The windswept English Channel pounds itself onto the beaches of Omaha, Utah,
Gold, Sword, and Juno, and it tears and claws at Pointe du Hoc and other rocky
vistas, just as it did more than 80 years ago. It will eventually return these
places to the sea, but, for now, they stand firm and remind us of what had been.

<[link removed]>
| Alex Madajian

formulate a plan to allow all American military members to safely leave Syria.
The longer we keep American personnel in a rapidly changing part of the world
where no vital U.S. interest is at stake, the more difficult it will be to
prevent an unnecessary loss of life if the situation falls apart.

Medical billing is shrouded in mystery, and the final dollar amounts often

emergency room for treatment. I went to a large, nearby hospital off-base where
I received medical attention and was sent home.
