Taking a moment to remember those that lost
their lives and the ones wounded, in Monday’s senseless shooting that killed 12
innocent, hard working people.
.
In our prayers all… along with their family and
friends.

9/11 How Soon We Forget - September 11, 2013
.Note: This
video will only be up on YouTube until 9/15/2013… Then I’ll be taking it down until
I bring it back again around this time next year.
.
9/11 How Soon We Forget
-- VIDEO NO LONGER UP --
.
I
made the above video/slide back in 2004 on the events of 9/11 the
day… and as time slowly passed, up to one year later.
.
I would
first like to tell you how this video came to be…
.
I was
running down some music to use on my family website that I use to have up… and
at the time was looking in a place I used from time to time that had GREAT midi
files that a very talented man name Dan West wrote and composed.
.
That’s
when I ran across his latest work that he had written and composed himself in
memory of the victims of 9-11. His song was titled “Heartbreak Blues” and Dan
had put it up on his website for all to listen too.
.
Anyway… to
make a long story short… Dan’s music inspired me so… that I wrote him and asked
his permission to use his music in a video/slide project I was wanting to work
on and he was kind enough to say OK. And that I still thank him for.
.
Ok then…
About the video. The very
first part is put together pretty much in a perfect timeline as the events
unfolded that tragic day on 9/11/2001. Then I go back and forth in time with
the rest.
.
The 2nd
part, “Goodbyes”, after the credit roll, starts off at the footprints of the
Twin Towers, one year later. It was early that morning on 9-11-2002 and the
family members of the ones that lost their lives along with others came to say
goodbye one more time.
.
The
morning went from a calm clear morning at first then to being very windy and a
dust storm whipped up. Some of the family members who were there said it was as
if their loved ones had come down from heaven to say their last goodbyes too.
Many said a chill was in the air and that a strange calm came over them.
.
After the
first few pictures I move back and forth in time from days after 9-11-2001, as
people from around the world mourned the dead and this tragedy to one year
later, back at the footprints of the towers.
.
Why did I
make this video some might ask? Well… I mainly made this video for my family
and friends to watch once a year... and being you are reading this right now…
you MUST be one or the other!!!
.
So again…
this video/slide that I made is actually a 2-parter. The 1st part I call “9/11…
How Soon We Forget”. Then after the credit roll is the 2nd part that I call
“Goodbyes”. So be sure to watch it to the end.
.
Now for
the record… I could have gone very graphic with this and almost did at first…
but in the end I keep away from doing so for I wanted it to be able to be seen
by both adults and children alike. Regardless, I still made it strong enough to
get the point across as to just how violent and emotional of an event this
really was.
.
9/11, how soon we forget
No other words needed

their lives that tragic day...

Egypt: On Ground Updates
- Bloodless
Military Coup in Egypt -
Egyptian Military has Officially Ousted Morsy and
Party
from Power as of 2:00pm CDT
Wednesday, July 3, 2013

*****
* Fox News brings us the following report and
it starts of like this… Egypt's top
military commander says the army is now
in full control of the country and President Mohammed Morsi has been replaced by the chief justice of the constitutional
court as the interim head of state… He made the announcements in a
Wednesday night speech [around 2pm CDT, stateside] -- the latest twist in an
all-out power struggle inside Egypt that Morsi and his national security
adviser are describing as a military coup… Gen.
Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi said the country's constitution has been temporarily
suspended and Morsi has failed to meet the demands of Egypt's people…

rest of this developing story at link below…
.
* The Wall Street Journal
has this take on the news this afternoon…
The Egyptian military's apparent ouster of the
Muslim Brotherhood from power after just one troubled year in office deals a
blow to the movement's push for influence in the region. It could mark the start of Islamists' decline as a political power in
the region, but could also push some Islamists to give up on democracy and turn
to violence…

full report at link below…

President Mohamed Morsi is ousted by the
Egyptian army, who will suspend the constitution and impose an interim
government, with hundreds of thousands celebrating in Tahrir Square - latest

Chaotic Egypt in need of massive foreign assistance, not Obama's call for

rest at link below…
* YNet.com

ultimatum to force a resolution to Egypt's political crisis, saying on Tuesday

confusing Monday's 48-hour deadline set by the head of the armed forces for him
to agree on a common platform with liberal rivals who have drawn millions into
the streets demanding Morsi's resignation…

SuperMoon 2013
Video pull by me, AubreyJ
.
This Sunday, June 23rd, right at 6:30pm CDT, the
moon will be at its closest point to Earth for the 2013 calendar year, making
it look 14% larger than normal in viewing size and will be as much as 30
percent brighter than normal making for a particularly LARGE and BRIGHT, Supermoon Rising!
…
Below is a
video I took of the 2012 Supermoon rising…
It was back on Saturday, May 5th, 2012… the Moon was
at its closest point to the earth during a full moon, (that is until next
year,) making it 14% larger and 30% brighter than normal in the evening sky. It
was so COOOL watching it rise in real time that evening. It was so big and
bright... and really a sight to see.
Sooo... Turn up the volume and watch this video in REAL TIME... and see just how fast the moon really rises off the horizon.
NOTE: Use the telephone pole and lines to gauge the moon's movement!

Memorial Day 2013
Memorial Day is more than just a well-earned
Three-day weekend…

Memorial Day Message
As Written by Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel
Monday, May 27, 2013
.
Today
is a day for all Americans to gather with friends and family in communities
across the country to enjoy each other’s company, and honor those generations
of patriots who have fought and died in uniform to preserve the freedoms we all
cherish. We also grieve with those families who lost loved ones too soon –
parents, wives, husbands, sons, and daughters for whom Memorial Day will always
be a time of solemn remembrance. The perseverance and resilience of our
military families is the bedrock of our military strength.
.
Over
more than a decade of sustained war, the United States has been blessed to have
millions of men and women step forward to serve, to risk their lives and stand
watch in every corner of the world to defend our nation. Today we remember the
more than 6,600 men and women in uniform who have perished on distant
battlefields since September 11th, 2001.
.
The
men and women that serve today are as humble, patriotic, and selfless as any
generation that has come before them. Many have deployed on multiple tours –
active duty, guardsmen, and reservists – all citizens doing their part for the
country they love. They continue to make enormous sacrifices, along with their
families. We owe them and their families our most heartfelt thanks and constant
support, for they have added another chapter to our nation’s book of honor.
.
Members of the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment or ‘The
Old Guard’, place American flags at every grave in Arlington National Cemetery,
May 23, 2013, in remembrance of those who died in service to our country. The
tradition dates back more than 60 years.
