Capture of the German U-Boat U-505

Polar Bear Attacks U.S. Submarine

A polar bear chewed on the rudder of a U.S. submarine and then attacked it after the sub surfaced in the ice pack during maneuvers between the North Pole and Alaska this spring, the U.S. Navy reported last week.

The submarine "Connecticut," a new Seawolf-class sub, had partly surfaced with its sail and rudder sticking through the ice on April 27. An officer then looked around outside with the sub's periscope and noticed it was being stalked by a polar bear.

In a series of pictures captured on the periscope's camera, the bear apparently chewed on the rudder, then batted it around. The Navy says the damage was minor.

Not performed in concert by The Beatles

and

'Yellow Submarine' was issued with 'Eleanor Rigby' as a double A-side single simultaneously with the album Revolver

'Yellow Submarine' was written especially for Ringo to sing - most Beatles albums included a song featuring Ringo on lead vocal

The song inspired the creation of the extremely successful Yellow Submarine movie, released in 1968 and reissued in upgraded form in 1999

 

I once expressed an interest in Submarine Service, but failed the first question:
"I like to sleep with the windows open     True___  False___ "

One of my "voices" is very fond of telling me that I'm about as useful as a screen on a submarine.....

The Fisher House program is a unique private-public partnership that supports America's military in their time of need by providing homes close to a loved one during the hospitalization for an unexpected illness, disease, or injury. There are currently 31 houses located on the grounds of every major military medical center and several VA medical centers. These houses will play a critical role in caring for casualties from Operation Iraqi Freedom. Donations will be used to help meet the cost of lodging for a family whose loved one was injured in Operation Enduring Freedom or Operation Iraqi Freedom. There is a limit to the number of families who can stay in a Fisher House and program is committed to help provide lodging for families who must find commercial lodging, because the Fisher House is full.

You think you're hot?
Our military forces in Iraq sweat it out in 130 degree heat everyday!

Cool Our Troops is a non-profit effort to 'Cool' our troops in Iraq. They are raising funds to send personal misters to 50,000 military personnel serving in Iraq. The misters are portable, no batteries or electricity required, and rely on evaporation to cool surrounding temperatures by 20-30 degrees.

Today's FEEBLE attempt at humor:

A couple was going out for the evening. The last thing they did was to put the cat out.

The taxi arrived, and as the couple walked out of the house, the cat shoots back in. So the husband goes back inside to chase it out.

The wife, not wanting it known that the house would be empty, explaining to the tazi driver, "He's just going upstairs to say goodbye to my mother."

A few minutes later, the husband got into the taxi and said, "Sorry I took so long, the stupid thing was hiding under the bed and I had to poke her with a coat hanger to get her to come out!"

Today, Oct 3rd, is the 10th anniversary of
The Battle of Mogadishu
(Battle of the Black Sea)

In 1992, the United States sent Marines to Somalia as part of a United Nations peacekeeping force (Operation Restore Hope) providing food to millions of starving people. Due to a civil war that had cost the lives of more than 300,000 people, international intervention was more than warranted.

After the conflict quietened down and U.S. Marines departed, local warlords battling for control of Somalia soon raided UN food distribution sites and killed UN personnel. The warlords controlled the country by starving their people. No matter that the rest of the world was supplying vast amounts of aid to relief organizations, the people were starving to death by the thousands.

Following the slaughter of UN peacekeeping forces, the United States responded with a show of force. Task Force Ranger was sent to Somalia with the primary mission of arresting warlord Mohamed Farah Aidid and his fellow clansmen for crimes against humanity. On 3 October 1993 members of the Delta Forces and Rangers were engaged in a pitched battle against rebel forces on the streets of Mogadishu, Somalia. The mission had been to extricate rebel leaders from a known meeting place and should have been completed within an hour.

Having met heavy rebel opposition, the 18 hour battle resulted in the loss of 18 soldiers, with scores of injured. The command had requested armored vehicles and AC-130 gunships as support for Task Force operations. Those requests had been denied by the Clinton administration, so Task Force Ranger did the best they could with the equipment they had.

The men who fought this battle did so in a noble and courageous manner. Two soldiers were awarded the Medal of Honor (postumously). Other members of the group were awarded the Silver Star, Bronze Star, and Purple Heart, with the "V" device to signify valor under fire.

Although the Rangers and Delta Forces sustained heavy casualties, they had accomplished their objective, having taken important rebel leaders prisoner. Critics of the military and this mission argue that the daylight raid was a failure. They had completed their mission, but four Black Hawk helicopters were shot down during the raid. A secondary mission became necessary. Protecting the lives of their fellow soldiers according to the Ranger Creed gained greater importance.

The Delta Forces and Rangers stood their ground and rescued as many of their men (including the dead and wounded) as was possible given the circumstances. One of the Black Hawk pilots having been shot down in the area of operation was captured and held prisoner for eleven days.

This pilot would not have survived had it not been for the two Delta snipers who gave their lives (subsequently earning the Medal of Honor) in defense of the pilot and his downed aircraft.
