companies began the course of instruction during the same week but on different days of the week. So we started on a day before the others started and we finished a few days before the last company finished. If we started on a Monday then others started on Friday. So we finished on a Monday and they finished on a Friday. But we all graduated on the same day, which I believe was a Friday and I have reason to believe was the 13th. I can't imagine we were goofing off for over a week waiting for the other company to finish the course. K076 was the female company I remember starting with us on the same day and I think they were in the same large classroom with us for classroom instruction. I remember a vast number of sailors being on the field for graduation ceremony and my company was a large group of sailors.
The answer might be out there somewhere on the internet but I can't find it.

George Mueller (NASA)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Edwin Mueller (July 16, 1918 – October 12, 2015), was an American electrical engineer who was an associate administrator at NASA who headed the Office of Manned Space Flight from September 1963 until December 1969. Hailed as one of NASA's "most brilliant and fearless managers", he was instrumental in introducing the all-up testing philosophy for the Saturn V launch vehicle, which ensured the success of the Apollo program in landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth by the end of 1969. Mueller also played a key part in the design of Skylab, and championed the space shuttle's development, which earned him the nickname, "the father of the space shuttle."

That's Swimming Distance.
I've been trying to remember the visits I made to Ashdown in the early 1990s.
I recall the visit I made during Memorial Day 1990. I remember my Ashdown Class of 1984 high school reunion in August 1994.
So this one time I am thinking of now must have been before that visit in 1994 and after that Memorial Day 1990 visit.
I was driving my red 1990 Mazda RX-7 that time. I have been trying to remember when I bought that car. I had that car when I took out Bobbilynn to see the 1990 film "Kindergarten Cop" at the theatre in Anderson South Carolina. That movie is listed as premiering in December 1990 but I think we must have seen it in early 1991. Can't recall for certain. I might have written she was over at my duplex apartment on Wexford in Taylors South Carolina in January or February 1991. I think I wrote she was over at my place in February but I don't recall if I wrote about which year that was. I think that must have been 1991. I was driving that RX-7 then. I guess I could have bought the car in 1990. Can't recall for certain. I bought it used and I have been thinking I got it in 1991. I traded in that Honda Civic car for it.
So anyway, I was back in Ashdown sometime around then and I guess that was 1991. Could have been 1992 though. I recall that 1992 is when I moved briefly to Memphis Tennessee and was living in an apartment off Winchester in Germantown which is a suburb of Memphis. My office was close fairly close to downtown Memphis and I worked on computer terminals at the St. Jude's hospital which I seem to recall was very near downtown Memphis. I remember my last day working in that office I was playing "Gunship 2000" on a personal computer. That was a sequel to a video game where you flew combat missions in a US Army Apache gunship helicopter. So that was 1992. I remember because my employer, Ketterman's, had a 2-year maintenance contract with First Federal Savings and Loan in Greenville South Carolina. Get it? *GREEN*ville. So the contract expired and First Federal didn't renew and they awarded the maintenance contract to Universal Financial Products in Chicago. I accepted an employment offer from Ketterman's at the Memphis office and moved there. Tracie and I were dating by that time. I drove my RX-7 around Memphis for a while but I could barely afford the payments and I traded it in for a brand new 1992 Plymouth Laser car and that was in 1992. I was there in Memphis for about six weeks and then I accepted an employment offer from UFP and I moved back to Greenville to continue the same job I was working at for two years prior to that and all the bank employees, from the bank president on down to the bank tellers were all very happy that I had come back to fix their machines.
Oh yeah, and another notion I wanted to elaborate on here about the suspected gaps in my conscious memory. I have started thinking in terms of my memory being blocked by passive and active means. The passive block is the security drug. The active block is some kind of hypnosis. My suspicion about the hypnosis is the most troubling because that means I have deliberately false memories. The passive block is something that I am now thinking that I can get around. But the possibility that I have fabricated memories seems impossible to me to overcome. I mean, how can I question reality when my perception of reality is completely false. And then that got me thinking about my renowned atomic-strength sense of humor. I could have fabricated false memories in my mind because of my sense of humor.

Rocket Blasts Satellite Toward a Proper Orbit : Space: The reboost is flawlessly accomplished. Two astronauts perform mission's last planned spacewalk.
May 15, 1992 ROBERT W. STEWART TIMES STAFF WRITER
HOUSTON — The stranded communications satellite rescued by three shuttle astronauts blasted toward its proper orbit Thursday, ending a dramatic effort that in the words of NASA's top official "brought the magic back to our space program."
The 23,000-pound rocket motor clamped to the marooned Intelsat 6 by the crew of space shuttle Endeavour fired flawlessly at 10:25 a.m. PDT while both were orbiting about 230 miles over Africa, said a spokesman for the International Telecommunications Satellite Organization. The 122-nation consortium, based in Washington, owns and operates the $150-million satellite.
The reboost capped a dramatic, four-day rescue effort in which astronauts were forced to discard a specially designed, $7-million tool that failed to snag the errant satellite, and instead literally reached up and grabbed the Intelsat with their gloved hands.
Wednesday's 8-hour, 29-minute spacewalk, which includes the time astronauts spent in the shuttle airlock, was the longest in the history of the American space program.
"It was a wonderful feat," said Daniel S. Goldin, the new administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The successful rescue, Goldin argued, is an endorsement of the nation's manned space program, which has come under attack by some in Congress because of its expense. The planned space station Freedom, for example, is expected to cost between $30 billion and $40 billion through the end of the decade.
In the last planned spacewalk of the mission Thursday, Air Force Lt. Col. Thomas D. Akers, 40, and physicist Kathryn C. Thornton, 39--only the second American woman to walk in space--ventured out of the shuttle at 2:07 p.m. PDT to practice techniques that will be used in building the space station.
Their task was to assemble a package of struts, some of which were used in Wednesday's satellite rescue, into a pyramid-like structure secured in the shuttle's open cargo bay. The structure then was lifted high over the bay by the shuttle's 50-foot robot arm.
After snagging Intelsat 6 Wednesday and attaching the new booster rocket, the shuttle crew released the satellite, which was allowed to drift away. The two were more than 400 miles apart by the time Intelsat 6's rocket motor was fired Thursday. After the fiery reboost, which was visible from the shuttle, the motor separated from the satellite at 11:51 a.m. PDT, and Intelsat 6 streaked into a temporary elliptical orbit that will take it as far as 45,000 nautical miles from the Earth. By next Wednesday, the satellite is expected to settle into its stationary, geosynchronous orbit 22,300 nautical miles over the Atlantic Ocean.
When it begins operating in mid-July, the satellite will be able to simultaneously transmit 120,000 telephone calls and three television feeds. It is expected to earn more than $750 million for Intelsat over its 10-year life.
Goldin offered lavish praise for the Intelsat rescue.
"What we have done," Goldin said, "is demonstrate that humans can and should operate in space." He spoke of "brilliance of the human mind, that's able to adapt and react and do the things that machines just can't do."
"In front of the eyes of the world, they performed the impossible. . . . Yesterday brought the magic back to our space program."
At Intelsat headquarters, consortium Vice President Pierre Madon said: "Clearly, this is a magnificent day for both Intelsat and NASA. . . . I offer my hearty congratulations to the crew of Endeavour and NASA for a job well done."
Even as Goldin was congratulating the seven Endeavour astronauts and flight controllers at the Johnson Space Center for the rescue, NASA engineers were searching for lessons in the trouble-plagued mission, which is to end Saturday with a scheduled 1:57 p.m. PDT landing at Edwards Air Force Base in California.
"One of the preliminary factors we're learning about is how to do better simulations on the ground," Goldin said Thursday.

Vox: There was one Eloi who managed to escape. He told me everything. We spent years together, just talking. The conversation's a little spotty now, but I do remember. It's good to have a friend.
Alexander Hartdegen: Then you can help us find the Morlocks, find Mara.
Vox: And if the truth is so horrible, it will haunt your dreams for all time?
Alexander Hartdegen: Well, I think I'm used to that.
