Get Fit
Or get relaxed and ready for another day!!  AM yoga ...oooooommmmm.

Get Faith
Galatians "May peace and blessing be yours from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ."  Maybe you too have noticed how fleeting peace can be.  I do find some peace in yoga but it's gone almost immediately after I get up off the floor.  I pray and that calms me, but too soon the day's business is back.  The study writer tells of a day when she came home from work, stressed, and her husband said "pack up we are going on a road trip".  She complained about the yard work and such but he insisted and they went to a quiet place, stayed in a hotel and enjoyed the peace by the water.  Doesn't that sound great?  Get some peace today, I'm going to try!

On this day
1977  I worked out at the Rochester Frames and Framing store that Quality owned.  They were having a sidewalk sale and it was very busy.  Ginny, Chris, Lou and I went to dinner after we closed the store,  Chris and I had so many occasions with the different girls that worked for Quality over the years - all good memories.  Right Chris?

  1587 - A second English colony was established on Roanoke Island off North Carolina. The colony vanished under mysterious circumstances. This really sounds interesting!

World War II[edit]

US troops inspecting an enemy bunker, Kwajalein Atoll. 1944.

In the months before the attack on Pearl Harbor, Kwajalein Atoll was the administrative center of the Japanese 6th Fleet Forces Service, whose task was the defense of the Marshall Islands.^[30]

In World War II, the United States, during the Gilbert and Marshall Islands campaign, invaded and occupied the islands in 1944, destroying or isolating the Japanese garrisons. In just one month in 1944, Americans captured Kwajalein Atoll, Majuro and Enewetak, and, in the next two months, the rest of the Marshall Islands, except for Wotje, Mili, Maloelap and Jaluit.

The battle in the Marshall Islands caused irreparable damage, especially on Japanese bases. During the American bombing, the islands' population suffered from lack of food and various injuries. Of the 5100-man Japanese garrison (2600 Imperial Japanese Navy and 2500 Imperial Japanese Army) on the Mili Atoll only half survived to the end of the war.^{[31]  Yep, strategically well placed for a sound beating from everyone.  This took the last toll}

^{I believe.}

^{Enjoy the day!  Make it memorable!}
