HONORING THE UNITED STATES VETERANS AND CELEBRATING IN THEIR ABSENCE

Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep.I am a thousand winds that blow; I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on the ripened grain. I am the gentle autumns rain.

United States Marines

Leatherneck: The nickname Leatherneck has become a

universal moniker for a U.S. Marine. The term originated

from the wide and stiff leather neck-piece that was part of

the Marine Corps uniform from 1798 until 1872. This

leather collar, called The Stock, was roughly four inches

high and had two purposes. In combat, it protected the

neck and jugular vein from cutlasses slashes. On parade, it

kept a Marine's head erect. The term is so widespread thatit has become the name of the Marine Corps Association

monthly magazine,LEATHERNECK.

Gyrene: Around 1900, members of the U.S. Navy began

using Gyrene as a jocular derogatory reference to U.S.

Marines. Instead of being insulted, the Marines loved it.

The term became common by World War I and has been

extensively used since that time.

Jarhead: For roughly 50 years, sailors had little luck in

their effort to insult Marines by calling them Gyrenes. So,

during World War II sailors began referring to Marines as

Jarheads. Presumably the high collar on the Marine DressBlues uniform made a Marine's head look like it was

sticking out of the top of a Mason jar. Marines were not

insulted. Instead, they embraced the new moniker as a

term of utmost respect.

Devil Dogs: The German Army coined this term of respect

for U.S. Marines during World War I. In the summer of

1918 the German Army was driving toward Paris. The

French Army was in full retreat. In a desperate effort to

save Paris, the newly arrived U.S. Marines were thrown

into the breach. In June 1918, in bitter fighting lasting for

weeks, Marines repeatedly repulsed the Germans in

Belleau Wood. The German drive toward Paris sputtered,fizzled, and died. Then the Marines attacked and swept the

Germans back out of Belleau Wood. Paris had been saved.

The tide of war had turned. Five months later Germany

would be forced to accept an armistice. The battle tenacity

and fury of the U.S. Marines had stunned the Germans. In

their official reports they called the Marines "teufel

hunden," meaning Devil Dogs, the ferocious mountain

dogs ofBavarian folklore.

CEREMONIES FOR UNITED STATES

MILITARY MEN & WOMEN

Procedures for U. S. Military Burials

A United States flag drapes the casket of deceased

veterans to honor the memory of their service to America

The flag is placed so that the blue field with stars is at the

head and over the left shoulder of the deceased. After

Taps has been played, the flag is carefully folded into thesymbolic tri-cornered shape. A properly proportioned flag

will fold 13 times on the triangles, representing the 13

original colonies. The folded flag is emblematic of the tri

cornered hat worn by the Patriots of the American

Revolution. When folded, no red or white stripe is to be

evident, leaving only the blue field with stars. The folded

flag is then presented as a keepsake to the next of kin or an

appropriate family member. Each branch of the Armed

Forces uses its own wording for the presentation.

U.S. Air Force: "On behalf of the President of the

United States, the Department of the Air Force, and a

grateful nation, we offer this flag for the faithful and

dedicated service of (Service Member's rank and name)."

U.S. Army: "This flag is presented on behalf of a

grateful nation and the United States Army as a token of

appreciation for your loved one's honorable and faithful

service."

U.S. Coast Guard: "On behalf of the President of

the United States, the Commandant of the Coast Guard

and a grateful nation, please accept this flag as a symbol of

our appreciation for your loved one's service to Country

and the Coast Guard."

U.S. Marine Corps: "On behalf of the President othe United States, the Commandant of the Marine Corps

and a grateful nation, please accept this flag as a symbol of

our appreciation for your loved one's service to Country

and Corps."

U.S. Navy: "On behalf of the President of the

United States and the Chief of Naval Operations, please

accept this flag as a symbol of our appreciation for your

loved one's service to this Country and a grateful Navy."

If the next of kin has expressed a religious preference or

belief, add: "God bless you and this family, and God bless

the United States of America." After an American flag hasbeen used for a Military or Veterans funeral, it should

never be flown again or displayed in any other way than in

the tri-fold shape in which it was presented to the next of

kin. In other words, the folded flag should never be

"opened" again. There are many appropriate display cases

available for purchase to display the burial flag and to

protect it from wear and fading.

What is System Restore?

System Restore helps you restore your computer's system files to an earlier point in time. It's a way to

undo system changes to your computer without affecting your personal files, such as e-mail, documents,

or photos.

Sometimes, the installation of a program or a driver can cause an unexpected change to your computer or

cause Windows to behave unpredictably. Usually, uninstalling the program or driver corrects the problem.

If uninstalling doesn't fix the problem, you can try restoring your computer's system to an earlier date

when everything worked correctly.

System Restore uses a feature called system protection to regularly create and save restore points on your

computer. These restore points contain information about registry settings and other system information

that Windows uses. You can also create restore points manually. For information about creating restore

points, see Create a restore point.

System image backups stored on hard disks can also be used for System Restore, just like the restore

points created by system protection. Even though system image backups contain both your system files

and personal data, your data files will not be affected by System Restore. For more information about

system images, see What is a system image?

System Restore isn't intended for backing up personal files, so it cannot help you recover a personal file

that has been deleted or damaged. You should regularly back up your personal files and important data

using a backup program. For more information about backing up personal files, see Back up your files.

Open System Restore by clicking the Start button . In the search box, type System Restore, andthen, in the list of results, click System Restore. If you're prompted for an administrator password

or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

TO CREATE A RESTORE POINT1. Open System by clicking the Start button , right-clicking Computer, and then clicking Properties.2. In the left pane, click System protection. If you're prompted for an administrator password or

confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

3. Click the System Protection tab, and then click Create.4. In the System Protection dialog box, type a description, and then click Create.

BACK UP YOUR FILES

To help ensure that you don't lose your files, you should back them up regularly. You can set up automatic

backups or manually back up your files at any time.
