Eight recipients of the medal of honor. So it is very difficult. What happens often times they heroism is recognized, but not at the highest level or to the silver star or the bronze star very few people are in the middle. He would almost for sure say that he didnt deserve it. He might point out to somebody else that was more heroic than he was he was very humble. He never talked about the Carnegie Medal and when i interview people that knew him when i did the book a long time ago people knew him well and i said what about the Carnegie Medal and they didnt know anything about it. He earned his medals and was very modest. He didnt think that he deserved it so he never talked about it and i think that he would have been the same way. Ive known a lot of medal of honor recipients in the foundation and most of them will tell you i didnt deserve this and it should have been given to somebody else. Its a piece of humility we all can learn from and he would have been in that category. For more
Into what worked in organizing. One of the problems with our media landscape is i could probably go find 1700 pieces on whenever the president shot on twitter yesterday. An actual helpful account of how to organize for Community Grassroots and power is asking too much. I know the richmond, california story, incredibly important doors has been told. Ive seen a couple of articles about it and yet its one of the real stories we should be learning from. Especially atomic all tomorrow which shares with richmond, racism, poverty. One of the most important things is the lack of a luxury to kind of get hung up on not working together.

A number of historic sites. Did not play a role . I was interested in stories. I read a lot. I had a Terrible High School teacher, i must say. He was horrible, but it did not dampen my interest. I read history and enjoyed it. I had planned to go into the Foreign Service. I was going to surf my three years in the air force, as a rotc commitment and go to fletcher school. It is connected to georgetown, it was a Foreign Service officer training school. My experience and being arbitrarily treated by the federal government in the military soured me on working for the government, so i changed my mind in japan, to apply to graduate school and i never graduated at all ive never regretted it at all. Any book you found particularly challenging or found something quite different . Im not sure i found something different.

Weekend, just a gorgeous friday afternoon for you if you are just getting off of work in brondon, its 82 degrees with winds coming in out of the northnortheast between 5 to 10 miles per hour. Notice no rain at this location, and really, our rain chance is going to stay low for the rest of this evening. Awesome news for the friday night blitz, as well. At kickoff tonight, temperatures will be in the upper 70s. Theres only a slim 10 chance of a very light passing shower through this evening. The air is pretty dry, so were not expecting to see muc comfortable temperatures, and it should be pretty nice as a cold front arrives by the final play. Winds will pick up, though, as the front arrives. So theres the front just off to our north right now. Its weakened quite a bit, though. By the time it gets here, unfortunately, it just doesnt look like its going to bring as large of an effect on our weather. So for the rest of this evening, winds will be out of the northwest.
