Supreme Court upheld most of President Obama’s historic health care overhaul. This action will increase health care coverage and reduce health disparities in the minority communities. The way the Affordable Care Act works, will be an advantage for all, even though such has not been publicized. It is felt that because of this, and because it is not a violation of the U. S. Constitution, Chief Justice John Roberts voted to uphold it. More than 30 million uninsured Americans can now have better health. Read more on this in next week’s Star Newspapers.

Certainly, it is necessary to honor all of America’s war heroes’ selfless service and sacrifice, and in particular, those who served at Montford Point.

So in order to correct this past injustice, the Resolution, which is now law, was introduced on their behalf. This is a proud victory for the Montford Point Marines, as this Gold Medal will forever anchor their role in the history of our nation’s great military.” Dqdd{"Dtqyp"Igvu"Octtkgf"kp"Jcyckk" 43-year old Bobby Brown, best known as the 1990's multi-platinum R&B singer and the former husband of the late queen of pop Whitney Houston, has married his long- time lady-love Alicia Etheredge in Honolulu,Hawaii.
