Their stories will be preserved and shared through exhibits, live and videotaped interviews with the veterans themselves, and the Roll of Honor, an interactive computer program preserving the stories of each individual. Guests will have the opportunity to leave messages of thanks for the veterans to read. A video recording studio will allow veterans or surviving family members to add their stories to the historic record, while a contemplative courtyard will provide a quiet space to reflect on the lives touch by these women and men.
Any servicemember who has earned a Purple Heart shall be afforded a place in the Hall. They simply need to send a copy of their DD214 to the address below:

Department of Defense launches Military Financial Education Program.
A general lack of financial knowledge makes servicemembers an ideal target for predatory money lenders so the Defense Department is doing something about it. "Equipping servicemembers with the tools and resources they need to make sound financial decisions is integral to both military readiness and the strength and stability of our servicemembers and their families." David S. C. Chu, Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, said at a news conference earlier this week at the U.S. Capitol building.
The Department of Defense has partnered with the National Association of Securities Dealers Investor Education Foundation (NASD) to launch the Military Financial Education Program. The NASD Foundation was started in 2003, and is part of the Defense Department's financial readiness campaign. NASD is the largest private-sector provider of financial regulatory services.
The multi-faceted program includes:
- An online resource center to serve as a trusted source for information on saving and investing.
- On-the-ground training to support the military's current Personal Financial Management Program.
- Educational tool kits for trainers and investors offering multiple levels of financial information.
The program's website, www.SaveandInvest.org, has a plethora of investor information and links to the NASD website, where further financial information can be found.

"Screaming Eagles in Vietnam: The 101st Airborne Division during the War" -- an oral history discussion and slide presentation by NJ Vietnam Veteran Peter Engelhardt.
Peter Engelhardt, of Summit, served in Vietnam from October 1968 through August 1969 with the 101st Airborne Division's 2nd Brigade, which operated out of Landing Zone (LZ) "Sally," near the ancient imperial city of Hue, and Fire Support Base (FSB) "Whip" in the Ashau Valley near the Laotian border in northern South Vietnam. Engelhardt was a college graduate who then attended Army Officer Candidate School at Fort Benning, Georgia. As an officer in Vietnam, he worked primarily behind the scenes dealing with operations planning and coordination, intelligence assessment, and psychological warfare exercises. He holds a deep admiration and respect for the airborne infantry "line" officers and their men, whose primary duty was combat. It is in their honor that he retells the story of his group of "Screaming Eagles," the nickname for members of the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division.

Fitness Corner - Ernest Razzano, Certified Fitness Trainer, ISSA
The Benefits of Pineapples
For a natural and tasty way to improve your health and boost your healing capacity, add fresh pineapple and pineapple juice to your diet. Pineapples are nutritionally packed members of the bromeliad family. This tropical fruit is high in the enzyme bromelain and the antioxidant Vitamin C, both of which play a major role in the body's healing process.
Bromelain is a natural anti-inflammatory with analgesic properties. It encourages healing, promotes well-being and has many other health benefits. Bromelain is very effective in treating bruises, sprains, and strains by reducing swelling, tenderness, and pain. This powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect can also help relieve osteo- and rheumatoid arthritis symptoms, and reduce postoperative swelling. It also helps break down the amino acid bonds in proteins, which promotes good digestion.
Pineapples also provide an ample supply of Vitamin C, a commonly known antioxidant that protects the body from free radical damage and boosts the immune system. Vitamin C helps build and repair bodily tissue and promotes wound healing. The body uses Vitamin C to help metabolize fats and cholesterol, absorb iron, and synthesize amino acids and collagen. Collagen is one of the primary building blocks of skin, cartilage, and bones. Vitamin C also decreases the severity of colds and infections.
When choosing a fresh pineapple, the most important factor in determining ripeness is smell. Ripe pineapples give off a sweet, fresh tropical smell. Avoid pineapples that give off an unpleasant odor, or those that have any soft spots or areas of dark discoloration.
Enjoy!
