For the first time, Arkansas Air National Guard’s 189th Airlift Wing used Highway 63 as a runway for it’s C-130H Hercules aircraft. Officially it is to “expand the Arkansas Air National Guard’s capabilities that can be used in humanitarian and disaster relief.”

The deadly difference between Memorial Day & Veterans Day!

Video

Washington Post cartoon depicting Uncle Sam and Miss Columbia honoring Decoration Day, 30MAY1901.

Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day, it was created to honor those who were killed during the War Between the States (U.S. Civil War) and from 1868 to 1970 it was observed on the 30th of May.

Decoration (Memorial) Day observance, Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia, 30MAY1919. 

On 30MAY1943, ‘imprisoned’ Japanese-American boys conducted Decoration (Memorial) Day ceremonies, despite being forced to live in the Granada Relocation Center in Amache, Colorado.

Silent film from 30MAY1946; General George S. Patton is honored with a posthumously awarded medal, as well as Allied officials honoring all the fallen U.S. military personnel buried in the American Cemetery in Hamm, Luxembourg:

Because many U.S. states, and cities, preferred to say ‘Memorial Day’, in 1967 the U.S. Congress officially changed the name of Decoration Day to Memorial Day.

In 1968, the observance of Memorial Day was changed to the last Monday in the month of May, an intentional move by the U.S. Congress to create a three day weekend holiday, however, the date change did not go into effect until 1971.

U.S. DoS halts weapons deliveries to Israel! Says Israel has killed too many civilians!

Video

On 08MAY2024, the U.S. Department of State (DoS) explained why Department of Defense (DoD) weapon shipments to Israel are being temporarily suspended; it is all about Israel’s killing of civilians and the expected invasion of Rafah in The Gaza Strip!

Part-1, the U.S. does not support full invasion:

Part-2, Israel has failed to meet humanitarian demands, U.S. wants Palestinian Authority to take control of Gaza, U.S. say Hamas is an ‘ancient’ movement against Israel even though Hamas is only three and a half decades old:

Part-3, White House continues to whitewash acts of genocide, Biden might adopt Trump’s anti-International Criminal Court policy, claims students’ so-called right to go to school (which there is none) overrides the Right to freedom of expression (1st Amendment):

Operation Jupiter: U.S. Navy fires commander of bio-research labs!

The ‘woke’ U.S. Navy (USN) continues to clean house, removing yet another senior officer from a command position.  This time it is the commander of Naval Medical Research Unit (NAMRU)-South (aka Unit-6, in operation since 1983)!

Captain Abigail Y. Marter was removed from command officially “due to a loss of confidence”, which has become the standard ‘official’ reason why the new ‘woke’ USN is getting rid of officers and enlisted.  The USN did not give details about the decision, U.S. federal law does not require the Department of Defense to make public the reasons for commanders being removed from their jobs.

Captain Abigail Y. Marter, a family nurse practitioner, had been in command of Research Lab Unit South since only July 2023!  But wait, she will continue to sail-on (at least temporarily), working for the USN’s Naval Medical Research Command.

Unit-South (formerly Unit-6, until July 2023) operates biomedical labs in Callao and the Naval Clinic base in Iquitos, Peru, as well as on Soto Cano Air Base in Honduras.   The USN boasts that Unit-South researches and monitors various infectious diseases in Central and South America, such as malaria, dengue fever, zika, diarrheal diseases, sexually transmitted infections, and monitors for antimicrobial resistance in pathogens.

Note: the USN has both a rank of Commander, and a position of commander.  You do not have to be the rank of Commander to be assigned the position of a commander.

South Trail: Cherry Springs Nature Area, Idaho, March 2024 Thawing

Video

On 22MAR2024, my middle daughter Aryssa, along with my dog Struppi (and I) took a hike through the thawing Cherry Springs Nature Area, in Southeastern Idaho.

The Cherry Springs Nature Area is part of the larger multi-state Caribou-Targhee National Forest (Idaho, Montana, Utah & Wyoming), and is located in the Westside Ranger District of Southeastern Idaho.  It is two miles of hiking trails, a north trail and a south trail.

There was a heavy-wet snow storm a few weeks prior, causing power poles and trees across the region to snap, the South Trail was littered with downed branches and trees:
