Cold War Museum is located in the former Soviet Union`s complex of ballistic missile silo launch. Since 1963 up to 1978, there had been deployed four medium- range ballistic missiles SS-4, armed with 2- megaton power thermonuclear warheads. These missiles, together with the nearby terrestrial platforms of analogue missile launching, had created a common Soviet nuclear armament group in Lithuania, which was able to destroy all the Europe.

Concert de War Injury au Bar'Hic pour le festival I'm From Rennes : carte blanche à l'asso Face To Face. 2 octobre 2013
This is the stop sign off of Grande Ave & Ayd Mill Rd in St. Paul. It's been up there for a number of years now. I wonder who the person that did that is asking to "Stop War"...
I found out about War Eagle Mill from a fellow Flickr buddy back sometime last year and since I'm an Auburn University grad, naturally I found it to be a lovable place just because of the name. For those who don't know, Auburn's "battle cry" is War Eagle!
With me visiting Northwest Arkansas for a conference with Wal-Mart this week, I made sure to take some evening time to visit the area.

A hero of war
Yeah that's what I'll be
And when I come home
They'll be damn proud of me
Hero of War, Rise Against
Februaristaking
De razzia van Amsterdam op 22 en 23 februari 1941 was de eerste in Nederland in de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Hierbij werden meer dan 400 Joodse mannen in Amsterdam opgepakt en gedeporteerd naar kamp Schoorl. De razzia's vormden de aanleiding tot de Februaristaking. Een unieke gebeurtenis, want het is het enige moment waarop de Nederlanders zo massaal in protest kwamen tegen de anti-Joodse maatregelen van de bezetter.
In geen ander land heeft een dergelijk publiek protest tegen de Jodenvervolging plaatsgevonden. Jaarlijks wordt de Februaristaking herdacht bij het beeld "De Dokwerker". Dit op het door Mari Andriessen gemaakte bronzen beeld van een stakende havenarbeider symboliseer het verzet van de gewone man tegen de bezetter.
February strike
The raid of Amsterdam on February 22 and 23, 1941 was the first in the Netherlands in World War II. More than 400 Jewish men in Amsterdam were arrested and deported to camp Schoorl. The raids prompted the February strike. A unique event, because it is the only time when the Dutch protested so massively against the anti-Jewish measures of the occupying forces.
No other public protest against the persecution of the Jews has taken place in any other country. The February Strike is commemorated annually at the statue "The Dock Worker". This bronze statue of a striking dockworker, made by Mari Andriessen, symbolizes the resistance of the common man against the occupier.

Loaded LSM on the stormy waters of the Yellow Sea heading toward Okinawa, Sept 1945. These were small ships, 2/3rd the length of a football field, my Grandfather was a commander of this vessel during World War 2.
At the Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery and Memorial in Belgium, covering 57 acres, rest 7,992 of United States military dead, most of whom lost their lives during the advance of the U.S. armed forces into Germany. Their headstones are arranged in gentle arcs sweeping across a broad green lawn that slopes gently downhill. A highway passes through the cemetery. West of the highway is an overlook that affords an excellent view of the rolling Belgian countryside, once a battlefield.
To the east is the long colonnade that, with the chapel and map room, forms the memorial overlooking the burial area. The chapel is simple, but richly ornamented. In the map room are two maps of military operations, carved in black granite, with inscriptions recalling the achievements of their forces. On the rectangular piers of the colonnade are inscribed the names of 450 missing. Rosettes mark the names of those since recovered and identified. The seals of the states and territories are also carved on these piers.
The cemetery possesses great military historic significance as it holds fallen Americans of two major efforts, one covering the U.S. First Army's drive in September 1944 through northern France, Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg into Germany, and the second covering the Battle of the Bulge. It was from the temporary cemetery at Henri-Chapelle that the first shipments of remains of American war dead were returned to the United States for permanent burial. The repatriation program began on July 27, 1947 at a special ceremony at the cemetery when the disinterment began. The first shipment of 5,600 American war dead from Henri-Chapelle left Antwerp, Belgium the first week of October 1947. An impressive ceremony was held, with over 30,000 Belgian citizens attending, along with representatives of the Belgium government and senior Americans.

When JJ Abrams took the helm of Disney’s revived Star Wars films, there was some talk of bringing the franchise back to its roots with the use of practical effects instead of making everything CGI. Nowhere is that more clear than with BB-8, a new droid character debuting in the upcoming The Fo...
