VICTORY ORDER OF THE DAY Men and women of the Allied Expeditionary Force: The crusade on which we embarked in the early summer of 1944 has reached its glorious conclusion. It is my especial privilege, in the name of all Nations represented in this Theatre of War, to commend each of you for valiant performance of duty. Though these words are feeble they come from the bottom of a heart overflowing with pride in your loyal service and admiration for you as warriors. Your accomplishments at sea, in the air, on the ground and in the field of supply, have astonished the world. Even before the final week of the conflict, you had put 5,000,000 of the enemy permanently out of the war. You have taken in stride military tasks so difficult as to be classed by many doubters as impossible. You have confused, defeated and destroyed your savagely fighting foe. On the road to victory you have endured every discomfort and privation and have surmounted every obstacle, ingenuity and desperation could throw in your path. You did not pause until our front was firmly joined up with the great Red Army coming from the East, and other Allied Forces, coming from the South.

  • And We Will Do It Again! Executive Director’S Report
    NOTICE TO AIRMEN NOTAMPEARL HARBOR AVIATION MUSEUM • FORD ISLAND, HI SPRING 2020 | ISSUE #40 WE DID IT BEFORE ND WE CAN DO AE DID IT BEFORE IT A AND WE CAN DO IT AGAIN W GAIN AND WE WILL DO IT AGAIN! EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT Hard to believe how quickly our lives have changed. In the time it took for us to move from our initial draft to our final copy of this NOTAM--quarantine, lockdown, pandemic became the language and concerns of our day. Never has it been clearer that we are all connected and dependent upon one another to work together to solve problems. There are many lessons from our past that remind us we are indeed resilient. As President Franklin Delano Roosevelt once said,"So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is...fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and of vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory. And I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days." The attack on Pearl Harbor galvanized our country into action. Our Greatest Generation were resilient, cementing the cornerstone of the American character. Many times since WWII that determination has rallied our nation to overcome the challenges we have faced together. So, too, will we this time. We hope you, your families, and your communities are safe, and that soon we can turn our energies to recovery.

    INDEPENDENT PUBLISHERS GROUP Spring 2009 INDEPENDENT PUBLISHERS GROUP – SPRING 2009 New Titles The dangerous book for grown-up boys Absinthe & Flamethrowers Projects and Ruminations on the Art of Living Dangerously William Gurstelle • Co-op available • Advertising in Make, ReadyMade, and Mental_floss • Author’s previous books sold more than 300,000 copies Written for reasonable risk takers and suburban dads who want to add more excitement to their lives, this daring combination of sci- ence, history, and DIY projects explains why danger is good for you and details the art of living dangerously. All of the projects—from throwing knives, drinking absinthe, and eating fugu to cracking a bullwhip, learning bartitsu, and building a flamethrower—have short learning curves; are human-focused, as opposed to technology- centric; are affordable; and demonstrate true but reasonable risk. The guide maintains that risk takers are more successful, more inter- esting individuals who lead more fulfilling lives. What would the world be like if Thomas Edison retired after 30 years working for the railroad, it asks, instead of getting fired for blowing up a rail car with one of his experiments? Though the manual doesn’t advocate getting fired, it does reveal that making black powder is pure excite- ment. Unlike watching an action movie or playing a video game, real, edgy life experience changes a person. Each potentially life- altering project includes step-by-step directions and illustrations along with sidebar tips from experts in the field. William Gurstelle is a professional engineer who has been research- ing and building model catapults and ballistic devices for more than 30 years.
