• The Breet Report – Expanding and Understanding An Aspect Of Knowledge

      0 comments

    Ah, families.  There are many things that happen during a child’s life when they are growing up… that make lasting impacts.  We all experience this, so it’s nothing new to say.  For my part of lasting impacts, an aspect of a family member bewildered me for years.

    Grandfather

    Most families have a member that has served in some war that the United States has fought.  Within mine, my grandfather was in the Army and fought in World War II. He was stationed in the Pacific.
    Growing up the entire family knew that the best gift to give him for his birthday, holiday, etc. was any book or video tape(s) related to World War II.  He was completely obsessed with reviewing that part of history.

    I remember asking him why he would read anything he could get his hands on about World War II.  The answer was always the same, “something isn’t right.”  Heck of a statement to make to a kid that is just going to ask more and more questions.  He never did answer the question either.  He only smiled slightly and continued on with what he was doing.

    Fast Forward to Now

    The headline today reads “Japan confirms ‘secret’ U.S. nuclear pacts.”

    What a coincidence because (like I do) I click around on the net to find out why that senator made the comment about ’the net should never have come into existence.’  (Something to that effect not long ago.) The basic “what’s out there that I shouldn’t know?” The word “duh” comes to mind since everything is on the net.  All one has to do is weed through and accept the parts they want to accept to get more knowledge.

    Well, the other day, two maybe four weeks ago, I came across the work of Jim Marrs and Joseph Farrell, which then lead me to another fellow.  (Ironically, both of these fellows gave an interview to the same people. Which by the by, thank you.) I got to find out why in the world my grandfather was completely obsessed with World War II.

    Short and Sweet

    If you haven’t already…make the time to dive into history.  Maybe start out with these two fellows to find out what World War II was…is…

    I’m not saying much about what I have learned. Why? Even I am having to start from the ground up to rebuild my knowledge/foundation of history during this time.

    With that knowledge/foundation, I have been working forward to the now.  It’s a relatively small period, sixty years. I mean, what is sixty or so years? Our history is much older…as we all know…so I would say just check it out.

    Only you can come to your own conclusions.

  • The Breet Report – American Citizens & Her Troops

    America and her citizens have a lot of pride when it comes to addressing freedoms and rights. The bases for the freedoms and rights comes because of the dedication from brave men and woman that serve in the Armed Services. Those men and woman are volunteers in the services. America has an Army, Navy, Marine Corp, and Coast Guard to protect against those who would take those freedoms and rights from her citizens.

    Most of Americas brave men and woman have a family and home that they leave behind, even during traditional holiday seasons celebrated here, to secure the future of the United States. The contact some men and woman have in the service is strictly with family, even on deployment; however, there is a site that is operational year round to provide other men and woman (that do not have a support group here at home), with the potential to feel remembered.

    It does not matter what season it is to participate in making an armed service member feel remembered, but this is the season of gifts, love, and family. Let us remember the troops and find out what they need (for a care packages) to support them at AnySoilder.com. They are apart of our country and the pride of this nation.

    The Site AnySoldier.com

    AnySoilder.com was established in 2003 by the family of a service member who was deployed to Iraq. The family learned that their son, Sergeant Brain Horn with the 173rd Airborne Brigade, “was living under extremely harsh conditions, after having been in Iraq for five (5) months.” The family realized that extreme conditions existed due to a report from the Stars & Stripes, a military run paper.

    In an effort to provide their support and love to their son who was fighting in Iraq during this time, care packages were sent to the unit. After a period of time, it was discovered that their son would distribute some of the items to other soldiers within the unit.

    The family decided to take matters in to their hands here, and began collecting e-mail addresses, corresponding within the community, and promoting awareness that a support unit (or group) existed here in America, should any other citizens want to be involved. As with all excellent programs, the beginnings started out rocky till eventually AnySoldier.com was created. (The military has secured other sites of the similar – like AnyNavy.com, etc.)

    The site, AnySoldier.com, contains directions for any citizen wanting to participate this holiday season in supporting the troops. The first page, scroll down a bit, even has a “How this works:” section for a citizen to know more about the where to send, what to send, what not to send, and FAQ section to learn more.

    Final Thought

    Up till last night, I had not heard of this site and stumbled upon it by sheer happenstance. Having read the information, and some of the requests, it was amazing to see just how much I take for granted. Though the season of gift giving is tighter than ever, and there are costs involved for sending packages overseas, it is worth letting the men and woman who do not receive care packages know they are remembered. It can be during any time of the year. For my part…let the reworking of the finances begin!

    To show your support too ~ here is a link for a button!  A great thank you to this family for creating this site!
