Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Pepe’s performance of the Aranjuez Concerto is the very best.
👋🏻 ♥️ 💋
( thought about you every night while you couldn’t post )
Thank you so very much, love. I was also anticipating this post. I so wanted it to be special so it only seemed fitting to post this wonderful Pepe’ Romero performance of the Concerto de Aranjuez. Pepe’ is an old friend and his performances of this wonderful pieces of music are always special. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did . . . 🙂
both the music and video were beautiful garrison ! ♥️ ✨
🙂
Howdy Garrison!
Howdy, Gramps!!! 🙂
Mornin’ Garrison
Feels good to say that again! 😊
Agreed. Mornin’ dear lady . . . 🙂
Hi Garrison. Count me as another fan glad to see you setting the TreeHouse shivering with music. I have a funny (to me) story about this particular piece of music.
I had only ever heard Rod McKuen sing “Inside of Me”. In about 1974 I was driving to work listening to a Denver classical music station.
The Concerto began to play.
Well, I had to park outsider my ‘work’ to get to hear the title of the magic I was listening to Soon as possible I bought a recording and it promptly became one of my favorite listenings.
Here are the words:
the late 1960s. Wikipedia @ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_McKuen
Inside of me
there is something that no one will ever see
some kind of something that I can’t as yet define
I drown it every night with wine
for it’s no friend of mine.
Inside of me
there’s a wild thing pushing to be free
like some mad maverick that’s been walled up
in a canyon all these years
feeding only on the fears that drive it downward
part of me
it longs to race down
to the freedom of the sea.
Inside of me
like a long forgotten lover there…
simple as silence
I can’t even feel
the sound of something almost real
and it’s telling me be careful.
In spite of me
there are worlds around me turning round
things I’ll never find and things it’s likely
that I’ve never found
but they’re real
and still the gulf between the world
and me is wide
as wide as my black soul.
Locked up inside
in a jail of my making
I keep that secret I own
till it dies all alone.
Inside of me, inside of me.
Great story, idaho. Rodrigo, the composer, was a family friend of the Romeros. The brothers basically grew up around him.
Israel Update:
–The IDF gave some areas in the Shia neighborhood in Beirut Lebanon an evacuation order.
It then released a video showing how they have a massive drone manufacturing facility under some four buildings. Iran sponsored for building up their power again.
Then 6 jet attacks and some 15 drone attacks, including on an area in south Lebanon.
Today is a Muslim holiday and they got a special “gift”. Thousands of vehicles left Beirut.
This shows that the IDF is no longer waiting for a disaster like before 10/7 but is taking action in advance. Hundreds of Hezbollah’s drones were destroyed. I will post videos.
Israel is anticipating a response this time. It is my opinion that we have more targets and once they respond we will use the opportunity and blow up whatever we know that they have. Mossad is very successful in Lebanon. Quality Intel.
-The Yacht with Greta Thonberg which was suppose to “break the blockade on Gaza” made a U-Turn back to Europe. They say that they find a refugee boat on the way and picked up some of the refugees. They also complained that they were accompanied by drones which was “a psychological warfare”.
-The Trump Administration posed sanctions on four judges of the International Justice Court who participated in the arrest warrant of Bibi and the Defense Minister. It was Marco Rubio who announced and explained it.
-Over 100,000 people attended the demonstration of the Israeli Right at Jerusalem.
Protesting the Legal Deep State who interferes with the ability of the government to make appointments and critical decisions. Judicial dictatorship, over-reach. Peaceful protest.
-The largest Military export contract in Israel’s history. Germany bought the
Arrow 3 missies, an anti long range and ballistic missiles system. An Israeli project with a US partnership on the development. This is highly effective in intercepting the Houthi’s ballistic missies. It is a 4.3 Billion dollars deal and Israel is at the phase of delivering it. Europe is nervous about the Russians and is buying.
-Macron of France is threatening that in the next few days they will decide about steps against Israel. Macron is a pro Hamas supporter. “By their actions you shall know them”.
About a week ago the “French FBI” came up with a report of the dangers of the Muslim Brotherhood in France. They then recommended to support Palestine as means of appeasing the Muslims. Can you believe it? This is what he is doing. They are in fear!
-Geert Wilders the leader of the largest Party in the Netherlands Parliament collapsed the government a few days ago. He is a strong anti-immigration, one of the warmest supporters of Israel. He did it because he couldn’t get his strict immigration laws to pass. Today he gave an amazing warm speech about Israel and how “it is the front line in combating radical Islam and preventing it from attacking Europe”. He spent a long time in Israel in his youth and it shaped his love for Israel. He is what they wrongly call “Far Right”.
-Ambassador of Iran in Russia announced that Putin will visit Teheran shortly. I don’t know why, but this follows Putin’s long talk with Trump in which he suggested to mediate the talks with Iran. I hope that this is what it is and not a defense alliance with the Iranians.
– CENTCOM of the US Military, which is the Command over the American Forces in the Middle East is changing. General Michael Kurilla is leaving and General Brad Cooper will take command. General Kurilla is a close friend of Israel and the IDF and brought this alliance to new levels. The new one was many times in Israel and knows many in the IDF. He is coming from the Navy and he knows Navy Commanders from Israel.
-It leaked that Israel armed with AKs the Militia in South Gaza which helped protect the aid and even opened fire at Hamas one time. This brings different opinions. Overall we don’t like to arm Palestinians as from experience those rifles end up used against us. Hamas is aiming to kill the leaders of this Militia. I reported about them recently. Dictators afraid more than anything from their own people turning against them.
-The IDF rescued two bodies of dead hostages. A couple over 70 years old from a Kibbutz who were murdered on 10/7 and their bodies kidnapped to Gaza. A teacher of children of special needs (woman) and husband who was a musician. RIP. This now changes the total number from 58 to 56 kidnapped. 20 are alive. They were located based on precision Intel, they were in Khan Yunis. Proper burial is important in Judaism.
-Reports that the IDF is now all the way to the center of Khan Yunis.
I listened to a couple interviews with Commanders who lead our forces in Gaza.
They explain that they clean up the areas very thoroughly. While before they just conquered and didn’t know what to expect, they now have a lot of precision Intel and they know where the main tunnels are and have now experience and new means to deal with explosives and tunnels. They say that it’s a game of patience, it takes time.
-70 killed in Gaza and 190 injured according to Gaza. In the past 24 hours.
-The D9 Bulldozers of Caterpillar are the new stars of the war. They lead all the forces, they blow up explosives in the roads and buildings. They demolish suspicious structures. They dig for our forces to hold positions or make protective piles of dirt. They dig and expose tunnels. I don’t know how many we have but Trump release the purchase lines that Biden blocked. A non reliable source (a soldier) told me that about a hundred of them.
The Israeli Defense Industries Management allocated now about 95 million dollars for three production companies to build protective defenses for those vehicles. The plan is to get all of them to have improved defenses until 2026. A part of preparations for the future. I heard also that we have some who can be remote controlled. Hamas changed the nature of their fight. They don’t collide a lot, they planted hundreds or thousands of what is called “Explosive fields” which are traps for our soldiers. I also just heard from a commander in North Gaza who said that “every second house is boobytrapped”. So the bulldozers are unique to Israel as an actual game changing force. Many of the Infantry units allocated personnel to learn to operate those bulldozers and they learned on the job and learned to work all day and maintenance and repairs after the long production hours. We also had some casualties of people who drove those.
-Since the beginning of the war the IDF rescued 40 dead hostages and 8 living hostages.
-A source in the Defense Establishment is saying that the IDF is now having an operational control over 50% of Gaza. The goal is 75% for this Operation. Note: I am skeptical of the term “Operational Control”. Once its all conquered and cleared and demolished as needed then I would count it. Specially the tunnels must be destroyed. I am hearing that we are getting the main tunnels. But every tunnels is a crazy job. It’s estimated that there were 350-450 Miles of tunnels. About 5,700 tunnel shafts, many inside homes, schools, etc…
Some tunnels are as deep as 230 feet underground. Imagine if they used all this effort and money for the welfare of Gaza. And the money of the West which went for the UN was used to manage their civilian activities so that they could keep all their money for war purposes. So schools, hospitals, etc… didn’t use the budgets of the Hamas. Or very little of their money. Imagine how many Gazans were involved in digging those tunnels and building them. Its sickening. It’s a Death Cult.
Shalom and God Bless you all.
David, you certainly have and are a gift from The LORD! HE has granted this to you…Continued BLESSINGS!
Strength and Endurance!
BLESSINGS on Israel!
Thank you. ❤️
David: Yes, it’s a death cult; part of death ideology, masquerading as a religion.

Does anyone know if there is a way for me to let you watch my videos without the commercials?
The viewer would have to subscribe and pay a fee to the website host for the privilege of viewing with no advertising.
The days of watching free video content on websites such as Rumble or YT without commercial interruptions are over.
Thanks. I wondered if I pay them for a commercial channel that would remove the ads for you the viewers. I guess you answered this question.
Maybe not
I did not know anything about a commercial channel.
Maybe your referring to a “monetized channel” where the video content producer gets money for views.
I am not sure exactly how their business model is structured, plus that would vary with each video hosting service.
It seems the more popular the service, the more intrusive the ads are.
Hence YT has more than Rumble and Rumble has more than Bitchute.
But I have not watched too much on Bitchute lately. Some drone footage from Ukraine gets posted there that shows soldiers being killed, which I personally do not want to see, no matter which side it is.
ChatGPT says that I can’t get rid of the ads on Rumble.
Rumble is not too bad compared to YT.
I listen/ watch some out of state preachers I know do their Sunday sermons & mid week bible studies that are on both.
I refuse to pay YT to eliminate ads because of their censorship issues, etc. as part of the Google universe.
👍
☀️ David: I just left a voice mail phone message and asked Rumble if there is a way for you to pay so that your viewers do not have to watch the ads.
I hope they will call me back!
Even if Rumble currently does NOT offer this, maybe they will consider it.
Also, they could charge you more (or less) depending upon the number of views you receive each month.
I personally would contribute to a GiveSendGo or Kofi type of account to help you recover some of your cost to do this.
I prefer that to having to pay Rumble directly myself (to stop ads).
I will let you know if Rumble does call me back and what they say.
Thanks. Let me know what they say.
David

Humans Give Off a Light That Is Extinguished in Death, Study Reveals
For centuries, mystics and philosophers have described a subtle glow surrounding living beings, often dismissed as mere folklore or superstition. Yet recent scientific research has uncovered compelling evidence that humans indeed emit faint biophotonic emissions, a form of ultra-weak biological light invisible to the naked eye.
Remarkably, this bioluminescent glow appears intimately connected to our metabolic processes and overall vitality, fading dramatically upon death. These groundbreaking findings not only bridge ancient beliefs with modern science but also raise intriguing questions about the nature of life, consciousness, and the delicate interplay between energy and biology. In this article, we explore the fascinating discoveries and their profound implications.
Every Human Body Gives Off an Invisible Glow. Here’s What It Means.
“You’re glowing” is a well-known complimentary phrase meant to convey a perceived level of health, happiness, or other biological condition—pregnancies often inspire the platitude, for example.
But in reality, humans (along with all other living things) truly do emit a glow largely caused by an organism’s metabolic and cellular processes.
And when one get close enough to penetrate that aura they have entered your space.
rah: Yes, it’s a very uncomfortable feeling, when somone invade your personal space. My personal space radius is about 50 feet 🙂
Good morning nim. Certainly gives new meaning to the phrase, “You’re glowing” doesn’t it? Thanks for the information. I learn something new just about every day here on CTH. Have a wonderful and blessed day.
and a good day to you, Pat
I think anyone who has sat with a loved one in their final hour has seen this glow. I know I have.

InfrantryDort wrote the first few paragraphs which I put in quotations. My own contribution follows.
@infantrydort
June 5th, 1944. England.
“You’re twenty-something and barely slept. But you’re up now—facepaint on, gear checked, re-checked, and triple-checked by you and your buddy. You tighten your chinstrap and stretch out your chute straps one more time. You’ve trained for this moment for what feels like forever, but now that it’s here, time is moving strange. Slow and fast at once.
You get some hot chow—barely taste it. A cup of coffee, thick as motor oil. You sit on your pack and sip it slowly, soaking in the heavy British air thick with the smell of aircraft fuel, wool uniforms, and nervous sweat. Someone lights a cigarette. Someone else is writing a last-minute letter. Your sergeant cracks a joke you’ve heard before, and everyone laughs louder than they normally would.
You get a letter from home. Mom. Maybe a girl. You read it. You fold it. You put it close to your chest. It means something—but it’s not what’s weighing on you. What’s heavy in your chest is something more primal.
You wonder if you’ll freeze when the shooting starts. You wonder if you’ll even make it to the ground. That chute opens—or it doesn’t. You know too many stories. But then you look around at your brothers—those Screaming Eagles on their shoulders—and the fear doesn’t vanish, but it transforms. You’re not just doing this for the cause. You’re doing it because you can’t be the one who lets them down. You fear looking like a coward more than you fear death. And your momma didn’t raise no b*tch.
Then comes the call. Final gear check. Static line ready. You line up with your squad, waddling under the weight. Your platoon leader comes down the row, picking each of you up one by one—like a coach sending fighters into the ring. “See you on the drop zone.” The handshake lasts a beat longer than usual.
You trudge across the tarmac under the dim lights, the wind picking up, that awful sound of engines spinning up behind the birds. You climb aboard, packed in tight like ammo in a magazine. Bench seats. Nervous knees bouncing. The red light overhead stares back like an eye that doesn’t blink. There’s a stillness now. You can’t turn back. Nobody’s saying much anymore.
Then the engines roar. The aircraft lurches forward.
Wheels leave the tarmac.
You’re airborne.
This is it.
The Rendezvous with Destiny. No turning back. Only forward. Only down. Only into history”.

—————————————————————————————————————————-
And from that point on until they land on solid ground, their fate is pretty much out of their hands. Their aircraft, their pilots, the weather, their parachute or glider, and the even the enemy have more control over their fates than they do. And that goes for all of those riding the gliders into combat also.
They say there are not atheists in fox holes. I think that goes equally for those in harness in an aircraft going to come down from the night sky in one way or another on to ground completely surrounded by the enemy and make war. If they survive the one way trip.
The aircraft is not much more substantial than an flying aluminum soda can. It’s skin is thin and provides little protection from the shrapnel from flak, and none from bullets or cannon projectiles. The majority have no self sealing fuel tanks and those tanks are full of 100 octane aviation gasoline.
The pilots for the most part, are as young as the paratroopers and glider riders they’re carrying. They have trained hard also, but that training has taken place on nights with clearer skies and far better visibility than most will have over France this night.
During training they could stay in formation and follow their leaders. Tonight their formations will hit thick cloud banks and come apart as each aircraft breaks away out of fear of collision. Then they will have to try and find their own way to the designated drop zones. The vast majority will fail to do so and drop their human cargo kilometers from their designated DZ.
DZs that were to have been marked but weren’t. Because before them came the aircraft loads of Pathfinders that were to mark the drop zones for the main bodies of paratroopers. Those aircraft were flown by the more experienced pilots and they had only accurately dropped 20% of their pathfinders in the right places. And even those dropped in the correct place found that their marking equipment was not working.
Only a very few of those pilots have ever been under fire and experienced the cold fear a stream of tracers that appears to be coming right at you out of the darkness instills and learned the discipline required to continue on the course without taking violent evasive maneuvers that can result in vertigo and disorientation.
But that is all in the near future and right then there was a great stirring on the ground below the formations of aircraft passing over.
Down below all over the island they heard it and felt it. The throb of 1,000s of engines from the low flying aircraft.
The already war weary Brits came out of their abodes and watched and listened. They had seen and heard the formations of heavy bombers before. But this was different. The aircraft were lower and louder. This sound was not only heard, the throbbing vibration was felt right in the chest!
This was no exercise. This was IT! They knew it was coming, the signs had been everywhere. But most were still surprised when it did and even more surprised by their own reactions to it.
After almost 5 years of war the great invasion, the first giant step on the long road to ending the deprivation and losses was happening!
Some were so moved that after the skies became quiet they went to their local chapel to pray for those taking part, and for many that included loved ones
For others it was for the American boys who had lived with them in their houses as they trained and had become in effect, part of their family.
And they prayed for this first big step to finally ending the war to be successful. It was just to painful to even contemplate that it would fail.
Magnificent rendering of that fateful day.
Did the paratroopers land with their packs and ammo stores on them, or did they dangle from a strap so they’d hit separately and not contribute to broken legs with the extra weight on their backs?
Contrary to some of the BS you’ll find from AI online the typical American paratrooper had a load of 100 to 130 lb,counting the T-5 parachute and officers loads were typically lighter. The reason for that is some RHIP but on the aircraft it was the officer who was Jump Master and responsible for putting his other 27 troops out of the airplane. Some officers jumped first, while others jumped last after having put all their men out of the door.
Later NCOs were also jump masters after having passed the training course. I was a jump master. Unlike WW II we had other jump master qualified men who helped the designated jump master perform his duties. Those men, usually two per stick, were designated safeties and sometimes they jump and other times they do not.
When I was the designated Jump master for a door jump I always stood by the door and caught the static line as each man advanced to the door and then after the last jumper in the stick had exited the aircraft I leaned out and looked to the rear to ensure there were not hung jumpers before I exited.
But on ramp jumps out the rear of the air craft, like the c-130, the jump master leads the stick and is the first to walk off the ramp with the rest following. There were not aircraft with ramps for parachute jumping during WW II.
The famous leg bag was a good idea but was issued at the last minute and none of the American Paratroopers got to train with it or jump it in training before they jumped into combat.
The leg bag with it’s heavy load of up to 100 lb. was attached to the thigh and ankle with canvas straps having quick releases. The idea was that after the parachute opens and the paratrooper is under canopy, he would release the quick releases and the bag would fall to the end of the 20 ft. rope which was secured to one of the two D rings in the harness to which the chest mounted reserve chute was also clipped onto.
Thus the bag would land on the ground first.
But for almost all the Americans that used a leg bag it did not work out that way. Here are two short videos. One shows the typical load for an American jumping into Normandy. The other explains the leg bag and the multiple reason why it failed almost all of the American paratroopers.

thanks a lot, rah
saved me from searching and I wouldn’t have known to use the search term “leg bag”
Thank you rah. This gave me the feeling that I was there with them, feeling what they felt, thinking what they thought and wondering about my future. Beautifully written. That photo tells it all in a nutshell! Have a wonderful and blessed day.
Thank you…
BLESSINGS
Thanks for posting, rah. We can all use examples of historic events we should never forget. I grew up around WWII vets. There’s were not just ‘war stories’ . . . they are truth.
Today for the first time I watched the movie Fury
All I can say is that is about as raw and straight forward a view of American soldiers in combat as could possibly be portrayed.
It is not a movie that one who does not wish to see the reality of war should watch.
The acting is excellent.
The theme of what men fight for is straight up accurate.
All of the details of equipment and weapons are accurate.
And despite being pretty sure how it was going to end from almost the beginning of the movie, I watched every second of it.
I will make one addendum.
The Sherman tank in the movie that was crewed by the main characters had a 76 mm gun. Those that have watched the movie will have noticed that the Fury tank was the only one with that gun and all the other Sherman tanks shown in the movie had the shorter barreled 75 mm gun that was standard from the start of the war.
This mixture of tanks is accurate. Man crews opted to stick with the original 75 mm gun because it fired a more effective HE (High Explosive) round than the high velocity 76 mm did and thus was better against all types of targets other than the German heavy tanks.
In the movie they depict that 76 mm gun as being unable to penetrate the frontal armor of a German Tiger tank. But the fact is it could.
A couple more comments on FURY:
Men in combat don’t fight for Moms Apple Pie or any of the high ideals that they had when they enlisted or were drafted. They fight for each other. The here and now is all the counts and everything else becomes an abstract during the fight and those with you in it are the ones that will determine if you win or lose and if you survive or not.
The scene where they shoot the German prisoner in the back is also a depiction of how it was though not the manner in which it was done. That German was wearing an American overcoat and thus per the articles of war could be designated a spy and shot. They just skipped the trial and carried out their own due process through probable cause.
The tank the main characters were in was armed with a high velocity 76 mm gun. That gun was introduced in 1944 as a replacement for the lower velocity 75mm standard gun. The first ones were done through field modification, But it was not as simple as just changing out the gun. The whole turret had to be removed and modified to accommodate the longer recoil of the gun. Later versions had the gun installed and turret modifications done when manufactured.
The tank in fury had a muzzle brake on it’s 76mm gun. Many with that gun did not have that feature.
That tank was also the only one that had that gun. All the other M4 Sherman tanks depicted had the original 75mm gun with a shorter barrel and no muzzle brake.
This mixture of different primary guns was also accurate. The new high velocity 76mm was better at penetrating heavy armor and intended to take on the heavy armor of the newer German tanks. But most armor actions are not tank on tank but against infantry and bunkers and other targets and the HE round the 75 mm fired for those types targets was superior to that of the high velocity 76 mm gun.
To achieve higher velocity required greater pressure and so the shell of the HE round the 76mm fired was heavier and thus carried a significantly smaller charge of explosive in the warhead. So almost all tank units went with a mixture of tanks with 76 and 75 mm guns.
And now after that long explanation the detail in the movie that was not accurate. The High Velocity 76mm gun COULD penetrate the frontal Armor of the Tiger tank and often did when a anti-armor round with a tungsten carbide dart was used.
In the movie they depicted that gun could not penetrated the frontal armor of the Tiger tank they engaged.
About the M-4 Sherman. Those that have read up on WW II have no doubt read a lot about the shortcomings of the tank and the fact that the it brewed up due to the gasoline fuel it used. There were other problems that were addressed in later models. The ammunition storage for the main gun was vulnerable so a wet storage system was developed that helped prevent the stored ammo from cooking off when the tank was hit in combat. One short coming that could never be addressed was the relatively high profile of the design. This in part came from the earlier tank models the Sherman was developed from but also was a result of needed to ship all the tanks overseas.
Another shortcoming was the narrowness of the tracks of the Sherman, which made it more liable to become stuck in muddy or soft ground. This problem was overcome by adding track width extensions called “duck bills” to increase the foot print of the track so it could traverse softer ground without sinking in.
In my view the M-4 gets a bad rap. First off every single tank and all spares had to be shipped across the ocean. US main battle tanks had to be suitable for amphibious operations while German tanks just had to be able to cross a river, a task they had plenty of problems with.
The American tanks were all products of efficient mass production and were made far greater numbers than any of the mostly hand built German models were or any tank made by any other country during WW II. Production numbers for other tanks from any other country are relatively tiny compared to the number of Sherman tanks produced by American industry with some others added that were produced in Canada.
And German tanks had their defects too. The famous tiger tanks transmission was unreliable because it just was not strong and durable enough for the service it was intended for. The German tank turrets had to be hand cranked and there was no gun stabilization system on any of their tanks. The Sherman turret was powered and traversed faster than the Germans and the gun had some gyro stability in the vertical axis making it easier for the gunner to get on target while moving or after stopping.
‘
The Sherman was mechanically more reliable than any tank built by anyone during the WW II. They often went 100s of miles before needing anything other than routine maintenance and fueling. At 35 mph it was also faster than the tanks in it’s class and had a longer range on a load of internal fuel than any tank in it’s class. Unlike all the other tanks, Italian, German, British, and Russian, the Sherman had rubber pads in its tracks. The pads were for running long distances on hard surfaced roads and did their job well. When running long distances on hard surfaced roads the tank men from all the other countries would change their all metal tanks multiple times before the Sherman tanks crews had to do so.
Many a Sherman was provided to Russia on lend lease. And when the Russians went south to attack into Austria and had to pass through the Carpathian mountains and take the tanks long distances on hard surfaced roads, they choose their Sherman tanks and left their much vaunted T-34s behind.
And there is one other factor. Having a single model of main battle tank allowed for a very efficient recovery and rebuild organization. No other country came close to the Americans in their ability to recover broken down or battle damage tanks, take them to mobile repair and modifications centers near front lines, and get them ready for actions again and reissued to the tankers as replacements.
From what I’ve read the Sherman was in high demand in all the Armies. Whatever its shortcomings it seemed to do the job.
I’ve watched that movie twice. Your description of it being “raw” was also my initial reaction to the battle scenes as well as the tank crew’s characters, aside from the young green recruit. But even he was realistically represented by the actor.
The scream of the HV rounds from the Tiger tank was scary as he**. The fatally wounded nazi soldiers staggering out of a building with burning shrapnel embedded all over their bodies was as edgy as a scene gets.
But the actual vulnerabilities of the tank crew despite being inside that war machine was perhaps the most striking reality to viewers who had never experienced or understood the truth about those tanks.
That was not just shrapnel Bari. That was WP. Willie Pete/White Phosphorus! WP rounds served two purposes. They were smoke rounds and they were damned effective rounds for taking on most targets. You saw them being used also when they were shooting at the Germans and their antitank guns earlier in the movie.
Perhaps you noticed that they said don’t bother shooting them they’re burning up! But the new kid machine gunned them anyway.
They used WP to burn those houses and anyone and anything in them. WP shrapnel continues to burn even in the body and water does not put it out. The only way for a front line medic to stop the burning it to remove the shrapnel.
The Germans could not produce WP rounds for their artillery in near the quantity that the US did. WP was feared by the German soldier more than any other type tank or artillery round. When combined with the proximity fuse there was no where to take cover from it except totally underground with a nonflameable overhead cover.
So when the Americans came across Germans in a dug in position they liked to use WP with the proximity fuse to create airburst that rained the WP down on the defenders that thought they were safe behind the cover of an earth work or in their fox holes.
Wow. I appreciate the accurate info, rah.
I also found this bit on a web page full of alleged technical errors for the movie:
“In the final battle at the crossroads, Fury uses white phosphorus to burn the house. Phosphorus rounds were only supplied for the short barrel 75mm, not the high velocity 76mm, because they held too little phosphorus to be effective.”
https://www.moviemistakes.com/entry235345
Is that an accurate observation about the WP shells used only in the 75’s not the 76’s?
I don’t think so. But I’ll tell you what! I’ll dig out my copy of American Tanks & AFVS of WW II and see if that excellent and complete reference has anything to say about that.
Ok. I found what I was looking for on-line. The 76 mm smoke round was the M88 and used WP. Like the HE round it did not carry as much filler as the 75 mm round did. But the statement that there was no WP round for 76 mm is absolutely false.
I’ve told this story before
Was carousing on a mid-Atlantic beach after dark with my teen buddies in the winter off-season and we stumbled on this 3-inch diameter tube made of thin aluminum, gray, with markings indicating it was a US Navy “flare”, about 2.5 ft long … just above the beach berm onto the flat beach behind
Being the teen vandals we were at 15 or 16, of course we cut into the thin and soft casing with a pocketknife, it was softer aluminum than an aluminum beer can, kinda malleable but about that thick
Inside was solid white material, but soft, like a dense “cake” of material.
We shaved a bit of it into a small pile of powder atop the 3-inch log and were able to ignite it with matches
Then we backed off … quickly at first … then farther as it took fire, ending up about 2 blocks away and up in the dunes to observe
Before long, the entire log became engaged and lit up the beach like a thousand suns, light of day in the pitch black of night. No explosion, just burning
Before much longer, the cops showed up, 2 patrol cars and eventually 4 or 5 officers
They just watched til it burned all the way out, as did we
I’m thinking it was a serious emergency or search flare used by the Navy to illuminate a rescue scene or for whatever other tactical use they might deploy it for. Maybe it’d had a parachute to settle slowly and illuminate a scene
The markings might also have mentioned “phosphorus”, I forget … but I’m pretty sure that’s what it was, in whatever formulation they like to use for that
Ah yes – teenage vandalism – entertaining young men for millenia, I’m sure
The German Tiger had the famous 88 mm gun that could not only penetrate the frontal armor of the Sherman but pass from front to rear through the whole tank! The German Panther tank has a very high velocity 75 mm gun that also could penetrate the frontal armor of the Sherman.
Late in the war the US finally deployed the M-26 Pershing tank. Much heavier armor than the Sherman and a 90 mm gun that could penetrate the frontal Armor of any of the German tanks or Tank destroyers.
Famous tank duel at the base of the Cologne Cathedral.
Whoa. Serious but short and decisive tank duel.. The Panther never got off a shot at the Pershing.
The Sherman tank commander. The one that jumped out with a leg missing? He died in the arms of Andy Rooney who was there.
a welcome statement … good for him

American Revolutionary and Founding Father famous for his “Give me liberty or give me death” speech, dies at 63
Biography: Patrick Henry led the opposition to the Stamp Act 1765 and is best remembered for his “Give me liberty, or give me death!” speech.
Along with Samuel Adams and Thomas Paine, he is regarded as one of the most influential champions of Republicanism and an enthusiastic promoter of the American Revolution and its fight for independence.
A Founding Father, he served as the first and sixth post-colonial Governor of Virginia, from 1776 to 1779 and from 1784 to 1786.
After the Revolution, Henry was a leader of the anti-federalists in Virginia. He opposed the United States Constitution, fearing that it endangered the rights of the States as well as the freedoms of individuals; he helped gain adoption of the Bill of Rights.
By 1798 he supported President John Adams and the Federalists. He denounced passage of the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions as he feared the social unrest and widespread executions that had followed the increasing radicalism of the French Revolution.

Louis Chevrolet
(1878-1941)
Swiss auto racer and co-founder of Chevrolet Motor Car Company, dies of a heart attack at 62
Biography: Louis Chevrolet is best known for co-founding the Chevrolet Motor Car Company in 1911, which later became a part of General Motors.
Chevrolet was born in Switzerland in 1878 but developed an interest in mechanics and bicycle racing while living in France. In 1900, he moved to North America, working for various automotive companies.
Chevrolet had a successful racing career. In 1905, he won the first AAA-sanctioned race driving a FIAT. He became friends with William C. Durant, the founder of General Motors, and later raced for Buick. In 1911, Chevrolet co-founded the Chevrolet Motor Car Company with his Durant, his brother Arthur, and other partners. The company was later merged into General Motors.
After leaving the Chevrolet company, Louis and his brothers started the Frontenac Motor Corporation in 1916 to make racing parts for Ford Model Ts. He also became the vice president and chief engineer of American Motors Corporation. Chevrolet continued racing, participating in the Indianapolis 500 four times.
Chevrolet married Suzanne Treyvoux in 1905, with whom he had three children, and became a naturalized American citizen in 1915.
He has been inducted into various automotive and motorsports halls of fame, and a memorial is dedicated to him at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum.

Karl Landsteiner
(1868-1943)
Austrian immunologist and pathologist (Nobel 1930 for the discovery of different blood groups), dies at 74
Biography: Karl Landsteiner was an Austrian biologist and physician, best known for his work on blood groups. His work was instrumental in developing modern methods of blood transfusion, which have saved countless lives over the past century.
Landsteiner’s pivotal discovery came in 1901, when he identified the three main blood groups: A, B, and O. This finding resolved the inconsistencies and sometimes fatal outcomes that had previously occurred with blood transfusions. A few years later, in collaboration with Alexander S. Wiener, he discovered the Rh factor, further refining the compatibility of blood transfusions.
The practical applications of Landsteiner’s work are vast. Before his discoveries, blood transfusions were risky and often resulted in the recipient’s death. With his system of blood typing, safe and effective transfusions became possible, dramatically improving medical procedures such as surgery, childbirth, and the treatment of blood diseases.
Landsteiner’s efforts were recognized internationally when he received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1930.

That reminds me of a train. I do not recall a vessel ever doing that. We have three lift bridges like that over the Buffalo River some miles downstream from me.
The industrial base in Buffalo, NY has been decimated like most other places, so the lift bridge raisings are much less frequent than decades ago.
The ships here do sound their horns, just not as much as in that video. Maybe the Coast Guard requirements have changed.
I dd some digging. I’m posting some selected quotes from the article entitled – “Short Cuts: Why do horn signals vary when boats pass under Aerial Lift Bridge?”
(the Lede) – “In response to a News Tribune reader question about why ships use different patterns of horn blasts, a Coast Guard officer explained that it has to do with special occasions.”
(
quotes):
Paul Giddings, a Duluthian of 15 years, wrote in with an observation that ships sometimes use the “captain’s salute” of one long, then two short blasts. Sometimes, though, ships use the “master salute” of three long blasts before the two short ones.
Neeko Helbich, an officer on the USCGC Spar explained, the master’s salute is for special occasions.
“For the shipping season, the first time you come in and out to a port or harbor and you pass under a bridge or you pass another ship, they always do the master salute,” said Helbich. “Besides that, if it’s just a regularly transited bridge, like you’re coming in and out every week, they just do the Great Lakes salute, or the captain’s salute.”
The horns (or whistles, as they’re sometimes called) can help alert other vessels to a ship’s presence, said Helbich. That said, the exchanges of blasts with the Aerial Lift Bridge — so familiar to generations of Duluthians and visitors — are actually more a spirited tradition than a nautical necessity.
“You don’t even have to sound something when you go under a bridge,” said Helbich, explaining that technically, radio contact is sufficient. When he worked in the maritime industry in other parts of the world, said Helbich, making a radio call was typically all a vessel would do.

HYMN – WHERE CAN I TURN FOR PEACE
Lyrics
Where can I turn for peace?
Where is my solace
When other sources cease
to make me whole?
When with a wounded heart,
anger, or malice,
I draw myself apart,
Searching my soul?
Where, when my aching grows,
Where, when I languish,
Where, in my need to know,
where can I run?
Where is the quiet hand
to calm my anguish?
Who, who can understand?
He, only One.
He answers privately,
Reaches my reaching
In my Gethsemane,
Savior and Friend.
Gentle the peace he finds
for my beseeching.
Constant he is and kind,
Love without end.
And for the budget flier…: at 22 seconds…
I thought budget fliers get strapped to the wings😄

EACH DAY WE TAKE UP THE OFFENSIVE WEAPON OF THE WORD OF GOD – THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT – ONE VERSE OPENS THE DOOR TO THE CONTEXT OF THE CHAPTER MESSAGE
Verse of the Day for Friday, June 6, 2025
✟
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;”
Romans 1:18 (KJV)
COMMENTARY FOR ROMANS 1
(18-25) “The apostle begins to show that all mankind need the salvation of the gospel, because none could obtain the favour of God, or escape his wrath by their own works. For no man can plead that he has fulfilled all his obligations to God and to his neighbour; nor can any truly say that he has fully acted up to the light afforded him. The sinfulness of man is described as ungodliness against the laws of the first table, and unrighteousness against those of the second. The cause of that sinfulness is holding the truth in unrighteousness. All, more or less, do what they know to be wrong, and omit what they know to be right, so that the plea of ignorance cannot be allowed from any. Our Creator’s invisible power and Godhead are so clearly shown in the works he has made, that even idolaters and wicked Gentiles are left without excuse. They foolishly followed idolatry; and rational creatures changed the worship of the glorious Creator, for that of brutes, reptiles, and senseless images. They wandered from God, till all traces of true religion must have been lost, had not the revelation of the gospel prevented it. For whatever may be pretended, as to the sufficiency of man’s reason to discover Divine truth and moral obligation, or to govern the practice aright, facts cannot be denied. And these plainly show that men have dishonoured God by the most absurd idolatries and superstitions; and have degraded themselves by the vilest affections and most abominable deeds.”
Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
WE ARE FIGHTING A SPIRITUAL WAR OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

Amen.

Anger is love disappointed – joy is love rewarded.
RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION
Confronted with injustice so grievous
Reprehensible acts so nefarious
Wicked unconscionable consternation
Without reprisal the acceptation
Consenting to any of the above
Is not what God has proclaimed righteous love
What offends God should offend us as well
When conspired comes from the pit of hell
A personal affront or irritation
Resultant attack or accusation
Must never disturb or disrupt your peace
Its affect or impact must justly cease
Righteous indignation concerns God
An attack on God is openly flawed
Outrageous attempts to belittle Him
Are egregious attacks that are quite grim
Self-control is the essence of His Fruits
The spiritual warfare of God’s recruits
Strong, stern, and forceful will pave the way
Where Fruits of the Spirit will save the day
Righteous indignation used in defense
Exerted rightly is our recompense
Concerned with the treatment of others
Rather than injustice toward our brothers
Self-centeredness is not of the righteous
Nor a characteristic of the pious
Emotion is out of the equation
An unholy act of God persuasion

“Apollo 11” producer Thomas Petersen was listening to the mission’s space-to-ground communication recording when he caught sound of what he thought was a snippet of music from one of the astronaut’s personal cassettes being played in the Command Module. The tune was faint and he could not immediately make it out. Listening to it several times more, he was able to make out just enough of the lyrics to identify the track.
“What ever happened to those faces in the old photographs?”
John Stewart’s “Mother Country” (from “California Bloodlines”) was on Buzz Aldrin’s “mix-tape” and was playing in the Command Module as they headed back to Earth.”

When a rip in time brings together a charming 19th-century bachelor and a 21st-century woman, the potential for an old-fashioned modern romance ignites. Also starring Breckin Meyer (“Franklin & Bash,” GARFIELD) and Liev Schreiber (SALT), KATE & LEOPOLD is “a delightful charmer” (LOS ANGELES TIMES) and a timeless love story
