~ ENTERTAINMENT UPDATE ~

SG-ATLANTIS

SG-Atlantis began tonight on the Sci-Fi channel. If you are a fan of the movie SG-1 and the show, then you'll love SG-Atlantis. If you didn't think there was anything worse than the Goua'ld, GUESS AGAIN KIDS! Yikes! Some ugly new enemies.


MARTHA STEWART

Martha Stewart did her sob story tonight to Babs Walter on 20/20 on ABC. She was of course portrayed as the "victim" of overzealous prosecutors. (Aren't they all. They're lawyers. That's what they do.) Anyways, she sees herself as Nelson Mandela. I guess that's kind of similar. Both are people that America could do without.

I, ROBOT

Welcome to Isaac Asimov's world. Very cool. Although, if some folks had their way..that's how we'll live in the not too distant future. If you wanna spend money to see a movie with action, this is your movie. Although, I must say that Spiderman 2 was incredible. It was better than the first. If that was possible.

CATWOMAN

Catwoman comes out next week. Last night, Halle Berry's ex-husband was on ABC telling his sob story. Halle Berry is no Eartha Kitt, but she'll do for now. There's never going to be anyone like Eartha Kitt.  I'm not sure what the premise of CATWOMAN is supposed to be. Is she going to be good or bad? We'll have to see.

FARSCAPE

For all our Troops that loved Farscape, fret not. They are bringing it back on Sci-Fi beginning October. Very cool! It was kind of hard to follow if you didn't watch it from the beginning. Oh well!

That's it for now! We'll try to keep you updated as much as possible!!
 

[Long Cut]

Yep, CAC-11 did some hardcore sub-tracking tonight, and "destroyed" the Bad Guy. We tracked him for over two hours, and then hit him with torpedoes. All in a simulator, of course, but still great good fun for all!

Thanks! Skipper

	*WATKINS, TRAVIS E. Rank and organization: Master Sergeant, U.S. Army, Company H, 9th Infantry Regiment, 2d Infantry Division Place and date: Near Yongsan, Korea, 31 August through 3 September 1950. Entered service at: Texas. Birth: Waldo, Ark. G.O. No.: 9, 16 February 1951. Citation: M/Sgt. Watkins distinguished himself by conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty in action against the enemy. When an overwhelming enemy force broke through and isolated 30 men of his unit, he took command, established a perimeter defense and directed action which repelled continuous, fanatical enemy assaults. With his group completely surrounded and cut off, he moved from foxhole to foxhole exposing himself to enemy fire, giving instructions and offering encouragement to his men. Later when the need for ammunition and grenades became critical he shot 2 enemy soldiers 50 yards outside the perimeter and went out alone for their ammunition and weapons. As he picked up their weapons he was attacked by 3 others and wounded. Returning their fire he killed all 3 and gathering up the weapons of the 5 enemy dead returned to his amazed comrades. During a later assault, 6 enemy soldiers gained a defiladed spot and began to throw grenades into the perimeter making it untenable. Realizing the desperate situation and disregarding his wound he rose from his foxhole to engage them with rifle fire. Although immediately hit by a burst from an enemy machine gun he continued to fire until he had killed the grenade throwers. With this threat eliminated he collapsed and despite being paralyzed from the waist down, encouraged his men to hold on. He refused all food, saving it for his comrades, and when it became apparent that help would not arrive in time to hold the position ordered his men to escape to friendly lines. Refusing evacuation as his hopeless condition would burden his comrades, he remained in his position and cheerfully wished them luck. Through his aggressive leadership and intrepid actions, this small force destroyed nearly 500 of the enemy before abandoning their position. M/Sgt. Watkins' sustained personal bravery and noble self-sacrifice reflect the highest glory upon himself and is in keeping with the esteemed traditions of the U.S. Army.   WEST, ERNEST E. Rank and organization: Private First Class, U.S. Army, Company L, 14th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division. Place and date: Near Sataeri, Korea, 12 October 1952. Entered service at: Wurtland Ky. Born: 2 September 1931, Russell, Ky. G.O. No.: 7, 29 January i954. Citation: Pfc. West distinguished himself by conspicuous gallantry above and beyond the call of duty in action against the enemy. He voluntarily accompanied a contingent to locate and destroy a reported enemy outpost. Nearing the objective, the patrol was ambushed and suffered numerous casualties. Observing his wounded leader lying in an exposed position, Pfc. West ordered the troops to withdraw, then braved intense fire to reach and assist him. While attempting evacuation, he was attacked by 3 hostile soldiers employing grenades and small-arms fire. Quickly shifting his body to shelter the officer, he killed the assailants with his rifle, then carried the helpless man to safety. He was critically wounded and lost an eye in this action. but courageously returned through withering fire and bursting shells to assist the wounded. While evacuating 2 comrades, he closed with and killed 3 more of the foe. Pfc. West's indomitable spirit, consummate valor, and intrepid actions inspired all who observed him, reflect the highest credit on himself, and uphold the honored traditions of the military service. If there be any glory in war, let it rest on the shoulders of men like these" -- Audie Murphy Thank you to all the military heroes, past and present, who have given me my freedoms.  You are my heroes and I pray for God's blessings on you today.  You will not be forgotten. * indicates the Medal of Honor was awarded posthumously
