US Marines on a Mission to buy Chesty Puller House

Image result for Chesty Puller HouseSome Marine veterans are on a mission to purchase the former home of one of the Corps’ most revered generals.
When the group found out that Lt. Gen. Lewis Burwell “Chesty” Puller’s retirement home in Saluda, Virginia, had hit the market, they scrambled to form the nonprofit “Chesty Puller House” and launch aGoFundMe site to raise the $400,000 needed to purchase it.
By contributing to help fund the purchase, former intelligence Marine Sgt. Maleesha Kovnesky, who is spearheading the effort as chair of the nonprofit, said supporters will be directly contributing to a place that will serve as a standing monument to other Marines.
“It’s the perfect place, perfect opportunity and perfect time to make sure there’s a place that fosters camaraderie [so] all Marines everywhere know they have a place to go and people who care,” she told Marine Corps Times.
Lt. Gen. Lewis Burwell "Chesty" Puller's retirement
Puller, who died in 1971 at the age of 73, had one of the most distinguished careers in the Marine Corps. He earned five Navy Crosses over his 37 years of service as well as many other combat decorations, campaign medals and unit commendations. He retired as a lieutenant general in 1955, but his legacy lives on, said Kovnesky, who served as an intel Marine and left the Corps in 2000.
The vets hope the 2,253 square-foot suburban house, built in the 1920s, becomes a self-funding venture over the years, with plans to hold events such as weddings, reunions, and promotion or retirement ceremonies on the Puller grounds.
“The intent of the house is to have a place for Marines to gather,” Kovnesky said. “It’s going to be a place available to Marines, kind of like a home base: If they can’t find anywhere to go, they’ll always have this.”
635786126845707625-MAR-Virginia-and-Lewis-PullerThe group is running against the clock, however, to compete with other offers on the house. The Marine vets are also in the process of acquiring a bed and breakfast next door to the Puller family home, and the combined seven acres and nine bedrooms between the two properties could serve as a place of refuge for veterans in need, in addition to a venue for Marine events, according to the group.
“This will be a cultural point of reference for Marines to make sure something as iconic as Chesty Puller’s home does not fall by the wayside” said Anthony Pino, a former captain who worked as an air intel officer and now serves as the vice chairman of the nonprofit. “If it’s going to be saved for anything, it should be put to use for Marines.”
The drive to acquire the home is not just out of nostalgia for the general, however.
Pino recently lost a Marine friend, which prompted the group to seek practical means of reaching out and assisting fellow Marines.
In a suicide note posted on Facebook, Pino's friend implored Marines to love and to take care of each other.
“His last line was ‘the door is unlocked,’ and so this is our attitude,” Pino said. “The idea that [Chesty’s] home would be used well before anyone ever gets to that point to take care of other Marines, I think that would make him happy.”
The group sees this as the natural continuation of Chesty Puller’s legacy.
Lewis Burwell Puller Jr., the Marine general's less-well-known son, was severely wounded by a mine while serving as a lieutenant in Vietnam. He lost both legs and parts of his hands, and Chesty broke down sobbing when seeing him for the first time in the hospital.
On May 11, 1994, Lewis Puller Jr. died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
“Chesty was a human being just like the rest of us — he’s still with us and still helping people like he always did; he was a Marine’s Marine, and always looking out for the E-3 who needed help,” said board member and retired Gunnery Sgt. Teresa Carpenter. “This is not a bunch of hair-brained Marines getting together, drinking and saying ‘Hey, let’s buy Chesty Puller’s house!’ We’ve really sat down, talked this through and really worked on it.”
The group has been able to provide earnest money for the home, but the immediate need is to secure funding to purchase it.
This last week they achieved the status of a pending nonprofit, which Pino said allows them to legally operate in good faith. They are currently working to open an account with a local bank to facilitate the purchase.
Pino said it feels like the group has "been building the plane while flying it," but that they are committed to realizing its vision.
“We’re at the point now where we’re running the risk of the seller pulling out and going with someone else if we can’t produce soon,” Pino said. “We want to do this the right way.”
The property is currently selling for $395,000 and previously sold in February 2007 for $315,000, according to its listing on Zillow.
"Their intention is fabulous," said Lee Chewning, the realtor selling the home with Isabell K. Horsley Real Estate. "I love the idea, but they need to be able to put their money where their mouth is."

US Marine War Veteran Faces Life in Prison for Marijuana

We all know PTSD is killing 1,000's of veterans each year.  There is one cure that works great, Marijuana.  I my self am a US Marine veteran with PTST. I know for a fact Marijuana works. 
US Marine, Kris Lewandowsk had survived tours in Iraq and Afghanistan as a Marine, but he feared the side effects of the dozen pills prescribed by a doctor would kill him.

That’s when the 33-year-old father of two began growing marijuana at home to treat his PTSD symptoms, his wife, Whitney Lewandowski, told BuzzFeed News.
The couple and their two young sons were living outside Fort Sill, Oklahoma, in June 2014 as his honorable discharge from the Marines processed. Finding the best mix of medication for his mental health was a process of trial and error, Whitney Lewandowski said, and one Sunday, there was an “issue.”
“We called for help,” she said.
Comanche County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a report that Kris Lewandowski had been chasing his wife with a knife. As he surrendered to authorities, they found six marijuana plants in the garden.
Local media called it a “major pot bust.”
“When we get there and we find out we have marijuana there that’s being grown, it seems to get worse,” Sheriff Kenny Stradley told KSWO-TV. “And then with children present this is a bad situation gone worse for the whole entire family.”

Though the amount of pot growing at the Lewandowski home would in many states be seen as appropriate, Oklahoma law has no provision for medical marijuana. Cultivation of any amount of the drug carries a sentence of between two years and life in prison — among the strictest penalties in the country.
“They tossed him in jail like an animal,” Whitney Lewandowski said.

Kris Lewandowski joined the Marines in 2005, serving his first tour of duty in Iraq. After returning to the U.S., he met his future wife.
“Everything was good,” Whitney Lewandowski said. “We were young. We were in love.”
They married in 2010, and her husband would go on to serve two more tours overseas. It wasn’t until after their first child was born that he began to open up about his previously internal struggles with PTSD.
“He had to admit there was more to it,” she said. “He wanted to get help so he could be a good dad.”
With injuries to his shoulder and back as well as severe PTSD, the Marines opted to medically retire him, his wife said, and the honorable discharge became official earlier this year. Kris Lewandowski had begun what would be a long road to finding the right medications to treat his diagnosis, which would later be adjusted to include bipolar disorder. The couple also began therapy to learn ways to cope with the everyday struggles of living with PTSD.
“We work very hard just to figure out how to live normally,” she said.
After his arrest, he was released on bond, and the couple retained a lawyer.
“We just couldn’t afford him,” she said.
The family moved home to California with authorities’ permission following the discharge from the Marines. The veteran didn’t qualify for a public defender after he was released on bond and believed that his case was on hold as he searched for a new lawyer. Instead, the court scheduled a jury trial, and he missed the first hearing.
“We can’t even get anyone to talk to us,” she said. “We would have gladly been there.”
After the missed hearing, the judge issued a fugitive warrant, and on June 18, Kris Lewandowski was arrested again. An unmarked car arrived at their son’s preschool where the family had gathered for a water day celebration on the last day before summer. With guns drawn, deputies took him to Orange County Jail, where he remains.

“It was devastating to my children and I,” she said. “They’re very scared and worried about Daddy.”
The Lewandowskis, both originally from California, were unaware of the penalties they faced for growing medical marijuana. To Oklahoma marijuana advocates, however, it’s the latest case of an overactive system that makes little distinction between pot and drugs like meth or heroin.
“We are very much the buckle of the Bible Belt,” said lawyer Chad Moody, who previously ran for governor with the slogan “God, Grass and Guns.”
The law is also applied differently county to county, he added.
“It depends a lot on what courthouse you’re in,” Moody said. “It could be very arbitrary.”
For a first-time offender, a 5-year deferred sentence is common, he said. If a defendant makes it through the probationary period, the felony generally won’t appear on their record.
But if a case makes it to a jury, anything could happen, Moody added.
“They’re drugs. Drugs are bad,” he said, describing the mentality of some jurors.
Norma Sapp, the executive director of the Oklahoma chapter of National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, said the state’s current marijuana penalties are the result of 25 years of tough-on-crime campaigning.
“Everyone campaigned on, ‘I’m tougher, elect me,’” she said.
For the first time, though, she said she’s seeing more interest in medical marijuana from locals who have heard success stories from other states. Her group will petition this summer to bring medical marijuana to Oklahoma voters. And though a similar campaign has failed in the past, Sapp said she’s hopeful.
“It’s getting much more recognized,” she said.

Recognition of medical marijuana is also gaining some traction among veterans groups. Kris Lewandowski had been involved with the Weed For Warriors Project, one of a number of groups that advocates the benefits of marijuana for PTSD and other disabilities.
But as a federal agency, doctors with the Veteran’s Administration remain unable to recommend medical marijuana, even in states where it is legal.
The VA’s National Center for PTSD reports there have been no controlled studies evaluating the safety or effectiveness of marijuana on PTSD, and therefore no reason to recommend it as a treatment.
“The belief that marijuana can be used to treat PTSD is limited to anecdotal reports from individuals with PTSD who say that the drug helps with their symptoms,” according to the center.



But change may be coming. Legislation to allow VA doctors to recommend medical marijuana passed a Senate committee in May.
Sen. Steve Daines of Montana, who introduced the amendment to a larger spending bill, said patients should be allowed to discuss what they want with their doctors.
“Our nation’s heroes should have easy access to the resources, services and medical care they need and deserve,” the Republican said in a statement at the time.
Kris Lewandowski’s next hearing is scheduled for July 22, and in the meantime, his wife is talking with more lawyers in Oklahoma, raising money for his defense, and petitioning Gov. Mary Fallin for clemency.
Though Whitney Lewandowski still fears for her husband, other veterans are also on her mind.
“It’s now going to be my business that this never happens to somebody else,” she said. “They need help. We need to give it to them. They served their country.”

Ed Freeman Made the Famous IWO JIMA Flag Gay

IwoJima

Want to know who to blame for making the biggest insult of the US Marine Corps Flag and made it Gay.
 Ed Freeman.  An image of Marines raising the U.S. flag over Iwo Jima that was changed to reflect the “gay” lifestyle with a rainbow banner has been making the social-media rounds in the days since the Supreme Court’s legalization of same-sex unions – and Twitter posters are in an uproar.
“Replacing the soldiers on Iwo Jima standing up the American flag with the gay pride flag is disrespectful,” wrote Mitchell Moyers, on Twitter.
Another commenter wrote, Breitbart found: “They really recreated the Iwo Jima flag with the gay flag. Just stop.”
And another, on the Washington Post’s Twitter page: “Yeah, where are the LGBT [volunteers] fighting IS launching their dear fellows from top of tall buildings?”
One more, on Breitbart said: “6821 people died in Iwo Jima, over 19,000 wounded. Apparently that ain’t nothing compared to gay people’s struggle huh.”
The original image came from photographer Joe Rosenthal on Feb. 23, 1945. Three of the Marines in the photo were killed in combat, along with the other nearly 7,000 U.S. servicemen who died in Iwo Jima. Another 20,000 U.S. troops were wounded.
The photographer of the altered gay rights image, Ed Freeman, created the photo a decade ago, but it’s been making waves since the court’s ruling on “gay” marriage. In recent days, he’s received hate mail and massive backlash on social media, he said, the Washington Post reported.

Zumwalt: The Navy's massive, high-tech destroyer is here

Zumwalt: The Navy's massive, high-tech destroyer is here 
The cutting-edge warship finally enters the water, chockablock with an all-electric integrated power system, an advanced gun system, radar-reflecting angles, and a striking inward-sloping tumblehome hull.

General Dynamics Bath Iron Works launched the first of the Navy’s next-generation Zumwalt-class destroyers on Monday at its Bath, Maine, shipyard.
The 610-foot-long ship is chockablock with new technologies including radar reflecting angles, a striking inward-sloping tumblehome hull, an all-electric integrated power system, and an advanced gun system.
Tumblehome hull
This exterior shot gives a good perspective on the tumblehome design. Meanwhile, on the inside: the cutting-edge operating system aboard the Zumwalt, known as the Total Ship Computing Environment (TSCE), was developed by Raytheon.
The TSCE is the first large-scale implementation of the US Navy's open-architecture strategy. It is designed to bind all Zumwalt on-board systems together and allow for a significant reduction in manning -- with an standard crew size of 130 and an aviation detachment of 28 sailors -- compared to Arleigh Burke-class destroyers.

Raytheon said the systems' open architecture design enables commonality across the US Navy's entire family of ships, which allow for easier updating and systems modifications for years to come.
Ready, aim, fire.

The DDG 1000 Zumwalt has a Peripheral Vertical Launching System (PVLS), with each PVLS compartment containing and protecting one MK57 Vertical Launching System.
The cutting-edge computer weapons system also features a couple of 155-millimeter advanced gun systems which can fire rocket-propelled warheads at a range of up to 83 nautical miles. The Navy said the gun system firepower is equivalent to having twelve 155mm howitzers -- giving the ship a three-fold improvement in naval surface fire coverage when compared to current capabilities.


Design features and systems 
The Zumwalt-class destroyer represents what the US Navy describes as a next-generation destroyer technology for deployment in land attacks and anti-surface and anti-air missions.
Workers at General Dynamics' Bath Iron Works in Maine will continue working on the ship through the year. The timetable is to deliver the ship to the Navy in late 2014. The first Zumwalt is expected to be sailing the seas and fully operational sometime in 2016, the Navy said.
Autonomic Fire Suppression System
Along with increased offensive capabilities, the Zumwalt's Autonomic Fire Suppression System equips the ship with an automated damage-control system. It uses a network of sensors, cameras, and automated firefighting capabilities offering the Zumwalt fastest response time to threats.

Enhanced stealth capabilities
With a quiet and efficient all-electric propulsion system, the inward-sloping hull design optimizes speed, maneuverability, and stability while minimizing engine noise and infrared signatures for enhanced stealth capabilities
Big ship, low profile
The absence of high-profile masts and rotating antennas, combined with a composite-material deckhouse, means the Zumwalt-class destroyer will be extremely low profile.
Water sleeting along the sides, along with passive cool air induction, also reduce signature thermal emissions, and although it's almost 40 percent larger than a current Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, the radar signature will be more like that of a simple fishing boat than a menacing military machine.
