A Salute to Our Veterans by Irene J. Dumas Pdf

A Salute To Our Veterans is about war stories never told before, compiled and documented from 35 United States Military Veterans that served in the military during World War One, World War Two, the Koren War, the Vietnam War, and the Gulf War. They also served during the Cuban Crises, Grenada Crises, Desert Storm and Desert Shield, in Lebanon, Afghanistan and the Iraq War, etc. All the veterans in the book have been interview by me, except the last five in the book that are deceased. The last five veterans in the book are family members of our friends or relatives that asked me to include them in the book, they gave me the information about them. I tried to stick to the veterans stories, but after interviewing them, and researching where they had served and visualizing them there, I felt it would be interesting to the reader to also tell about some of the battles that they serve during. I also included some veterans that didn't have to go to the battlefront, their assignments were at home in support of the fighting troops. The stories in this book mark the period from 1918, WW I and continue through to 2007. This book has thirty-four veterans in it, and tells about what they did in the military for our country.

A Salute to Service by Michael J. Radford,Mike Radford Pdf

Concepts such as patriotism and family values have been mocked, struck down, and absolutely belittled in the past few years, according to this volume. The clear waters of right and wrong have been muddied until younger generations no longer seem to know right from wrong, but are mentally trapped in a murky gray area of if it feels good do it. This book by Mike Radford celebrates America, its families, its veterans, and its Christian heritage. Stories of great Americans and reminders of what makes America great are included here, inspiring all of us to return to the things that make this the greatest nation on earth.

A Salute to One Of the Few by Simon St John Beer Pdf

In a quiet churchyard in Amersham is the grave of an airman who lost his life fighting in the skies over southern England in October 1940. The author happened to come across this grave in 1998 and after some initial enquiries discovered that nobody in the town was aware that 'One of the Few' Battle of Britain pilots lay at rest in their parish. He determined to discover more about the short life of this hero and undertook several years of research to piece together this biography. Peter joined the RAF in November 1937 on a four-year short service commission at the age of twenty. In July 1938 he was posted to No. 87 Squadron being equipped with the then new Hawker Hurricane fighter. After war had been declared the Squadron was posted to Boos in France in support of the British Expeditionary Force, becoming operational on 10 September 1939. In March 1940 he was transferred to 501 Squadron in Tangmere and then again in April to 74 Squadron as an operational pilot at Hornchurch, equipped with Spitfires. It was from here that he fought his part in the Battle of Britain. For those who may have forgotten 'The Few', this stirring and yet sad story tells of the all-too-short life of one of the 544 young men who gave everything to defend Great Britain from Nazi aggression.

Salute! by Gail Donovan,Kevin Donovan,Simon Griffiths,Robert Castellani Pdf

In May 1999, four friends - two restaurateurs, a chef and a photographer - set out on a three-week holiday in southern Italy. Gail and Kevin Donovan, owners of Melbourne's popular Donovans, wanted to find visual and culinary inspiration for their constantly evolving bayside restaurant. Renowned photographer Simon Griffiths had been to Italy before and desperately wanted to go back. Donovans chef Robert Castellani looked forward to extending his knowledge of Italian food and of his Italian heritage. This beautiful book is their account of the journey. Travelling from Rome south to Sicily, Gail kept a diary of their adventures while Simon took photographs wherever they went, Kevin recorded the wines they sampled and Robert made notes on the meals they ate. The result is a lavishly illustrated, inspirational journal full of travel information, personal stories, ideas for design and decor and, of course, food - simple, delicious recipes which capture the flavours and colours of southern Italy.

The Hitler Salute by Tilman Allert Pdf

A strikingly original investigation of the origins and dissemination of the world's most infamous greeting Sometimes the smallest detail reveals the most about a culture. In Heil Hitler: The History of a Gesture, sociologist Tilman Allert uses the Nazi transformation of the most mundane human interaction—the greeting—to show how National Socialism brought about the submission and conformity of a whole society. Made compulsory in 1933, the Hitler salute developed into a daily reflex in a matter of mere months, and quickly became the norm in schools, at work, among friends, and even at home. Adults denounced neighbors who refused to raise their arms, and children were given tiny Hitler dolls with movable right arms so they could practice the pernicious salute. The constantly reiterated declaration of loyalty at once controlled public transactions and fractured personal relationships. And always, the greeting sacralized Hitler, investing him and his regime with a divine aura. The first examination of a phenomenon whose significance has long been underestimated, Heil Hitler offers new insight into how the Third Reich's rituals of consent paved the way for the wholesale erosion of social morality.
