Juanita Chang Combined Joint Task Force 76 KHOST PROVINCE, Afghanistan — Nearly 1,000 people came to Khilbasat village to see if the announcements they heard over a loud speaker were true. They heard broadcasts that coalition forces would be providing free medical care for local residents. Neither they, nor some of the coalition soldiers, could believe what they saw. “The people are really happy that Americans are here today,” said a local boy in broken English, talking from over a stone wall to a Marine who was pulling guard duty. “I am from a third-world country, but this was very shocking for me to see,” said Spc. Thia T. Valenzuela, who moved to the United States from Guyana in 2001, joined the United States Army the same year, and now calls Decatur, Ga., home. “While I was de-worming them I was looking at their teeth. They were all rotten and so unhealthy,” said Valenzuela, a dental assistant from Company C, 725th Main Support Battalion stationed out of Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. “It was so shocking to see all the children not wearing shoes,” Valenzuela said, this being her first time out of the secure military facility, or “outside the wire” as service members in Afghanistan refer to it.

  • From a Photo of War, a Statue to Remember MARIO RITTER: Welcome to the VOA Special English Program EXPLORATIONS
    04 July 2012 | MP3 at voaspecialenglish.com From a Photo of War, a Statue to Remember MARIO RITTER: Welcome to the VOA Special English program EXPLORATIONS. I’m Mario Ritter. July fourth, Independence Day in the United States, is a time of celebration. Friends and family across the country gather for food, music and activities. Fireworks light the night sky. Memories are made. Photographs preserve our family memories. Sometimes they capture the memories of a nation. This week, Steve Ember and Barbara Klein tell the story of a famous photograph from World War Two. It led the sculptor Felix de Weldon to create one of the largest free-standing bronze statues in the world. (MUSIC) STEVE EMBER: Our story is about one moment in time. Really, one-four- hundredths of a second. That is the amount of time it took Associated Press photographer Joe Rosenthal to capture a historic image on film. AP Joe Rosenthal's photo of Marines of the 28th Regiment of the Fifth Division raising the American flag atop Mount Suribachi, Iwo Jima, on February 23, 1945 The photograph shows six men and an American flag during a battle in World War Two. Joe Rosenthal took it on February twenty-third, nineteen forty-five, on the Pacific island of Iwo Jima. Japanese forces held the island. American Marines were trying to capture it. On the fourth day of battle, Marines fought to the top of Mount Suribachi, the tallest mountain on Iwo Jima. A small American flag was sent to the top. The Marines placed the flagpole in the ground.

  • It Was the First Live Auction I Had Ever Attended
    THE REDEMPTION OF OUR SOULS Rosh Hashanah Morning 5763 It was the first live auction I had ever attended. A warm summer morning, cars with license plates from all up and down the northeast coast were pulling in and parking on what used to be a small growing field of the Spear family. One of down-east Maine’s most honored family names. Ellis Spear had been a general in the civil war. A storied career. But now his descendants were auctioning off the items to which they felt least connected; the proceeds would enable them to restore the homestead to its original glory. One day earlier Marilyn and I had walked through the house, to see what was. We bought a copy of the auction list, checked off a few items we thought would be fun to bid on. You know, the cheapies. But as we were driving to the auction the next morning I said, “It seems to me that to bid on these little things defeats the advantage of an auction. You’ll probably end up paying more than you would in an antique shop. I think the key is to go for the big items, the things you couldn’t otherwise afford. Maybe we’ll get lucky.” Marilyn says, “Well, what are you thinking of? Do you have anything in particular in mind?” Knowing that Marilyn has always wanted an oil-on-canvas portrait, there was this one painting that I couldn’t stop thinking about. It was from 1832, a somewhat two-dimensional, folk art style portrait of O.

Seventy-Five Years Since Iwo Jima Seventy-five years ago, for 36 days from February 19 to March 26, 1945, U.S. Marines took on the Japanese in the battle of Iwo Jima. The battle was responsible for the most U.S Medal of Honors awarded in World War II (one quarter of them) and resulted in history’s most iconic war photograph.
