\"Stan<\/a>THE LOBO TANK BUSTERS<\/strong><\/p>\n

By: Stan Jordan<\/b><\/p>\n

On today\u2019s mission, we went north up to southern Belgium. This is fall now and most of the leaves are gone from the trees and the Germans are fighting hard against Patton\u2019s troops as they are nearing some German soil.<\/p>\n

The German border in this area is close to Belgium. The first German city is named Aachen. Hitler has told his troops to hold this town till the death, don\u2019t let the allies get a foothold on German soil.<\/p>\n

The fighting for this town has been going on for many weeks: the buildings are down to just rubble and there is a Kraut behind every pile of rubble.<\/p>\n

The fighting is room to room and both sides have lost a lot of boys. The Germans are sworn to keep the village and the allies are determined to take it. We have been told to destroy everything we see that the Germans can use.<\/p>\n

The railroad yards in town have already been blown to bits, so we followed the rails here to the German home land and up to the Rhine River.<\/p>\n

We caught a freight train going east with a lot of flat cars loaded with all sorts of vehicles. The first thing we got was the engine, and the train stopped and became like a sitting duck. The rail cars were loaded with old tanks and some big guns and trucks.<\/p>\n

We used our machine guns on the trucks and smaller stuff. The tracer started most of them to burning. We had dropped our extra fuel tanks when we got here and were running low on ammo and fuel and we met up around 500 feet and started back to our Anthony air base.\u00a0 We got home without any trouble and the crew here loaded up our P51\u2019s for our morning patrol.<\/p>\n

Down at the mess hall, they had army stew. That is one of my favorites and I had my share. We didn\u2019t play cards tonight, we talked about today\u2019s mission and tomorrow\u2019s mission will just be another seek and destroy.<\/p>\n

SOME MORE ON MARIJUANA FOR MEDICAL USE<\/strong><\/p>\n

By: Stan Jordan<\/b><\/p>\n

A few weeks ago I took a negative stand on the legalization of marijuana in the State of Ohio. I have never been told of anyone who had been helped by using marijuana for medicine.<\/p>\n

My co-worker Sarah Klingler brought me a few pages of a story off the CNN News by Sandra Young about\u00a0 a baby girl being helped by a type of marijuana for her severe seizures. This was dated August 7, 2013.<\/p>\n

The little girl was three weeks old and started to have an unknown type of seizure affliction. They would not stop and no one knew what her trouble was.\u00a0 She made many trips to the hospital and was near death a number of times.<\/p>\n

Her name is Charlotte and they call her Charlie.\u00a0 Her parents have left no stone unturned to find some relief for her and them. She is a twin and her twin is fine with no problems.<\/p>\n

After five years of terrible seizures without any help, they figured she has a rare form of seizure called Dravet Syndrome. She had been in and out of hospitals for two and a half years. She had been close to death a number of times and she was slipping away again.<\/p>\n

When she was 2 \u00bd years old her parents took her to a children\u2019s hospital in Colorado. They told her she didn\u2019t have a SCNI gene mutation that is common in Dravet Syndrome cases. Then they took her to Chicago to see a Dravet specialist. He put her on a special diet and this helped her a little bit but the side effects were very bad.<\/p>\n

In November of 2000, the State of Colorado voted in an amendment to which required the state to set up a medical marijuana program.\u00a0 There are eight medical conditions that allow doctors to use cannabis strain of marijuana but the average of these users are 42 years old.<\/p>\n

Her father heard of a boy who had been taking cannabis that was low on THC, a compound in marijuana that is psycho active.<\/p>\n

She had lost the ability to walk, talk and eat. Her parents were about at the end of their string again.<\/p>\n

They had heard of a place in Colorado where some people with seizures have been helped, but none of her doctors would sign off and let Charlie be treated with marijuana because no one knew what the side effects would be.<\/p>\n

They met with a Dr.\u00a0 Margaret Good and she said Charolette had been so close to death so many times, she has much brain damage by other medicine that it was easy to recommend the use of cannabis. The mother, Paige, soon heard of the Stanley brothers, one of the states largest growers and distributors of marijuana. They breed all types of and know and understand its use better than anybody else.<\/p>\n

To make a long story short,\u00a0 they are very pleased to help the girl if they can.<\/p>\n

There will be more on this next week.<\/p>\n
