	LEMON, PETER C. Rank and organization: Sergeant, U.S. Army, Company E, 2d Battalion, 8th Cavalry, 1st Cavalry Division. Place and date: Tay Ninh province, Republic of Vietnam, 1 April 1970. Entered service at: Tawas City, Mich. Born: 5 June 1950, Toronto, Canada. Citation: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. Sgt. Lemon (then Sp4c.), Company E, distinguished himself while serving as an assistant machine gunner during the defense of Fire Support Base Illingworth. When the base came under heavy enemy attack, Sgt. Lemon engaged a numerically superior enemy with machine gun and rifle fire from his defensive position until both weapons malfunctioned. He then used hand grenades to fend off the intensified enemy attack launched in his direction. After eliminating all but 1 of the enemy soldiers in the immediate vicinity, he pursued and disposed of the remaining soldier in hand-to-hand combat. Despite fragment wounds from an exploding grenade, Sgt. Lemon regained his position, carried a more seriously wounded comrade to an aid station, and, as he returned, was wounded a second time by enemy fire. Disregarding his personal injuries, he moved to his position through a hail of small arms and grenade fire. Sgt. Lemon immediately realized that the defensive sector was in danger of being overrun by the enemy and unhesitatingly assaulted the enemy soldiers by throwing hand grenades and engaging in hand-to-hand combat. He was wounded yet a third time, but his determined efforts successfully drove the enemy from the position. Securing an operable machine gun, Sgt. Lemon stood atop an embankment fully exposed to enemy fire, and placed effective fire upon the enemy until he collapsed from his multiple wounds and exhaustion. After regaining consciousness at the aid station, he refused medical evacuation until his more seriously wounded comrades had been evacuated. Sgt. Lemon's gallantry and extraordinary heroism, are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit on him, his unit, and the U.S. Army.   *LEONARD, MATTHEW Rank and organization: platoon Sergeant, U.S. Army, Company B, 1st Battalion, 16th Infantry, 1st Infantry Division. Place and date: Near Suoi Da, Republic of Vietnam, 28 February 1967. Entered service at: Birmingham, Ala. Born: 26 November 1929, Eutaw, Ala. Citation: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. His platoon was suddenly attacked by a large enemy force employing small arms, automatic weapons, and hand grenades. Although the platoon leader and several other key leaders were among the first wounded, P/Sgt. Leonard quickly rallied his men to throw back the initial enemy assaults. During the short pause that followed, he organized a defensive perimeter, redistributed ammunition, and inspired his comrades through his forceful leadership and words of encouragement. Noticing a wounded companion outside the perimeter, he dragged the man to safety but was struck by a sniper's bullet which shattered his left hand. Refusing medical attention and continuously exposing himself to the increasing fire as the enemy again assaulted the perimeter, P/Sgt. Leonard moved from position to position to direct the fire of his men against the well camouflaged foe. Under the cover of the main attack, the enemy moved a machine gun into a location where it could sweep the entire perimeter. This threat was magnified when the platoon machine gun in this area malfunctioned. P/Sgt. Leonard quickly crawled to the gun position and was helping to clear the malfunction when the gunner and other men in the vicinity were wounded by fire from the enemy machine gun. P/Sgt. Leonard rose to his feet, charged the enemy gun and destroyed the hostile crew despite being hit several times by enemy fire. He moved to a tree, propped himself against it, and continued to engage the enemy until he succumbed to his many wounds. His fighting spirit, heroic leadership, and valiant acts inspired the remaining members of his platoon to hold back the enemy until assistance arrived. P/Sgt. Leonard's profound courage and devotion to his men are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service, and his gallant actions reflect great credit upon himself and the U.S. Army.   "If there be any glory in war, let it rest on the shoulders of men like these."   -- Audie Murphy   Thank you to every soldier, sailor, airman, marine and coast guardsman who has ensured that I have the freedoms I have today.  You are my heroes. You will not be forgotten.

Delegates to the recent DNC in Boston have continued to lurk in the Boston area, and small businesses are thriving.

 

Electric cables burst into flames as an eight-story office building which was leaning precariously for days in one of Manila's busy commercial districts, collapses Friday July 23, 2004, hours after occupants fled in panic following creaking sounds and bursting water pipes. No injuries were reported but the incident damaged another building across the street.

Politicians in the Philippines have definitely been leaning to the left, but Administration Officials  loudly proclaim that they are quite balanced and not politically slanted.

Released: March 4, 1973
DEAR AMERICA: It's mighty nice to be home among friendly faces again. My
understanding of the reasons for your personal interest in us is slow in
coming, but among those many reasons I see a concern for those in need. This
affirmation of the brotherhood of man suggests an idea that forced itself
before me during these past years. There is almost nothing that you and I do
- whether we like it or not - nothing we do that does not affect someone
else. And even though the effect may be small, it can reach around the
world. Our intellectual, vocal, physical, emotional, and spiritual actions
and reactions have an effect on others. What we call our personal business
often has some effect on others - if only in the joy or sorrow we exude to
those near us. Cause and effect sometimes operate in unforeseen ways. The
lesson I draw from this human condition says: consider well that
well-intentioned actions can produce a negative effect, sometimes on those
unknown to us.
One more comment before my sermon is done: The terms of sacrifice are
uncertain. Those who have died have given their lives; those left behind
have given that life and continue to give themselves in small and large ways
each day. We can only sense and understand at best the effect. We cannot
feel it. The sacrifice of those left here is anguish, lessened in some by
their acceptance of the reasons for sacrifice, heightened in others because
it is an involuntary thing. The effect of those lost lives is not only
far-reaching, but deep beyond fathoms. Those who had lost a husband, father,
or son, but now have him returned have also suffered that anguish. What
remains is a hope that all of those left here by the men who died will have
a rebirth for themselves.
If these words make sense, then let them be a tribute to those people who
suffer from uncertainty and loss, and resolve to consider your effect upon
them in showing your care.

were going well until another aneurysm ruptured. His wife stated "Please
