2…………> Recovery Sites: US Air Force

QUANG NGAI PROVINCE, Vietnam (AFNS) — The day Army Sgt. 1st Class Tommy Murphy died is still engrained into his daughter’s mind.

It was April 7, 2001, and Tycoria Johnson was just 9 years old. On that Saturday, Murphy, along with six other American service members and nine Vietnamese counterparts, departed on an MI-17 helicopter to investigate a potential recovery site.
They were part of a Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency mission in search of the remains of fallen service members from the Vietnam War.
Her father was a team sergeant, she said, who supervised and did much of the planning for the team.

But as the weather worsened, the helicopter veered off course and collided with a mountain hidden by clouds in central Vietnam. No one survived.

Johnson, now a senior airman based in Japan, recently volunteered for a joint mission with DPAA, where her father once worked as a mortuary affairs specialist.

 

“He would talk about his missions a lot,” she said, recalling the videos he would show her of people digging at excavation sites. “I knew that he enjoyed it and I think he would be surprised that I actually signed up to do it.”

On this #MemorialDay, watch and listen as members of the #USNavy Ceremonial Guard use poetry in motion and words to share the meaning behind today’s holiday.

Happy Memorial Day! Those who died for our great country would be very happy and proud of how well our country is doing today. Best economy in decades, lowest unemployment numbers for Blacks and Hispanics EVER (& women in 18years), rebuilding our Military and so much more. Nice!

5…………> Applied Global Warming: Oman

The cyclone Mekunu with wind gusts of 125 mi/h dumped three years’ worth of rainfall in a single day and leaving 13 people dead in the Gulf country of Oman and neighbouring Yemen, deluging a major city leaving eight people are still missing. 

 

The “extremely severe” cyclone left holiday destinations with empty tourist beaches, littered with debris and foam from the churning Arabian Sea.


The Port of Salalah remained closed, its cranes secured against the pounding rain and winds.
