But the Charlotte leaders said, 'We don't expect a major address. Just come and let us honor you.' So he agreed.<br clear="none" /><br clear="none" />After wonderful things were said about him, Dr. Graham stepped to the rostrum, looked at the crowd, and said, "I'm reminded today of Albert Einstein, the great physicist who this month has been honoured by Time<br clear="none" />magazine as the Man of the Century.</span></b><br />
<b style="background-color: white; font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br clear="none" />Einstein was once traveling from Princeton on a train when the conductor came down the aisle, punching the tickets of every passenger. When he came to Einstein, Einstein reached in his vest pocket. He couldn't find his ticket, so he reached in his trouser pockets.<br clear="none" /><br clear="none" />It wasn't there. He looked in his briefcase but couldn't find it. Then he looked in the seat beside him. He still couldn't find it. "The conductor said, 'Dr. Einstein, I know who you are. We all know who you are. I'm sure you bought a ticket. Don't worry about it.'<br clear="none" /><br clear="none" />"Einstein nodded appreciatively. The conductor continued down the aisle punching tickets. As he was ready to move to the next car, he turned around and saw the great physicist down on his hands and knees looking under his seat for his ticket.<br clear="none" /><br clear="none" />"The conductor rushed back and said, 'Dr. Einstein, Dr. Einstein, don't worry, I know who you are; no problem. You don't need a ticket. I'm sure you bought one.'<br clear="none" /><br clear="none" />Einstein looked at him and said, "Young man, I too, know who I am. What I don't know is where I'm going.”<br clear="none" /><br clear="none" />Having said that Billy Graham continued, "See the suit I'm wearing?It's a brand new suit. My children, and my grandchildren are telling me I've gotten a little slovenly in my old age. I used to be a bit more fastidious. So I went out and bought a new suit for this luncheon and one more occasion. You know what that occasion is? This is the suit in which I'll be buried. But when you hear I'm dead, I don't want you to immediately remember the suit I'm wearing. I want you to remember this:<br clear="none" /><br clear="none" />I not only know who I am. I also know where I'm going." May your troubles be less, your blessings more, and may nothing but happiness, come through your door. Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil - it has no point."<br clear="none" /><br clear="none" />Amen and peace, my friends. And may each of us live our lives so that when our ticket is punched we don't have to worry about where we are going.<br clear="none" /><br clear="none" />Even at his age and with Parkinson's Disease, he could still deliver a<br clear="none" />powerful sermon!</span></b>Marchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01868587036933603413noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3521625620705224339.post-46690839773078477272015-02-26T16:49:00.001-06:002015-02-26T16:52:23.364-06:00The Evolution of the Telephone Network! <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: "Avenir Black"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Apple Chancery";">The words so struck the parents so that

The Story of the Pentagon 9-11 Flag</h3>
By Jim Garamone<br />
DoD News, Defense Media Activity<br />
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11, 2014 - Anyone who saw the American flag unfurled at the Pentagon on Sept. 12, 2001, knows how Francis Scott Key felt two centuries ago when he was inspired to write "The Star-Spangled Banner."<br />

The day after the terrorist attack on the Pentagon, the scene was still chaotic. Only essential military and civilian workers were required to come to the building. Parking was at Reagan-National Airport, as all U.S. airspace was still closed. As employees got off the Metro train, Pentagon police stood with weapons examining everyone's badge. Those without a Pentagon ID were told to keep traveling on. The conversation in the building was about friends who remained missing.<br />
<br />
At the site, firefighters were putting out the final embers that were burning in the roof. Then word came that President George W. Bush wanted to see the damage to the Pentagon himself.<br />
<strong><br /></strong>
<strong>Garrison flag</strong><br />
No one knows who originally came up with the idea for unfurling the flag to the right of the damaged areas on the building, but Army Maj. Gen. Jim Jackson, then the Military District of Washington commander, made it happen.<br />
<br />
He sent over to nearby Fort Myer, Virginia, for the largest flag they could find. The U.S. Army Band had a garrison flag the largest authorized for the military and sent it over.<br />
During Bush's visit to the impact site, 3rd Infantry Regiment soldiers and Arlington, Virginia, firefighters unveiled the flag and draped it over the side of the building. Then they stood and saluted.<br />
<br />
It was a moment that quickened the heart. The United States had been attacked, the Pentagon had been hit, friends were gone, thousands were killed in New York and Pennsylvania, yet the American flag still flew.<br />
<br />
That flag signified the unconquerable nature of the American people. Those inside the building already were preparing to take the battle to the attackers and bring them to justice.<br />
The flag flew on the side of the building for the next month. Each night, workers illuminated it with floodlights. Members of A Company of the 3rd Infantry Regiment -- "The Old Guard" -- took the flag down Oct. 11.<br />
<br />
<strong>A treasured symbol</strong><br />
The flag is soot-stained and ripped at one spot where it rubbed up against the building. It now is in the care of the Army's Center of Military History.<br />
It is treasured as the 9/11 generation's Star-Spangled Banner, because they, like Francis Scott Key during the British attack on Baltimore in 1814, looked to the flag for inspiration and comfort.<br />
<br />
Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light<br />
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?<br />
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,<br />
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?<br />
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,<br />
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.<br />
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave<br />
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?<br />

Moment for the US Navy in 1923<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Honda Point Disaster</span><br style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The Honda Point Disaster was the largest peacetime loss of U.S. Navy ships. On the evening of September 8, 1923, seven destroyers, while traveling at 20 knots (37 km/h), ran aground at Honda Point, a few miles from the northern side of the Santa Barbara Channel off Point Arguello on the coast in Santa Barbara County, California. Two other ships grounded, but were able to maneuver free of the rocks. Twenty-three sailors died in the disaster.</span><br style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The fourteen ships of Destroyer Squadron 11 (DESRON 11) made their way south from San Francisco Bay to San Diego Bay in the late summer of 1923. The squadron was led by Commodore Edward H. Watson, on the flagship destroyer USS Delphy. All were Clemson-class destroyers, less than five years old. The ships turned east to course 095, supposedly heading into the Santa Barbara Channel, at 21:00. The ships were navigating by dead reckoning, estimating their positions by their headings and speeds, as measured by propeller revolutions per minute. At that time radio navigation aids were new and not completely trusted. The USS Delphy was equipped with a radio navigation receiver, but her navigator and captain ignored its indicated bearings, believing them to be erroneous. No effort was made to take soundings of water depth. These operations were not performed because of the necessity to slow the ships down to take measurements. The ships were performing an exercise that simulated wartime conditions, hence the decision was made not to slow down. In this case, the dead reckoning was wrong, and the mistakes were fatal. Despite the heavy fog, Commodore Watson ordered all ships to travel in close formation and, turning too soon, went aground. Six others followed and sank. Two ships whose captains disobeyed the close-formation order survived, although they also hit the rocks.</span><br style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Earlier the same day, the mail steamship SS Cuba ran aground nearby. Some attributed these incidents in the Santa Barbara Channel to unusual currents caused by the great Tokyo earthquake of the previous week.</span><br />
