Soldiers, Sailors and Marines from across Active Duty and Reserve Components on Fort Benning and in the surrounding community converged December 4-7 to compete for the German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge. One of a handful of authorized foreign awards, the badge is highly coveted for wear on the US military dress uniform. Qualifying for the badge requires proficiency in physical training, swimming, marksmanship and completion of a 12 mile ruck march. Soldiers and Drill Sergeants from the 98th Training Division (IET) not only competed for the GAFPB, but also lent their administrative, operational and instructional skills to the execution and planning of the event in coordination with the 1-46th Infantry Regiment. Congratulations to those who made the competition a success, and to those who have now earned the right to wear the badge!

Map of the Danube Park
The Danube Park is a park of 800,000 m² in area in the 22nd District of Vienna Danube city (Donaustadt).
Location
The Danube Park is conveniently located between the Wagramerstraße, the settlement Bruckhaufen, the Arbeitertrandbadstraße and the Hubertusdamm. Immediately adjacent to the originally extending to the Wagramerstraße Danube Park are the UN headquarters with the Vienna International Centre and the Austria Center Vienna, more to the south of which the Danube City and to it the Copa Copana with the Danube island to the New Danube terminating. In the north the Danube Park with the beach resorts along the Alte Donau (the old one) finds its borders.
History

Between 1871 and 1945 existed here the firing range Kagran for target practices of the military. During the Nazi period it was also used for numerous executions. It occupied a large area of today's Danube Park. In the north, near the Chinese restaurant, there is a plaque to the victims, which on 5 November 1984 was unveiled. Every year around 27 October a memorial service takes place.
By 1960, large parts of the territory of present-day Danube Park were used as landfill. To use the area after refurbishment as a recreational area was an obvious choice, since it is only 4 km air- line distance away from the city center and close to the main traffic artery to the Reichsbrücke. The City of Vienna decided in conjunction with an International Garden Show the establishment of the park. With the overall planning the former city garden director Ing. Alfred Auer was commissioned.
On 16 April 1964 the Danube Park together with the Danube Tower at the occasion of the Vienna International Garden Show (WIG 64) was opened. The Danube Park Hall was built, too. A now defunct chairlift served then to transport visitors to the exhibition. In addition, a floating stage was created and there was a own cinema. The area also was referred to as TIG grounds and later old TIG (in contrast to the WIG 74 in the park Oberlaa). Today, only few remains of the elaborate park furniture of the 1960s among the trees can bee seen.
1983 celebrated Pope John Paul II on the occasion of the Catholic Congress on a close to the Danube Tower located part, later called Papstwiese (Pope meadow), with a size of approximately 20 hectares, of the Danube Park a Holy Mass, which was attended by around 300,000 believers. For this purpose, the so-called Papal cross was erected, which remained as a temporary arrangement and in 2011 was renovated
1993 the by an old stock of silver poplars lined Irislake was renatured. During the construction of the Danube City thereby also the much needed further renovation of the areas of former landfill has been made.
Infrastructure
Train of the Donauparkbahn
The Danube Park is easily accessible by public transport, by bicycle and by car. With the U1 line of the stations Alte Donau or Kaisermuehlen/VIC or with the bus routes 20B, 90A, 91A and 92A. The Danube Park is well connected to the Vienna's cycle paths. Over the Reichsbrücke (bridge) and the Brigittenauer Brücke the park can also be reached by car. Directly at the Danube tower there is a small parking area, there are larger parking spaces along the Arbeiterstrandbadstraße, the largest being at the junction with the Danube Tower Road (Donauturmstraße).

The leaders of the 1916 uprising were executed here, including one who was too sick to stand and was tied to a chair and shot. This brutality had the effect of turning the previously-indifferent populace against the British.
I went a little overboard on carving away the teeth but, considering that I've never used this technique, I'm fairly pleased with the result.
I arrived here at the end of the "Old" Shinagawa Tokaido that lead me back to Rte 15. The Suzugamori Execution Grounds.
This place was originally right on Tokyo Bay when it became a place of death in Keian 4 (1651). Due to land reclamation (also known as paving the Earth) it's now safely quite a distance from the Bay.
This location was used in combination with Kozukappara and Itabashi Execution Grounds by the Tokugawa Shogunate during the Edo Period. It continued until Meiji 4 (1871).
So, back to being on Tokyo Bay. It was very important that this place be located near the water, because the preferred method of death was by drowning. Yes. Drowning. Those brought here were suspended head down so they might wait patiently for High Tide and not die too quickly. Estimates for the number of people killed here rise into the tens of thousands. Somber little place. I know that many were probably guilty, but I'm also sure that there were some innocent ones that suffered the same fate as the guilty over 220 years of slow death. Some historians here in Japan have estimated that no less than 40% of those that lost their lives here were found guilty of FALSE charges.
Suzugamori was quite famous in its time. Ando Hiroshige created a woodblock print of it. Many Kabuki plays were written about it and one of them, called Gozonji Suzugamori is STILL being performed!
Although also just a remnant, a Temple once stood nearby called Daikyo-ji, which was built to calm the souls of the executed (read: keep the angry souls of the innocent from coming back to wreak havoc on the bastards that sent them here).
It is listed as Number 55 of the "One Hundred Scenic Spots in Shinagawa."
My friend Cristen put a caption on this photo I took at my high school's Holiday Fair...thingy, from 2001. It's when elementary school kids come and we give them SUPER FUN TIMES!!! Or attempt to.
There are several reasons behind the increasing demand for the warehouse execution software in the market. It is proving to be a highly beneficial solution in driving higher efficiency, productivity, and throughputs within the facility.

The Fosse Ardeatine massacre (Italian: Eccidio delle Fosse Ardeatine) was a mass execution carried out in Rome on 24 March 1944 by German occupation troops during the Second World War as a reprisal for a partisan attack conducted on the previous day in central Rome.

Since when did tweeting about an execution become socially acceptable. Yes, the now deceased was a horrid murder, but when is it okay to publicize the act in such a manner. But by the way, thanks for the update?
The Rieme-Oostakker Place of Execution is the place in the Ghent district of Oostakker where 66 resistance fighters were executed by the Naxi occupation force between February 8, 1943 and August 24, 1944.
This memory is also kept alive the 20 resistance fighters who were killed on the execution site at Rieme . That site was destroyed in 1998 during the construction of the Kluizendok of Ghent Port.
The executions were carried out in secret and the victims were buried anonymously. Some of the resistance fighters killed in Rieme was found in a mass grave in Hechtel.
Moreover, there were German soldiers and Belgian criminals also shot. Because of these circumstances, it is still unclear how many people were killed. After the Liberation the mass grave was uncovered in Oostakker. The victims were identified and buried in their hometowns.
The crosses on the ground thus have a symbolic meaning. Nevertheless, the execution place is a cemetery since in 1952 the remains of 15 decapitated West Flemish political prisoners were moved here from their graves in Munich.
On the grounds is a railway carriage which carried hundreds of Belgians to concentration camps in Germany and Poland. In 1966 the execution place gained the status of a protected landscape.
