U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln, U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt and U.S.S. Ronald Reagan are at this moment in time? How about the Helicopter Landing Assault Carriers U.S.S. Peleliu and U.S.S. Iwo Jima? Know what other navies are presently task forced with them?

In Screams Aloud… 2 of 2

A sight to strike me dumb, this vision appears

In mist it comes and turns to be

A maiden is she, saying unto me

“This night you will be free!”

What’s that you say?

What is it that comes this day?

“Thru the empty years and hard felt tears

I have awaited you

Thru the chilling nights and times of fright

I have awaited you”

“Why do you not know it is life which you fear?

This thing you do not hold at all dear

You live in an empty world totally devoid of cheer

No one to love, any souls or kinsmen who you hold near

Alone you are, alone you have been

But this night I shall set you free!”

In Screams Aloud…

In screams aloud

I have awaken unproud

Lost in the dark

An unknown fear dwelling in my heart

Not at all clear this thing which I fear

Something not at all dear

Tis’ nothing there at all

Nothing large nor nothing small

It is alone that I am and alone I shall be

No unseen horror from which I must flee

Nothing save my own foolishness robs me of my rest

Nothing, but some unseen, unreal pest

My eyes grow weary of this dim night’s light

And no longer do I wish to fight

Or evade sweet sleep’s delight

I pray with eyes closed tight

No longer could I linger

Only to hear the faint distant voice of a singer

“Thru your empty life and times of strife

I have awaited you

Thru the sleepless nights and days of flight

I have awaited you”

“Thru the empty years and hard felt tears

I have awaited you

Thru the chilling nights and times of fright

I have awaited you”

“Why do you not know it is life which you fear?

This thing you do not hold at all dear

You live in an empty world totally devoid of cheer

No one to love, any souls or kinsmen who you hold near

Alone you are, alone you have been

But this night I shall set you free!”

In Darkness.....

In darkness I rise

Moving silently

Creeping softly

Slowly one foot before the other

Listening to the dark

Gentle breaths in and out

In darkness I turn

observing in dim light

The borders 'tween shadow and light

The bounders 'tween real and fright

Nothing here

And less over there

In darkness I awake

How long have I stood

How long have I paced

Standing guard in dark

All my sleep gone to waste

On this quiet Earth

On this quiet morning

In this quiet little town

Along a quiet little road

Stands a quiet little house

Alone in her quiet bedroom

My Lover dreams quietly

Quietly I sit and drink my coffee

As I quietly read my mail

And Kosmo quietly licks his paws

Quietly I sit and wonder

If quietly this is as it should be

And quietly I come to realize

There is no place I rather be

The 28/T95 was a prototype Tank Destroyer with a 105mm cannon that was in development in 1945. Unlike other U.S. Tank Destroyers of that period, the T28/T95 did not have a turrett having an Assualt Gun type configuration. This vehicle's most interesting feature was that it was double tracked having to outer sponsor units that could be removed from the hull and towed behind the vehicle to travel on narrow roadways. Once clear of built up areas the sponsors could be re-attached and effectively reduced the ground pressure of the vehicle on soft ground footing. Any further information, photographs or illustrations will be greatly appreciated, thank you....
