Cancel several trains for the evening rush hour. But folks we talked with say so far their rides are available. Theyre just not there yet. So theyre dealing with delays. Not cancellations. But the people we talked to are taking it all in stride. Septa, well, might as well shut the whole thing down going through all this. It makes no sense. It is what it is. You have to just deal with it. Hope septa does their part and make sure all the trains are running the best as possible. We all get on which i doubt will happen. I can see by the lines, but well see. Today is the first day. Deal with it. Reporter delays have been running upwards of 45 minutes for trains especially trains trying to leave center city. Septa says that you should look at finding other ways to get around. Lyft and uber also been cashing in on all of this as well. One more note. Late word septa says theyll try to get a Court Injunction so that they can get septa workers back to their work stations and try to cut down on s
Now probably about an hour and a half ago. And just moments ago, septa told us that they did obtain a court order which prevents picketers from effecting the Regional Rails so they cannot interrupt service by blocking the entrances to prevent workers from coming to work and operating those trains as they did for most of today in the meantime were told those cancellations that were put in place earlier because picketers were blocking Regional Rail entrances they are starting to subside, but still a few trains are not operating. So youll want to go to our website fox 29 for complete list of trains that are still not operating, but again we just found out moments ago from septa that they have obtained a court order which prevents those picketers from affecting the Regional Rail service. No contract agreement tonight means a nightmare for local commuter. Traffic has been a messes as you know. Students have missed classes. A lot of folks couldnt get to work.

Often, lectures raise more questions than they answer saw i would be happy to do that with you. A year and a half ago, i he justd the book mentioned, serving god and country u. S. Military chaplains in world war ii. My research to put that together took me several years. I have studied a lot of American History. I have written American History. But i did not expect to be so influenced by Something Like this book. I have no sense of the crucial role chaplains played in world war ii. There, i had in my mind were these chaplains floating around during the war, a lot of them on the home front in america in those 600 plus chapels built on the basis and forts all over the country. Withthey went off on ships the troops, they were sort of in the background. Maybe in tent hospitals. Maybe they were holding Worship Services when they could. All of those things are true. But what i had no idea of was the hero as him perilous him heroism of these men. I have no idea of the crucial role they played
History. I have written history, but i did not expect to be so influenced by Something Like this book. I really had no sense of the crucial role chaplains played in world war ii. Indeed, i sort of had in my mind there were these chaplains floating around during the war, a lot of them on the home front in america in those 600 plus chapels that were built on the s and fortshe base all over the country. And then, when they went off on ships with the troops, they were sort of in the background. Maybe in tent hospitals. Maybe they were holding Worship Services when they could. And all of those things are true. But what i had no idea of was the heroism of these men. And in world war ii, it was only men that were chaplains. I have no idea of the crucial role they played in the war. Let me read to you a quotation from the commander of the 75th Infantry Division in world war ii. And his words are for the men and women under his command. This was general pricketts comment. He said, religion is b
I unleash the bombing again on july 25th knowing the danger this time. He decides to go ahead with it. Then okay well mark it with orange colored smoke which tells us, okay, dont bomb on this side of the orange colored smoke because thats the u. S. Lines. So the crew men are briefed do not do that. None of them want to bomb their own troops. What do you think happens on july 25th. Heres murphys law. Which way do you think the wind is blowing. Towards the u. S. Lines. So orange smoke is coming back towards the american lines, theres confusion by at least one or two groups and thats all it takes, they will unload their bombs over the u. S. Lines and there will be more friendly fire casualties. Ultimately 111 americans killed. Many come from the old hickory division. By july 25th, general hobbs hates the u. S. Air force. The 30th division is going to be told were sorry this happened to you but go ahead and attack. If you ever heard of the great war correspondent ernie pyle he wrote what t
