Children Bond with SJSU Parents Employees Fired
SERVING SAN JOSE STATE UNIVERSITY SINCE 1934 SPARTANSPARTAN DAILYDAILY WWW.THESPARTANDAILY.COM VOLUME 122, NUMBER 53 FRIDAY, APRIL 23, 2004 Children bond with SJSU parents Employees fi red for taking photos of soldiers’ caskets Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Pentagon lost its tight control over the images of coffi ns returning from Iraq as about 350 such images were released under the Freedom of Information Act and a Seattle newspaper published a similar photo taken by a military contractor. After Dover Air Force Base, the main port for returning remains, released hundreds of government photos of the ceremonies, the Defense Department ordered Thursday that no more photographs be released. In addition, two employees for defense contractor Maytag Aircraft were fi red after the Pentagon complained about a photo of fl ag-draped caskets taken by one of them appeared in the Seattle Times. In March 2003, on the eve of war in Iraq, the Pentagon ordered an end to all media coverage of ceremonies for the returning remains of soldiers killed overseas. Although Dover already had such a policy, the Pentagon action enforced a military-wide ban on images of fl ag-draped caskets that dated from late 2000 but had not been followed. With few exceptions, the ban had remained in force until recent days. But last week, about 350 photos from Dover were released under a Freedom of Information Act request by Russ Kick, a First Amendment advocate who runs a Web site called the Memory Hole (www.thememoryhole.org). Dover had recommended that Kick’s request be denied, but offi cials at Air Mobility Command headquarters at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois authorized the release on appeal.

Amy Ramos Is a San Jose Native and Has Lived in the Area for Her Entire Life
Amy Ramos is a San Jose native and has lived in the area for her entire life. After high school, she attended West Valley College and then transferred and graduated from San Jose State University (SJSU) in 2000. Amy is half Scottish and is the oldest of three children. Her mum grew up in Glasgow and her parents met at a pub when her Father was stationed in the Navy in Scotland. Amy’s dad still lives in the same house that she grew up in. She has a younger sister and a younger brother and feels very fortunate that they all live close to one another. Amy feels that her path chose her. Back in late 2014, she was talking to a coworker and Amy mentioned that she was about to turn 40 and wanted a change in career. Amy was encouraged to join the paralegal program at West Valley College. Amy’s friend thought that Amy would be great as a paralegal because she had worked as an Administrative Assistant for close to 15 years. It took her about 18 months to finish the program as she was working full-time and taking classes at night. Amy received her paralegal certificate at West Valley College in December 2016. Amy works at a small family law office in Downtown San Jose. Every day is different! While her job can be stressful, she truly enjoys working with an amazing group of co-workers. They are her second family! Shortly after she joined SCCoLPA, she found out that she could become a California Certified Legal Secretary (CCLS).
