episode You don't know Jack - Pearl Harbor (3 of 3) cover

Description

www.vikktor.us This is the final portion of Jack’s story. Immediately following the torpedo that blew the bow off the St. Louis, Jack sustains an injury from the blast that snapped ropes and sent equipment flying across the deck onto sailors. Jack is nowhere to be found, and a crewmember reports him to be swept off the deck! Yet it was providence that Jack and I sit here today, discussing another fight-the battle to obtain his purple heart. It is frustrating to hear that others have received this award for lesser things, including working overtime, hurting ones shoulder when driving a jeep into a river, etc. Jack turns 102 in May of 2022, and I pray that he will receive the award due his valiance.

The Crown Virus - The Mentality, People and Things (3 of 4)

We are mid chapter "Crown Virus". America departed the monarchy long ago; however, we have resurrected it with signs and slogans. We see direct, one to one correlations with industry and entertainment; brands, businesses and sports are infected by the mentality—the people and the things are so far enthroned in our minds, that every person, player, pastor or position has digressed. The spirit has reached the redneck, rancher and black American alike. To merge the abstract into the concrete world of public education, we journey through High School Prom. This tradition might seem innocent, until you experience it through the eyes of a small child, playing Mario at the Glenbrook mall in Fort Wayne, IN. An innocent boy is sandwiched between two stores—one which sells prom dresses, and another which sells “overpriced undergarments”.
