Restored Vietnam War Huey at The New Jersey Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Holmde
The Huey became the symbol of U.S. combat forces in Vietnam. In country, more than 12,000 helicopters served alongside our troops. The 7,000 Hueys that served flew 9,713,762 hours. At home, millions watched them fly on nightly news reports. The Huey is an iconic image of the Vietnam Era and a fitting display at the Vietnam Era Museum & Educational Center.
In February 2013, a group of veteran volunteers, many of them Vietnam Era helicopter pilots and maintenance technicians, began the restoration of a 1964 Bell UH-1D Huey helicopter. Every Vietnam Veteran has Huey memories to share.
Our restored Huey was dedicated on May 7, 2014, our Huey’s 50th birthday. Here it will be a fitting tribute to all who have served our country as well as a unique and historically important teaching tool for the thousands of students and visitors who experience the Memorial and Museum each year.

The Business my Grandfather started in the 60s Remains in Aurora, Oregon
My grandfather started his own carpet store in the 1960s in Aurora, Oregon. It was sold in the early 90s and my grandfather passed in November 2004, a day after my first recording of Outside the Box TV. I remember him often and my early childhood experiences in this small town south of Portland, Oregon.

Bell UH-1 Iroquois
The Bell UH-1 Iroquois (unofficially Huey) is a military helicopter powered by a single turboshaft engine, with a two-bladed main rotor and tail rotor. The helicopter was developed by Bell Helicopter to meet the United States Army's requirement for a medical evacuation and utility helicopter in 1952, and first flew on 20 October 1956. Ordered into production in March 1960, the UH-1 was the first turbine-powered helicopter to enter production for the United States military, and more than 16,000 have been produced worldwide.
The first combat operation of the UH-1 was in the service of the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. The original designation of HU-1 led to the helicopter's nickname of Huey. In September 1962, the designation was changed to UH-1, but Huey remained in common use. Approximately 7,000 UH-1 aircraft saw service in Vietnam.

Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young - The Cost of Freedom
Written before their famous song Ohio, but considered the most appropriate song to add to the flip-side of Ohio when that single came out on 45-rpm. A haunting ballad that could actually be applied to those who lost their lives at Kent State as well as all those who died in the Vietnam War. The saddest part is that many of those on both sides were the same age from the same generation. I think the most appropriate quote that came out of all that era was, America eats its young! The Cost of Freedom and Ohio will always remain as anthems for that generation and time.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The flag of the United States of America, often referred to as the American flag, is the national flag of the United States. It consists of thirteen equal horizontal stripes of red (top and bottom) alternating with white, with a blue rectangle in the canton (referred to specifically as the union) bearing fifty small, white, five-pointed stars arranged in nine offset horizontal rows, where rows of six stars (top and bottom) alternate with rows of five stars. The 50 stars on the flag represent the 50 states of the United States of America, and the 13 stripes represent the thirteen British colonies that declared independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain, and became the first states in the U.S. Nicknames for the flag include the Stars and Stripes, Old Glory, and the Star-Spangled Banner.
