You voted, and July's photo of the month comes from Cpl. Michael Petersheim and his fellow Devil Dogs from 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment. Cpl. Petersheim took the photo on a 120 plus degree day in Kuwait. He wanted to show the family members of the 24th MEU what their Marines are up to on a day-to-day basis — getting the job done no matter how hot or dry it is. "I think the fans liked it because it shows Marines doing their jobs and getting it done the right way," he said. "No better friend. No worse enemy."

Beautiful conceptual Apollo Program artwork by North American Aviation (NAA) illustrator Gary Meyer. Mr. Meyer possibly was the illustrator for this 1963 series/family of Apollo concept illustrations. Hard to confirm, as the other NAA/Apollo illustrations have no signature visible, being either cropped out or possibly never signed(?)
Mr. Meyer's credentials, achievements and honors are absolutely amazing!!!:

HMS Plymouth is a Rothesay class frigate, which served in the United Kingdom Royal Navy from 1959 to 1988. She was named after the English city of Plymouth. Since decommissioning as a warship, HMS Plymouth has been preserved, and opened to the public at various United Kingdom ports.
Plymouth was built at Devonport Dockyard, in her namesake city of Plymouth, and was launched by Viscountess Astor on 20 July 1959.
Active service
During her lifetime, Plymouth served in a variety of locations, including the Far East and Australia. She saw action in the Cod Wars between the United Kingdom and Iceland and also the Falklands War in 1982.
Plymouth was one of the first Royal Navy ships to arrive in the South Atlantic following the Argentine invasion of the Falkland Islands and South Georgia. Plymouth alongside HMS Antrim, HMS Brilliant and HMS Endurance took part in the recapturing of South Georgia on 28 April. Plymouth landed Royal Marines from her Westland Wasp helicopters and bombarded Argentine troop positions on the island. Later her Wasp helicopter took part in an attack on the ARA Santa Fe, which was badly damaged and later captured by Royal Marines.
HMS Plymouth on fire after being attacked by five Argentine Mirage aircraft on 8 June 1982. The ship was badly damaged but survived.
After South Georgia was liberated, Plymouth rejoined the main task force, taking part in many operations before the landings at San Carlos Water. Plymouth supported troops on the ground by bombarding Argentine troop positions with her two 4.5-inch (114 mm) guns. On 8 June 8, a lone Plymouth was attacked by Dagger fighters of the Argentine Air Force, and Able seaman missileman Phil Orr managed to fire her Sea Cat missile system at them, claiming the shooting down of two aircraft. Later it was determined that no Dagger was lost in action that day. Plymouth was hit by bombs and cannon shells, causing considerable damage to the ship which was fixed by LMEM Robin Cunningham. She returned to Rosyth Dockyard after the war for repair and refit.
The following year, Plymouth served as the West Indies Guardship which included several days anchored off Belize.
After decommissioning in 1988, the Warship Preservation Trust acquired the ship for preservation. In 1990 the ship was towed to Glasgow and placed on display at a berth on the River Clyde. Subsequently she was relocated to Birkenhead for display alongside other ships and submarines. On 6 February 2006, the Warship Preservation Trust closed, citing financial difficulties and, by default, is currently owned by the Mersey Docks and Harbour Company (MDHC) following the demise of the Trust. Plymouth's future as a museum ship is now uncertain. Immediately after the demise of the Trust, rumours began circulating the Plymouth would be sold off to an independent company to be transformed into either a floating restaurant or floating hotel.
Plymouth City Council had expressed an interest in HMS Plymouth, and the HMS Plymouth Preservation Trust undertook to raise the £250,000 needed to bring the warship back to her home city. It had been hoped that the frigate could be berthed at Millbay Docks, but the offer of a berth was withdrawn in January 2007 by Associated British Ports.
A petition, on 10 Downing Street's E-petitions web site sought to encourage the UK government to provide a berth for the ship.
Points of Particular Historical Interest
The wardroom of the Plymouth was where the surrender of Argentine Forces in South Georgia was signed by Lieutenant Alfredo Astiz. Despite surrender, Astiz continued his act as a combatant. His surrender was more pro forma than actual, but he was never tried for these actions.
