My Grandfather was awarded a Croix De Guerre in WWI. I have been able to find out how he won other medals but nothing about this one. I know it is a French decoration and I have heard that they were 'passed down with the rations'. He was a Hussar. Does anyone know where I could look for information? Thank you.

There are no "rules of war." No safe houses in war zones. Could there be an underlying spheres vengeance that causes the randomness of destruction and statistically high "friendly fire" fatalities, as well as the scathing lack of military strategy? Is this today's phase of Israeli/Muslim warfare out of the hands of trained military? Please serious answers would be appreciated.

this country was founded on immigrants, also this country isnt even reall ours, it belongs to the native americans, maybe WE should go back to Europe and quit telling spanish people to get out of texas and cali(which was actually theres first) and stop telling black people to go to africa when WE'RE the ones who brought them here. I think white people and muslems are the sourse of EVERY SINGLE problem in the world. Dou you agree?

I'll be getting to use a laptop for some assignments I have, and it comes with some expensive software. My friend wants to download some of the software onto his computer from the one I'll be using. Is it ok, or legal, for me to let him do that?

I see and hear this going on all the time, both on Yahoo Answers and in real life. Ted Kennedy, Rush Limbaugh, and Rosie O'Donnel are made fun of for being overweight. Bush is compared to a monkey, and Kerry is referred to as Lurch from the Addams Family.

Shouldn't a mature critic stick to policy or ideological differences with a political figure, and stay away from criticizing their appearance? A person can not always help the way they look, and their appearance really has very little to do with the kind of person they are.

So doesn't it make more sense to say that someone is ignorant, cruel, naive, or short-sighted, rather than saying they look like an animal or need to eat a sandwich? Doesn't it reflect immaturity when someone focuses on the physical?

Or, am I wrong? Is appearance a legitimate area of criticism?

Agree or disagree.

It's obvious that he is exploiting 9.11 (he mentions it every damn time his mouth opens), but is he doing it out of selfishness, or because he thinks Americans don't understand the real threat?

I guess the heart of the question is, is he a cynical, heartless bastard, or is he just Chicken Little, really believing that the sky is falling?

OK, his earpiece (receiver) was malfunctioning and whomever was actually running the show and telling the ventriliquist's dummy what to say couldn't get through to him. So, he had to freewheel.

But why is this man still President of the United States? Where are the wise leaders?

Of all the people who have a bad view of the police, is this because of your own experiences, third hand information from friends or just ignorance?

""We will continue to express ourselves with more marches, with voter registration drives, with action until we get favorable reform."

Lopez's group is joining a national campaign to survey the opinions of 1 million immigrants, seeking to get their input into Congress' immigration reform debate.

The 18-question Spanish-language survey asks about how people should be able to obtain legal status, guest worker programs and criminal penalties for employers of illegal immigrants.

Lopez said immigrants plan a series of demonstrations, starting on Labor Day, which they hope can match the turnout of rallies that drew hundreds of thousands in Los Angeles and other cities this spring.

Delegates discussed other issues of concern to immigrants: illnesses caused by pollution in the San Joaquin Valley, protecting day labor centers and reviving driver's licenses for illegal immigrants.

then why oppose bush on wiring up america with a cia/federal marshall on every street corner tapping phones. faxs, internet, voice, photographing every room of you house including your bathrooms, showers, and bedrooms, and video capture every inch of your city, and why not your job, any public event you attend, why not your schools for your children, why not have federal officers patroling schools with high tech watching....I mean we are beggin bush to do it, he said so

if you have nothing to hide why ***** about a real-id card that constantly phones home where you are and has all knowm information about you on one card? Who needs it more, your or the illegals?

Are we hippocrites? Why can't we give up any and all rights to Bush so he can be the one responsible to protect us? Has he ever ignored anyone, say, on the Mexican border to either back up law enforcement or turned his head as Americans get killed? Don't you trust your government to save you?

Hi! This is in regards to my previous question about indictment. Basically my boyfriend got arrested and charged with AGGRIVATED ROBBERY. The reason was he went to a store in the mall and put a bottle of cologne in his pocket to steal (yes very stupid), he winded up chunking the bottle before leaving the store and he left and got in his car and was backing up when the store manager, who had been following him, ran up to the car and grabbed his shirt collar and steering wheel causing the car tires to turn. The car was already in reverse and the car kept moving. My boyfriend continued to back up and drove away because he was scared. COme to find out, when he backed up, he ran over the man's foot. They arressted him the next day for aggrivated robbery. The store manager has admitted in a written statement that he did indeed grab his collar and steering wheel. THe police searched our house looking for the cologne and of course didnt find it. Will this charge stick? Dallas, Texas

You just end up with a bunch of ignorant unhealthy illegal immigrants. If the feds can't keep them out, let's at least keep them healthy and out of trouble, and let justice figure out how to use our tax dollars for nation protecting at home, instead of nation building overseas. As it stands, we're out making more enemies, and we still aren't guarding the back door. Dum dum dum.
