**DO NOT USE WITHOUT PERMISSION**
That would be USMC Major Kenneth D. Bailey's Congressional Medal of Honor awarded to him posthumously for actions during WWII.
The citation reads:
For extraordinary courage and heroic conduct above and beyond the call of duty as Commanding Officer of Company C, 1st Marine Raider Battalion, during the enemy Japanese attack on Henderson Field, Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands, on 12-13 September 1942. Completely reorganized following the severe engagement of the night before, Maj. Bailey's company, within an hour after taking its assigned position as reserve battalion between the main line and the coveted airport, was threatened on the right flank by the penetration of the enemy into a gap in the main line. In addition to repulsing this threat, while steadily improving his own desperately held position, he used every weapon at his command to cover the forced withdrawal of the main line before a hammering assault by superior enemy forces. After rendering invaluable service to the battalion commander in stemming the retreat, reorganizing the troops and extending the reverse position to the left, Maj. Bailey, despite a severe head wound, repeatedly led his troops in fierce hand-to-hand combat for a period of 10 hours. His great personal valor while exposed to constant and merciless enemy fire, and his indomitable fighting spirit inspired his troops to heights of heroic endeavor which enabled them to repulse the enemy and hold Henderson Field. He gallantly gave his life in the service of his country.
A nearby letter reads:
My dear Mrs. Bailey:
It is a source of profound regret to me and to his brother officers of the corps that your husband, Major Kenneth D. Bailey, U.S. Marine Corps, lost his life in action against the enemies of his country and I wish to express my deepest sympathy to you and members of your family in your great loss.
There is little I can say to lessen your grief but it is my earnest hope that the knowledge of your husband's splendid record in the service and the thought that he nobly gave his life in the performance of his duty may in some measure comfort you in this sad hour.
Sincerely Yours,
H.Schmidt
Major General, U.S.M.C.,
Acting Commandant, U.S. Marine Corps.

Major Kenneth D. Bailey
October 21, 1910 - September 27, 1942
On this day, Wednesday, November 10, 1943 (the 168th birthday of the United States Marine Corps), we want to pay special tribute to Danvilleland's outstanding Marine hero - Major Kenneth D. Bailey. Just a few days ago The Silver Star Medal for bravery in action was awarded posthumously to Major Bailey. The Congressional Medal of Honor previously had been awarded posthumously on September 13, 1943 for extraordinary heroism against the Japanese in the battle for Henderson Field on Guadalcanal in which he met his death September 27, 1942. Major Bailey was accredited by his commanding officer with being as much individually responsible as any man for saving Henderson Field from recapture by the Japanese.
Major Bailey was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus D. Bailey, 102 Michigan Ave. He was born October 21, 1910, attended a local grade school and graduated from Danville High School in 1930. Following his graduation from the University of Illinois in 1934 Major Bailey joined the Marine Corps, being commissioned a second lieutenant in 1935. He helped condition and teach thousands of young men into fine, well-trained fearless Marines.
Major Bailey volunteered and was accepted as a member of the First Marine raider Battalion organized at Quantico, Virginia, shortly after Pearl Harbor. A short time later he went into action and was always a fearless, well liked leader. His dauntless courage and complete disregard for his own personal safety were in keeping with the highest tradition of the U.S. Naval Service.
This page published in recognition of the many brave deeds by Kenneth D. Bailey on this 168th birthday of the Marine Corps.
AL-ASMA-UL-HUSNA (THE BEAUTIFUL NAMES OF ALLAH)
The most beautiful names belong to Allah, so call on Him thereby. (7:180)
Those who believe, and whose hearts find satisfaction in the remembrance of Allah, for without doubt in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction. (13:28) AN EXPLANATION OF THE PERFECT NAMES AND ATTRIBUTES OF GOD
It is not possible to perfectly translate the 99 names of Allah from their original Arabic into English. However, here are some fairly close explanations."He is Allah (God), the Creator, the Originator, The Fashioner, to Him belong the most beautiful names: whatever is in the heavens and on earth, do declare His praises and Glory. And He is the Exalted in Might, The Wise. (Quran 59:24)"The most beautiful names belong to Allah (God): so call on Him by them;..." (Quran 7:180)^= letter ain of arabic '= letter hamza of arabic
1. Allah
Allah, He who has the Godhood which is the power to create the entities.
Allah is the Arabic word for God. It is compounded of "Al", the definite article 'the', and "illah", meaning "god". Therefore, Allah literally means "The God" -- somewhat parallel to the capitalized "God" in English. The name Allah is used by Muslims world-wide, as well as Arabic-speaking Christians, Jews, and others. It is written in Arabic as اللهFrom an Islamic point of view, Allah is the special name of God and is the most precious name because it is not a descriptive name like the other 99 Names of Allah, but the name of God's own presence. It is impossible to alter the word in Arabic; such as create a plural form (gods) or change the gender. The Islamic concept of mankind's place in the universe hinges on the notion that God is the only true [reality]. There is nothing permanent other than God. God is considered eternal and "uncreated", whereas everything else in the universe is "created."Allah is considered by Muslims to be omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscent. Islam teaches that other religions have, in one way or another, distorted and nullified a pure and proper belief in Almighty God by neglecting His true teachings and mixing them with man-made ideas.Muslims do not try to draw or depict God in any way, according to Islamic belief it could lead to idol worship. Instead, we focus on His 99 Names and attributes that are stated in the Quran. Nearly one third of the book is used describing God's attributes and actions. Also, "Qudsi Hadith" are special recorded sayings of Muhammad to Muslims where he quotes what God says to him. The 99 "Attributes" are frequently written in calligraphic Arabic as a permissible decoration, which adorns mosques and homes of Muslims.Here is an example of the name "Allah" written in simple Calligraphic Arabic:

He was sitting all by himself under the shades of the Sea Promenade in Tel Aviv. Our eyes met and I asked whether I might make a picture of him. When he said his name was Marcel I asked if he spoke French. Yes, he did, so we switched from Hebrew into French.
I thought at first that Marcel was a homeless man. He looked lost, somewhat. There was something about him very vulnerable and lonesome.
We started chatting casually. He said he came from Algeria to Israel some 50 years ago. Then, very suddenly, this poor man told me his life tragedy. It was as if he was just waiting there for someone to come, listen to him and be witness to his sory.
"It was all over the papers at the time", he started to recall.
"My daughter was assassinated in Thailand by her husband", he said in a quiet voice and looked suddenly so much older than a minute earlier.
I was shocked and overwhelmed by empathy for him.
"It happened two years ago while they were on a trip there", he continued to reminisce.
"He got an attack", Marcel answered my question to what had happened to his son-in-law to act in that horrible way.
He pointed with his hand to his head, suggesting madness, craziness...
"Where is he now?"
"He got a fifty year sentence verdict in Thailand".
"How old was your daughter?"
"She was only 22."
"What was her name?" I asked, absorbed in his sad story. I wanted to know more.
"Carole," Marcel said in a softer voice.
"Did they have children?"
"Yes, three small children", Marcel said, "my wife has been taking care of them since".
"This has been so hard on us, such a tragedy...", Marcel murmured, almost to himself, but I felt that he was comforted by my being there with him in that extreme sad moment.
We talked a bit more, he asked about me, where I lived...
I tried to comfort him, but I doubt there was anything one could do to ease his pain.
When I bid him farewell I wished him strength to continue on his life journey. He smiled gently.
"Merci, Monsieur Marcel. Au revoir. Que Dieu vous aide."
"Merci, Madame."
And we parted, but I know I'll look him up next time when I walk the Sea Promenade.
Every person has a story to tell, sometimes, their stories are so poignant, more than just "regular" stories.
How do people have the courage to face life every morning with so much suffering in their heart and soul...
What fate has installed for each one of us remains a mystery, probably best so.

Kenyay Barbour, 24, was diagnosed with Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorder at age two. A participant in UCP programs since childhood, Kenyay accepted his dream job “as part of the Hershey Team” when he was hired at Houlihan’s of Hershey in October 2018. Just a few months earlier, following pre-vocational skills training and encouragement by UCP, Kenyay’s mother Dee agreed to give supported employment a try. UCP Employment Specialist and Job Coach Brittany Hill encouraged Kenyay to take the lead on where he wanted to work and what kind of work he wanted to do. Together, they completed application after application. Having been told multiple times that Kenyay would never be “employable,” Dee was skeptical. It was just a matter of weeks before the first call for an interview came from Houlihan’s. And the rest, as they say, is history. Today, Kenyay is thrilled to be among the first 60 out of 145 staff members called back to work following COVID-19 furloughs in spring 2020. Houlihan’s Assistant General Manager Felicia McCorkel said there was excitement about bringing him back. “First and foremost, his positivity and infectious smile. Just seeing him and knowing how much he wants to be here put things in perspective for the rest of us.” Lead Server Assistant Rosalie Mcleggan said Kenyay is like family. “All the other Server Assistants were glad to see him called back to work. But it’s not just the staff. The ‘regulars’ love him too!” UCP Employment Specialist Chris Hartman returned to Houlihan’s with Kenyay, to help him process the changes in operations and protocol demanded in the midst of a pandemic. Now there are temperature checks before clocking in, face coverings, and a number of other additional precautions. But it’s all good. Chris says of Kenyay, “He’s very independent and adjusted easily and quickly to all the changes. I was impressed with how well he reacclimated to the job—and the changes—after being off for four months.” In return, the job has helped Kenyay grow from an unsure high school graduate to a confident, outgoing young man living life without limits.
This is my first Wolfdog, the one that my flickr site is named after. He was a very well trained dog, we rescued him from the SPCA. His previous owners loved him but did not have the means to build him a proper enclosure or walk him enough so he became a run-away.
You see these around town; someone bothered to get on their knees, steal the "M" and attempt to erase this, but it didn't work. The message is clear.

Bethartoli Himal, as seen here from Auli. She is not the highest mountain around and is very commonly mistaken for Trishul, but the sheer beauty of the three peaked mountain is breathtaking. Seen here in the first light of the morning, she protects the Goddess, Nanda Devi, facing North and East, basking in the sun! She forms the outer wall of the Nanda Devi Sanctuary to the south.
To the east of Bethartoli lies Nanda Ghunti and Nanda Kot. To the North West lies Dunagiri and Changabang. North of this peak is Nanda Devi, safely located within the walls of the Inner Sanctuary. You cannot go there.
