World War 2 "V-Mail" and I quote a few sentences from it:

Dear Sister, I will answer your letter I received a few days ago. I'm still doing (?) duties and believe me it's

plenty hard, and I am losing some sleep but I don't mind that too much. I just now want this war to be

over.". He was stationed in England

    Good Evening Mr.Williams, a fine broadcast this evening as always. Truly and important day regarding the 70th Anniversary of the Attack at Pearl Harbor. We should honor all those Brave soldiers who were lost and all those who survived. It was a terrible day in history and one should never forget what happened that day 70yrs ago.

    The piece by Mr.Lewis from Pearl Harbor showing all the survivors gathered for the rememberance was very moving and knowing this could be the last time all of them will be able to be together makes this rememberance much more special. Seeing the fly over of the planes, ringing of the bell at the exact time of the attack at 7:55AM brings about tears. Many of the survivors recalling vividly their experiences of the day. So very tragic the loss of 2400 lives. One hopes that furture generations will keep the memory of this historic day alive. They all were the Greatest Generation. We Honor and Salute them.

    Sad to learn the loss of Harry Morgan at the age of 96yrs old. He certainly did a great job playing "Colonel Potter" on M *A* S* H. He will be missed by many people.

    Janice Huff's report on the weather told of much of the Eastern Seaboard getting some wintry weather which appears to be bringing some snow to those areas especially in the mountains. Good for the skiers.

    The "Making A Difference" segmet by Rehema Ellis about the two brothers who started the "Holistic Life Foundation" that teaches yoga to students seems to be having some great success. The students are managing their stress better. It is wonderful they are now teaching more than 1000 students along with some volunteers tutoring and mentoring the students. Learning to give back which seems to be a great lesson these two brothers learned from their father. Helping many kids have brighter future.

    Thank You for the broadcast Mr.Williams. Peace to You and to All!

    Be Well Everyone!

    Stay Extra,Extra Safe and Well Richard!

    Take Extra,Extra Good Care Richard and Crew!

    Lisa

      Rehema Ellis’ story on teaching the kids Yoga was very interesting, it appeared that the kids really seemed to be into it. You’d probably expect kids of that age to have one eye open looking at the camera or perhaps giggling or something, but they were all so focused when they were doing their breathing exercise. Just hope they keep it up and use it when confronted by their peers in a not so friendly situation. Like the young man said, he used to get in fights almost every day, but now he just focuses on what he’s learned and it helped him turn his life around.

        Brian many wonder why the country is so messed up and where did we go wrong? Today the House announce the following:

        House Passes Bill To Grant Congress Veto Power Over White House Rules

        There is not need to explain this and it does prove we wasted the 1 million paid to read the Constitution to the House/Congress/Senate. Time for the elected officials to watch School House Rock to learn how the Constitution explains how a bill becomes Law and that we have three branches of our government. It was so embarrassing to watch Speaker Boehner who thought House could elimite the power of the President. Even Freshman Law Makers seem confussed as to how our government works as Rep. Ben Quayle thinks Congress can stop rules in track and the President shouldn't have the power. We know the Debates running for President aren't very bright but now it seems elected Law Makers are clueless too.

        I do pray for my country and the children. I do thank President Obama for working so hard and to be honest I couldn't put up with so many stupid law makers.

        have a great evening all

          I am amazed that more families of the Pearl Harbor survivors did not respond to "Pearl Harbor 70 Years Later."

          God bless them!
