Barry Melton Combat Correspondent Marines from Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 463 returned home to Kaneohe Bay March 7 after participating in two combined-arms exer- cises at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, Calif. Training at 29 Palms gave the Marines an opportunity to work with F/A18 fighter attack aircraft; CH-46, CH-53E and UH-1 helicopters, and the chance to perform as a Marine Air Ground Task Force by training with the infantry, said Sgt. Maj. Art Taylor, HMH-463 sergeant major. Flying at 29 Palms also offered the Marines new challenges, said Taylor, as they had to overcome desert sand and cold and windy condi- tions. "It was a lot of good training for our Marines," said Taylor. "We have a lot of young guys who have never been anywhere, so this was a good time for them to get off the island and work with other units." "We don't deploy, so CAX is a way to build our combat strategy," said 1st. Lt. Scott Volkert, schedule writer and ground training officer with HMH-463. "It's a goddway to improve our combat readiness." "They handled themselves as Marines and they took care of the mis- sion," Taylor added. "Nobody got hurt and we all came back." According to Taylor, the Marines performed with excellence during Photo by Lance Cpl. David Salazar their time in California. Lance Cpl.

  • Vanguard Label Discography Was Compiled Using Our Record Collections, Schwann Catalogs from 1953 to 1982, a Phono-Log from 1963, and Various Other Sources
    Discography Of The Vanguard Label Vanguard Records was established in New York City in 1947. It was owned by Maynard and Seymour Solomon. The label released classical, folk, international, jazz, pop, spoken word, rhythm and blues and blues. Vanguard had a subsidiary called Bach Guild that released classical music. The Solomon brothers started the company with a loan of $10,000 from their family and rented a small office on 80 East 11th Street. The label was started just as the 33 1/3 RPM LP was just gaining popularity and Vanguard concentrated on LP’s. Vanguard commissioned recordings of five Bach Cantatas and those were the first releases on the label. As the long play market expanded Vanguard moved into other fields of music besides classical. The famed producer John Hammond (Discoverer of Robert Johnson, Bruce Springsteen Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan and Aretha Franklin) came in to supervise a jazz series called Jazz Showcase. The Solomon brothers’ politics was left leaning and many of the artists on Vanguard were black-listed by the House Un-American Activities Committive. Vanguard ignored the black-list of performers and had success with Cisco Houston, Paul Robeson and the Weavers. The Weavers were so successful that Vanguard moved more and more into the popular field. Folk music became the main focus of the label and the home of Joan Baez, Ian and Sylvia, Rooftop Singers, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Doc Watson, Country Joe and the Fish and many others. During the 1950’s and early 1960’s, a folk festival was held each year in Newport Rhode Island and Vanguard recorded and issued albums from the those events.

Ron Kovic, in an interview by David Harris for Rolling Stone David Harris Our War 1996 Twenty-five years ago, on April 30, 1975, America ended its two-decade reign of terror in Vietnam. The reign exacted a dreadful toll on Southeast Asia, leaving three million dead (including one million civilians1), four million wounded, “and ten million displaced from their homes. More than five million acres of forest and croplands were laid waste by eighteen million gallons of poisonous chemical herbicides. The U.S. military exploded more than fifteen million tons of bombs and ground munitions in a country less than half the size of the state of Texas.”2 “There are other reminders of the costs of [what the Vietnamese call] the American War: continuing generations of babies born deformed because of the effects of the chemical defoliant Agent Orange and farmers and children who are killed and maimed by unexploded bombs and mines.”3 In some ways, America did not fare much better. “From 1964 to 1972, the wealthiest and most powerful nation in the history of the world made a maximum military effort, with everything short of atomic bombs, to defeat a nationalist revolutionary movement in a tiny, 1 “Vietnam War” on Britannica DVD 99 (Chicago: Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1999).
