This Month in History

22 January 1969: Operation Dewey Canyon, perhaps the most successful high-mobility regimental-size action of the Viet-nam War, began in the A Shau/Da Krong Valleys when the 9th Marines, commanded by Colonel Robert H. Barrow, and supporting artillery were lifted from Quang Tri. By 18 March the enemy's base area had been cleared out, 1617 enemy dead had been counted, and more than 500 tons of weapons and ammunition unearthed.

29 January 1991: The first serious ground fighting of Operation Desert Storm broke out when Iraqi troops mounted an at-tack into Saudi Arabia along a 40-mile front. Iraqi units centered their efforts on Khafji, a port city six miles south of the border. Saudi and Quatari troops, supported by artillery from the 1st Marine Division and attack helicopters and other allied coalition aircraft, recaptured the town two days later.

2 February 1944: The 4th Marine Division, as part of the first assault on islands controlled by the Japanese before the start of World War II, captured Namur and eight other islands in the Kwajalein Atoll.

23 February 1945: Four days after the initial landings on Iwo Jima, 1stLt Harold G. Schrier led 40 men from Company E, 2d Battalion, 28th Marines, up Mt. Suribachi to secure the crest and raise the small American flag that battalion commander LtCol Chandler Johnson had given Schrier. Within an hour, the patrol reached the rim of the crater. After a short fire-fight with Japanese defenders emerging from several caves, the small American flag was attached to an iron pipe and raised over the island.

28 February 1991: Operation Desert Storm ended when the cease- fire declared by President George Bush went into effect. I Marine Expeditionary Force has a strength of more than 92,000 making Operation Desert Storm the largest Marine Corps operation in history .A total of 24 Marines were killed in action during the Gulf War.

Wreaths Across America: the Defense Department's top enlisted service member, Marine Corps Sgt. Maj. Bryan Battaglia, said that placing 100,000 holiday wreaths at the graves where veterans "lie in rest and peace on the hallowed grounds" of Arlington National Cemetery is a tribute to their sacrifices for the nation. "Our veterans deserve nothing but the best," emphasized Battaglia, senior enlisted adviser to Army Gen. Mar-tin E. Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and to Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta. Now in its 20th year, "Wreaths Across America" makes sure veterans' graves at national cemeteries are adorned during the holidays with large, evergreen wreaths bearing bright red bows. Thousands of volunteers -- veterans, family members, Boy Scouts and others place the wreaths on the headstones. "Isn't it great to to see that?" Battaglia asked. "It's very refreshing as a service member, but also as an American, [to see] our veterans held in such high regard that [people] would volunteer their time to come out here in the cold, as a matter of fact, to perform work in service and honor of our veterans." "Wreaths Across America not only gives citizens the chance to pay their respects, it allows for the spirit of the holidays for the fallen and their family members," he said. "To have this privilege and honor in such a digni-fied way, to spread holiday cheer and spirit," Battaglia said, "shows even though they may have gone before us, our veterans are still a part of our team and family." This year's largest wreath delivery, at three times its average size, began its six-day journey from Maine to the cemetery in a convoy of more than 20 tractor trail-ers and other vehicles, also bringing veterans and families. The parade of vehicles made stops at schools, vet-erans' homes and national cemeteries along its way. 10 DEC began with the wreaths arriving before dawn at the cemetery, amid a parade of backed-up vehicular and foot traffic, creating an early crowd of people vying to attend the ceremonies. Battaglia said the event spoke for itself. "You could see by the audience gathered in the amphitheater for the opening ceremony with standing room only," he said, "the number and mixture of folks here, ... who came here on these hallowed grounds to give their respects," he said. The wreaths covered many sections of the cemetery's grave sites, touching on dignitaries such as President John F. Kennedy, and winding its way from Civil War veterans' grave sites to service members just buried. The day concluded with the wreath laying at the Tomb of the Unknowns. "Regardless of conflict, our veter-ans have given and sacrificed much," he said. "[The least we can do] is what we're doing today." Battaglia said the family of Morrill and Karen Worcester who began Wreaths Across America made sacrifices, too, to make the annual event possible. "You really have to admire their motto of 'Remember, Honor and Teach,'" Battaglia said. "Even though a lot of the focus is placed on the children to grow up in the true American spirit, I've learned some very valuable lessons today."

Purple Heart: Lawmakers from Texas and Arkansas have been pushing the Army for years to award Pur-ple Hearts to the victims of domestic terrorist attacks such as the 2009 Fort Hood shooting, but have seen lit-tle success. Now, Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman (I-CT) said he'll take up the cause, too. At a hearing 7 DEC, Lieberman said he will try to insert an amendment in the annual defense authorization bill (currently in conference committee) to award a posthumous Purple Heart to Army recruiter Pvt. William Long, who was killed in a brazen 2009 shooting by a radical Islamic adherent. The case drew national headlines but was not technically classified as an international terrorist attack, preventing Long's family from collecting the military honor.


For the last three years, Texas Republican Rep. John Carter has pushed for similar combat status recognition for the victims of the Fort Hood shooting, where Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan killed 13 base personnel and wounded 43 others in an attack officials believe to be motivated by his radical religious beliefs. So far, those efforts have been unsuccessful, in part because of controversy surrounding Carter's bill language dubbing the attack a case of "radical Islamic terrorism." Lieberman did not offer any specifics on the wording of his amendment, and whether it would also cover the Fort Hood victims. Lawmakers at Wednesday's hear-ing heard testimony from Daris Long, the father of the soldier killed in Arkansas. He said his family felt dis-respected and disheartened by the military decision not to fully honor their son's death with the Purple Heart. Military officials said they sympathized with Long's family, but the law as written prohibits awarding medal in this case. [Source: Stars & Stripes Leo Shane article 8 Dec 2011 ++]

Sales Tax: Buy a product at a local store and, in most states, you'll pay sales taxes of as much as 10 per-cent. Buy that same product online from an out-of-state company, and it'll normally be shipped to your door without that merchant adding sales taxes. But you knew that, right? Here's what you probably didn't know: In many states, you're supposed to be paying those taxes anyway, either by sending in the appropriate sales tax to your state, or its closely-related cousin, a use tax (essentially,a tax levied by the state on any item not subject to sales tax). Of course, legal or not, virtually nobody pays sales or use taxes to their state for out-of-state purchases. But that sales tax holiday might finally be coming to an end. Businessweek recently reported that a bipartisan group of U.S. senators has introduced what they're calling the Marketplace Fairness Act [PDF], which will make it easier for states to require online, out-of-state busi-nesses to charge and remit state and local sales taxes. While many online retailers are obviously against this bill, Amazon.com feels that some form of online taxes is inevitable, and the company is looking for a solution like this bill that creates a uniform system and controls the administrative costs of collecting taxes for every city, county, and state. You can read their press release expressing their support of the bill at

http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=176060&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=1628503&highlight= While the letter of the law may currently rely on consumers to voluntarily remit uncollected sales and use taxes, there is at least one thing that consumers can do to save money: Make sure retailers don't apply sales tax to pre-discount totals. We all have made purchases with coupons and other discounts, only to find that the merchant calculated sales tax on the original price. Yet in every state that researched, this is simply wrong: Iowa's Department of Revenue is clear on this issue, as is Florida's, Colorado's, and New York's. The exceptions are typically rebates and vouchers for reimbursement issued by manufacturers or the government. In most cases this happens when you use coupons at restaurants, but it also occurs on discounted items by other retailers. In these cases, it is hard to say if an unscrupulous merchant is padding its bottom line under the guise of sales tax or if their poorly programmed computers are actually collecting and paying extra taxes. Either way, it makes sense to learn the laws of your state and make sure your retailer is not collecting more sales tax then they should. Today's consumers can still enjoy ordering goods through the mail without having the merchant collect taxes - but that may change. In the meantime, you can at least be sure that you are still being charged the ap-propriate taxes when you save money by using coupons and other discounts.

WWII Vets: Time, to be sure, is catching up with the 1.7 million living American veterans of history's greatest conflict. Many are frail or ill. But on the 70th anniversary of the U.S. entry into that war - at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941 - the remarkable story is how well so many veterans are doing. * Henry Heim, who survived the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and later flew bombing missions over Europe, recently crawled through brush and briars while on a hunting trip to get in position to shoot "the big-gest buck I ever killed." He's 90. * Ted Paluch, who played dead to escape a German massacre of U.S. troops in World War II, moved not long ago from South Jersey to Center City to be more in the thick of things. He recently got back from a four-day speaking trip to Michigan. He's 89. * Sam Ballinger, who fought in the Battle of the Bulge, still loves ballroom dancing and is a fitness freak who works out daily. He's 86."Everybody says I look good for a World War II veteran," Ballinger said. "They ex-pect to see an old man with a mustache and a cane." This is the wealthiest, healthiest generation of older Americans, ever. "It might very well be that these guys, who have seen everything and are now late in life, might become centenarians," said Carolyn Aldwin, a pro-fessor of human development at Oregon State University who has studied the life span of veterans. "The ones who are left are probably pretty hardy individuals." Seven decades after the Civil War, fewer than 1 percent of Union veterans were living, according to data from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. At a similar distance from the First World War, 2.5 percent of veterans were alive. Thanks to medical advances and the blessings of a prosperous post-war America, World War II veterans are doing far better. More than 10 percent of the 16 million who served in the Armed Forces are alive.

Even by 2015, by the 70th anniversary of Japanese surrender on Sept. 2, 1945, more than 5 percent will re-main, the VA estimates. The agency projects that 855,000 will still be around in 2015, 205,000 in 2021, and 57,000 in 2025. The last World War I veteran, Frank Buckles, of West Virginia, died Feb. 27 at age 110. Quite a few World War II veterans might do as well, or better. The VA estimates that 370 will be around in 2036 - a whole gen-eration from now.

Veterans often live longer than other people because they had to be fit to get into the military, Aldwin said. Many grew up tough and strong on the farm, or worked in coal mines or steel mills. After the war, the educa-tional opportunities afforded by the GI Bill gave many a safer workplace with medical insurance, pensions, and vacations - benefits unheard of by their parents. Penicillin and other antibiotics were among the first of myriad medical advances that saved millions of lives. Aldwin cites what she calls the "tough-old-bird" factor. These veterans survived some of the most dangerous years of life - their 50s, 60s, and 70s, when heart disease and lung ailments related to smoking often take a toll. Having made it until now, they're "apt to live for a very long time," Aldwin said.

Heim knows well the toll that time is taking On Pearl Harbor Day last year, he spoke at a ceremony in the state Capitol, at which he counted just seven Pearl Harbor veterans. Not so many years ago, there might have been dozens. "We're dwindling fast," he said. "I wouldn't say there's a heck of a lot of us." Yet, Heim is feel-ing well. Heim, who was knocked unconscious by a bomb at Pearl Harbor, says he considers every day as a bonus.


But he has always done so. "I remember when I was 19, I didn't think I was going to live another minute," he said. He left the military after World War II, but was recalled for duty in the Korean War. He ended up a ma-jor. He worked for Bell Telephone until retiring in 1976, more than 35 years ago. He and his wife, Kay, have been married 69 years. "I expect to be 105 or 110," he said. "Now, that's silly; but I have always exceeded ex-pectations." For decades after the war, veterans kept busy with work and family. As they retired, many became more inter-ested in the historic events of their youth, and joined veterans groups. Many of the groups are now withering. Some have folded. Others have opened membership to the descendants of veterans, or others. Last week, at a meeting of the Delaware Valley chapter of the Veterans of the Battle of the Bulge, 14 veterans were on hand. The group, which is one of the larger organizations still going, remembers a battle in the winter of 1944-45 in which 19,000 GIs were killed, 20,000 were captured, and 40,000 were wounded. Meeting monthly at the Coast Guard station in South Philadelphia, the group has $10,000 in the bank and is planning a 2012 bus trip to Gettysburg or other historic destination. Stan Wojtusik, who helped organize the group 30 years ago, gave up the presidency last Wednesday, turning it over to 46-year-old Gary Lambert, son of Bulge veteran Ed Lambert, 86. The younger Lambert, an Iraqi war veteran, said he hoped to keep the group thriving indefi-nitely. In attendance for the turnover were: * Matt Reluga, 92. A former sales rep who retired at age 62, who said he never expected to live this long. He had three brothers and a sister, all of them gone. "I think it's by being thin, by not being overweight," he said. Reluga, who was one of the first U.S. soldiers to enter Czechoslovakia during the Allied advance across Europe, attends the meetings "to have some activity" and enjoy the camaraderie. The veterans seldom talk anymore about combat, he said. It's enough just to know that the "other guy" has had similar experiences. * Sam Ballinger, the fitness buff, agreed that keeping trim was key. A former mechanical engineer from Bur-lington, he has a full head of hair, stands 5-foot-11, weighs 160 pounds, and has "a lot of girlfriends," by his account. "I don't eat meat, I drink soy milk, and I get a lot of exercise," he said. * Ted Paluch, at the meeting in a crisp fedora, said he felt lucky not to have died in his youth. On Dec. 17, 1944, the second day of the Battle of the Bulge, Paluch was in a field artillery unit that ran smack into a Ger-man heavy-tank battalion. After the Americans surrendered, they were stripped of belongings, grouped together in a field, and hosed with machine guns in the worst atrocity committed by the Nazis against U.S. troops. Paluch was hit in the hand, but hid silently among heaps of dead Americans, probably 80 at least. At the meeting, he carried two new books, both of which mentioned him prominently. One was about the battle as a whole, and the other fo-cused on the massacre. He has found, in old age, that he is of interest to historians. He appears to enjoy it. "Will I live to be 100? I'll try," he said. "I've got a couple more years. I'm doing pretty good." [Source: Philadelphia Inquirer Tom Infield article 7 Dec 2011 ++]
