 | Richard Nixon Funeral (12): 21 Gun Salute, Taps, Graveside remarks -Part 12 (of 13)- U.S. President Richard Nixon's funeral service from April 1994 (complete). In this segment, Rev. Billy Graham says a final few words over Nixon's casket before burial, as Nixon's family and the living former presidents stand by the gravesite. Two twenty-one-gun salutes are given to the former president and Navy officer, and Taps is played by a military bugler. Reporters Ted Koppel, Barbara Walters, and Jim Wooten periodically comment on the ceremonies and on Nixon throughout the funeral. Historian Stephen Ambrose joins them on occasion. The five then living presidents and first ladies (Gerald and Betty Ford, Jimmy and Roselynn Carter, Ronald and Nancy Reagan, George and Barbara Bush, and Bill and Hillary Clinton), as well as President Nixon's family members (his daughters Julie Nixon Eisenhower and Tricia Nixon Cox and his sons-in-law and grandchildren), can be seen frequently during the ceremonies. |
 | Gun Salute and Taps for a Fallen FilAm WWII Veteran A full military honor was accorded to FilAm WWII Veteran Vivencio Mangahas Padilla at his Memorial Service by the American Legion District 13 Honor Guard led by Adjutant Eddie Arabe on 2 March 2008 at the Northside Community Center in San Jose, CA. Retired US Navy Chief Air Traffic Controller, the organizer of the event in his welcome remarks invoked the presence of God and thanked the congregation for coming and added, "As we give our respect for Brother Vivencio Padilla through this vigil, we also pray for the eternal repose of his soul in his new life ahead.This is also the time his comrades-in-arms in the American Legion provide him the traditional military way of farewell for a friend and fellow member." WWII Vivencio Mangahas Padilla's widow, Ana Mae Gonzaga accepted a Letter of Condolences from Marciano A. Paynor, Jr.San Francisco Consul General on behalf of the officers and staff of the Philippine Consulate, a letter of Recognition from San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed, a Posthumous Commendation Award from Milpitas Mayor Joe Esteves and Certificate of Appreciation from the American Legion Post 858 for exemplary service to country and the community. MGen Delfin N.Lorenzana AFP(Ret),Minister-Counselor and Special Presidential Representative and Head, Office of Veterans Affairs at the Philippines Embassy who is currently in Manila on a consultation visit with the home office and upon receiving the information about the passing of WWII Vet Vivencio Padilla commented, "George, it is sad indeed that our WWII veterans are slowly passing away in ever increasing numbers. Of the 18,155 I counted last May 2007,I am afraid they are lesser than 17,000 now.What good will it be if when the Equity bill is signed into law, no one is left behind to benefit? Phyrric victory indeed. But, we should slog on for our veterans. I am trying to convince our elected officals here to write to their counterparts in the US Congress to let them know how important this legislation is to the Filipino people. Thanks a lot for updating me of our veterans in your area and please extend my sincerest condolences to the relatives and friends of WWII Veteran Vivencio Padilla. Mabuhay kayo!" |
 | Happy **4th** of July (2007 Rhode Island Air Show) http://www.YouIncMarketing.com Happy Independence Day, (Rhode Island Air Show)(Ri Air show 2007. (Galway air show) Thus may the 4th of July, that glorious fourt of julyand ever memorable day, be celebrated through America, by the sons of freedom, from age to age till time shall be no more. Amen and Amen." Virginia Gazette on July 18th, 1777 Schoolchildren in America learn the basic history of the events surrounding the Fourth of July, but the details of this monumental occasion in American history somehow fall through the cracks. Although July 4th is celebrated as America's official split from Britain's rule and the beginning of the American Revolution, the actual series of events show that the process took far longer than a single day. Taxation without representation! That was the battle cry of the 13 colonies in America who were forced to pay taxes to England's King George III with no representation in Parliament. As dissatisfaction grew, British troops were sent in to quell any signs of rebellion, and repeated attempts by the colonists to resolve the crisis without war proved fruitless. The original resolution was introduced by Richard Henry Lee of Virginia on June 7, 1776, and called for the Continental Congress to declare the United States free from British rule. On June 11, 1776, the colonies' Second Continental Congress, meeting in Philadelphia, formed a committee with the express purpose of drafting a document that would formally sever their ties with Great Britain. The committee included Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Roger Sherman and Robert R. Livingston. The document was crafted by Jefferson, who was considered the strongest and most eloquent writer (nevertheless, a total of 86 changes were made to his draft!) The final version, the document that we know as the Declaration of Independence was officially adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, although the resolution that led to the writing of the Declaration was actually approved two days earlier. The following day, copies of the Declaration of Independence were distributed and, on July 6, The Pennsylvania Evening Post became the first newspaper to print the extraordinary document. On July 8, 1776, the first public readings of the Declaration were held in Philadelphia's Independence Square to the ringing of bells and band music. All of this had occurred with some of the delegates to the Congress not even present; New York, for example, did not even vote on the resolution until July 9th. (Did you know that that not a single signature was appended to the Declaration on July 4th. While most of the fifty-six names were in place by early August, one signer, Thomas McKean, did not actually sign the Declaration until 1781.) One year later, on July 4, 1777, Philadelphia marked Independence Day by adjourning Congress and celebrating with bonfires, bells and fireworks. The custom eventually spread to other towns both large and small, where the day was marked with processions, oratory, picnics, contests, games, military displays and fireworks. Observations throughout the nation became even more common at the end of the War of 1812 with Great Britain. On June 24, 1826, Thomas Jefferson sent a letter to Roger C. Weightman, declining an invitation to come to Washington, D.C., to help celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. It was the last letter, Jefferson, who was gravely ill, ever wrote. In it, Jefferson says of the document:In 1777, thirteen guns were fired, once at morning and again as evening fell, on July 4 in Bristol, Rhode Island. Philadelphia celebrated the first anniversary in a manner a modern American would find quite familiar: an official dinner for the Continental Congress, toasts, 13-gun salutes, speeches, prayers, music, parades, troop reviews and fireworks. Ships were decked with red, white and blue bunting. In 1778, General George Washington marked the Fourth of July with a double ration of rum for his soldiers and an artillery salute. Across the Atlantic Ocean, ambassadors John Adams and Benjamin Franklin held a dinner for their fellow Americans in Paris, France. In 1779, July 4 fell on a Sunday. The holiday was celebrated on Monday July 5. In 1781, Massachusetts was the first legislature to recognize the Fourth of July. In 1783, Moravians in Salem, North Carolina held the first celebration of the Fourth of July in the country with a challenging music program assembled by Johann Friedrich Peter. This work was titled the Psalm of Joy. In 1791, First recorded under "Independence Day" name. In 1870, the U.S. Congress made Independence Day a holiday, albeit unpaid, for federal employees [1] In 1941, the U.S. Congress made Independence Day a federal paid holiday. [edit] Toasts It is often customary to deliver a toast or a short speech at a 4th of July celebration. Listen to the a Family Party Toast Media:http://playaudio-345.com/play.asp?m=422645&f=XMJXMV&ps=6&p=1 Family Party Toast Today, on the Fourth of July, let us remember Roosevelt's Four Freedoms of this country, and the entire world. First, there's freedom of speech and expression. To say what is on our minds. To shout, if we want to. Next, is freedom of every person to worship in his own way. Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist and on and on... Third, is freedom from want. We all deserve food, clothing and shelter. Let us pray for the world. Finally, there's freedom from fear. We should be free from terrorism and war. This is our goal, our mission. Happy Independence Day, everyone. Kid's Toast We all know what day it is. It's the Fourth of July, the day the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776. The people who signed it were doctors and lawyers and farmers, but they were really just like you and me. They were uncertain about the future sometimes, and they got tired and hungry. They were leaders. The founders of our country. On this Fourth of July day, let's think about these important men. Let us silently thank them for helping to build our nation. And let us remember the ladies who stood by them. They helped too. Happy Fourth of July! Courtesy of speech [edit] Customs Originally entitled Yankee Doodle, this is one of several versions of a scene painted by A. M. Willard that came to be known as The Spirit of '76. Often imitated (or parodied), it is a familiar symbol of American patriotism.Independence Day, the only holiday that celebrates the United States, is a national holiday marked by patriotic displays. Similar to other summer-themed events, Fourth of July celebrations often take place outdoors. Independence Day is a federal holiday, so all non-essential federal institutions (like the postal service and federal courts) are closed on that day. Many politicians make it a point on this day to appear at a public event to praise the nation's heritage, society and people. Speeches and editorials may invoke American Revolutionary themes such as the founding fathers (including John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, and George Washington), the Constitution, the Liberty Bell, and democratic principles such as liberty, freedom, equality under the law, inalienable rights, and representative government. Families often mark the Fourth of July with a picnic or barbecue, and take advantage of the long weekend or off-day to gather with relatives. Decorations (e.g., streamers, balloons, and clothing) generally are colored red, white, and blue due to the colors of the American Flag. Because Independence Day is in the summer, bathing suits have once in a while been given the American flag design. Parades are often held in the morning, baseball games played (July 4th being nearly halfway into the baseball season), and fireworks displays in public parks in the evening. Other traditions include face painting for children and tossing of a football or frisbee. [edit] Fireworks Independence Day fireworks are often accompanied by a pops orchestra playing patriotic songs such as "The Star-Spangled Banner", "God Bless America", "America the Beautiful", "My Country, Tis of Thee", "This Land Is Your Land", "Stars and Stripes Forever", and, regionally, "Yankee Doodle" in northeastern states and "Dixie" in southern states. Some of the lyrics recall images of the Revolutionary War or the War of 1812. While the "1812 Overture" refers to Russia's defeat of Napoleon, it has been traditionally used by the Boston Pops and broadcast nationwide on PBS, so many Americans also associate this musical work with the July 4th fireworks. "The Star-Spangled Banner", the USA's national anthem, commemorates the United States flag that was visible by the light of the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air. This view of the flag through a night of bomb bursts inspired the captive Francis Scott Key during the War of 1812, and provided hope for the United States as it defended Fort McHenry. Music for the Fourth has been largely traditional, as noted above, evoking themes of patriotism. Some contemporary compositions are titled so as to lead the listener to think the song's theme is patriotic, when it is not. "Happy Birthday America" by "Randy T." of Baton Rouge, Louisiana is a song that does seem to directly address the Fourth of July holiday as a celebration of a progressive nature. Firework shows are held in many states, and many fireworks are sold for personal use or as an alternative to a public show. Safety concerns have led some states to ban fireworks or limit the sizes and types allowed. Illicit traffic transfers many firecrackers from less restrictive states, showing that the American people have nevertheless found a way to celebrate "with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations." Most fireworks shows in the United States end in an intense finale, with a volley of fireworks rapidly launched almost simultaneously. Major displays are held in New York and Boston harbors and on the National Mall in Washington, DC. Detroit, Michigan and Windsor, Ontario also host one of the largest fireworks displays in the world over the Detroit River each year to celebrate both American Independence Day and Canada Day during the Windsor-Detroit International Freedom Festival. [edit] Picnics and barbecues Outdoor barbecues and picnics are easy to prepare for the large number of people that often gather on the Fourth of July. Barbecues generally involve hamburgers and hot dogs. 4th of july fireworks 4th of july 4th of july recipes 4th of july celebration 4th of july clipart 4th of july events 4th of july festivals

 | B92: Sta je bio cilj napada na Vukovar 1991? Vukovar - Tale of Blood by Jovan Dulovic VREME's reporter Jovan Dulovic was in Vukovar in November four years ago. These are his notes from that trip. Vukovar, November 13, 1991, 17:30 Seselj and his entourage arrived. There is no real frontline here. The part of Vukovar I'm in is mainly Serb populated and has suffered very little destruction. Only locals, territorial defence men, know which streets to use to get close to the center. But even that isn't safe. Snipers are active all the time. Seselj called a meeting with JNA and territorial defence commanders and volunteers. He is in a camouflage uniform with a submachine gun on his chest. His stone faced body guards are trying to note any potential danger. It's all actually funny. Seselj and the officers and the other commanders with beards, royal army insignia and bayonets. All standing at attention and saluting him. "We are all one army," Seselj said. "But whose?" Captain Sasa Bojkovski asked. Seselj ignored the question and continued. "No plundering, alcohol or incidents..." I can see he trusts his volunteers who handed him those lies. It's dangerous to go out into the streets at night because everyone is drunk and shooting. One night Seselj's men went drinking and threw a whole case of hand grenades out of the window.serbia srbija vojska albania albanian training UCK KLA kosovo SAJ siptar america orthodox russia grecce SRBIJA SERBIA BOSNA RS REPUBLIKA SRPSKA KOSOVO METOHIJA RUSIJA RUSSIAN GREECE GRK ZIVELO PRAVOSLAVLJE PRAVOSLAVAC BRACA velika srbija great serbia albania uck cetnik siptari kosovo kosova srpska vojska tigrovi arkan pristina beograd siptar sarajevo kosovo republika smesno srbija hrvatska bosna serbia croatia bosnia balkan serbia srbija srbi srbin serb serbs cetnik chetnik cetnici chetniks serbian beograd belgrade sr Albanian stupidity Must see serbia srbija srbi srbin serb serbs cetnik chetnik cetnici chetniks serbian beograd belgrade srpski srpska serbien cccc Srbija srpske zene cure serbia girls women balkan kosovo je srbija muzika song music igra folk sexy dance bosnia italy spain russia poland czech republic belorus slovakia slovenia croatia hrvatska ukraine hungary romania moldova estonia germany france greece portugal england scotland ireland north ireland norway sweden finland europe union belgium holland netherlands ljudiHrvati Dalmacija Croatia Istra Slavonija Vukovar Zagreb dinamo torcida bbb hajduk rijeka domovinski rat oluja bljesak maestral teroristi Republika srpska krajina serbia srbija cetnik chetnik cetnici serbs croatia bosna bosnia hrvatska ustasa balija srbi serbian yugoslavia bih cccc Chetnosong serbian eurosong Hercegovina albania kosovo screbrenica general ante gotovina arkan tudjman mladic karadzic milosevic Dubrovnik kosovo bih kosova shqiperia albania uck kla macedonia makedonija skopje greece hellas greek makedonia vmro serbia srbija srbi srbin serb serbs cetnik chetnik cetnici chetniks serbian beograd belgrade srpski srpska serbien serbian serbien chetniks cetnici serbs srbi serbia srbija yugoslavia bosnia bosna krajina kosovo cetnik chetnik srbin war Tanks army serbian serbien chetniks cetnici serbs srbi serbia srbija yugoslavia bosnia bosna cetnik chetnik srbin Dubrovnik kosovo bih kosova shqiperia albania uck kla macedonia makedonija POSLEDNJI REZ skopje greece hellas greek makedonia vmro serbia srbija srbi srbin serb serbs cetnik chetnik cetnici chetniks serbian beograd belgrade srpski srpska serbien cccc Srbija srpske zene cure serbia girls women balkan kosovo je srbija muzika song music igra folk sexy dance bosnia italy spain russia poland czech republic belorus slovakia slovenia croatia hrvatska ukraine hungary romania moldova estonia germany france greece portugal england scotland ireland north ireland norway sweden finland europe union belgium holland netherlands ljudi people britney spears eurosong Hercegovina albania kosovo screbrenica serbia srbija cetnik chetnik cetnici serbs croatia bosnia hrvatska srbi serbian yugoslavia bih cccc mladic karadzic milosevic b92 rts srj scg Montenegro Crna Gora podgorica srbija serbia croatia hrvatska dubrovnik herceg novi tivat kotor cetinje boka kotorska konavle cavtat cepikuce lovcen njegos bar budva niksic podgorica ulcinj berane rozaje kolasin jevrem brkovic slavko perovic momir bulatovic vukovar JNA srpski b92 srbija serbia war rat serbian croatia hrvatska serbs chetniks music yugoslavia cetnici bosna srbi keba rock roll muzika glazba novi sad vojvodina vojislav seselj tomislav nikolic radikali boris tadic ldp ceda jovanovic jugoslavija borkovic mladi jastreb mile dedakovic blago zadro mitnica borovo naselje sfrj beograd belgrade zoran djindjic arkan zeljko raznatovic slavonija |

 | The Quest (1996) - Uncut RED BAND Trailer - JC Van Damme Buy DVD HERE : http://www.kinowelt.de/detail.php?id=1205&art=khe THE QUEST: As a child, Van Damme (birth name Jean-Claude Van Varenberg) hid himself in comic books and listen to Beethoven music. To help overcome his extreme shyness and overcome his timid nature - his father enrolled his young son into a famous Shotakon Karate school run by Goetz. By sheer will and determination he shaped himself into fighter winning his first karate match at 16 and then becoming at the extremely young age of 19 the Full Contact European Professional Kickboxing Championship. Subsequently, he turned his martial art skills into high profit by becoming an action/adventure movie hero with an appreciable following the world over. His numerous films have since grossed over $1-Billion in world-wide sales. As an established action star, Van Damme took a hand at not only co-writing the script for the 1996 movie The Quest but he also directed it. As a youngster, Van Damme loved movies. As an adult he had a left over yearning for what he called the flavor of the "Errol Flynn-type pictures". This ingredient was missing he felt from the high-adventure movies of more recent years. Van Damme used his star power clout to get behind the cameras and try to produce a modern fable dealing with the marital arts in an old-fashioned melodrama. The 1925 period setting of The Quest allowed Van Damme to dwell fondly on his own mostly imagined world of his bygone youth. Van Damme directs several movie sequences with unexpected flair as a first time director such as the 1925 period street scenes of New York where the story essentially begins with Van Damme being a petty pickpocket thief leading a clan of young orphans suggesting a hint of Oliver Twist . Van Damme also beautifully captures a wide variety of exotic film locations as the epic unfolds much like a Jules Vernes numinous tale of world travel to a remote land. The Quest, to many appeared to be a Van Damme film directed to youngsters as a salute to his own fond childhood fantasies. Unlike most of Van Dammes films containing extreme VanDammage and a high violence count, this film had mostly bloodless violence and was favored with a PG-13 rating allowing for a greater mass viewing world-wide. As a spin-off of the 1988 hit Bloodsport, Van Damme playing Christopher Dubios, an agile and talented pickpocket thief, escaps from New York police and mobsters by hiding aboard a freighter as it pulls from port. Unknown to Dubios, the freighter is controlled by gun smugglers who force Dubios into slave labor until reaching an Asian destination where the freighter is attacked by pirates. Dubiois is captured and sold to a kickboxing trainer. Given to his surprising ability to learn Mauy Thai, Dubios is trained to enter a Tibetan tournament were the prize is an ancient, valuable golden dragon statute. The film then focuses on some 25-minutes of various styles of martial arts in a Kumite-like setting called the Ghang-gheng held in the Lost City of Tibet. Van Damme mixes history and fantasy but uses 15 authentic and very talented fighters from Germany, Soviet Union, Scotland, Spain, Turkey, Brazil, Siam, South Korea, Greece, France, China, Japan, Okinawa, Kenya, U.S, and Mongolia for his movies fight elimination bouts. These fighters highlight one-on-one their culture fighting skills. Of course, Van Damme wins over the defending Mongolian fighter just as the audience expects. But, Van Damme has treated the audience to some spectacular fight scenes in the process. The Quests fight scenes are so elaborately filmed that a single fight move might contain more than 20 camera angles capturing in slow-motion choreographic splendor the raw, gritty power and flowing beauty of the skilled martial art talent that might otherwise be missed by the typical members of an audience not necessarily skilled in the martial arts themselves. Van Damme proves himself through his directing to be a deep thinker capable of depicting intricate fight choreographic with relevant social context to favorably shape a sportsmanlike attitude for youngsters and wet the appetite for older viewers as well. Van Damme even performs with some noticeable improvement to his acting. The movie enjoys a tremendous benefit from the awesome music delivered by music editor David Bondelevitch; he was nominated for a Golden Reel Award Best Sound Editing. |
