Unfortunately, there are no national holidays celebrated today.

...

The Wizard of Oz premiered on this day in 1939.

That ought to be a national holiday! :)

Happy Birthday and Congrats on your weight loss. If anyone knows what an accomplishment that is, I do.

I've lost over twice that much, but still have 3 times that much to go, and even then I'll be that 33 lbs or so over what the "BMI index" tables say I should be. My doc would be happy if I was that much (33 lbs) over my goal, which also happens to be what I weighed when I was last in the military reserve.

Yippeee!!!

The bus stopped and let PrissyMissy off at our driveway today.

I didn't have the car out of the garage with the engine running. This morning, I had a clue that they may have finally gotten it right. The bus stopped at our house at 7:00 this morning. I told the driver yesterday that Marissa would not be riding in the mornings because it was too early. They probably need to stop anyway in case there is a change.

I can finally relax. Whewwww.

Truck driver receives Purple Heart

August 16, 2005 A truck driver with 3rd Infantry Division was awarded the Military Order of the Purple Heart Aug. 11 in a ceremony at the Division Support Brigade Ministry Center.

Staff Sgt. Khevin G. Smith, a heavy-wheel vehicle operator with the 104th Transportation Company, 87th Corps Support Battalion, DSB, was awarded the medal by Brig. Gen. Mark E. O’Neill, the assistant division commander for support for the 3rd Inf. Div.

Smith received the medal for wounds received in action April 20 when his convoy was ambushed on its way to Camp Liberty. Smith’s Heavy Equipment Transporter was struck by a vehicle-borne explosive device.

Smith managed to evacuate his truck commander, Spc. Morris Smith, who was sitting in the passenger seat. The two of them were picked up by Sgt. Eric L. Martin, who had pulled his HET next to them as they exited their damaged truck.

“The actions of Martin and the escorts from the 3rd Battalion, 117th Field Artillery Regiment, Alabama Army National Guard are the reason we’re here, said Smith, whose unit deployed from Fort Benning, Ga.”
