In addition, the air defenses at Guam are also being improved. There will now be three different air defense systems. These include a THAAD battery (24 missiles, three launchers and a fire control communications system). This will include an X-Band radar. The gear for each battery costs $310 million. The six meter (18 foot) long THAAD missiles weigh 836 kg (1,400 pounds). This is about the same size as the Patriot anti-aircraft missile, but twice the weight of the anti-missile version of the Patriot. The range of THAAD is 200 kilometers, max altitude is 150 kilometers, and it is intended for short (like SCUD) or medium range (up to 2,000 kilometer) range ballistic missiles. China is about 3,000 kilometers from Guam. THAAD has been in development for two decades. THAAD is a step up from the Patriot PAC-3 anti-missile (which is an anti-aircraft missile adapted to take out incoming missiles). The PAC-3 works, but it has limited (20 kilometers) range. Patriot also fires anti-aircraft missiles, with a range of 70 kilometers.
Finally, there will be several batteries of SLAMRAAM. This system mounts four U.S. Air Force AMRAAM radar guided air-to-air missile on a hummer. A firing battery consists of one fire-control center, a radar (with a 75 kilometer range) and four to eight hummers carrying missiles. The missiles have an effective range of 25 kilometers, and can knock down cruise missiles, as well as helicopters. The need to knock down cruise missiles gives SLAMRAAM a similar mission to THAAD and Patriot; to knock down Chinese missiles. China is seen as the most likely threat to the many military facilities on the island.
Guam is about 7,000 kilometers west of Hawaii. The civilian population is 173,000 and military facilities include a major U.S. Air Force base, a port for U.S. naval forces in the central Pacific, and a base for SOCOM (Special Operations Command). The air force bases heavy bombers (B-52s and B-2s), fighters and tankers, plus Global Hawk UAVs. The navy has maritime patrol aircraft. The U.S. Coast Guard also has a base, as Guam is an American territory, and all residents are U.S. citizens. The army has several support facilities there. Aside from the military, the main economic activity is tourism, especially for visitors from East Asia.

As almost all the other AJC blogs have already done, my blog is relocating to a different piece of online real estate. I'm not moving far, and if the only way you read my blog is by clicking a link from the home page, you won't notice any difference until you arrive.
But if you have my blog bookmarked or new posts delivered through an RSS feed — and I highly recommend doing one or both, for the sake of your convenience and my page views — you will need to adjust your settings. Starting Thursday, April 4, the new coordinates will be:

Forget about banks being Too Big to Fail — or, per Attorney General Eric Holder, Too Big to Jail. As the Obama administration tries to restart some of the same bad decision-making that created the last housing crisis, any banks coerced into re-inflating a housing bubble may be able to say the system was Too Rigged for Them to Fail/Be Jailed. From the Washington Post:
The Obama administration is engaged in a broad push to make more home loans available to people with weaker credit, an effort that officials say will help power the economic recovery but that skeptics say could open the door to the risky lending that caused the housing crash in the first place.
President Obama's economic advisers and outside experts say the nation's much-celebrated housing rebound is leaving too many people behind, including young people looking to buy their first homes and individuals with credit records weakened by the recession.
In response, administration officials say they are working to
Americans have heard dramatic, bellicose pronouncements from North Korea so many times before that, if you're like me, you tend to dismiss them as part our natural background noise. It'd almost be more noteworthy not to hear them.
That said, the recent saber-rattling by Kim Jong Un, the young ruler who assumed the throne from his late father about 15 months ago, is even more shrill than usual. While the war between North K0rea and South Korea has technically continued for the past 60 years, as hostilities were only halted by an armistice rather than ended by a peace treaty, North Korea's state-run media late last week carried this warning:
Any issues regarding North and South will be treated in accordance to the state of war. … The condition, which was neither war nor peace, has ended.
Is it time to worry this time is different?
I've read of no analysts who believe North Korea has the wherewithal — yet — to carry out its threats against U.S. soil, whether that means Guam,

As Georgia prepares to battle for our rightful access to more water, it seems Tennessee is preparing to defend itself. Apparently, the state's leaders have even enlisted Andrew Exum, a veteran of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars and native Tennessean who blogs about "small wars and insurgencies" at Abu Muqawama, to design its strategy.
Exum begins by outlining what he believes to be our natural line of attack, and his plan for defending against it:
The first course of action in the face of Georgian aggression is a static defense. The main avenue of approach for any Georgian invasion force would be I-75. About a mile past the state line, the highway splits into I-24 heading west into Chattanooga and I-75 northbound heading toward Knoxville.
There's a bend in the highway where all northbound cars must slow down as they turn west toward Chattanooga. It's a natural place to construct an L-shaped ambush. I'd place .50-caliber machine guns on the north side of the split, in the

The cheating scandal at Atlanta Public Schools led Friday to the place many of us believed it would and should: indictments for 35 administrators and teachers implicated in the scandal. If this seems too harsh a step, take some time to re-familiarize yourself with the details of the case. The answer-changing parties at which teachers made sure their students made the grade; the spy-novel-worthy actions certain APS employees took to make sure they evaded test-security measures; administrators' ignoring and covering up complaints about potential cheating — the story is astoundingly shameful.
But don't forget that a similar pattern of cheating was found hundreds of miles away in Dougherty County, while incompetent school boards in Clayton and DeKalb counties have brought their systems to the brink of losing accreditation. (Atlanta's own board nearly did the same in the wake of the cheating scandal.) Meanwhile, across the state, many schools and school systems commit the more
Shortly before the 2013 legislative session ended, the House and Senate passed an ethics bill by a combined vote of 225-0. Such overwhelming, bipartisan actions often are hailed. Should this one be?
Before I answer, let me offer an analogy to kicking a field goal. No, not the one involving Charlie Brown and Lucy.
I mean the one Sen. Josh McKoon made just before HB 142 passed in his chamber. The Columbus Republican has been an early and tireless champion of ethics reform. After enumerating the final bill's problems, including the way it came into being, McKoon explained why he'd vote for it anyway:
"It's not everything we need to do, but it's definitely putting points on the board," McKoon said. "Tonight, let's put this one through the uprights, but let's be prepared to come back next year to score a touchdown on ethics reform."
I sympathize with the position McKoon found himself in. I also think his analogy should go further.

There's a lot of talk about how Republicans need to re-brand themselves on social issues. I'm not convinced that's more important for the GOP than shedding its image of being too closely aligned with Big Business.
There are three key ways in which Republicans lost credibility since 2000. One, as Peggy Noonan argued recently, was the 2003 Iraq invasion. Another was the increase in federal spending that took place during George W. Bush's presidency; spending accelerated toward the end, when Democrats were in control of Congress, but it was rising too swiftly well before Nancy Pelosi became speaker of the House.
The third was the 2008 bailout of Wall Street. The party that supposedly champions free enterprise went along with using hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars to save financial institutions that acted recklessly. Some Republicans argued then, and still argue now, that the alternative would have been worse. But the larger point is that the nexus of Big Business,

It appears we have an ethics bill.
Speaker David Ralston just confirmed from the House side what the AJC had heard from senators earlier today. Namely, that the two sides, urged along by Gov. Nathan Deal, agreed in the wee hours of Thursday to a compromise between the two main* ethics bills they each passed earlier in the session.
The text of the bill has not yet been made available publicly, but the compromise appears to have been chiefly along two grounds:
First, the House agreed to drop its insistence on a ban on one-on-one lobbyist gifts to legislators and accept the Senate's preference for a cap — albeit a cap of $75 rather than $100. In exchange, the House won more carve-outs it included in its original version of the bill, HB 142. Those exceptions include gifts (think meals) provided by lobbyists to entire caucuses, the nature of which is subject to approval by each chamber's ethics committee, as well as allowances for spouses and staff members to accompany legislators

The final day of the legislative session is upon us, with a variety of high-profile bills from guns to ethics to education yet to be decided. But legislators already have taken what could become one of their most consequential actions this year.
And it's not even a law.
HR 4 is a resolution calling for the settlement of something that, at least until recently, you probably believed was settled long ago: the Georgia-Tennessee border.
Turns out, HR 4 is the 10th such resolution our General Assembly has passed since 1887 seeking to correct a surveyor's error in marking the border two centuries ago. This time, however, the Legislature explicitly threatens legal action if Tennessee will not resolve the dispute with us by the end of next year's legislative session.
You can practically hear the guffaws ringing through national news stories about HR 4. To read some of them, you'd think even a meth-addled Don Quixote would know better than to accept this quest.

Phil Gingrey today joined fellow congressman Paul Broun in the race to represent Georgia in the U.S. Senate. No surprise there, nor will there be when Jack Kingston makes it a trio of House members trying to move to the other end of the Capitol.
But the field is highly unlikely to remain at three — and it's anyone's guess who will be the fourth person to enter the race.
Who do you want to join the 2014 Georgia Senate race next?
Total Voters: 167
Congressman Tom Price was once thought to be a lock to enter the race, but now I'd put the odds of his running at less than 50 percent. He won't make an announcement until mid-May and is said to be truly undecided, but the thinking is that he would be risking a great deal of upward

Well, instead of creating with fiber, I am laying sod. In this heat and humidity, it's so easy to get sick. It's exhausting. Now for an evening of thread and needle work.
Good work, Robbin. One of these days I'll try my hand at crochet...
Today: chemo caps, crotchet phone case, pillows for cancer patients, putting together pillow scraps into something new. Ok, ok. Housework too.
I am like you Mimu. Some are experiments (which can be incorporated with other projects later), and some are so fun, I just do them again and again. Through wonderful groups like this, we can broaden our horizons without commiting to sailing over them. This is a covering I am crotcheting for my Android phone, which never fits cell phone covers. The pattern is easy.
Crotchet beginning with an odd number of chains. Single crotchet, beginning in second chain from hook, entire first row. Second row alternates with single crotchet, then extended treble (wrap hook as for treble, pull up thread, only take first stitch under 1 loop, all the rest 2 at a time), ending in single crotchet. The treble is pushed forward.
This is the new thread at Hobby Lobby. It works up beautifully. After trying it, had to go get all they had in stock.
Welcome, Bonnie Cook. We look forward to your work and input.
Robbin, I suppose that we each have our own way of getting to the finish line more often. I find that art challenges can be inspiring and get you to finish and then start anew. Sometimes not finishing for me is that I am experimenting. When I hit on something I want to keep doing, I create finished work resulting from the experiments. Just keep going and going and going.
Mimu, do you think it will help me get to the finish line more often? For all our members, go get 'em! Waitng to finish usually incudes waiting to move to a new city and state, waiting for supplies, waiting for the store to open, and most often, waiting for someone to "play" with.
Welcome Robbin. I love everything that you are working on. Your " art studio " is wonderful. Thanks for joining.
I have my fingers in numerous pies. I love creating. Here are a couple of things in progress. I promise you, I am working on all of them, even though there are over a hundred.
These are fan blades. I have a long way to go on this piece. Next I begin the embroidery. This is going to be an art quilt. At this point, only the reverse aplique is done. The outer edge of the blades was inspired by tag art.
I make lots of funky shops on mini quilts. Each is embellished with an assortment of beading, embroidery, yo-yos and more. This is "The Art Studio". Another is called "The Fly Zone", and is about fishing. We are packing to move, but there will be more soon.

You get churan as prasad(!) at the local temple on account of Janmashtmi!
You feel puzzled, amuzed, bewildered, short of words (Oh really! Is it?)
You wonder, why not mithai? Why churan? Why not mithai? Why not churan?
You taste it. Because you anyways taste everything at least once!
And then you taste it again!
And then you taste it again!
And then it gets over!!!
Gosh! It's so tasty! Delectable! What's mithai?! Word sounds familiar, huh?
Do we see PA heading to the temple at least a couple of times more today… For prasad. Of course!
The world can wait.
Today's Happiness = Churan

Letter to the editor: Criticism of letter failed to disprove any of its points
This is a response to Tom Tracy's letter from April 12, in which he responded to my letter regarding this year's legislative session. He attacked my credibility, but failed to disprove a single thing I said. Just because someone disagrees with what I say does not make it "filled with inaccuracies and misinformation" as Tracy claimed.By By Brad Mills, Jamestown , April 24, 2013
Letter to the editor: Senators' votes on gun law were disappointing
I am very disappointed with the votes Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D, and Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., made on the background check amendment.By Susan Beehler, Mandan, N.D. , April 22, 2013
Letter to the editor: Hoeven and Heitkamp did well with votes for gun rights
The U.S. Senate recently rejected universal gun background checks, thanks partly to Sens. John Hoeven, R-N.D., and Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D. However, President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-N.D., will continue attacking the Second Amendment.By By Duane Stahl, Valley City, N.D. , April 20, 2013

Letter to the editor: Lawmakers made abortion decisions based on fear
Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem rightly expressed great concern that the Legislature should provide an appropriation to defend anti-abortion legislation that will unquestionably be challenged in the courts.By By Dina Butcher, Bismarck , April 18, 2013
Letter to the editor: Anti-abortion leaders should lead by example with funds
Creative minds in the North Dakota Attorney General's Office shouldn't have a problem coming up with funds for litigation of anti-reproductive justice legislation. Liberty Counsel has already offered legal help to defend the laws.By By Ron Saeger, Fargo , April 17, 2013
Letter to the editor: Supporters of gay marriage have not won this fight

Letter to the editor: Whatever happened to anti-war leaders?
Something is wrong in America. The last president to go the extra mile for peace was President George H.W. Bush (the elder) preceding the Gulf War back around 1990. He got about 95 percent of the world's support and much military help from other countries, including Arab countries, before expelling Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait after he had more or less tried to annex Kuwait.By By Mike Shockman, LaMoure, N.D. , April 12, 2013
Letter to the editor: Letter criticizing GOP, laws to limit abortion is wrong
Once again Brad Mills has written a letter to the editor (April 4) blasting the Republicans in the North Dakota Legislature. As he has done in the past, his letter is filled with misinformation, inaccuracies and, unfortunately, a willingness to launch a somewhat vicious partisan attack.By By Tom J. Tracy, Jamestown , April 12, 2013
Letter to the editor: Morals are going to pot and must be restored in America
Morals? This is my opinion, others have theirs. Morals in this country, pardon the pun, are going to pot! Recent history has produced a lot of issues. Among them; abortion, illegal drugs, gay rights, and now a pill that will encourage unprotected sex among young people. Who pays for this lack of morality? The government, we the people, society or all of the above? Some is paid by various government agencies, others by private insurance companies.By By Larry Pecka Sr., Jamestown , April 12, 2013
Letter to the editor: It's time to bring our service members home from wars
We were taken into two wars on lies. It's a shame that former President George W. Bush and former Vice President Dick Cheney made sure the information they received from Secret Service and the Intelligence Department was changed to take us into war. The department could not believe the information they received should have been used to take us into two wars.By By Caroline Eli, Carrington, N.D. , April 09, 2013
Letter to the editor: Fargo diversion project is not the best option against floods

Letter to the editor: All Iraq war did was kill Iraqi people and waste money
Long after President George H. W. Bush's march into Iraq to prevent Saddam Hussein from taking over oil-rich Kuwait and baby Bush's seeking revenge for his daddy's unfinished work by finishing off bad ol' Saddam, I was wondering what our peace-loving action has produced, which is not much according to Iraqi-American writer and activist Jonathon Azaziah.By Cory Christofferson, Hamar, N.D. , April 08, 2013
Letter to the editor: Article on Heitkamp's stance was too much opinion

Yeah Verizon can be the Devil. AJ had a great game...again. Back to back awsome starts....in fact a awsome season...can the Cy Young be in his future?
Pirates should get a pass on the retaliation...for this series. They didn't get to face the Reds Friday after Cutch was hit. Saturday, the bench warnings came in the second, and neutered any attempt they may have been thinking. Sunday they couldn't afford the possibility of AJ getting tossed.
It's coming, the retaliation you crave. Circumstances prevented it this weekend.
Are you still up for your August 10th-16th Guest Starring run on the SOG/GOG threads?
Awsome! The threads have been a blast this season. Looking forward to the Guest Appearance.
It is so hot in Ventura right now...what would be a good solution...ah...beeeeeerrr.....
Casting my Vote for Erik "First Month" Bedard....he was dealing tonight against a pretty good hitting DBacks team...i liked the increased tempo Bedard was using...he did not seem behind in the count as much tonight...
HM to JHay for playing some GREAT D at 3b
HM to Cutch for causing havoc in scoring the first Pirate run....
At one point he retired 17 straight...the 18th batter was thrown out at second on a great throw from Marte in Left to end the inning....Bedard was pretty darn good tonight....
"Need to borrow my limo and driver?"
Not quite sure if you meant this for me, but I have two rules in life:
1. I refuse to join any club or organization that would accept someone like me as a member.
2. I would never consider ruining your rep amongst the beautiful people by doing anything other than washing your limo.
The Pirates really needed a good start from him tonight & he delivered.
He was great on a night when he needed to be great. If he even gives up one run, maybe Arizona uses different pitchers in 8th.
I could see him slinging his slow curves up there with his ho hum look on his face.

Eric Williams is proud of his scoring average this season, but if the Coconut Creek High School senior wants to play college basketball, he needs to pay more attention to another statistic: his grade point average.
Grades moved into the forefront of importance this year for junior Jerry Westbrooks, the leading scorer for Pope John Paul II High School basketball team in Boca Raton. Since his sophomore year, he has improved his GPA from 2.2 (based on a 4.0 scale) to 3.1.

Photo of George Washington McNugget from eBay listing page.
March 6, 2012 1:06 PM
DAKOTA CITY, Neb. (AP) — Call it McWashington.
A Nebraska woman has sold a three-year-old McDonald's Chicken McNugget that resembles President George Washington for $8,100 on eBay.
The Sioux City Journal in Iowa says bidding ended just after 11:30 a.m. Monday.
Rebekah Speight of Dakota City sold the McNugget to raise money for a drive to raise $15,000 and send 50 children to summer church camp in Sioux City.
Speight says her children didn't eat the chicken during a McDonald's visit three years ago. She was about to toss it, then spotted Washington's resemblance. Speight stashed the McNugget in her freezer.
eBay had temporarily taken down the auction last month because it violated rules regulating expired food.
She later received an email saying the site was "willing to make exceptions to help your cause."

From the moment you arrive at the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa, you can feel that there's something special about this particular Marriott. Here is a world that is both refreshing and timeless with warm and friendly service from people who seem genuinely pleased to have you as a guest. In the middle of busy Waikiki it is an oasis of calm with it's more than five acres of tropical greenery and lush plantings - and just steps away from world famous Waikiki Beach. The resort just recently completed a $60 million renovation of all their rooms and common areas and the result has been well received by their many guests who are repeat visitors.
Rising above arcades of shops and tropical courtyards are 2 towers of very spacious air conditioned hotel rooms, beautifully decorated in soothing colors with a tropical motif. All the rooms feature private furnished lanais offering breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, the City or Diamond Head. Luxurious amenities include Marriott's Revive Bedding Collection with designer duvets, 300 count linens and down pillows, wireless internet access (fee), cable/satellite TV, mini refrigerator, hair dryer, voice mail, coffee/tea maker, clock radio, complimentary toiletries,
There are various dining options at the resort, including the Kuhio Beach Grill, offering casual dining for breakfast and dinner featuring Pacific Rim cuisine and the Moana Terrace which overlooks Waikiki Beach offering open air dining, cocktails and Hawaiian entertainment, open from late morning to late evening. Arancino de Mare is a charming indoor/outdoor Italian restaurant, with a great Italian wine list and freshly made Italian specialties such as pastas and pizzas, open for breakfast, lunch & dinner.
Sansei Seafood Restaurant & Sushi Bar and d.k. Steakhouse are considered a double concept restaurant, with Sansei offering new-wave sushi and contemporary Asian-Pacific cuisine and d.k Steakhouse offering dry aged beef and classic steakhouse cuisine. Both are extremely popular with local residents and are open for dinner nightly. To round out your options, both towers are home to Seattle's Best Coffee serving coffee drinks and pastries, open all day and in the front tower, Restaurant Run, a small noodle shop and sushi bar, open all day.
Property amenities include two freshwater heated swimming pools, a spa tub and the beautiful Paul Brown's Spa Olakino & Salon, featuring Hawaiian-influenced treatments. Overlooking the beach, the views are wonderful and the Spa is the perfect place to enjoy pampering and total revitalization. Other amenities include a 24-hour fitness center with the lastest aerobic and resistance training machines, a shopping arcade with more than 20 shops, a full service business center, hospitality lounge, activity classes and Hawaiian entertainment, concierge services and so much more.
The Waikiki Beach Marriott is ideally located to take advantage of nearby attractions such as the Honolulu Zoo, Kapiolani Park, Waikiki Aquarium and, of course, all the attractions of Waikiki and the beach. There is a nightly lighting of the torches along the beach, Hawaiian entertainment and about every other week, Movies on the Beach, which are free and held on Saturday and Sunday evenings, with food booths and entertainment.
The resort is a nonsmoking property including all guest rooms, restaurants, lounges, meeting rooms, public space and associate work areas. The resort will offer special designated smoking areas outside the building to accommodate the needs of their guests who smoke.
This is a really wonderful property, like almost all Marriotts. Great service, lovely rooms, many amenities and in the case of the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa, an absolutely fantastic location. Sit on your lanai sipping a drink and watch the waves as they come to shore, feel the gentle trade winds and perhaps even watch the moon rise above Diamond Head - it's a memory that will stay with you forever.

WASHINGTON — Congressional leaders and the White House agreed Sunday to a $700 billion rescue of the ailing financial industry after lawmakers insisted on sharing spending controls with the Bush administration. The biggest U.S. bailout in history won the tentative support of both presidential candidates and goes to the House for a vote Monday.
The plan, bollixed up for days by election-year politics, would give the administration broad power to use billions upon billions of taxpayer dollars to purchase devalued mortgage-related assets held by cash-starved financial firms.
President Bush called the vote a difficult one for lawmakers but said he is confident Congress will pass it. "Without this rescue plan, the costs to the American economy could be disastrous," Bush said in a written statement released by the White House. He was to speak publicly about the plan early Monday morning, before U.S. markets open.
Flexing its political muscle, Congress insisted on a stronger hand in controlling the money than the White House had wanted. Lawmakers had to navigate between angry voters with little regard for Wall Street and administration officials who warned that inaction would cause the economy to seize up and spiral into recession.

"In relative terms for De Soto National Refuge, over the past 10, 13 years we're getting some record high numbers," said Kenneth Block, visitor services manager.
But even with a soaring population, Block said the birds can be hard to catch.
"It's timing; being in the right place at the right time, but also trying to be a little stealthy about it," he said.
But for the avid bird-watcher, a picture is well worth the wait. For more bird-watching tips, visit the De Soto visitor's center, which is open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. seven days a week, or find the refuge on Facebook.

Governor Nixon: Avoid Tuition Hikes Despite Budget Cuts
Missouri Governor Jay Nixon (D) is warning Missouri's college administrators not to raise tuition to make up the difference in budget cuts he announced this week during his annual State of the State Address. The governor wants to cut the state's Higher Education budget by nearly $106 million, or 12.5 percent. Read more here.
MODOT Looks To Private Sector Not Voters For I-70 Tolls
The head of the Missouri Department of Transportation says it wouldn't take a public vote to rebuild Interstate 70 using tolls. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports MoDot director Kevin Keith says private sector companies would fund the project and collect tolls to recoup their investment. The Missouri Trucking Association says the I-70 toll question should go to voters. Previous efforts to pass constitutional amendments to permit state toll roads and bridges have failed.
Health Group Pushes Farmers To Reduce Antibiotic Use
Though the FDA recently backed away from a proposal that would ban the use of some antibiotics in livestock feed, health advocacy groups are campaigning to eliminate the practice – and they're taking their message directly to farmers.

I know people are pushing you, but please don't pull the guys out of Iraq too soon. Don't let my husband — and 1,700-plus other deaths — be in vain. They were over there, fighting for a democratic nation, and I hope you'll keep our service members over there until the mission can be accomplished.
While talking to President Bush, Mrs. Owen gave him a stainless steel bracelet engraved with the name of her husband which he wore throughout his 28 minute address to the nation. To read the Washington Times story in its entirety, click here. To read the transcript of President Bush's speech, click here.
For those who are tempted to grow weak in our struggle against terrorism in Iraq, may the words of this woman who has lost so much be a challenge to each of us to be willing to stay the course. And let us be thankful for a President who understands the costs of both fighting and not fighting this war and who has made the difficult choice to fight the war for the sake of our future peace. I know that Mrs. Owen is thankful that her husband's "Commander in Chief" was also her "Comforter in Chief".
