The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.
After storming the beaches on D-Day, June 6, 1944, the Allied invasion of France bogged down in seven weeks of grueling attrition in Normandy. On July 25, U.S. divisions under Gen. Omar Bradley launched Operation Cobra, an attempt to break out of the hedgerows and begin a war of movement across France. Despite a disastrous start, with misdropped bombs killing hundreds of GIs, Cobra proved to be one of the most pivotal battles of World War II, successfully breaking the stalemate in Normandy and clearing a path into occupied France.

Deliberately exposing himself to machine gun and rocket-propelled grenade fire, Jared Monti sacrificed himself attempting not once but three times to rescue one of his squad members from the "kill zone" after his patrol came under attack by insurgents on a mountain in Afghanistan. He declared, "He's my guy. I'm going to get him." In doing so, Jared was able to draw fire away from the rest of the American soldiers and buy time for air support to arrive. After suffering a direct hit from an RPG, the 30-year-old SFC recited the "Lord's Prayer" as he lay dying. His last words were, "I've made peace with God. Tell my family I love them." "I've come to the conclusion, and it's the only way I can deal with it, that it was his destiny. This is what he was meant to do," confesses his mother Janet. His father, my childhood friend Paul, has been unable to throw out anything of his son's. His house is crowded with boxes of Jared's personal belongings and he continues to drive his Dodge Ram truck. Songwriter Connie Harrington heard a radio interview with Paul which inspired "I Drive Your Truck" which became the #1 country song in America and was named "Song of the Year" at both the 2013 CMA and 2014 ACM Awards shows and given the first annual Golden Boot Award as 2014 "Song of the Year." "The actions we honor today were not a passing moment of courage. They were the culmination of a life of character and commitment," said Barack Obama as he posthumously presented Jared with the first Medal of Honor of his presidency on September 17, 2009. Jared died a heroic death but, more importantly, lived a heroic life. This is the story of that life.
