Osama Bin Landen & Al Qaeda, Documents Captured At Abbottabad Compound,
from Paperless Archives.com

A study of the declassified documents recovered from Osama bin Laden's compound in Pakistan reveals a terrorist leader frustrated with regional jihadi groups and his own inability to exercise control over them. The Combating Terrorism Center at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point says the late al-Qaida leader's frustration is the "most compelling story to be told" by the declassified documents. The privately-funded research institution released the documents and its analysis of them on May 3, 2011.

US Children in Single Mother Families .pdf File
Today, nearly one-fourth (24 percent) of the 75 million children under age 18 lives in a single-mother family (see Table 1, page 2). Of the 18.1 million children in single-mother families, 9.2 million are under 9 years of age. Although single-father families have increased in recent years, single-mother families still account for the overwhelming majority of children living in single-parent homes. However, the likelihood of having a single mother varies widely across different racial/ethnic groups. About one-sixth (16 percent) of white children live in single-mother families, compared with one-fourth (27 percent) of Latino children and one-half (52 percent) of African American children.

During the past 30 years, there has been a steady increase in the share of single mothers who have never been married, and a drop in single motherhood resulting from divorce or separation. Still, in 2009, more than half of all single mothers (53 percent) have been previously married. Among white single mothers, two-thirds (66 percent) have been previously married, compared with nearly half (48 percent) of Latino single mothers and a third (34 percent) of African American single mothers.

THE CASE FOR CHRIST
Based upon the Gold Medallion award-winning best-seller, The Case for Christ documents Lee Strobel's journey from atheism to faith through his two-year investigation of the Bible and the life of Jesus Christ. Strobel, the former legal editor of the Chicago Tribune, draws upon his investigative skills to examine the historical accuracy of the Gospels, the personal claims of Jesus and His resurrection from the dead. Is there evidence to confirm that Jesus of Nazareth was, indeed, the son of God and the savior of the world? This remarkable film features interviews with 10 leading Biblical scholars from North America and England, cutting-edge apologetics, and a compelling original music score.


GOD in America:explores the tumultuous 400-year history of the intersection of religion and public life in America,
Watch the Full Program Online

Puritan "city on a hill" beckoned on the horizon of the New World, religious faith and belief have forged America's ideals, molded its identity and shaped its sense of mission at home and abroad.
For the first time on television, God in America explores the tumultuous 400-year history of the intersection of religion and public life in America, from the first European settlements to the 2008 presidential election. A co-production of AMERICAN EXPERIENCE and FRONTLINE, this six-hour series examines how religious dissidents helped shape the American concept of religious liberty and the controversial evolution of that ideal in the nation's courts and political arena; how religious freedom and waves of new immigrants and religious revivals fueled competition in the religious marketplace; how movements for social reform -- from abolition to civil rights -- galvanized men and women to put their faith into political action; and how religious faith influenced conflicts from the American Revolution to the Cold War.

Rules Liberalized for Veterans with Undiagnosed Illnesses
Application Window Extended for Five Years
WASHINGTON – Veterans of the Persian Gulf War with undiagnosed illnesses have an additional five years to qualify for benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
“Not all the wounds of war are fully understood,” said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki. “When there is uncertainty about the connection between a medical problem and military service, Veterans are entitled to the benefit of the doubt.”
A recent change in VA regulations affects Veterans of the conflict in Southwest Asia. Many have attributed a range of undiagnosed or poorly understood medical problems to their military services. Chemical weapons, environmental hazards and vaccinations are among the possible causes.
At issue is the eligibility of Veterans to claim VA disability compensation based upon those undiagnosed illnesses, and the ability of survivors to qualify for VA’s Dependency and Indemnity Compensation.
Under long-standing VA rules, any undiagnosed illnesses used to establish eligibility for VA benefits must become apparent by Dec. 31, 2011. The new change pushes the date back to Dec. 31, 2016.
Veterans or survivors who believe they qualify for these benefits should contact VA at 1-800-827-1000.
Further information about undiagnosed illnesses is available online at www.publichealth.va.gov/exposures/gulfwar and www.publichealth.va.gov/exposures/oefoif/index.asp

Veterans' Research

Birth Defect Research for Children has worked with Vietnam veterans’ families since 1986 when the first Agent Orange Class Assistance Programs were funded. Although BDRC did not have AOCAP funding, we worked with the University of South Carolina in case work that involved counseling with veterans’ families and creating a series of fact sheets on the disabilities they were reporting in their children. During this time BDRC also began the first initiative to set up the National Birth Defect Registry, partly to collect the information being reported by the veterans.

Vietnam Women's Memorial Foundation!

Dear Friends of the Vietnam Women's Memorial Foundation!

I've always promised you I would not abuse your gift to us of your email address. This message is very important to you and I hope you'll take special note of it.

In our annual newsletter last year we alerted you to a massive research study recently funded by the Veterans Administration. We're cooperating with this study offering ideas for the tools and providing access to our Sister Search database. That was one of the very special purposes of the database.

This announcement informs you of the contacts you can make to ensure you could be included in the study. Please share this information as widely as you can. The attached flyer could be copied and used as a handout at meetings or social events. Please be an advocate for this very important study. We owe it to ourselves, and to our young sisters serving in Iraq and Afghanistan to develop this body of knowledge.

Who could be in the study?

Military Vietnam era veterans who served either “in-country”, “near-country” (ie: Japan, Phillippines, Guam), or anywhere else. Please note, this means that if you were assigned in Germany, or the US but never served in country during Vietnam, there is a chance to be included. There's no assurance, but there's a chance.
Please read this carefully and consider contacting the VA.

Thank you all!

VA announcement of research involving Vietnam War era women veterans

On November 18, 2009, the Secretary of Veterans? Affairs Eric Shinseki announced that The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is launching a comprehensive study of women Veterans who served in the military during the Vietnam War to explore the effects of their military service upon their mental and physical health.

VA realizes that women Veterans require specialized programs, and this study will help the VA provide high-quality care for women Veterans of the Vietnam era. The study, which begins later this year (2010) and lasts more than four years, will contact approximately 10,000 women in a mailed survey, telephone interview and a review of their medical records.
As women Vietnam Veterans approach their mid-sixties, it is important to understand the impact of wartime deployment on health and mental outcomes nearly 40 years later. The study will assess the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental and physical health conditions for women Vietnam Veterans, and explore the relationship between PTSD and other conditions.
The VA will study women Vietnam Veterans who may have had direct exposure to traumatic events, and for the first time, study those who served in facilities near Vietnam and in the United States. These women may have had similar, but less direct exposures. Both women Veterans who receive their health care from VA and those who receive health care from other providers will be contacted to determine the prevalence of a variety of health conditions.
About 250,000 women Veterans served in the military during the Vietnam War and about 7,000 were in or near Vietnam. Those who were in Vietnam, those who served elsewhere in Southeast Asia and those who served in the United States are potential study participants.
The study represents to date the most comprehensive examination of women Veterans, and will be used to shape future research on women Veterans in future wars. Such an understanding will lay the groundwork for planning and providing appropriate services for today's younger women Veterans, as well as for the aging Veteran.

For more information on the study you may go to the following website: https://www.csp.research.va.gov/csp579.cfm,
For information on how to participate in the study please call 1-888-831-3325

H.R. 2254, the Agent Orange Equity Act of 2009 was introduced on May 5, 2009 by Congressman Bob Filner of California . He is the Chairman of the US House Committee on Veterans? Affairs. The bill currently has 253 co-sponsors in the House and is “stuck” in the Subcommittee on Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs. Chairman Filner has never called hearings on H.R. 2254 and is evasive when asked about when hearings will be held. A companion bill in the US Senate (S-1939) was introduced by Senator Susan Gillibrand of New York on October 27, 2009 and has only sixteen Senate co-sponsors. It currently sits in the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee. Senator Akaka, Chairman of that committee has not responded to requests for information. And, it was just learned today, that the Institute of Medicine will hold a day-long hearing on Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans and Agent Orange Exposure on May 3, 2010 in Washington , DC from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.

This life-saving bill is designed to extend the presumption of herbicide (Agent Orange) exposure to US Navy veterans serving offshore. Informally, we are told that members of the House are hesitant to move because of its potential cost. It is estimated that approximately 265,000 “blue water” Navy and/or US Marine Corps personnel or their surviving family members will file claims if these two bills become law.

In 1999, the Royal Australian Department of Veterans Affairs discovered Agent Orange related cancers among sailors of their Navy who had never set foot in Vietnam . Australian Sailors were developing cancer at an even higher rate than those who served on the ground. The Australians found that the distilling process, used by ships to convert salt water to potable drinking water, was using contaminated water. That process actually enhanced the effect of the dioxin producing an Agent Orange cocktail that was ingested by the sailors through their drinking water. The American VA has inexplicably rejected the study. Although the Australians have granted an exposure presumption for over five years, the Americans continue to deny the claims.

In July of 2009, the prestigious Institute of Medicine (IOM)?s committee on Agent Orange independently validated the Australian report and recommended that the exposure presumption be extended to the Navy veterans. The IOM is required by law to provide recommendations and scientific support to the Department of Veterans Affairs. The VA has rejected the IOMrecommendation without adequate explanation.

H. R. 2254 and S-1939 will correct this problem.

187th Helicopter Assault Company
Crusaders (Rat-Pack)


The 187th was next to the 45th on Tay Ninh Base Camp on the North side of us. We had Friends in the 187th and when they were hurting we were hurting.
I had a friend that got kidney problems so they shipped him back to the states, I never saw him again.

I may have been the Cobra pilot in 69 that scared you to death by the rubber trees ,those 2.75 rockets made a big bang.I was Ratpack 5 flying with the 187th.Enjoyed the pics....
Sincerely Dr. Rod

A short Reply from the WebMaster:
Alfred and Barnie (where ever he is), Thank you for Your Fire Support During that Fire Fight, and the Rush of Adrenaline...
OH WHAT A RUSH !
Five Rockets heading toward your truck, on the way to the tree line 50 feet away, scared to death is an under statement.
Then we heard your Cobra Helicopter after the Rocket Fire, Our Lives Flashed before our eyes and then some.
But without that Fire Support we may not be here today,
Thanks Again, Ratpack 5, Dr.Rod, 187th AHC.

I remember when.

I remember when we first got there, David E. Barnwell and Alfred L. Peterson, that's me, we had to learn fast on how to act.

When we had incoming rockets and mortars, in 1968 they were chinese made 107mm and 122mm rockets, some
recoiless rifle hits, you can't here those coming.
None of this was taught to us in basic training, or
AIT. Any way we learned that if you here a low pitch hum, hit it, the ground and lay flat as possible, then when you do not here anymore for a while, low crawl to the nearest bunker, never stand up cause it can get you killed. Never stand in any place more than 3-4 minutes, due to snippers around the perimeter of the base camp. When the planes landed and took off from Tay Ninh base camp, the aircraft were flown at a high angle, to keep from getting shotdown by small arms fire.

To give you an example of how jumpy a person got after a year of that. When my father picked me up at LAX, we were going down the freeway at 70 miles per hour, and I was checking every nook and cranny on both sides of the road, for snippers, convoy speed was 35-45 mph, I gave myself a head ache so I put my hands over my eyes, and my head down, when my father asked me what was wrong I said I just had a head ache. Later that day, after being awake for 72+ hours I finally got to sleep, my step mother & father were at work, when the down pitch of a police car siren sounded like an incomming rocket, I was on the floor low crawling toward the bathroom, then I looked around me and realized where I was, and I was glad no one was there to see me.

There are alot of things that we keep to our selves because no one would understand, you had to be there, and experience what happened to really understand what another person is talking about who has been there.

You see we did not have camouflauge trucks....
IF Anybody knows Rex's E-mail send it to Alfred L. Peterson

Now our X-ray Tech's nick name was Moose

One Night when we had wounded comming in on the helopad. He and Cpt. Pederson where going throughthe sachels of grenades taken off of the wounded.You see they use to put the grenades in the sachelswithout the pins in them, so all they had to dowas grab and through them. Well Moose, grabbed a grenade that the Cpt. got out, because the spoon started to flip, and he tucked it toward his stomach
and ran away toward the helopad, to put a pin in it.
The Hospital Commander heard about it, and put
Moose in for a Bronze Star, But he Never Got it.
We Figured all those guys with the Generals in
Long Bien Got Them all, At least that's what we
thought...at the time.
