This is a reunion medal issued for the 6th reunion of the 20th Indiana infantry regiment of the Union Army of the Potomac in 1891. The reunion was held in Argos, Indiana. The obverse of the medal shows the bust of Gen. Phillip Kearny, their division commander. The regiment first saw action in 1862 during the Seven Days battles outside of Richmond, Va. Following that, they were involved in every battle in which the Army of the Potomac fought and were present at Lee's surrender at Appomattox. They were present at the battle of Chantilly, Va. where General Kearny was killed. The regiment lost 15 officers and 186 enlisted men killed and mortally wounded. Most likely a replacement ribbon.
From the time I was 3 until the time I was 10, I collected SW action figures. They're my little brother's now, but there was some laying around the house the other day, so I stuck some BA guns in their hands and took pics! :-P
SRI LANKA, Allankulam, June 21, 2011 - Women ride bicycles on an unpaved road in the village of Allankulam, Mullaitivu District. Despite two years of peace, a growth rate of 14% for the Northern Province according to government estimates (www.cbsl.gov.lk/pics_n_docs/02_prs/_docs/speeches/speech_... ), massive development of the A9 highway about 25 km east, this village has hardly shaken off the destruction wrought by war. The debris has been cleared long ago, but reconstruction was just limping on.

In what is said to be one of the largest protest marches in London 10s of thousands of protesters march past "The Cenotaph" in Whitehall, Central London. The Cenotaph monument was built at the end of the first world war and commemorates the dead from both world wars. The marchers are protesting about the proposed £20bn cuts to funding of the NHS and proposed privatization of large sections of the industry. Workers in the UK have paid a percentage of their wage incomes into a National Insurance Contribution fund held by the UK Government for distribution to the various health system organisations doctors - hospitals etc.. Many countries think we have a free health care system in the UK but it has been paid for through peoples wage contributions for the last 100 years (Roughly). Many people see the privatization as a way for the UK government to rid itself of parts of the system, Private industry would be able to charge patients more money as their charges rise, thus ridding the Govt. of increasing the cost to their voting public.. People argue that cutting back on healthcare will effect patients lives and wellbeing, whereas money could be saved by not spending money on more nuclear weapons.
Cold War Aviation: The Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird
No reconnaissance aircraft has operated in more hostile airspace or with such complete impunity than the SR-71, the world's fastet jet aircraft. The Blackbird was developed from the single-seat A-12, which first flew in 1962. The CIA flew the first operational A-12 sortie, a surveillance flight over North Vietnam, in 1967. While Lockheed continued to refine the A-12, the U.S. Air Force ordered an interceptor version, designated the YF-12A. Lockheed's "Skunk Works." however, proposed a "specific mission" version for conducting post-nuclear strike reconnaissance. this system evolved into the SR-71.
Blackbird crews provided important intelligence during the 1973 Yom Kippur War and the Israeli invasion of Lebanon and its aftermath, as well as pre- and post-strike imagery of the 1986 U.S. air raid on Libya. in 1987, SR-71 crews flew missions over the Persian Gulf, which revealed Iranian Silkworm missile batteries that threatened commercial shipping and American escort vessels.
At the time the SR-71 became operational, satellites were already beginning to replace reconnaissance aircraft. As the effectiveness of space-based surveillance systems and ground-based air defense grew, Air Force enthusiasm for the expensive SR-71 program waned, and operations ceased in 1990. Despite protests by military leaders, Congress briefly revived the SR-71 in 1995. However, wrangling over operating budgets soon ended the Blackbird program. The last SR-71 flight was at an airshow at Edwards Air Force Base in October 1999.
this certificate documents the record-setting flight of NASM's SR-71 on September 13, 1974. It was presented to Air Force Captain "Buck" Adams by the Federation Aeronautique Internationale, the official keeper of aviation records.

Union Forces sustained more than 275,000 wounded and more than 359,500 dead, while the Confederacy had 225,000 wounded and 258,000 dead. Battlefield adversaries Generals Robert E. Lee and William T. Sherman dad agree on the nature of war: "It is well that war is so terrible, or we should grow fond of it" (Lee); "There is many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory, but, boys, it is hell." (Sherman).
