(Bonus) The Korean conflict is an ongoing conflict based on the division of Korea between North Korea (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) and South Korea (Republic of Korea), both of which claim to be the sole legitimate government of all of Korea. During the Cold War, North Korea was backed by the Soviet Union, China, and other allies, while South Korea was backed by the United States, United Kingdom, and other Western allies. The division of Korea by the United States and the Soviet Union occurred in 1945 after the defeat of Japan ended Japanese rule of Korea, and both superpowers created separate governments in 1948. Tensions erupted into the Korean War, which lasted from 1950 to 1953. When the war ended, both countries were devastated, but the division remained. North and South Korea continued a military standoff, with periodic clashes. The conflict survived the end of the Cold War and is still ongoing. The U.S. maintains a military presence in the South to assist South Korea in accordance with the ROK–U.S. Mutual Defense Treaty. In 1997, U.S. President Bill Clinton described the division of Korea as the "Cold War's last divide".[1] In 2002, U.S. President George W. Bush described North Korea as a member of an "axis of evil".[2][3] Facing increasing isolation, North Korea developed missile and nuclear capabilities.

I thought the Middle East uproar had reached its peak. But it hasn't. As we face every new day, it becomes more and more obvious that our world is headed down a precarious path to destruction. We've seen this road before in our history. But, thankfully, in past such times, we've had leaders in Washington who knew how to embrace peace while seeking resolution with other countries fixed on U.S. destruction. We had Franklin Roosevelt in WWII, Dwight Eisenhower in the Korean Conflict, JFK, and Lyndon Johnson in Vietnam, both Bushes for each of our wars with Iraq, all who knew how to "manage" political issues. President Biden, on the other hand, is LOST! Today, we discuss the things that are specific and are haunting Americans daily. Whether it is on college campuses where Palestinian supports scream against Israel or pro-Israel students at some of the same institutions, we're watching the once-most powerful country on Earth deteriorate into mass confusion. And it's all lined with hatred, antisemitism, and all-out hatred. Let's discuss this one question: can we find our way out of this without DESTRUCTION!!!!

Multiple North Korean drones entered ROK airspace and even breached a no-fly zone near the presidential office late last year, prompting Seoul to order its own unmanned aerial vehicle to cross the border and photograph a DPRK military facility. The Yoon administration's stated eagerness to “punish” what it considers North Korean provocations has significantly upped the stakes on the Korean Peninsula, and the risk of miscommunication and poor signaling leading to conflict looks set to continue to increase in 2023. This week, the NK News team joins the podcast to consider the new risk environment in the region and other recent North Korea developments.

What if you had three months to prove that a cordless phone was possible in 1973? What would you do? One of the driving forces behind the creation of the cell phone was an FCC hearing…a hearing that was three months away. How important is a hard deadline like that when it comes to innovation? During the era of Trimline phones attached to the kitchen wall, avocado colored refrigerators and Saturday morning cartoons, Martin "Marty" Cooper did the only thing he could do: call a press conference and show the world he could make a phone call without any wires! This is an epic interview with the father of the cordless phone. Brad gets Marty to open up about his time at Motorola, that fateful call in front of the FCC, what drives innovation and his wife, Arlene Harris, who is also an inventor. At 93 years young, Marty is still sharp, witty and is still inventing. Marty shares his belief that the Wireless Revolution is still in its beginning stages, that this technology promises to help end poverty and disease and bring education and employment to everyone. About Martin Cooper: Martin Cooper is an engineer, inventor, entrepreneur, and futurist. He is known as the “father of the cell phone.” He led the creation of the world's first cell phone at Motorola—and made the first public call on it. Over nearly three decades at Motorola, Cooper contributed to the development of pagers, two-way radio dispatch systems, quartz crystal manufacture, and more. He is also the author of CUTTING THE CORD: The Cell Phone Has Transformed HUMANITY, published by Rosetta Books, $24.99, hardcover, $10.69 ebook, $17.99 audiobook 

A serial entrepreneur, he and his wife, Arlene Harris, have cofounded numerous wireless technology companies. This includes Cellular Business Systems, SOS Wireless Communications, GreatCall, and ArrayComm. Cooper is currently chairman of Dyna LLC and a member of the FCC's Technological Advisory Council. He was the first to observe the Law of Spectrum Capacity, which became known as Cooper's Law.

Father's Day, while generally a very special day for most, whether in the present or with loving memories, for many, it can be bittersweet. I am one who lost my father some 35 years ago and still cherish the moments I had with him who I idolize to this day. So, in the present, I appreciate the times I get to spend with my friend, Brigadier General Charles McGee, an upstanding, humble, patriotic, God fearing gentleman, who rightfully so, is a true national treasure, perfectly representing the Dads who served to protect our country.After many years of everyone interviewing Brigadier General Charles McGee and his family members about his amazing and storied military flying career, it occured to me how nice it would be to talk with the General and his family about the family side of his legendary accomplishments. And, although I have been close to them for a number of years, I was pleasantly surprised with their candor about family life in the shadow of their iconic father as well as his about meeting expectations at work and at home.As you will hear, there are some revealing comments from all four of them that show their human side and put an exclamation point on the realities of the kind of military life so many have and currently do experience.What and honor and privilege it has been to share the celebration and acknowledgement of Father's Day with such an iconic, yet humble family. I felt fortunate to be in their presence and cherish the special bond and friendship we have formed. I guess you could say, they make me feel like one of the family, and it doesn't get any better than that.I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.Here's a little on his background for keepsake:On December 7th, famed Tuskegee Airman, Air Force Retired, Brigadier General Charles E. McGee will turned 101 years old. And, what a world class example of positivity, humility, and patriotism he is. Imagine what Brigadier General McGee has seen, since being born over a century ago, in 1919. Why just in 2020 alone, by the time he was honored by NASA, participated in this year's Super Bowl Coin Toss, had his General's star pinned on at the White House, and saluted the world during the State of the Union, Brigadier General McGee was already at full throttle before Black History month was even over. The Tuskegee Airmen story by itself is worthy of its own conversation. Of the nearly 1,000 pilots, more than a third of them flew combat missions; And almost 10,000 Tuskegee Airmen were support personnel, yes, very much like ‘Hidden Figures', there were thousands of African Americans who supported the Tuskegee Airmen pilots that flew into harm's way. They were maintenance, operations, administration, food services, intelligence officers, and the list goes on, and on, and on. Brigadier General McGee will tell you in a heartbeat, how vital the role of operational support was to safety and security of the Tuskegee Airmen, and that they could not have completed their missions without them.Brigadier General Charles McGee is originally from Cleveland, Ohio; At 21 years of age, he received the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award; Not long after that, he was “selected” while studying Aerospace Engineering at University of Illinois to head to Tuskegee, Alabama for the Tuskegee Airmen flight training program; that was in 1942; by June of 1943, Brigadier General McGee was a Tuskegee Airman; since then, he has flown 37 different aircraft, received more medals and accommodations than we have time to list, this week; and has flown 409 missions in three wars; World War II, the Korean Conflict, and Vietnam; he also commanded bases and flight squadrons both overseas and here in the United States.

Welcome to Montrose Fresh, from The Montrose Daily Press. It's FridayMay 14th, and we're here with local news, events, announcements, jobs, and more that matter to us here in Western Colorado.    Today - Camping World, America's largest retailer of RVs and related products and services, announced its acquisition last month of Montrose's Nomad Reservations.   Today's episode is brought to you by Elevate Internet. Whether it's for your home or your business they offer the best speeds at the best price. Right now, if you refer a friend you can get $25 off! Give them a call for more information at 844-386-8744 or visit them at www.elevateinternet.com.   Now, our feature story…   Camping World, America's largest retailer of RVs and related products and services, announced its acquisition last month of Nomad Reservations.   Nomad helps travelers find and book campsites. They also offer campsite owners a property management system.   Nomad Reservations was co-founded by CEO Heath Padgett and CTO Paul Ryan, who has been instrumental in creating the product.    They both spent years as full-time RVers, meeting at campsites a few times a year before eventually developing the idea for Campground Booking. They understand the struggles that can come with booking campsite reservations.   The company relocated to Montrose last year and got funds from the Greater Colorado Venture Fund. They pitched during the Greater Colorado Pitch Series, an investment initiative for rural Colorado companies.   Camping World approached Padgett, Nomad's CEO, this past January, looking to partner or invest. At the time talks revolved around potentially investing, but the two sides realized their roadmaps were similar.   Hiring locally and not having to relocate, staying in Montrose were “meaningful” parts of the conversations.   And when he announced the acquisition, Marcus Lemonis, CEO and chairman of Camping World Holdings said that his technology acquisition complements their other launches. Those launches include a Peer-to-Peer RV Rental Platform.   The more the two parties talked, the more it was an interesting proposition. Since then, Nomad has already brought on two more developers. And they're hiring two more support roles,  as well as another account executive.   With the acquisition, Campground Booking will now work closely with Good Sam, an organization of RV owners focused on making RVing safer. Good Sam has more than 2 million members.   And since the relocation to Montrose, Campground Booking has added eight jobs, including some team members that already lived in Montrose, like Dennis Lankes, co-founder of Montrose's Proximity Space.    Padgett told the Montrose Daily Press the company is looking to add three to four positions in Montrose.   The most significant challenge now, according to Padgett, is learning how to balance demand, with supply issues. The latest reports show a 48% increase in total RV shipments from 2020 to 2021.   This year, Campground Booking is somewhat avoiding a revenue-based goal, instead focusing on getting to 500 parks on the platform. They're looking at how they can create a meaningful booking network. That includes helping businesses in the United States that don't have a booking platform yet.   And Nomad Reservations is just the latest outdoor-based company in Montrose to see successful trends in the past year. Geyser Systems, Colorado Yurt, Colorado Outdoors, Ed's Fly Shop and others all reported seeing increased interest in their products and the outdoor industry as a whole.   Stay up to date on this story by visiting us at montrosepress.com   -   Now, some local history.

Give them a call at 970-249-4430, or head over to their website englandfence.com. Did you know that the Shavano Valley Rock Art Site dates back to 1000 BC? One of the 26 panels of petroglyphs created by early Ute inhabitants depict the life of people in the Uncompahgre Plateau. There are carvings of animals, trees, human figures, ceremonial dances, and abstract art. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001, you can visit it today by scheduling a tour at History Colorado's Ute Indian Museum here in Montrose.   -   And finally, before we go we'd like to remember the life of Ralph William Darling of Montrose.   Ralph and his twin brother, Bob, were born in 1930, in Chicago, Illinois. They were the fifth and sixth of eight children. In 1953 he married Dorothea Somers, his wife of 51 years.   Ralph joined the Marines during the Korean Conflict, serving as a master drill sergeant and was wounded twice in battle. He rarely spoke of his battle experiences, but he held great pride in being a Marine to his last day. Right before he passed, he asked for his Marine ball cap to be placed on his head.   He lived in and served the city of Mt. Prospect, Illinois, both as a police officer and as a public works supervisor. He retired in 1987, and they moved to Montrose. There they enjoyed making new friends, dining at the Red Barn and taking scenic car rides through the mountains.    They ran a holiday caramel corn business called Mrs. D and Me for many years. Ralph enjoyed hunting and fishing and watching his beloved Chicago Cubs and Chicago Bears win or lose — if they played, he was a happy, loyal fan.    He loved to drink a cold beer, tell a few jokes and just be with friends. Ralph had a big personality and never met a stranger. He was loyal, hard-working, and loved to laugh as much as he yelled. He will be dearly missed.   Thank you for taking the time today to remember and celebrate Ralph's life.   -   That's all for today, thank you for listening!

You're listening to the Westerly Sun's podcast, where we talk about news, the best local events, new job postings, obituaries, and more. First, a bit of Rhode Island trivia. Today's trivia is brought to you by Perennial. Perennial's new plant-based drink “Daily Gut & Brain” is a blend of easily digestible nutrients crafted for gut and brain health. A convenient mini-meal, Daily Gut & Brain” is available now at the CVS Pharmacy in Wakefield. Did you know that Pelham Street in Newport was the first street in the country to use gas-illuminated streetlight? Invented in either 1803 or 1805, David Melville used it to illuminate the street. In 1810, he obtained a patent for the invention though he was unable to secure funding to sell them. Today, A street light marks the spot where Melville's original creation stood. Next to the commemorative light, there's a plaque that memorializes his achievement.  Now, we turn our feature story The state Department of Health has started to allocate a small number of COVID-19 vaccines to cities and towns for residents who are 75 or older. The small allocation precedes a larger rollout planned for the same age group in mid-February. In Westerly, town staff, Westerly police and personnel at the Westerly Housing Authority and Westerly Senior Center registered 110 residents for the doses allocated to the town. Most of the people who were called were randomly selected using the municipal voter roll. According to Town Manager, J. Mark Rooney, Registered voters who are 75 and older were identified from the list and the names were then sorted randomly using the last four numbers of their phone numbers. Some of the 34 housing authority and senior center individuals were not taken from the voter list in order to include individuals who might not be registered to vote. Rooney said "We tried to get across the demographic as best we could,". The first round of shots will be administered Sunday and Wednesday at South Road Elementary School in Wakefield. The school has been used as a vaccine location over the last several weeks for police and other first responders from Westerly, Charlestown, Hopkinton, Richmond, Narragansett and North Kingstown. Police Chief Shawn Lacey said town officials anticipate being approved for 160 doses per week for four weeks starting around mid-February. Those additional doses will be administered at a site in the town and that registration, on a first-come first-served basis, will be organized through a state website. There are about 2,200 Westerly residents who are 75 or older so it's clear that while this is a start, much more will need to be done.

He was born in Ashaway, a graduate of Westerly High School, and a Sergeant in the US Army during the Korean Conflict.

IN THE COMPANY OF PATRIOTS Virginia Brackett seeks the truth about patriotism and loss as embodied by her father, WWII and Korean Conflict veteran Captain Edmund C. Roberts, from many historic sources – journalism, history texts, and military communiques, as well as personal documents. Her memoir details her journey to come to know a father lost to an ideal of service. Over ten years of research, she learns about her family’s slave-owning history and attempts to escape personal tragedy by moving from Kentucky to Missouri and into Illinois, of her parents’ romance through aging scrapbooks, discovers a letter written by her father among a rare documents collection, and hears her mother’s words read on a national broadcast. However, she discovers the real truth exists in the personal stories of those on the front, including her father, their lives permanently changed through service. Their voices educate her about Captain Roberts, an inspiration to troops, a war prisoner and an escapee, a decorated hero who met with General Patton, a ferocious infantryman. Killed by a sniper in the Korean Conflict, he would come to symbolize the shared values of his military community that became lifelong bonds for those who survived. As Brackett will learn, memories of her father run deep, and the extraordinary loyalty and devotion of those who remember Captain Roberts move her beyond feelings of betrayal that haunted her for decades. The crucial truth she discovers is that we must keep alive those lost by telling their stories. That is because their stories belong to everyone. Virginia Brackett, Professor Emeritus of English, retired in 2016 from Park University where she received varied teaching and service awards, including Faculty of the Year, 2013, Exceptional Services to Student Veterans.

This time, Force Fed Sci-Fi takes a look at an overlooked classic in The Thing From Another World (1951 film) and discussed during our review about how problematic an author can truly be, why American history from the 1950's provides context for the film, and does this film actually surpass its subsequent remakes? Let's dig in and find out... Differences Between the Film and Novella It's important to note that this film is based on a novella originally titled Who Goes There? by John W. Campbell and let's just say there were many differences between the source material and the final product: The novella takes place at a research station in Antarctica while the film is set in the Arctic Circle. The design of the Thing is actually considerably different. In the novella, it's described as having three eyes and is noted for having telepathic abilities and the ability to shapeshift. In the film, The Thing has become a plant-based humanoid creature with the ability to regenerate and subsists on blood. The crew of the research station in the novella is notably all male while the film contains a somewhat diverse crew of male and females. The film is still male heavy, it is the 1950's after all The novella is much darker than the film with the research station containing a full working farm containing a whole stable of cattle who are then slaughtered so they will not be killed by The Thing and the story ends with 14 of the station's inhabitants being gruesomely killed whereas in the film, only 2 of the researchers are killed along with the sled dog team John W. Campbell In addition to the notable differences between the novella and the film, the author Campbell, wasn't exactly the nicest of people. He is described as taking the “devil's advocate” approach to many topics and had many problematic views on slavery, integration and the Civil War. He was also a notorious chain smoker and even disputed the link between smoking and lung cancer and even embraced many branches of pseudoscience in the hopes of expanding medical discovery. He also wrote and glowingly praised the historical (villain) L. Ron Hubbard and began to experiment in Dianetics. Let's just say Campbell was problematic to say the least. At The Time of the Film.. The Thing From Another World was released in 1951 and it's important to understand the American cultural lexicon at the time. The Korean Conflict was just ramping up and would end in a stalemate a few years later. This was a serious blow to American morale as we were coming off a victory lap following World War II and would affect our fighting forces for years to come. The McCarthy Hearings on Communism were being televised across the nation and would abruptly end when Senator McCarthy was called out during a now infamous hearing with the quote “Have you no decency, sir?” and his reputation ruined following numerous reports by now legendary journalist Edward R. Murrow. For further context on the McCarthy Hearings, we definitely recommend the film Good Night and Good Luck. In addition to these historical events, Hollywood was ruled by what has become to be known as the Hays Code, a set of self-governing rules film studios went by in order to make their films as non-offensive as possible. For a complete breakdown of the rules outlined in the Hays Code, check out this link here or make sure to listen to our podcast episode. Basically, every film produced in Hollywood from the 1930's to the late 1960's followed this code and was eventually replaced by the rating system we know today. Interesting side note though, the first film to receive a PG-13 rating was the 1987 Cold War film, Red Dawn following the suggestion of Steven Spielberg. In hindsight, the Hays Code can be seen as censorship, but films did not receive the same type of releases we see now. Many films were boycotted regionally and the Code was a way of assuring that films could enjoy nationwide releases.

You will never hear a more pure reaction than the moment when Gary Roby is told about the nicknames in this movie. Poor Gary was not expecting football, but luckily his grandpa was a Panthers fan AND a veteran of the Korean Conflict. Between bouts of nostalgia, we admire the cool camerawork as the football game starts getting out of control, discuss genre fiction (Y not try some YA today?), and learn the origin of the phrase “How do you like them apples”. Surprise: apples are not involved at all. Apparently. Maybe. How do you like them apples?

This minute is a doozy: it introduces a new important MASH character. But instead of using his given name, for some inexplicable reason, he is “nicknamed” a racist insult. This in the same 60 seconds where Hammond dismisses Houlihan’s charges with “Screw her”. So you can understand why Megan, Tierney, and Jennifer Levasseur needed to take a detour and talk about college football. But things get really interesting when discussion turns to the historical accuracy of this movie, the tv show, what the feelings of people in that time would be towards the Korean Conflict, how history is studied… it’s very deep and thoughtful but still with plenty of jokes about Indiana Jones.

Pilot and world champion runner Orville Rogers trained bomber pilots in World War II, flew the B-36 on secret missions during the Korean Conflict, ferried airplanes to remote Baptist missions all over the world, and managed to squeeze in a thirty-one-year career as a pilot with Braniff Airways. After retirement, he and Esther Beth, his wife of sixty-four–plus years, served thirteen months with the Baptist Mission in Tanzania. With her help on the ground, he flew goods and passengers to outposts largely inaccessible by land. Orville took up running at age fifty-one and ran his first marathon six years later. At age ninety, just two weeks after Beth’s passing, he attended his first national meet, where he broke two world records. He holds fifteen world records to date and continues to compete annually. Invariably, he wins. He has two sons, Bill and Rick, and a daughter, Susan, as well as, nine grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren. He lives in Dallas, Texas.

My guest on this episode was Victor Archibong, Ph.D. Professor and Chair of the Political Science Department at Greensboro College. Our topic was the present U.S./World conflict with North Korea. We discussed the history of the North Korean conflict (both prior to and after the Korean War), and the present conflict escalations. Dr. Archibong presented past political advances & positive steps made with North Korea, and I highlighted how these small inroads of positive interaction could be built on. Dr. Archibong presented his hopeful view that one positive outcome in the future could be a reunification of the Korean country into one. We both agreed that regardless of what happens at present, long term work to build lasting positive diplomacy with North Korea must begin and solidify now (regardless of whether it has "worked" in the past). Points we discussed included: alternatives to military intervention, and an analysis of motivators for the Korean leadership. We presented a different set of considerations for diplomacy and motivations for peace.

The Korean Conflict began in June of 1950, when North Korea invaded South Korea. Aubrey Freshour of Noxubee County joined the Army in October of 1951, as the war was heating up. In this episode, he shares his memories of that time like how his basic training got off to a rough start, the long journey from San Francisco to the front lines, and the importance of wearing dry socks during the harsh Korean winters. During his sixteen-month deployment, Freshour often experienced times of loneliness and uncertainty. He credits his creator and letters from home with giving him the strength to make it though and shares with us the full experience from beginning to end.   PHOTO: Boston.com

Veterans Day Appreciation Show, Music, Marines & Air Force What does Veterans Day mean to me, a son and an uncle of 2 family members in the military? Veterans Day - a time to pay tribute and honor those who serve, and those who've served, and are still with us. Remember, Veterans Day, and Memorial Day are different.  Memorial Day is to reflect and remember those who lost lives in service to their country.  Confusing the two or combining the two diminishes the importance of both.  As we express our appreciation on Veterans Day, many will find ways to celebrate and remember the sacrifices made by those in uniform in a manner that's personal. A Friend, Relative, or Neighbor who served comes to mind as we take a moment to reflect on what that person did to serve our Nation. There's actually a long line of those who served within my family tree and maybe yours too! Veterans Day means that we pause to remember those who came before us as well as those currently in uniform. Our rich history preserved by the stories they tell, which can be passed on from generation to generation. Many this week commented to me directly, or via social media their almost “shocked” reaction to our US presidential election.  This veterans day, I want to thank all those who've served, and say, as many others have, how grateful I am for our hard fought freedoms, that include the democracy we cherish, and to have a chance to vote, good bad or indifferent.  Today, I honor my father, Roger Vogelzang, who was an United State Air Force Captain, and a USAF physician, during the Korean Conflict, some would call war, but which ended in a cease fire. My nephew, Wyatt Vogelzang is currently serving in the US Marine Corp.  To all Veterans – past, present, and future – I salute you, and thank you for your service.

After the attack on the Naval Base at Pearl Harbor in 1941, America declared war on Japan. In this episode, Laurel native, Doris Barwick recalls how their community responded. Young men, some not even out of high school, volunteered for service by the thousands and soon found themselves on the front lines in Europe and the Pacific. As a result of intense fighting during WWII and later the Korean Conflict, many of these soldiers suffered from battle fatigue, known today as PTSD, for years afterwards. To treat the lingering effects of PTSD, they often turned to alcohol. Doris Barwick remembers her husband’s frequent nightmares and describes how he overcame his addiction. After getting sober himself, Jim Barwick became a drug and alcohol counselor and spent his remaining seventeen years helping others.   Image: 2,000 Yard Stare by Thomas Lea, c 1944 Life Magazine

This week we encounter two episodes that are, perhaps, the two best episodes of the season: Ses 4 ep 23 Deluge and Ses 4 Ep 24 The Interview. Both Chris and Gloria higly encourage you to watch these two episodes in order. And, in terms of an entry point to M*A*S*H, these two episodes are a great place to start. In Deluge we watch as the 4077th is inundated by wounded as a timeline reset puts them back in 1950 (and the front of a Chinese advance). Also, in The Interview we see the actors respond in character to questions as an interviewer might pose during the first years of the Korean Conflict.
