I'm actually believing that no one has ever even accidentally hit that in the past 50 years. Not even one of the Kennedys! Maybe Teddy Roosevelt was the last to knock into it.

This is a comment on the galleries 'kiss the pain away' and 'show us a smile, then', which I compiled from among some of your brilliant and interesting photos over the past couple of days.
The x-ray is from 2010.
(I'll catch up with recent comments and uploads some time soon.)

It's Thanksgiving! Oliver and Koncedra Simmons have opened their home to family and friends for this happy occasion.
The call of duty assignments for the war have arrived and Airman First Class Derrick Simmons is reviewing their orders with bunkmate Army Sgt Vince Carter and Navy Aviation Fuel Handler Greg "Grape" Grapinksi. *
Carter: Wow, we're going to have to get back to the barracks quick.
Simmons: By the deployment schedule for our units, we can eat first.
Grape: It's startin' to feel like a last meal.
Carter: We'll hang in there. Tell us somethin' Derrick. You're always in the Good Book.
Simmons: In Joshua 1:9 God says, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
Carter: So, He's with us?
Simmons: The Lord Jesus says, "And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age." ** The condition of all of these promises is that we belong to Him. That we have repented, turned away from our lives as we knew them, and turned to Christ Jesus in belief that His work has accomplished all we need. That our sins will be forgiven through His work, that we will be given His righteousness, that our lives will be changed through His Spirit indwelling us, and that we will be secured in the eternal, unchanging saving love of God.
Grape: So, we gotta pray.
Simmons: No one can assure you of God's salvation but God. Seek Him if you're not right with Him or even if you're not sure. He is mighty to save and gracious to do so. He also gives this promise, "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." ***
Carter: Buddy, we better start praying now.
Christians can thank God for His sovereign care over them. God does not promise an absence of hardships, struggles or loss in this life. He promises to bring the Christian through those adversities and to deliver them into the perfection of His eternity to come. "For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison," **** "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. " *****

War memorial commemorating 165 of the Soviet prisoners of war who lost their lives in Norway during WWII.
140 of the 165 were exhumed from their graves in five other locations after the war and laid to rest again here.
About 500 prison camps were established in Norway by the German occupying power (1940-45). 150,000 prisoners of war, captured as they sought to fight Hitler's Third Reich elsewhere in Europe, were brought to Norway. They were used as slave labourers and generally subjected to inhuman conditions.
Some 13,700 of the 20,000 POWs who died in Norway were Soviet citizens.
