VIETNAM and KOREAN WAR MUSEUM CAPE MAY NEW JERSEY
The sound is not very good at the beginning of the video. Just a few seconds......I had to do it that way so that I could 'turn down the buzzer' that went off when ever people came in. Please watch anyways. As you will see, Tom Collins needs donations to keep his dream going.
I want to explain 'why' the letter from Joseph Turnage and the Rosary were so moving to me and my husband. Our daughter was serving with the 3rd Armored Division in the first Gulf War. They were 'in' Iraq. At the time I didn't know this. I thought that she was in Saudi Arabia.....Two pieces of mail got through to her Unit. One was from my cousin Mary Hennissey from Brookline, Ma. She had sent A Soldiers Prayer for everyone. The other one was a box of Irish bread that we had sent. We lived in Wado, Maine. Because of her job Noreen was able to call the next day and tell me how amazing it was that just those two got delivered. She gave out the prayer cards and they were all enjoying the bread. While I was talking to my daughter on the phone I saw on the TV that the bombing had just begun. It was such a surreal moment. You can't imagine the range of emotions that I / we went through. The daughter telling the mother that everything will be alright and the daughter knowing that she was there watching it all...... It was alright and she did come home safe.
This is a Museum that everyone should visit. It was started by Thomas Collins and his wife. It is a beautiful and very emotional tribute to all of the veterans of the Vietnam and Korean Wars. It was the first time that I had seen what it must have been like to be a prisoner of war and actually 'see' the cage that they were kept in. Hopefully everyone
who watches this video will send them a donation so that they can expand the Museum. The song Show Me The Place is by Leonard Cohen. One of my favorite performers....

The Zip Code Revolt: The Town of Whitesboro, NJ Declares Its Independence
Historical and Groundbreaking Ceremony and Celebration Whitesboro, New Jersey March 5th, 2019 2215 Route 9 South, Whitesboro, NJ 08252. Facebook: facebook.com/town.whitesboro/.
[Whitesboro, NJ] On March 5, 2019, the Town of Whitesboro will celebrate the 117th anniversary of its founding, by Congressman George Henry White and Tuskegee Institute's Booker T. Washington. Former Tuskegee, Alabama Mayor Johnny Ford, and his wife, the Honorable Joyce Ford, the first African American U.S. magistrate judge, will preside. The Whitesboro Historical Foundation Museum will host the event from 11 AM to 1 PM on its grounds at 2215 Route 9 South, Whitesboro, NJ 08252.
Mrs. Shirley Green, founder, curator and executive director, Whitesboro Historical Foundation Museum indicates that this “Day” is a long-term vision and dream realized for our township. Mrs. Green also started this museum in 1998, serving as the Town Historian. Her goal is to continue to collect important artifacts that symbolize the history of Whitesboro African Americans, and the struggles and journey they face, even today. She strongly believes that this groundbreaking event, as well as the preservation of the museum, are milestones toward heightened public recognition about the importance of Whitesboro in American history; and the value added as espoused by the strong vision of Congressman White and Booker T. Washington.
Established in 1902 as a town exclusively for African Americans, it was created as a formidable response to increasing white resistance to the black population in Cape May County, New Jersey. Reverend J. W. Fishburn, The African-American Equitable Industrial Association Founder, and four other members of Cape May City’s AME Zion Church purchased the land, adopting the self-help principles of Booker T. Washington, as the sole basis of economic productivity. The former Radical Republican White and Southern investors led the way in settling the Town of Whitesboro in 1902. The slow steady growth in population continued until the Great Depression, after which the town survived the financial downturn, and continues to exist today with approximately 1,000 residents.
Mr. Scott Bryan Armstrong, Executive Director, the Town of Whitesboro recently wrote an editorial on February 23, 2019, the Press of Atlantic City, declaring that residents seek their independence. He strongly believes that his organization will lead the way in energizing citizens to reclaim the principles of Washington; rebuild the Town's economy through private-public partnerships; and reorganize the Town to preserve it’s historic identity.

The Jersey Shore prepares for Hurricane Irene
People are taking very seriously the potential threat posed by Hurricane Irene, which is slowly churning toward a northward track up the East Coast of the United States.
Along the Jersey Shore there already have been evacuations, starting at Cape May in the south and working north.
In Sea Bright, a town on a narrow strip of land between the Atlantic Ocean and the Shrewsbury River, Office of Emergency Management truck s are already staged in front of the fire station. And boats and a ski jet are at the ready to rescue people from their homes by watercraft if necessary.
The assistant manager of the Long Branch Family Dollar store watched as crews boarded up the plate class windows with plywood.
And in West Long Branch, the Home Depot was open 'round the clock to accommodate people in need of board up supplies, generators, flashlights and batteries.

As of the 2010 United States Census, the city's year-round population was 5,325, reflecting a decline of 111 from the 5,436 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 952 from the 4,484 counted in the 1990 Census.

The Wildwoods is used as a collective term for the four communities that have Wildwood as part of the municipality name — the Borough of Wildwood Crest, City of Wildwood, Borough of West Wildwood and the City of North Wildwood — together with Diamond Beach, a portion of Lower Township situated on the island. The city, and the surrounding communities that share the name, derives its name from the wild flowers found in the area.

F-5E Tiger walk around at NAS Wildwood Aviation Museum
Naval Air Station Wildwood (New Jersey) Aviation Museum has among its aircraft on display an F-5E Tiger. The F-5's initial flight was July 31, 1963, at Edwards Air Force Base, California. Initially designed by Northrop as a lightweight supersonic fighter in the early 1960’s, the United States Navy and Marines used the F-5E as an aggressor aircraft to hone the skills of fighter pilots and pilot/radar intercept officer teams. More than 2,600 were built by Northrop Grumman and under co-production and licensing agreements with Canada, the Republic of China, the Republic of Korea, Spain and Switzerland. One distinction of the F-5E is even though it has an arrestor hook, it is not carrier suitable. The hook would only be used in emergencies at land-based airfields. The single-seat version of the F-5E is capable of mach 1.6. The museum's F-5E last served with the “Snipers” of VMFT-401, 4th Marine Air Wing (MAW) at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Arizona in an aggressor squadron. (Video by Dan Gleiter/PennLive.com)

New Jersey student uprooted by Hurricane Sandy makes the most of his opportunity at Harvard
When Michael Wingate earned his diploma as valedictorian of his high school class, he didn’t have a wall to hang it on. Hurricane Sandy had destroyed the Union Beach, N.J., house where he lived with his mother and siblings.
