SALUTE THE ARMY by Rick Dandes
Two hundred and two years ago, the United States’ third president, Thomas Jefferson, in a message to Congress said, “For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well-organized and armed militia is their best security.” That Colonial militia was a forefather of today’s armed forces, which keep us free and safe. Tidbits salutes the U.S. Army on its 235th birthday on June 14. This week we also salute the Canadian Forces. • Known as “His Majesty’s first Independent Company of American Rangers,” the first Colonial American fighting unit was formed in 1747. Though it served England, the Rangers were American soldiers. • The earliest reference to a Canadian military unit organized in a school dates from 1861; six years before Confederation. The Militia General Orders of June 3, 1861 authorized a Volunteer Militia Rifle Company, Class B to be called “Trinity College Volunteer Rifle Company.” Although this rifle company was more of an Officer Training Corps than a cadet corps, the beginnings of the Royal Canadian Army Cadets had been formed. • The Canadian Forces, formed officially on Feb. 1, 1968, was the result of the unification and merging of the Royal Canadian Navy, Canadian Army and Royal Canadian AirForce. • An unordered “shot heard around the world” that occurred on April 19, 1775, at Lexington Green near Boston quickly started the War for Independence. At this battle, the first in the Revolutionary War, eight Americans were killed and 10 wounded.

Bulge, where the courage and fortitude of the American Soldier was tested against great adversity.
Chewing Gum (continued) • Even before an open treaty was signed between Colonial Americans fighting for independence and France, the French had secretly helped the cause of the Americans. France sent America money and army supplies and, in addition, able Frenchmen had come across the Atlantic to join the American army. The most noted of these was the Marquis de Lafayette. • By the end of the French and Indian War, a new weapon had appeared on the frontier in Pennsylvania and to the south, one far better suited to guerrilla warfare than the musket. This weapon was later to become known as the Kentucky rifle. • Congress established the U.S. Military Academy along the Hudson River, at West Point, New York, in 1802. • In the early 1900s, General Samuel Young became the army’s first Chief of Staff and the first aeronautical division was set up within its signal corps. • The “Star Spangled Banner” officially became the National Anthem in 1931. • It’s about time: Private First Class Clarence Wallaert was shot in the hip by a German sniper while fighting against the German Winter Line in Italy on Dec. 30, 1943. Wallaert bandaged his own wound and provided 12 hours of rifle support for his Army comrades advancing into the Liri Valley--the “gateway to Rome.” Nearly 66 years later, Wallaert, 86, was awarded the Bronze Star Medal at Scott Air Force Base, Ill., for his meritorious actions during World War II. • June 6, 1944: D-Day. In the largest, exclusively American field command, 1.3 million men stormed the beaches at Normandy in the greatest amphibious attack in history. • In late 1944, in the wake of the allied forces’ successful D-Day invasion of Normandy, France, it seemed as if the Second World War was all but over. But on December 16, with the onset of winter, the German army launched a counteroffensive intended to cut through the Allied forces in a manner that would turn the tide of the war in Hitler’s favor. This was The Battle of the

In order to ensure a more uniform look, the brass decided that the sleeves would no longer be worn rolled up, even in the summer. First, this had a practical reason as it helped reduce sun and other skin injuries. Second, it was all part of the Army’s current initiative to instill a warrior attitude in the soldiers of always being prepared for combat. Most infantry units had never authorized the sleeves to be rolled up. Lastly, the design of the new ACU’s made rolling up the sleeve extremely impractical. • The largest army component is the U.S. Army Forces Command (FORSCOM), which executes the land defense of the

• On June 15, 1877, Henry Ossian Flipper, born a slave in Thomasville, Ga., in 1856, is the first black cadet to graduate from the United States Military Academy at West Point. Flipper was appointed a second lieutenant in the all-black 10th Cavalry at Fort Sill in the Indian Territory. • On June 19, 1885, the Statue of Liberty arrives in New York Harbor as a symbol of Franco-American friendship. Nine years late in arriving, the 300-foot statue was a gift from the people of France as a celebration of the Declaration of Independence centenary in 1876. • On June 14, 1909, folksinger and Academy Award-winning actor Burl Ives is born near Hunt City, Ill. Ives is perhaps best known for his voiceover work as the jovial Sam the Snowman in the animated Christmas special “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” which included the song “A Holly Jolly Christmas.” • On June 18, 1923, the first Checker Cab rolls off the line at the Checker Cab Manufacturing Company in Kalamazoo, Mich. The company then employed some 700 people. The last Checker Cab rolled off the line in Kalamazoo in 1982. • On June 20, 1941, after a long and bitter struggle on the part of Henry Ford against cooperation with organized labor unions, Ford Motor Company signs its first contract with the United Automobile Workers of America and Congress of Industrial Organizations (UAW-CIO). • On June 16, 1965, Bob Dylan records “Like a Rolling Stone.” The sales staff at Columbia Records did not like the song due to its length, 6 minutes 34 seconds. Two radio DJs heard a bootlegged song and demanded copies. Sales got its last dig in by chopping “Like a Rolling Stone” in half and putting it on separate sides of 45s, but a respliced full version was what radio stations played. • On June 17, 1972, five men are arrested for breaking into the Democratic National Committee offices at the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C. Senate investigations eventually revealed that President Richard Nixon had been personally involved in the subsequent cover-up of the breakin. (c) 2010 King Features Synd., Inc.

$500 Bankruptcy
FOR WEEK OF June 14, 2010
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Choosing to work with someone you once thought might have been disloyal is a courageous move. The logical next step is to talk things out so there’ll be no reason for raising suspicions again. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Take your time making a decision about a personal or work-related relationship. New facts are still coming in, and you’ll want to know the full story before you take a definitive step. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Expect to learn something new about an old problem. This could provide some insight into how the problem began, and why it still defies efforts to find a resolution. Good luck. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) An uneasy work-related relationship can be eased with compromises by both sides. The parties might consider putting the agreed-upon changes in writing in case of a future misunderstanding. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Oh, you lucky Felines: Your romantic aspects are in absolutely purrrfect form. Don’t be surprised at how especially attentive the ladies and gentlemen in your life are going to be this week. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Looking to prove yourself in a difficult situation is laudable. But try paying more attention to advice from experienced contacts. It could help you avoid time-wasting missteps. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A business decision seems easy enough to make based on what you know. But this week could bring new facts to light, and you might have to do some heavy rethinking. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Feeling sure about the steps you expect to take is great. But you may need to share a few dollops of that confidence with those who have some doubts about your plans. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A sense of well-being dominates much of the week. A slightly depressed mood could set in on the weekend. But being with family and friends helps shoo it away. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You appear to be walking your life’s path like the sure-footed Goat you are. But someone might feel you could do better. Listen to the advice, but make up your own mind. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) With positive signs growing stronger, Aquarians could find themselves facing choices that are each too good to turn down. Best advice: Go for the one you feel most comfortable with. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Someone you know might need your comfort and wisdom during a particularly difficult period. Your encouraging words help restore selfconfidence and rebuild strength. BORN THIS WEEK: Your kindness to all who need you is always appreciated and sets a fine example for others to follow.

Auto Insurance Myths
Having vehicle insurance gives a feeling of security. After all, if something goes wrong, the insurance company will take care of things, right? Maybe. Understanding what isn’t covered in your policy is just as important as what is covered -- or maybe more important if an accident catches you unawares. Myth: Whatever dollar amount the state requires for bodily and property damage liability coverage is plenty. Not necessarily. It depends on your assets. If you have an accident that includes bodily injury to others and you are sued, you could lose all your assets. It’s the same with property-damage liability. If you hit someone else’s vehicle, your insurer will take care of the costs, but only up to the limits of your policy. You might not be covered for the complete expense if the other person owns an expensive vehicle. Opt for umbrella liability coverage for damage costs that run over the limits of your policy. If a liability case goes to court, verdicts of $1 million or more could be handed down against you. Buy liability insurance with a deductible that starts where your

regular policy stops. Myth: If your vehicle is totaled in an accident, the insurance company will pay off. They’ll probably pay something, but the amount likely won’t be what you expect, and it might not even be enough to pay off what you still owe on the car. They’ll pay based on the cash value of the car, a wholesale amount. Opt for gap insurance to cover the difference between what your insurer will pay for your totaled vehicle and what you still owe on it. Myth: If someone hits your car, the other guy’s insurance will pay for the damage. Maybe, if the other driver has insurance. Buy uninsured motorist coverage, in case another driver hits you and has no insurance. This insurance is a cheap but valuable addition to your policy. Check the exclusions on your policy to be sure what it won’t cover. Look for “Acts of God” such as flooding or hail, accessories you’ve added to the car such as an expensive stereo, coverage while driving someone else’s vehicle or someone is driving yours, and break-ins where expensive items like cell phones or laptops are stolen from your vehicle.

Please let me win the lottery.” Lottery night comes, but the blonde doesn’t win. She prays even harder, saying, “God, why have you forsaken me? My children are starving. Please just let me win this once.” Suddenly there is a blinding flash of light, and the blonde hears God speak. “Sweetheart, work with me on this,” he says. “Buy a ticket.” A young man at a New Year’s party turns to his friend and asks for a cigarette. “I thought you made a New Year’s resolution to quit smoking,” his friend says. “I’m in the process of quitting,” the man says. “Right now, I am in the middle of phase one.” “What’s phase one?” “I’ve quit buying.”

The man took out his wallet, extracted two dollars and asked, “If I gave you this money, will you take it and buy whiskey?” “No, I stopped drinking years ago,” the bum said. “Will you use it to gamble?” “I don’t gamble. I need everything I can get just to stay alive.” “Will you spend the money on greens fees at a golf course?” “Are you NUTS! I haven’t played golf in 20 years!” The man said, “Well, I’m not going to give you two dollars. Instead, I’m going to take you to my home for a terrific dinner cooked by my wife.” The bum was astounded. “Won’t your wife be furious with you for doing that? I know I’m dirty, and I probably smell pretty bad.” The man replied, “Hey, man, that’s OK!

• It was multi-talented Sir Francis Bacon -- he was a statesman, lawyer, scientist, philosopher and author -- who made the following sage observation: “If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts; but if he will be content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties.” • One of the most highly praised actresses of our time, Meryl Streep, holds the record for Academy Award nominations; she’s been awarded the Oscar twice, but has been nominated an impressive 16 times. • The highest known life insurance payout occurred in 1970, when the widow of a cattle rancher was awarded $18 million in benefits. • Those who study such things say that Italians drink, on average, 26 gallons of wine every year. • It’s just common sense that people tend to behave better when they’re being watched, but it may come as a surprise that it doesn’t seem to matter whether or not the watcher is real. Researchers made this discovery in an experiment conducted at the University of Newcastle in Australia.
