-Caveat Lector- WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! ARTICLE 13 GI HUMOR – NTSB Accident Reviews Rated NPC – Not Politically Correct The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they had covertly funded a project with the US auto makers for the past five years, whereby the auto makers were installing black boxes in four-wheel drive pickup trucks in an effort to determine, in fatal accidents, the circumstances in the last 15 seconds before the crash. They were surprised to find in 44 of the 50 states the last words of drivers in 61.2 percent of fatal crashes were, "Oh, Shit". Only the states of Oklahoma, Arkansas, Alabama, Texas, South Carolina, and Louisiana were different, where over 89.3 percent of the final words were: "Hold my beer and watch this!" ARTICLE 14 MEDAL OF HONOR Technical Sergeant Yeiki Kobashigawa - Italy, 1944 Ed.: A proud American of Japanese origin, who was finally recognized for his heroic acts, 50 years after WWII. OH Yeiki Kobashigawa United States Army Technical Sergeant YEIKI KOBASHIGAWA For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty: Technical Sergeant Yeiki Kobashigawa distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism in action on 2 June 1944, in the vicinity of Lanuvio, Italy. During an attack, Technical Sergeant Kobashigawa’s platoon encountered strong enemy resistance from a series of machine guns providing supporting fire. Observing a machine gun nest 50 yards from his position, Technical Sergeant Kobashigawa crawled forward with one of his men, threw a grenade and then charged the enemy with his submachine gun while a fellow soldier provided covering fire. He killed one enemy soldier and captured two prisoners. Meanwhile, Technical Sergeant Kobashigawa and his comrade were fired upon by another machine gun 50 yards ahead. Directing a squad to advance to his first position, Technical Sergeant Kobashigawa again moved forward with a fellow soldier to subdue the second machine gun nest. After throwing grenades into the position, Technical Sergeant Kobashigawa provided close supporting fire while a fellow soldier charged, capturing four prisoners. On the alert for other machine gun nests, Technical Sergeant Kobashigawa discovered four more, and skillfully led a squad in neutralizing two of them. Technical Sergeant Kobashigawa’s extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit on him, his unit, and the United States Army. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- The Medal of Honor is the highest award for valor in action against an enemy force which can be bestowed upon an individual serving in the Armed Services of the United States.
