Volume 52 - No. 25

Lying prone behind the sand bags, the Marines peered into the night. The Japanese attack was about to begin. Only moments before, the Japanese had been spotted by a sergeant in charge of a Marine outpost. Now the jungle was quiet, except for the rain that had turned the ground into mud.
It would be a crucial battle this night of October 23, 1942 on Guadacanal. The Japanese had decided to build an airfield on the island. As it was being constructed, the Marines of the 1st Division on August 7 had hit the beaches, but when they reached the airfield, they met no resistance. To avoid the naval shelling, the two thousand airfield workers had run far into the jungle. The Marines were now in control of the airfield, which they called Henderson Field, but the Japanese were determined to take it back. If they succeeded they would accomplish the purpose for building the airfield: to continue their conquest of the Pacific, then invade Australia and New Zealand.
To defend the airfield there were some nine hundred Marines of the 1st Battalion of the 7th Regiment, the battalion headed by Lieutenant Colonel Lewis “Chesty” Puller. Protecting their left flank was the 164th Army Infantry Regiment, most of them National Reservists from North Dakota.
They would be fighting some 3,000 Japanese infantry of a crack unit: the Sendai Division. From his command headquarters, the man heading the division, General Masao Maruyana, had boasted, “I intend to exterminate the enemy around the airfield in one blow.” His confidence was based on the superb physical condition of his troops. While training in Japan and carrying full combat gear, the division had marched 122 miles in three days, and the last few miles had been done at double-time.
But, in addition to having what one Marine officer later stated was a “picture-perfect” example of a fixed military position, the Marines had the strategic advantage of having a defense line along a ridge which declined gradually for about The Paper - 760.747.7119

a hundred feet to a broad expanse of grassland that was ringed by the jungle.
Under the direction and supervision of Colonel Puller, the Marines had cut down large swathes of the grassland with their machetes to
give them a clear firing view, and had strung up double rows of barbed wire; in the rear, they had set up rows of mortars, all sighted on the expected points of attack; and along the whole defense line, which extended for about a mile, water-cooled, Browning .30-caliber

Manning one of the machine guns was Sgt. John Basilone. He commanded a squad of twelve men and two gun emplacements, each emplacement with two machine

Basilone, then twenty-six years old, was of average height but wellbuilt, and a veteran soldier. Born in Buffalo, New York, on November 4, 1916, he grew up in Raritan, New Jersey. His father, Sal, was a tailor who had emigrated from Italy and his mother, Dora, was born in Raritan.
After Basilone graduated from eighth grade, he quit school and at the age of 17, with signed papers from his parents, joined the peacetime Army. Following basic training, he was assigned to Company D of the 16th Infantry in Manila, the Philippines (the Filipino and government and U.S. government had close ties then) and there he became a champion boxer and given the nickname of “Manila John” by the men in his company.
In the Army, other traits besides his boxing prowess, became evident. He was by the force of his self-confidence and personality a natural leader. He also showed an exceptional mechanical talent, and became an expert with guns, particularly machine guns, and surprised enlisted men and officers with his

ability to breakdown and re-assemble the numerous parts of the weapon blindfolded.
When his time of enlistment was up, Basilone returned home. He took various jobs, all of which bored him. Meanwhile, there were rumors of war. If war did come, Basilone wanted to be where the action was. In July, 1940, he joined the Marine Corps and trained at Quantico, Virginia. Because of his leadership abilities and knowledge of machine guns, he quickly moved up the ranks, making Private First Class in August, 1940, Corporal in May, 1941 and Sergeant in January, 1942. Basilone seems to have been a born soldier.
Those soldiery qualities would be tested beginning Friday night, October 23, 1942, on Guadacanal.
With his finger on the trigger of the machine gun, in the stillness of the night, Basilone waited for the order to fire. For long moments, the jungle was quiet, then suddenly, the silence was shattered by voices. The Japanese were yelling taunts, which surprisingly were in English (a number of the Japanese, particularly officers could speak English): “Blood for the Emperor! Marines, you die!” A smile is a sign of joy . .
A hug . . is a sign of love.
A laugh . . is a sign of happiness . And a friend like me? . . Well, that's just a sign of good taste. We'll be friends until I am senile Then we'll be new friends. •••• Grandma & Grandpa
Grandma and Grandpa were visiting their kids overnight.
When Grandpa found a bottle of Viagra in his son-inlaw’s medicine cabinet, he asked about using one of the pills. Paul said, "I don't think you should take one they're very strong and very expensive." "How much?" asked Grandpa. "$10. a pill," answered Paul.
"I don't care," said Grandpa, "I'd still like to try one, and before we leave in the morning, I'll put the money under the pillow." Later the next morning, Paul found $110 under the pillow. He called Grandpa and said, "I told you each pill was $10, not $110. "
"I know," said Grandpa. "The hundred is from Grandma. " •••• I don’t always go the extra mile but when I do it’s because I missed my
The Marines were quick to respond, “______you! Come on, you yellow ______!” Again taunts. The Japanese wanted to say, “Roosevelt,” but because they weren’t able to say certain syllables, it came out, “Roozerover eat shit!” And “Babe Roo eat shit!”
The Marines hooted back, “Your grandmother eats shit! And so does the Emperor!” Then came the roar of voices from the darkness of the jungle. “Banzai! Banzai!” And on they came.
Over the battalion phone circuit, Colonel Puller’s Virginia drawl resounded, “Commence fahring!”
The night exploded. The crack of rifles, the stutter of machine guns, the twang of mortars—a cacophony of noises that almost drowned out the screaming Japanese who, with bayoneted rifles, charged, many of them covered head to heel in camouflaged leaves, in their crouched positions looking like rapidly moving bushes, the spent shells popping out of the guns, but like a river in flood, the Japanese kept coming, and then they ran into the knee-high rows of barbed wire, their charge slowed down as they struggled to maneuver through it, the next wave crowded into them, their bodies becoming an entangled mass. The Marines kept blazing away. Someone was tapping Basilone’s shoulder. In the infernal din of bat-

The minister and his wife were having breakfast on a Sunday morning. He remarked that his sermon today would be on surfing.
She asked “Why surfing? You don’t know anything about that subject.”
He replied “I’ve made up my mind, that’s what I’m going to talk about !” So she let it go at that.
On his way to church he had second thoughts and decided to give his old “Sex in Marriage” sermon instead. It was received well by the congregation and one lady, in particular, was so inspired that she rushed over to the minister’s house, arriving before he did, and told the wife how much she had enjoyed the sermon.
The wife replied, “Oh, he really doesn’t know much about that subject. He’s only tried it twice and he fell off both times.” •••• Sister Mary Ann’s Gasoline Sister Mary Ann, who worked for a home health agency, was out making her rounds visiting homebound
tle, he could make out only two words, “Almost overrun.” Basilone jumped to his feet and as fast as he could ran to his second section and there he found three of his men dead and, tended by a medic, two men badly wounded. One of the machine guns was demolished, the other was jammed.
He ran back to his pit, picked up a machine gun, shouted at two of his men to follow him, and as they headed for the other section, they ran into six Japanese who had infiltrated the line. Before the Japanese could react, the two other Marines, from hip level, fired their rifles. The Japanese crashed to the ground.
In the gun pit, while two of his men loaded and began firing the machine gun he had carried, Basilone took hold of the jammed machine gun and began to take it apart. In the darkness of the pit, Basilone moved his fingers over the machine parts. His fingers stopped, and then slowly moved over a single part. The head spacing was out of line.
In a moment the machine gun was ready. Basilone set the gun on the tripod, and with one of his men feeding the ammo belt into the

The attendant told her that the only gas can he owned had been loaned out, but she could wait until it was returned. Since Sister Mary Ann was on the way to see a patient, she decided not to wait and walked back to her car.
She looked for something in her car that she could fill with gas and spotted the bedpan she was taking to the patient. Always resourceful, Sister Mary Ann carried the bedpan to the station, filled it with gasoline, and carried the full bedpan back to her car.
As she was pouring the gas into her tank, two Baptists watched from across the street. One of them turned to the other and said, 'If it starts, I'm turning Catholic!' •••• New Bra Technology Dr. Calvin Rickson, a scientist from Texas A&M University has invented a bra that keeps women's breasts from jiggling, bouncing up and down, and prevents the nipples from pushing through the fabric when cold weather sets in.

gun’s breech and clipping it into place, Basilone began firing, full trigger. Less than twenty feet from the machine gun, the Japanese tumbled and fell.
By the time the fourth wave had charged, the machine guns were beginning to run out of ammo belts. Basilone rose from his gun pit and, with a pistol in hand, ran to the battalion supply dump, several hundred feet in back of the line.
Reaching the dump, he tore open ammo boxes, took out machine gun belts and hung them around his neck, then grabbed water cans and weapon parts and headed back, Loaded down in this way, he made several trips, distributing what he had to his men and others in his company. After several more waves of Japanese charged the defense perimeter, it was suddenly quiet. The Japanese had stopped their attack. It was past midnight.
During the lull, Basilone decided to deal with a problem. The barrels of the machine guns had become pink-hot. The high rate of fire had boiled away the water in the cooling jackets that were coiled around the barrel. But the water cans used to cool the guns had been punc-

Coming to his feet, Basilone began to urinate in the cooling jackets and ordered his men to do the same.
About 1:15 a.m., the Japanese attacked again, this time directly in front of Company C, Basilone’s company. The Marines opened up with machine guns, rifles and mortars. Within five minutes nearly all the attackers were dead. When morning came, it revealed a scene of carnage that riveted even the most combat-hardened Marine. On the ground, Japanese bodies were stacked two and three feet high, and on the barbed wire, the mound of corpses were three and four feet deep—in the last charges, the Japanese had used the bodies of their comrades as bridges over the wire. Covered with blue-colored flies, the corpses had putrefied. The stink permeated much of the area. Basilone ordered his men to remove some of the corpses from the wire to clear the line of fire.
By mid-afternoon, the Japanese were still attacking the Marine line. In the incessant firing, Basilone became like a man possessed. He ran and ducked along the line, shooting infiltrators, rolling back and forth from one trouble spot to another, making sure the guns were operating, repositioning them, directing the line of firing, and when a Marine was killed or wounded, manning the gun himself.

Then a Marine yelled, “They’ve broken through!”
Colonel Puller hurriedly put in a call for reinforcements and the Army regiment was quickly brought in, divided into small groups and distributed along the Marine line.
The reinforced defense perimeter held, and by the first streaks of dawn, the attacks were not as frequent or as intense.
Later that morning, in ragged lines, the demoralized Japanese began to retreat. They had failed to take Henderson Field.
In the three-day battle, nearly 2,000 Japanese were killed, and their total number of killed on the island was 23,000. The number of American casualties in the three-day battle are not recorded, but in the official history of the Marine Corp, the total 1st Marine Division casualties on Guadalcanal were 605 killed and 1,278 wounded. Another 8,580 Marines came down with malaria. The consequences of the American victory were far-reaching. The

Japanese would never again mount an offensive campaign in the Pacific. And looking back on the victory on Guadalcanal, President Roosevelt called the heroic defense of Henderson Field “the turning point in the Pacific war.” For the Marines, the successful defense of the field had immediate consequences. After 72 hours of combat, they could rest and, in leisure, eat their K-rations with its biscuits, which they called “dog bones.” The division had further opportunities for rest while on their way to Australia; and when they reached Melbourne, they were greeted at the docks by hundreds of Australians; the day before the newspaper’s headline had read, “The Saviors of Australia are Arriving.” Thousands more cheered them the next day as the division marched down the main street of Melbourne. But in the weeks that followed, it was back to further training for the division, while the top Marine command mapped out strategies for taking over more Japanese-held islands. It was while the 5th Division was camped in Melbourne that Basilone learned he would receive the Congressional Medal of Honor. And on May 21, 1943, with the

Amid negotiations and strike notices from the Unions, Palomar Health remains committed to their goal of providing world-class care to all of their patients and the surrounding communities. The organization is proud to announce as of today, they have reached a mutual agreement with the CNA and CHEU Unions amid bargaining that has been ongoing extensively over the weekend and for the last 34 hours straight, with stakeholders at the table since Monday morning of this week. Both parties have worked together diligently to reach a tentative and appropriate agreement that is in the best interest of Palomar Health and the Unions. Palomar Health committed to returning to the bargaining table amid a strike notice from the Unions, which may have prevented the health district from offering the highest quality of care to their patients. The executive team at Palomar Health is at the bargaining table to ensure their best efforts to negotiate in good faith, come to an agreement, and avoid a strike and the detriments that come along with it. “We value our employees and want to make sure they have every opportunity

Man About Town
There's this guy . . . let's call him Jim . . . who has dedicated his life to taking care of all veterans, regardless of which branch in which they served.
Most of the veterans he services are those who are homeless, who are in need, who are down on their luck and he recognizes that about 20% of all the homeless will never be anything but that . . . homeless. Still, he helps them all . . . sober, drunk, high, straight, gay . . . if they're a veteran and needs help, he's there, night and day.
It's not all strawberries and roses either . . . he's had veterans he was trying to help kick him, stomp on his feet, hit him, beat him up, vomit on him . . . and he keeps coming back to help them. He works the streets . . . he works
In one case a friend of his asked him to come by and to bring a six pack. He agreed. When he entered his friend's apartment he found him on the floor with a needle still in his arm. He had injected a mixture of heroin and fentanyl. That fentanyl is bad stuff. It can, and does, kill within five seconds. It is becoming a major part of the opioide epidemic and it is flooding across the border and/or being manufactured in garage chemistry labs here in Southern California . . . in some cases even being mixed with battery acid. And people are putting this stuff in their bodies.
Jim also sees things on the street that sickens him. Kids, ages 10, 12, 14, selling themselves on street corners - for money for food, for drugs, for their family.
Jim has another friend . . . a big mirror image of a Hell's Angel . . . leather jacket, no shirt . . . just bare chest and muscle. This guy sees a car stopped at a curb with the driver chatting up adolescent kids, seeking sex for money. This guy has a great big 10' steel bar. He runs up, slams the steel bar into the rear window of

We are proud to have reached an agreement that our team can stand behind and be happy with,” says Diane Hansen, President and CEO of Palomar Health.
“We also want to ensure our patients and their families that we are ready to serve them and provide excellent care to our community with no disruptions. As always, we remain focused on our primary mission, which is to provide San Diego County and the surrounding communities access to extraordinary healthcare and services.” Escondido Family Not Happy with Punishment for Driver involved inn Fatal Crash
It’s been four years since the Liras lost their 19-year-old daughter in a crash involving an intoxicated driver.
“It has broken my heart,” Lisa Lira said. “My very sweet, smart, little girl should be graduating and she’s gone.”
While the person responsible for her death has been convicted, the Liras are still fighting for justice. “It's been four years of our struggle, and it's really time for him to go to prison,” Lira said.
In March 2018, Francisco Alvarez, now 32 years old, ran a red light on the El Norte Parkway in Escondido and slammed into another car. That other car was going 87 mph, near-
the car.
You can hear and smell the rubber burning for a full half minute as those cars beat it out of the area. Happens all too often.
Most recently, Jim was working the streets, looking for veterans that needed help when he heard a woman whimpering and crying. She was next to a dumpster with her two children, both not yet old enough to attend school. Her husband had beat the hell out of her and then kicked her and the two kids out of the house. She was seeking refuge at the dumpster . . . and here were two grinning thugs approaching her, one with his pants down around his ankles, saying things like . . . "gonna give you some sugar, momma . . . " Jim scurried back to his car and grabbed a baseball bat. He rushed to the two thugs and he took a mighty swing and nailed the worst of the two thugs right up alongside the head. He hit him so hard he permanently disfigured the guys face. The other thug decided he had other places he should be and left. Quickly. The police had responded and Jim spent the night in jail . . . but once all the facts were sorted out, he was released. Thing is, Jim would do it all over again.
I intentionally do not give Jim's real name . . . reason? Some of the
ly twice the speed limit at the time of the crash. Its driver, 19-year-old Brandon Contreras, and the Liras daughter Ana died at the scene. Alvarez was arrested two months after the crash, then posted bail and awaited trial out of custody
More than four years later, he was found guilty of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and DUI causing injury, and was sentenced to seven years and eight months in prison, but not go to prison while his appeal his pending.
According to his defense attorney, Kenneth Elliott, Alvarez’s blood was drawn after the crash without a warrant. “He feels terrible for the families, and he has taken this time that he’s been out on bail to talk to family and friends and coworkers, to talk about the dangers of driving under the influence,” Elliott said.
“I’m not satisfied with his admission of guilt,” Lira said. “He was on drugs and high. He had a mix of alcohol, and both those kids are dead because of his actions. I don't accept that he's trying to be out, that he's trying to live his life.”
In need of closure, the Liras want Alvarez to do his time in prison and serve as an example to others about what could happen if you drive under the influence. “We were so happy, and it will never be the same,” Lira said.
things Jim has to do are not entirely legal.
But things that have to be done. And some are things that, when done, are the only way to get the message across. Clearly. Like laying a baseball bat forcefully against the head of a no-account creep. Why does Jim do things like this?
A squad of Marines came to rescue him when he was in a rice paddy in Vietnam. Of that squad of Marines, nine Marines died . . . giving their lives so Jim, a Navy pilot, and his crew, might survive. Jim and his crew did survive, helicoptered out, thanks to those brave Marines . . . but Jim never forgot the sacrifice of those nine Marines. That's why he's dedicated his life to veterans.
That's why he works the mean streets. Jim is a man's man and I'm proud to know him. We need a few more Jims in the world.

The Paper TRAVEL TROUBLESHOOTER BY CHRISTOPHER ELLIOTT
Q: Last August, I was supposed to fly roundtrip with my two children from Boston to San Jose on JetBlue Airways. I had booked the flights through Orbitz. I was using a ticket credit from a JetBlue flight canceled at the start of the pandemic. When I got to the airport with my family, Jetblue had no record for these flights, even though we had confirmation numbers for the tickets.
I tried to call Orbitz. The calls disconnected twice, and we had to call back and start the conversation with someone new. Eventually, a representative told me there was nothing they could do for us at the time, and we had to wait for a call back within 24 hours. I called Orbitz, and I discovered that the credits had never been applied. They were still sitting in my account. I had to buy tickets for the following day from Boston to San Francisco. I also had to book a hotel to stay in that night.
An Orbitz representative asked me to send in the receipts for the flights and hotel I had to book in order to obtain a refund. Orbitz never followed up with me. After the trip, we reached back out to them, and they requested ticket numbers and receipts. I provided all the information to them, yet to this day, we have gotten no response despite our many efforts. Can you help me? -- Benjamin Eckstein, Natick, Mass.
A: This was a somewhat complicated case. But let me see if I can simplify it. You had a JetBlue flight at the start of the pandemic. JetBlue canceled the flight and you received a credit from JetBlue through Orbitz, your online travel agency. Then you tried to use the credit for a flight in August. You booked that flight through Orbitz. It issued a confirmation number, which led you to believe you had the tickets. But you didn't. JetBlue said you didn't have a ticket when you showed up at the airport. You had to book new flights on JetBlue and a hotel. You also paid for tickets to San Francisco on United Airlines. Orbitz asked you to submit your expenses, and when you did, it failed to respond to your refund request. And that's what led you to me. Usually, when an online agency sends you a confirmation number for your airline tickets, you can rest assured that you have an airline ticket. I'm not sure why Orbitz didn't apply the JetBlue vouchers to your new tickets.
But I am sure of this: Orbitz

Basilone Cont. from Page 3
whole division standing at attention, the nation’s highest military award for valor was presented to Basilone,
After receiving the medal, he said, “Only parts of this medal belong to me. Pieces of it belong to the boys lying buried on the island.” He returned to his regular duties, but then two months later, in July, 1943, Basilone learned that the Marine top brass had a special mission for him: to help sell war bonds.
A month later, having arrived in California, he headed to Camp Pendleton and while there he saw his brother George, who was a Marine in training. Soon after he arrived at the camp, he received orders to report to Marine Headquarters in New York City, and there he was briefed on the upcoming bond tour. Basilone asked if, before he started the tour, he could get a pass for home, and that was immediately granted.
Seeing Basilone as he stepped off the train on September 19, 1943, the people in Raritan went crazy. They rushed about him and kept him trapped for nearly an hour, as his family and everyone he had ever known growing up crowded around him and embraced him, shook his hand, tousled his hair. Then there was the parade, thirty thousand people, many of them from nearby cities and a long line of limousines filled with dignitaries, including the mayor, governor and senators. In the following months, with other decorated servicemen and a group of Hollywood actors, Basilone went on the war bond tour.
It was a whirlwind but successful tour. In one month alone, Basilone and the others toured ten states and sold more than nineteen billion dollars of war bonds. When the tour ended, Basilone asked to be sent back overseas. His request was granted and he was ordered to report on January 17, 1944 to Camp Pendleton where he joined the newly formed 5th Marine Division, and where he was promoted to gunnery sergeant and put in charge of a platoon. And it was while he was in training with this division that he met Sgt. Lena Riggi, a reservist, stationed at Pendleton. They soon fell in love and on July 10, 1944, they were married at St. Mary’s Star of the Sea Church in Oceanside. A month later, Basilone was told that the 5th Marine Division would

Cut the Gas Tax Already
California still has the highest gasoline prices in the U.S. along with the highest gas taxes. Gasoline is averaging $6.40 per gallon across California, inflation is escalating, people are hurting.
Immediate relief is needed, and the simplest, fastest remedy would be suspension of the gasoline tax at both federal and state levels. It’s been over 100 days since the Governor first called for gas tax relief, but nothing has happened. Despite our $97.5 billion surplus, the majority in the Legislature can’t come to an agreement about how to grant relief. The new idea is a small rebate of $250 to $350 based solely on income and residency. Legislative Democrats want to send $200 to all taxpayers earning less than $125,000, with an additional $200 per dependent. But they won’t consider a simple, temporary suspension of the gas tax, now at 51 cents per gallon. It’s scheduled to go up to 54 cents on July 1st. Can’t we at least stop that? Apparently not, though repeated attempts have been made.
suspend the federal gas tax for three months. In my opinion that’s not nearly long enough, but it’s a step California has been unable to take.
I will continue to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to get relief at the pump.

So what’s next? I’m a member of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, which is advocating an immediate, temporary suspension of federal and state gasoline taxes. I joined five Assembly colleagues in a letter to the President asking for suspension of the federal gas tax. The President agrees, and has asked Congress to

A Summer of Blackouts?
On May 20th, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) warned that two-thirds of the U.S. could experience blackouts this summer. Earlier in the month, California energy officials warned that summer blackouts may continue for the next three summers. There’s already finger pointing occurring from government agencies and many theories being publicized including climate change, severe drought, quick switch to renewable energies, lack of infrastructure, rise in the demand of electricity, the list goes on and on. The reality is, we are looking at a summer where the basic necessities we need, may be endangered. Rather than blame, I want to work on solutions.
At our next Board meeting, I’m proposing action to enhance resiliency to energy emergencies throughout San Diego County. We should not accept that our lights will not be on, or that our food may spoil. If San Diego County experiences days without power, that will cause severe harm to our older population and those who need electricity, including air conditioning. Part of the action I’m taking is to explore options aimed at enhancing resiliency to energy emergencies
throughout the unincorporated areas of the County, this will include options to expand San Diego Gas & Electric’s “Generator Assistance Program” to help residents of our unincorporated communities more easily acquire a back-up power generator. Also, I want to look at establishing a County program, separate from SDG&E’s, that would offer rebates or other incentives for personal/commercial back-up generators purchased by County residents and local businesses.
Another part of my board letter will include researching the need and opportunity for microgrids within the unincorporated communities of the County. I will admit, many of the grid problems that San Diego County now faces are from policies in Sacramento. I believe we made the transition too quickly to renewable energies as we need to focus on providing electricity right now, while also looking towards the future. But we are in this reality, and we need to be looking at all the ways to keep the lights on. To contact

Historically Speaking by Tom Morrow
An Historical Assessment of 14 Presidents
During the last half of the 20th century and through much of what has passed thus far in this century there often has been less than stellar performances on the part of U.S. presidents. These are my personal subjective assessments, not from a political, but from an “historical” point of view. Harry Truman: "B-plus" ... The toughest decision any president ever made was whether to drop the two atom bombs to end WWII. Historians mostly agree Truman saved more than 1 million lives with that decision, which puts him high on the list for top presidents.
Dwight Eisenhower: "B- minus" ... During his 8 years in office "Ike" led the nation like he led the Allies to victory in Europe. But he lied to the world about the U.S. secret U-2 spy flights over Russia while the Soviets shot it down and pilot Gary Powers was put on trial. But all-in-all, Ike did a noteworthy job. John F. Kennedy: "B- minus" ... Kennedy’s action to halt the Soviets during the Cuban Missile Crisis gives him a “Profile in Courage” mark. But the revelations of his womanizing does sort of deter from many of his good marks.
Lyndon B. Johnson: "C-minus" … LBJ deserves high marks for his passage of Kennedy's Civil Rights bill, but the quagmire of the Vietnam War that cost thousands of American lives compares with those lost during WWII. The bloody Vietnam War will be the primary subject future historians will study about his presidency. Richard Nixon: "D-plus" – He opened the door for trade with China, but the negative side of things outweighs the positive during his tenure. The Watergate burglary of the Democrat headquarters ended up proving Nixon was less than truthful to the American public. He was shamed and ended up resigning from office in disgrace. Indeed, he was a “Crook.” Gerald Ford: "B-minus" ... He did a credible job of holding down the seat in the Oval Office, but Ford’s pardoning of Nixon is the one thing voters remembered at the polls during the ‘76 election. He was a good man, but his time in office was too short for serious measurement.
Jimmy Carter: "C-minus" ... His administration is a good example of Americans voting with their pocketbooks. Recession, inflation, sky-rocketing gasoline prices, and the year-long imprisonment of American Embassy members hung around his neck like a heavy weight. A nice guy but he’ll be remembered more for the Habitats' for Humanity houses he helped build rather than the long gasoline lines of the early ‘70s. Ronald Reagan: "B –minus" -- While his eight years in office had its rough
spots, namely the Iran-Contra scandal, voters re-elected Reagan in a landslide. He emerged at the end of his second term with a relatively good reputation. But he had a sad ending, dying of Alzheimer’s disease. At the end he had no awareness of his long and successful life.
George H.W.Bush: “C-plus” – About the only memorable decision Bush made was organizing several nations for “Desert Storm,” which was the liberation of Kuwait from Iraq. The socalled war lasted about 100 hours. During his first election he promised “no new taxes.” Later however, Bush went back on his word. On his re-election attempt, a third-party challenge split the Republican vote, handing the win to Democrat Bill Clinton with less than 50 percent of the tally. Bill Clinton: “C-minus” – Clinton balanced the budget one of his eight years in office, but historically he’ll be remembered being impeached for a sexual encounter with a young intern. George W. Bush: “C-Minus” – He won the presidency by electoral vote but lost the popular vote to Vice President Al Gore. Nine months into his first term, the terrorist attack on the New York Trade Center led to Bush’s retaliation by attacking Iraq charging they threatened the middle east with “weapons of mass destruction.” There were none. Barrack Obama: "C" … The most significant historic thing Obama did was becoming the nation’s first black president. He spent 8 years staying out of harm’s way. About his only other accomplishment he’ll be remembered for is getting the Affordable (health) Care Act passed. Of course, Obama did more but will future history scholars take note?
Donald Trump: "D" … He was the most divisive U.S. president in history. Voters either loved or hated him. His cavalier malfeasance made Nixon’s seem like child's play. Trump had many good moves. His actions to slow the flow of illegal aliens across the border were extraordinary. His policies made the U.S. an international energy leader. Ironically millions supported him even though many didn’t like him as a person. He was responsible for the Jan. 6, 2020 riot at the Capitol building, which was a national embarrassment. For 2024, hopefully, Trump will take his vast support and back another candidate. If he tries to run again it surely will split the GOP, ensuring a Democrat victory. Joe Biden: (so far) -- "D" … Needless to say, the current president is faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges, many of which is his own making. Witnessing Biden’s decisions proves being the leader of the free world takes a younger person, regardless of party.

heard the news, our next flight is September 30th and we begin a new chapter - the Vietnam chapter! After 12 years and more than 1,500 veterans, we will kick off the new era by taking an all-Vietnam veteran flight.
We chose a unique group - the Navy HA(L)-3 Seawolves. If you don't know who they are, they were the most decorated Navy squadron of the Vietnam War and in all of Naval Aviation History! No squadron flew more day or night missions, or combat missions, as they had over 78,000 missions, over 131,000 flight hours, and flew 1,530 medical evacuations. Their bravery, courage, and heroism saved countless lives, and they were awarded medals at the highest levels - Navy Crosses, Silver Stars, Legion of Merit, Bronze Stars, Purple Hearts, and 219 Distinguished Flying Crosses. Their service to our country also took 44 Seawolves lives and wounded more than 200 men. They were not formally recognized until 38 years AFTER the Vietnam War - by Congress in House Resolution 1228 in July 2010.
We are accepting applications for Navy HA(L)-3 Seawolves, so if you know one, let's get him on his Honor Flight. And, you can "Save the Date" for Sunday, Oct. 2nd as we give these Vietnam Veterans the homecoming they deserve!

holiday. In 2021, the nonprofit organization took in 270 stray dogs, cats and other small animals who became lost between July 4 and July 7 and only 28% of those pets were reclaimed by their owners (42% of dogs, 5% of cats, 0% of other small pets).
Sadly, one of every three pets gets lost during their lifetime, and only one in 10 lost pets are found. The Fourth of July holiday can be especially terrifying for pets due to the loud noises associated with fireworks and revelry. Pets spooked by the noise have been known to jump fences out of fear and confusion, resulting in an especially high number of stray animals entering the shelter after July Fourth celebrations.
“Pets tend to get very frightened by July Fourth fireworks, whether it’s big firework displays or community members setting off unscheduled fireworks in their local neighborhoods. It’s so important that pet parents have a solid plan to keep their animals calm and safe, since we see a significant increase in stray pets after the holiday,” said San Diego Humane Society Chief Operating Officer Jessica Des Lauriers. “We urge pet families to have that plan in place early, which includes keeping pets home and indoors, in a secure location.”
Pet parents can reduce the risk of their pets getting lost by taking these simple steps: Ensure your pet is microchipped and the information connected to the chip is up to date. Microchipping is permanent pet identification. The process is safe, simple and designed to quickly identify lost pets and reunite them with their owners. The microchip, which is about the size of a grain of rice (12mm), is injected beneath the surface of the pet’s skin between the shoulder blades. The process is similar to a routine shot, takes only a few seconds and your pet will not react any more than she would to a vaccination. No anesthetic is required. San Diego Humane Society is offering $15 microchipping clinics at its campuses in Escondido,and Oceanside. To learn more, visit sdhumane.org/microchip. Collars with tags! Make sure your pets have collars with contact information tags and that your dogs are licensed. If you aren’t able to secure tags, simply write your phone number on your dog’s collar with a sharpie. If your pet runs away and you have your phone number on their collar, the person who finds your pet can quickly give you a call and start the reunification process, skipping a trip to the shelter. Consult a veterinarian for pets with anxiety. If your pet is particularly scared during July Fourth celebrations, medication may help them stay calm. Make an appointment early with your veterinarian to seek out remedies to lower your pet’s stress level if this is a known issue.

destination
He learned of that destination on February 19, 1944, as the convoy neared Iwo Jima.
The island is relatively small, only five miles long and about two miles wide. At the southern end of the island is Mount Suribachi, 555 feet high. Though a flyspeck in the Pacific, the island was strategically important to both the Americans and the Japanese. By getting control of the island and its air fields, the Marines would put an end to Japanese attacks against American-held islands in the Pacific and using the same air fields would put the Japanese mainland within the range of U.S. bombers.
a landing craft, it was an amazing sight to see hundreds of the crafts surging toward the mile and a half long beach. Basilone and his men were part of the fourth wave to hit the beach, and as they moved inland, they heard a long burst of machine gun fire a short distance ahead. They moved closer and saw a blockhouse built deeply in the sand. From its narrow aperture, low above the ground, protruded the snout of a Japanese heavy machine gun spewing out hundreds of rounds a minute. Quickly, the men of Basilone’s machine gun sections—who he had trained, set up their weapons and began firing at the block-house.
Prepared to take the island from the Japanese were three Marine Divisions—the 3rd, 4th and 5th—a total of about 66,000 men.
As bullets slammed into the aperture, the Japanese gun was quiet. Basilone jumped to his feet, ran to the side of the block-house, heaved himself on top of it, crawled to the aperture, reached for his grenades and demolitions and as the Japanese began firing again, tossed them into the aperture.
Two Marine divisions went in first, the 4th and 5th, with the 3rd in reserve. For the Marines on board the ships waiting their turn to board

Defending the island were 22,000 Japanese, entrenched in thousands of gun positions that had been dug in sulfuric rock under the island’s black sand, all the positions connected by underground tunnels.

Basilone Cont. from Page 10
Moments later, Basilone led his men further inland. He had orders to take over the largest of the three Japanese airfields, now only a few hundred yards away.
But then Basilone and the others spotted an immobile Marine tank and there was a Marine in the turret waving at them and pointing to the sand. The tank was trapped in a mine field.
The Japanese had seen the tank and were beginning to lob shells. Basilone moved around to the front of the tank and, with hand signals, guided the tank out of the field.
As the tank rumbled on, Basilone’s platoon continued its trek to the airfield. When they arrived there, Basilone had them set up on the edge of a crater. But he knew it was a vulnerable position.
Leaving a corporal in charge, Basilone headed back to the beach to get more men. He soon came
across five Marines who, in the confusion and chaos of battle, had become separated from their platoon. Basilone ordered them to come with him.
At that moment, a mortar shell landed in their midst. Hearing the explosion, a corpsman with an advance patrol came running.
All the men were dead, except Basilone, but shrapnel had sliced through both of his legs and abdomen.
The corpsman gave him a shot of morphine; there was little else he could do for him. There was a surgeon at a battalion medical station near the beach, but the corpsman knew Basilone could not be moved. In some fifteen minutes, with two men from another platoon who knew Basilone, by his side, he bled to death.
For his actions on Iwo Jima, Basilone was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross, the only enlisted man in World War II to be awarded the nations two highest
Escondido • Mayor Paul “Mac” McNamara Greetings Escondido,
We’ve all heard the expression – enough is enough. And when it comes to consequence for criminal behavior, enough is enough. I hope you have heard about the Craig Blas case, if not please look it up. He was arrested and released over and over and over again – ten times. I think we are all for second chances and opportunities to enter rehabilitation programs. What we are not for is supporting continual flagrant violation of the law and disrespect for the compassion of the community. We all have a reasonable expectation of public safety, and while Escondido’s violent crime has dropped while others have risen during the pandemic, that shouldn’t be a reason not to punish those who have broken faith beyond any doubt with the law and especially the order of the community. A similar pattern of Blas’s arrest and release was Justin Flores who recently killed two El Monte police officers. It borders on negligence as a community, if we allow these criminals to remain on the streets. The men and women who serve as officers of the law who risk their lives for us on a daily basis, and their families should not have to look over their shoulder wondering if they will be the next one killed by a known criminal not put in jail. It is time to let your officials know, enough is enough. Stay informed, Be Kind, Remember your neighbor, and Stay safe! Semper Fi, Mac Paul P. McNamara Mayor of Escondido pmcnamara@escondido.org
awards for valor.
Basilone was among the 7,000 Marines who were killed on Iwo Jima in the 26-day battle (his brother George, with the 4th Division, survived). Of the 22,000 Japanese, 215 surrended, the rest were killed.
The battle for that island occurred many years ago, but Basilone is still remembered. There’s a U.S. Navy destroyer named after Basilone; in Raritan. a bronze statue of him; and in Oceanside, a 13mile stretch of I-5 that bears his name. And for every new Marine—as part of their education—his heroic actions are recounted. He was a Marine’s Marine.

Last week we discussed how automobiles got to be as fast and powerful as we needed them to be by the late 1950s. With top speeds of 120 MPH and cruising speeds over 70MPH, the great majority of users had no need for additional speed. Automobile makers now concentrate on making cars safer, more reliable, more comfortable and efficient. In the years between 1980-2000, technological efforts on PCs were aimed at improving speeds and capacities in order to keep up with the ever increasing demands from evolving applications technologies. PCs doubled in speed, power and capacity every two years. As a result they became technological dinosaurs needing replacement
John Van Zante’s Critter Corner
In 2009 Windows 7 was a welcome replacement for the Microsoft’s failed “Vista” OS (operating system). Most users ignored Microsoft’s 2012 release of wildly unpopular Windows 8. Windows 7 continued as the dominant worldwide PC OS until 2018, three years into the release of Windows10. Windows 10 did not gain full acceptance until it was redesigned to look and feel more like the popular Windows7. The combination of Win 7 and look-alike, work-alike Win 10 helped create a stable environment allowing developers to create Internet based applications that began to replace locally installed PC programs. High speed Internet servers handled the computational requirements of Internet based applications. As a result a PC needed only enough speed to handle and display the download and upload requirements of Internet based applications in real time. Nearly all the PCs built since 2000 have that capability.
and stand-alone applications in real time.
The Internet has reduced our local “need for speed” and eliminated the need for some components. DVD/CD R/Ws are absent on most newer PCs because applications and entertainment are now streamed or downloaded from the WWW instead of being stored and played from CD/DVD media. Large capacity HDDs (hard disc drives) have given way to smaller, faster SSDs (solid state drives). Large hard drives are no longer needed because Internet based applications don’t store local programs or data. Cheap, reliable file back-up is done on the WWW.
So if you are among the 90% of users who do not use “high task” locally installed applications and you have a computer that is no more than 12 years old, you probably don’t need a new PC. You just need us to upgrade your old one. If you need a computer and have a smart phone, we can turn your phone into a desk-top workstation by adding a mouse, keyboard and monitor. If you need the convenience of a refurbished All-in-One, desktop or notebook PC for the kids or if you’d like us to help you spec out and then build a flashy new $2000-$4000 supergamer, we’re here for you. Whatever it is with PCs, come on in and we’ll help you figure it out.
While the great majority of PC users get no visible benefit from the ever increasing CPU speeds, there are some users that do. Users who employ standalone applications for gaming, solids modeling, video/audio editing and other high task operations executed locally rather than as Internet applications need all the speed and power they can get. Today’s fastest Intel PC CPU (i9-12900KS) is 6.5 times faster than 2010s fastest (i7-980x) but when using the Internet or common stand alone applications like MS Office, users won’t see a difference in speed. The slower processors still handle Internet
into an enclosed area and contact Animal Services or SDHS.
A couple other things to be aware of: A dog can burn its paws on hot sidewalk, pavement, and sand. Leave it home when you go to a street fair or a long run. A remember that a dog can over-heat at the beach, as well as anywhere else.
Travel Troubleshooter Cont. from Page 6 July 4th. Independence Day. Rancho Coastal Humane Society will be closed.
More American pets run away on the 4th of July than any other day. Keep your pets in a safe, secure place so they can't escape. Use a collar AND a microchip. Don't take your dog to your picnic. Dogs are injured stepping on hot coals, touching noses to grills, eating chicken bones, swallowing kebab skewers, drinking beer, etc.
If your pet DOES get away: Contact the Department of Animal Services. In the city of San Diego contact the SD Humane Society. (Be patient! It's their busiest day of the year!)
If you FIND a lost pet: Be careful. It's probably scared. If you can contact the owner, great! If not, get it
should have fixed your problem quickly when it realized what happened. And by "fix," I mean book you and your kids a new ticket and pay for a hotel room if necessary. Instead, it just kept you on hold for hours. You could have contacted a customer executive at Orbitz to get this resolved. I list the names, numbers and email addresses of the appropriate Orbitz manager on my consumer advocacy site, Elliott.org. I contacted Orbitz on your behalf. It refunded the fare and hotel stay, as promised.
