My father was a corpsman during Vietnam, earned two Purple Hearts; what was the most impressive act of field medicine that you can recall?

Happened to a friend of the family, cost him time, friends, and a lot of money. Newspapers are quick to report an arrest, very slow in reporting the clearing of an innocent.

This last weekend I found a Blond-crested woodpecker gorging himself on my bananas, I decided not to harvest because he really seems to be enjoying them. Brazil is just amazing, my front yard is my own little jungle from geckos to opossums to monkeys to a large variety of birds.

Mr. Bales do you know a way for individuals to get involved without dipping into their wallets? I spent five years in the Navy, from personal experience I know I ran into slaves while abroad. Unfortunately, friends and myself might have participated in exploitation of some enslaved women. This was the early 90s and my early 20s, we knew nothing about human trafficking and as I become more educated the more terrible I feel. Thank you for ant advice.

I spent five weeks studying puppet making in Bali and Kalimantan in 2001, one of the best times of my life. One of the things I did was learn to perform the Kecak and performed it for locals, it was humbling.
