First
Annual Jerry McIntyre
Memorial Golf Tournament
In honor of my husband, and our father, son, brother,
uncle, cousin, and good friend, Jerry, we are planning
a golf tournament fundraiser to benefit two of Jerry’s
many labors of love – the Holy Ghost/St. Francis
Schools and the Jersey Community Hospital Foundation.
Through the years he served on and helped guide both
the school and hospital boards and lent his construction
expertise to their numerous building projects. It is
our hope that you will use this method to assist both
of these organizations, which were dear to his heart,
and keep Jerry’s community spirit alive, while
enjoying a whole day of unique and fun “Jerry-inspired”
activities!!!

We got you covered, Weekly magazine round up
The
second battle of Fallujah part Three
Featured Video Presentation
in "We've Got You Covered," Conor Knighton's
weekly roundup of magazines, he digs deep into the print media
to find the most colorful photos, articles and advice. From Lady
Gaga's "Vanity Fair" spread to an intern's account of
tracking Snooki in "Seventeen," no silliness is left
uncovered. Also, see what happens when Conor finds out Brett Erlich
has been moonlighting.
After a week of heavy urban combat coalition forces had achieved
most of their objectives, and had inflicted heavy casualties on
the enemy. But the effects of a weeklong battle had taken its
toll on the marines and army soldiers who participated in the
battle.
Many who participated in the combat described the opening days
of the assault as a non-stop adrenalin high.
The night before the attack there was little sleep. Then when
the pre dawn attack started, one soldier described it like a world
war two movie. The crackle of gun fire all around, small and large
explosions coming from the city, and the anxiety of going into
harms way. Officers were barking commands on the radio, sergeants
receiving their orders and moving their men into place. Infantry
armed to the teeth taking up positions as the heavy armor rolled
into the city.
When the infantry finally reached the city what they found was
piles of rubble, dead bodies hanging from the windows of buildings
and the stench of death in the air.
When it was time for the infantry to clean out a building, they
never entered the front door because of the fear of booby traps.
Instead they would have a tank knock a hole in a wall then they
would entire the building that way.
After many days of battle the soldiers and marines began to notice
a change in their own demeanor. They no longer flinched when a
large bomb would be detonated, and they did not dive for cover
when small arms fire would erupt unexpectedly. They all got used
to seeing severed limbs and dead body part lying about from street
to street. Then there was the 100-yard stair that other veterans
talk about.
The second battle of Fallujah accomplished what the first battle
did not. It was a decisive victory using force on force to engage
some of the most ruthless and fanatical of the die hard Jihadies.
The coalition used Fallujah to drain the swamp of insurgents and
to snuff out the last Jihad strong hold in Iraq.
The fighting in Fallujah cost US forces 51 killed and 425 seriously
wounded, while Iraqi forces lost 8 killed and 43 wounded. Insurgent
losses are estimated to be between 1,200 to 1,350 killed. The
victory severely damaged any momentum the insurgency had gained
by holding the city. Residents were allowed to return in December
and slowly began rebuilding the badly damaged city.
TUSTIN, Calif. – A California man suspected
of ramming a tow truck that was repossessing his car has surrendered
peacefully after an 11-hour standoff.
Orange County sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino says
46-year-old Bernard Veldhuizen walked out of his home in Tustin
about 1:30 p.m. Wednesday and was arrested for felony vandalism.
Amormino says Veldhuizen used a rented U-Haul truck
to ram the tow truck and then ran into his house around 2:45 a.m.
During a standoff with a SWAT team, the bare-chested
man yelled out a window and threw items onto his lawn.
Amormino says financial problems may have led to
the confrontation. He says Veldhuizen was unemployed, was being
evicted, and was arrested last month on suspicion of making terrorist
threats and brandishing a handgun.
