Book Description
Company F (RANGER) 425th Infantry was a unique unit. As a unit in the Michigan Army National Guard it gained a reputation with the Active Army as an excellent unit, that consistently displayed professionalism and successful mission completion. When the Army disbanded its Long-Range Reconnaissance Patrol (LRRP) companies to form the current Ranger battalions, Company F was one of only three remaining LRRP units left, and they were all in the National Guard.During the Cold War, Company F served as the LRRP company for REFORGER in 1984 and 1986. In 1982 it participated in the International LRRP Exercise TRISTAR. During the unit's assignment to I Corps, it participated with cells for the Team Spirit exercises in Korea, as well as several deployments to Fort Lewis to train with I Corps units.After the 911 attack Company F was ordered to active duty for two deployments to Iraq. While not always employed in its traditional reconnaissance and surveillance mission, it successfully completed a variety of mission ranging from convoy escort to training of Iraqi soldiers.Then, after 43 years of serving state and nation, Company F was inactivated in June 2011. At the time of its inactivation, Company F was the longest serving LRRP/LRS company in the United States Army.As Thomas Paine stated in 1776, "THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman." The part-time professionals of Company F (RANGER) 425th Infantry never shrank from their duty. They answered their nation's call time and time again. It is in their memory that this history has been written.RANGERS, LEAD THE WAY!

ISBN: 9780985617691
Category : Channeling (Spiritualism)
Languages : en
Pages : 414
Book Description
Is there really such a thing as heaven, where God has "prepared a place for us"? Or does life for us begin and end on planet Earth? Are all those orbs in the seemingly infinite universe just there for us to admire as we gaze up into the night sky? Or is there life on those other worlds? When we die our body remains behind on this planet, but where does the real us-soul, spirit, consciousness-go? Can something so vital one minute disappear into nothingness the next? Some say that we cannot know, that nobody has ever come back to tell us. But is this true? Many believe that angelic beings as well as "the dead" can transmit information to us telepathically via gifted human receivers, and many accounts brought through from "the other side" indicate that the universe is teeming with life. This compilation of three popular books channeled though Anthony Borgia-Life in the World Unseen, More About Life in the World Unseen, and Here and Hereafter-will give you a glimpse of the places we are destined to inhabit when our lives on earth are over. The World Unseen is the first volume in the LIFE ON OTHER WORLDS SERIES, comprising classic accounts of the afterlife, collected from many sources. Descriptions vary, yet a thread of similiarity runs through them all, just as descriptions of life on Earth by a New Yorker, a Tahitian, and an ancient Egyptian would bear likenessess to one another. Would you get on a plane to China without first learning something about the country and its inhabitants? Probably not! Yet most of us do just this when we approach the end of our lives on earth. It is hoped that these books will serve as a travel guide as we embark on our greatest adventure-the journey into the mysterious realm beyond this world, told by those who are already there. Are these accounts true? Only you can judge that for yourself.

City Unseen
Author: Karen C. Seto
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300241089
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
Stunning satellite images of one hundred cities show our urbanizing planet in a new light to reveal the fragile relationship between humanity and Earth Seeing cities around the globe in their larger environmental contexts, we begin to understand how the world shapes urban landscapes and how urban landscapes shape the world. Authors Karen Seto and Meredith Reba provide these revealing views to enhance readers’ understanding of the shape, growth, and life of urban settlements of all sizes—from the remote town of Namche Bazaar in Nepal to the vast metropolitan prefecture of Tokyo, Japan. Using satellite data, the authors show urban landscapes in new perspectives. The book’s beautiful and surprising images pull back the veil on familiar scenes to highlight the growth of cities over time, the symbiosis between urban form and natural landscapes, and the vulnerabilities of cities to the effects of climate change. We see the growth of Las Vegas and Lagos, the importance of rivers to both connecting and dividing cities like Seoul and London, and the vulnerability of Fukushima and San Juan to floods from tsunami or hurricanes. The result is a compelling book that shows cities’ relationships with geography, food, and society.

Unseen
Author: Sara Hagerty
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310339987
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
How do we find contentment in God when we feel so hidden? Sara Hagerty unfolds the truths found in the biblical story of Mary of Bethany to discover the scandalous love of God and explore the spiritual richness of being hidden in him. Every heart longs to be seen and understood. Yet most of our lives is unwitnessed. We spend our days working, driving, parenting. We sometimes spend whole seasons feeling unnoticed and unappreciated. In Unseen, Sara Hagerty suggests that this is exactly what God intended. He is the only One who truly knows us. He is the only One who understands the value of the unseen in our lives. When this truth seeps into our souls, we realize that only when we hide ourselves in God can we give ourselves to others in true freedom--and know the joy of a deeper relationship with the God who sees us. Our culture applauds what we can produce, what we can show, what we can upload to social media. Only when we give all of ourselves to God--unedited, abandoned, apparently wasteful in its lack of productivity--can we live out who God created us to be. As Hagerty writes, "Maybe my seemingly unproductive, looking-up-at-Him life produces awe among the angels." Through an eloquent exploration of both personal and biblical story, Hagerty calls us to offer every unseen minute of our lives to God. God is in the secret places of our lives that no one else witnesses. But we've not been relegated to these places. We've been invited. We may be "wasting" ourselves in a hidden corner today: The cubicle on the fourth floor. The hospital bedside of an elderly parent. The laundry room. But these are the places God uses to meet us with a radical love. These are the places that produce the kind of unhinged love in us that gives everything at His feet, whether or not anyone else ever proclaims our name, whether or not anyone else ever sees. God's invitation is not just for a season or a day. It is the question of our lives: "When no one else applauds you, when it makes no sense, when you see no results--will you waste your love on Me?"

Quiet, timid, and still haunted by the murder of her childhood guardians, Maggie Sheffield wants peace and healing not an opportunity to uncover truths so frightening that they threaten to forever unravel the world she thinks she knows. But when a dying friend gives her an ancient scroll that purports to contain just such truths, Maggie finds the lure of understanding too hard to resist: For the power that killed Maggie s guardians was not human and she has reason to believe the same power is controlling the Seventh World.

But the price of truth may be too high: for Maggie, Nicolas, and the rebels of Pravik are tearing at the veil between the seen and the unseen, between good and evil, between forgotten past and treacherous future and when that veil grows thin enough, it s anyone s guess what may come through.
