If I may …
I would like to bring everyone’s attention to this page, Project Valour IT.

This is a project of the Soldier’s Angels organization.

Remember that one-half of proceeds from sales of the cookbook goes to Soldier’s Angels and the other half to LGF.

BUY A COOKBOOK!

Intercepted device likely a cell phone, photo analysis shows

So I guess the plot was to detonate a small charge via cell phone after the package was delivered spraying radioactive goo all over the place. Probably wouldn’t kill anybody. Clean up bill of maybe $10-20,000.

Have they tried to connect this case, or was it obviously metal fatigue?

A 1-foot-by-2-foot hole was found in the fuselage of a commercial airliner that suddenly lost cabin pressure shortly after taking off from Miami, authorities said.

[…]

The plane has been taken out of service, he said. [Geez, I would hope so…]

I’m not sure if there’s a connection. I’m sure they’re looking into it.

Not really a lot of info.

That was in your linked article.

[Update 7:27 p.m.] Saudi Arabia gave the U.S. tracking numbers of two packages abroad that apparently contained explosive material, a source with firsthand knowledge of the situation told CNN Friday.

18 Wozza Matter?  Fri, Oct 29, 2010 6:13:49pm

completely ot - (although not sure this is a topic thread)

just watched the Alan Cumming edition of the bbc documentary “Who Do you Think You Are”.

His grandfather fought the rear guard action from a Scottish highland company in France, 1940 in the ordnance corps. He then ended up on the very thick end of the Japan campaign, as did my grandfather on both counts (and all the psychological traumas that entailed).

Cumming’s grandfather went back to Malaya after being unable to settle back in the UK. It didn’t end well for him. Mine was lucky - he settled back into civillian life, and i remember him well - he spoke of France and Africa - but never the campaign against the Japanese.

I am eternally grateful for being able to spend 20 years getting to know my grandfather.

BTW look at this UFO inspired rain pattern over Fresno on radar. weird. A circular band of rain with a round center. What the heck could do that?

My grandfather fought in WWI.

He saw action at the Battle of Passchendaele. He was awarded a medal because he and others stood their ground even as the Germans brought out tanks, heretofore unknown.

My grandfather used to say there was no bravery involved- they were all just frozen in terror as they saw these loud, noisy machines coming right at them. He later fought in other battles where he saw firsthand the effects of mustard gas. His mates were hospitalized at ages 17-19.

He would visit his mates in veteran homes for decades after the war, until they were gone. Every now and them he’d rage at the ‘bloody Huns’ for using gas. He never bought anything German.

Just before he passed, my sister bought a BMW. He gently told her he would not get into her car when she came to visit. She apologized and he shushed her. He told her it was because he missed his mates.

After WW2, my grandparents took in refugees who were sponsored by the Birk’s family of Canada (Old money. They owned the Canadian equivalent of Tiffany’s).

Americans are blessed. They have never known modern era war on their soil. That said, Europe is grateful to America.

Ask any European of a certain age what hope looks like and they will tell you it looks like some farm kid from Iowa or Nebraska or Brooklyn or New Mexico. They will tell you he came, liberated and went home.

And he didn’t ask for a damn thing.

re: #30 researchok

It’s stories like that, and if you are of a certain age you’ve heard more then a few from relatives and sometimes strangers, which make me consider this wave of bitching, complaining, “Tyranny!” screaming Tea Partiers an epic FAIL.

May your grandfather rest in the peace he deserves.

TY

He used to tell stories of how when the ‘Dough Boys’ (American soldiers) came over, they woulg hand out their chocolate rations to their Brit counterparts. He said after a while, he and others were ashamed of how they would take that chocolate and trade or sell it for tins of jelly or biscuits. After a while, they emulated those American Dough Boys and handed out that chocolate to those uprooted always found at the perimeter or behind the battle lines. They had nothing- literally.

Often, they would strip dead enemy soldiers of their clothes and passed them out. In the winter, that was what the chaplains did.

My father fought in WW 2 as did the Roi’s father. Both have passed away.

When I saw the WW 2 memorial in DC, when I walked up to it - my eyes teared up, just suddenly, unexpectedly, unintentionally. It’s a very moving memorial.

I have seen similar patterns on radars in Australia, each time it was actually the radar.

Can you check another radar of the area?

My Grandfather fought in the second WW2, my mothers father, they were English he never spoke about.

He would watch every war movie with tears running down his face.

Sadly I was only about 24 when he passed, I would have loved to have been closer to him.
To young to understand the opportunity that I had.
