In honor of Black History Month (February). I salute my father, a two-time war veteran (Vietnam {Conflict} War & Korean War).

It wasn't until after his death while going through his papers that I learned in addition to many medals he earned, one was a Purple Heart for an act of bravery during one of those wars.

This photo was taken of him at the Memorial for Tuskegee Airman in Walterboro, South Carolina. On this day he shared as a young boy, watching the men clean the "red tips" on their airplanes is what inspired him to want to go into the military and fly around in airplanes. Although he didn't become a pilot (he did not have a college education), he became a radio operator which placed him in the "cockpit" along with the pilot and co-pilot.

5.jūnijā Nacionālo bruņoto spēku komandieris ģenerālmajors Leonīds Kalniņš Ādažu bāzē apmeklēja starptautisko militāro mācību “Saber Strike” noslēguma svinīgo ceremoniju.

 

Latvijā starptautisko militāro mācību “Saber Strike 2017”aktīvā fāze notika Ādažu poligonā no 3. līdz 15. jūnijam. Savukārt no 9. līdz 14. jūnijam militārās mācības notika arī ārpus poligona - Amatas, Mālpils, Ogres, Ropažu, Salaspils un Stopiņu novados, kur bataljona līmeņa vienības, pārvietojoties ar bruņutehniku, veica mācību uzdevumus ar zemju īpašniekiem saskaņotās teritorijās.

 

Šogad apvienoto sauszemes un gaisa spēku mācību vadošā valsts bija Latvija. Mācībās Latvijā piedalījās vairāk nekā 2000 karavīru no Latvijas, Lietuvas, Itālijas, Norvēģijas, Lielbritānijas, Polijas un Slovākijas, kā arī ASV.

 

Mācību laikā tika uzlabota dalībvalstu sadarbība, gatavības un kaujas spējas, kā arī demonstrēta sabiedroto spēja ātri reaģēt un pārvietot spēkus visā reģionā.

 

Militārās mācības „Saber Strike” ir ikgadējas ASV vadītas apvienotās sauszemes un gaisa spēku mācības, kas tiek organizētas jau kopš 2010. gada.
