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.

Access the Wounded Heroes Guestbook to write a message of encouragement for a hero wounded in the line of duty.   Messages in the Wounded Heroes Guestbook are viewed by wounded soldiers, their loved ones, and the general public.

Gaius Julius Caesar
* 13.07.100 v.Chr.    † 15.03.44 v.Chr.
Gaius Julius Caesar wurde am 13.Juli 100 vor Christus in Rom geboren. Caesar und seine Schwester stammen aus einer alten patrizischen Familie, die in Iulus, dem Sohn des Aeneas ihren Stammvater und in Venus ihre Stammutter verehrte. 84 heiratet Cäsar Cornelia, die Tochter seines engsten Parteigängers Cinna. Von 81 bis 79 ist Caesar im Kriegsdienst in Kleinasien und zeichnet sich hier durch seine Tapferkeit aus, woraufhin ihm der corona civica (Bürgerkrone) verliehen wurde.Von 82 bis 81 wird Caesar von Sulla geächtet, (Neffe des Marius) später jedoch begnadigt. Nach dem Tod Sullas 78, kehrt Cäsar aus Kleinasien nach Rom zurück und tritt in Rom als Gerichtsredner auf und beginnt von 76 bis 73 ein Studium in Rhodos bei dem berühmten Redner Molon, welches er bedingt durch den Kriegsdienst gegen die Seeräuber, unterbrechen muss. 63 wird Cäsar zum Pontifex Maximus gewählt und in der Senatssitzung vom 5. Dezember nimmt Cäsar Stellung gegen die geplante Hinrichtung der Catilinarier. 61 wird Cäsar zum von Hispania ulterior (Südspanien) berufen. 60 arrangierte er das 1. Triumvirat mit Pompeius und Crassus, und im Jahre 59 betrieb er als Konsul gegen den Senat mehrere Ackergesetze und die Festigung des Dreierbundes. Den Grundstein für seine Macht legte Caesar dann außerhalb Roms, als Prokonsul und Statthalter über Gallien und Illyricum. Von 58 bis 61 unterwarf er das freie Gallien (Vercingetorix), überschritt den Rhein und setzte 55 und 54 nach Britannien über. Die aus diesen Erfolgen erwachsende Macht ließen Caesars Gegner in Rom immer zahlreicher werden, und trotz der Erneuerung des Triumvirats (56) begann nun das Bündnis mit dem vom Senat unterstützten Pompeius zu bröckeln. Die Auseinandersetzung um Cäsar Kommandoniederlegung führte dann 49 zum Bürgerkrieg. Am 10. Januar überschreitet Cäsar den Rubikon, die Grenze zwischen Gallia Cisalpina und Italien, um seinen Machtanspruch durchzusetzen und eine Entscheidung herbeizuführen, die schließlich in der Schlacht von Pharsalos, am 9. August 48 mit dem Sieg über Pompeius, zugunsten Caesars entschieden wurde. Im ägyptischen Thronstreit stellte er sich auf die Seite von Kleopatra und konnte so seine Macht auch im Osten festigen. Den Widerstand der Anhänger des Pompeius brach er mit den Siegen bei Thapsus 46 und Munda 45. Als nunmehr faktischer Alleinherrscher packte Caesar die Neuordnung des Reiches mit solcher Energie und Weitsicht an, daß ihn der Senat im Februar 44 zum Diktator auf Lebenszeit ernannte. Die ungeheure Machtfülle, die man als Vorspiel eines künftigen Königtumes ansah, rief jedoch seine Gegner auf den Plan. An den Iden des März 44 wurde Cäsar von 60 Angehörigen des Senats unter Führung von Brutus und Cassius, in Rom ermordet.

Good Morning LaDivaLoca! Great thread! Good morning to our military and good morning to the whole Canteen crew.

Warm up exercise for today . . . . .

Got Insurance?
Airman Jones was assigned to the induction center, where he advised new recruits about their government benefits, especially their GI insurance.

It wasn't long before Captain Smith noticed that Airman Jones had almost a 100% record for insurance sales, which had never happened before. Rather than ask about this, the Captain stood in the back of the room and listened to Jones's sales pitch.

Jones explained the basics of the GI Insurance to the new recruits, and then said, "If you have GI Insurance and go into battle and are killed, the government has to pay $200,000 to your beneficiaries. If you don't have GI insurance, and you go into battle and get killed, the government only has to pay a maximum of $6000."

"Now," he concluded, "which bunch do you think they are going to send into battle first?"

Today's FEEBLE attempt at humor:

 

The following is a courtroom exchange between a defense attorney and a farmer with a bodily injury claim. It came from a Houston, Texas insurance agent.

Attorney: "At the scene of the accident, did you tell the constable you had never felt better in your life?"

Farmer: "That's right."

Attorney: "Well, then, how is it that you are now claiming you were seriously injured when my client's auto hit your wagon?"

Farmer: "When the constable arrived, he went over to my horse, who had a broken leg, and shot him. Then he went over to Rover, my dog, who was all banged up, and shot him. When he asked me how I felt, I just thought under the circumstances, it was a wise choice of words to say I've never felt better in my life."
