and gave up on assimilation. They now realize that the terrorists that have run amok, killed and murdered French men women and children, were French born and raised and showed a higher price the nation has paid for abandoning assimilation.

The Laguna Beach police cars mean so much more than just police cars — they represent the love and allegiance people living in the greatest country in the world must have to protect our freedoms and way of life.

We must remember Donald Trump is more than just rough around the edges. He’s a street fighter, not a politician, and street fighters couldn’t care less about being smooth, dignified and politically correct.

He totally believes that a street fighter’s only objective is to win the fight and Donald Trump is hell-bent on doing that.

Part of his promise was to clean out the swamp, and it appears he’s taking no prisoners. He refuses to apologize for America’s greatness and realizes we must keep America great forever!

The Laguna Beach City Council voted this past week to keep the American flag design on city police cars. At least 200 people packed the council chambers where police officers guarded the doors. Many in attendance wore combinations of red, white and blue.

Some donned veterans or American Legion hats and a few more wore make America great again hats!

COURAGE COMPELS COMBAT MARINES TO SAVE LIVES MEMBERS OF 1ST CEB SAVE THREE LIVES

By Lance Cpl. Alexa Hernandez 1st Marine Division

C

AMP PENDLETON — Courage is the mental, physical and moral strength to persevere and withstand danger, fear or difficulty. It is the heart of the core values instilled in every United States Marine and is what defines their character and warrior spirit.

It is with this courage that Marines with 1st Combat Engineer Battalion, 1st Marine Division were able to do what is right and necessary when they were faced with critical challenges throughout this past year. In the last 12 months, nine Marines from 1st CEB saved the lives of three people in completely separate events in our community.

Capt. Andrew Cruz was celebrating his wedding night in Maryland on July 14, 2018. During the ceremony, he heard a car crash on the road outside.

Without hesitation, he ran toward the commotion where an SUV had flipped on its side, trapping the woman who was driving it.

Cruz climbed on top of the vehicle

and broke the window with his elbow to get to the driver and provide the necessary care until medical professionals arrived. His heroic instinct and Marine Corps training were crucial factors in the rescue, and ultimately, the survival of the woman involved in the crash.

Just four months after Capt. Cruz saved a woman on his wedding day, six Marines from 1st CEB rescued an injured motorcyclist when returning from a camping trip in Big Bear. During their drive through the rolling mountains of Southern California, Sgt. Devon Espinoza, Sgt. Kyle Henne, Cpl. Mark Dass, Cpl. Alex Koeneke, Cpl. Alec Leonard, and Cpl. Jay Wehrenberg came across the motorcyclist on the side of the road.

Other cars drove past the wounded man but the Marines knew they could help.

They immediately pulled over and began assessing the rider’s injuries, applying a tourniquet to his lacerated leg and calling first responders. Once the medical professionals arrived, the Marines stayed on the scene and helped direct traffic.

For his valiant efforts in directing the life-saving actions, Espinoza was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal. Additionally, Henne, Dass, Koeneke, Leonard and Wehrenberg all received the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal for their actions.

“I am honored that my actions helped someone as much they did. It was a humbling experience to be recognized by so many people, and it really puts into perspective how quickly a situation can change, and as a Marine, you have to be ready for it,” Koeneke said.

While these Marines created a reputation of protecting the innocent people in our community, other Marines from 1st CEB were on base ensuring the safety of their fellow Marines.

Cpl. Renzel Craft and Cpl. Everton Porto were attending Corporal’s Course on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton on April 4 when they joined their fellow Marines in the chow hall. Upon sitting down to eat, they realized a Marine across

from them had fallen to the ground face first and his body began to seize up. Immediately, Craft and Porto rushed to his side to assess the situation and stabilize his body to prevent further injury.

“We made sure he didn’t swallow his tongue, we rubbed his sternum to keep him awake, asked him relevant questions to check for concussions, and checked for bleeding around his head and mouth,” Porto said.

Corpsmen arrived on the scene, and provided aid to the Marine. Upon further examination, the corpsmen determined the Marine needed to be brought to a medical facility. Craft loaded him into his personal vehicle and drove him to the local Battalion Aid Station to receive additional treatment.

“I was able to help a Marine get the adequate care he needed by being proactive about the situation,” Craft said.

“To those Marines who witness an accident, I can’t stress enough the importance of keeping a clear mind, and always paying attention to the Marines to your left and right. That doesn’t mean just medically, but mentally, physically, financially, or in whatever case it may be, just take care of your Marines.”

The Marines who came to the rescue in each of these events are part of 1st Combat Engineer Battalion. Some might credit the Marines’ fearless nature to the demanding operational training the battalion performs throughout the year. While the intense training certainly enabled these Marines to perform the live-saving techniques they were taught, perhaps the credit can more rightly be attributed to the familial bond of the battalion that generates the mentality of always taking care of the person next to you no matter what. Without this mentality, the Marines’ may not have felt compelled to save the lives of complete strangers. www.militarypress.com • news@militarypress.com

“Thrones” is a huge and sprawling series known for its leisurely pace, but as it sprints toward the May 19 finale, the writers have let loose a host of contradictions. Anyone can die, but so close to the end, the writers don’t want to give up their best characters.

“Thrones” may be done killing its faves, but it might just kill its legacy in the process.

SWITZTERLAND: A TALE OF 3 CITIES

SWITZERLAND Part 3

L

By Howard Hian Military Press

ugano, Pontresina and Zurich are examples of Switzerland’s appeal — something for everyone. In Lugano, one gets the feeling of stumbling into Italy because of the language and food. In Pontresina, while hiking, you expect either Heidi or the Von Trapp family to pop up over the next hill. Zurich, the largest city in Switzerland (400,000-plus), is urban and urbane. It is the financial center and transportation hub of the country.

Where else can you find a hotel with a pawnshop in the lobby?

Here is my “to do” list for each locale.

Lugano

Ciani Park’s 15.5 acres borders Lake Lugano. First developed in 1845, today it is divided into two parts: one near its original villa and the other extending to the mouth of the Cassarate River. Walk the winding paths throughout this gem and enjoy the fountains, statues, flower gardens and native and imported trees.

Take a boat ride on picturesque Lake Lugano, also called Lake Ceresio. The coastline shares approximately 40 percent of its boundary with Italy.

Ride the cable car up Monte San Salvatore for panoramic views of the city and Lake Lugano, with the Alps as a backdrop.

Piazza della Riforma is the

hiking shoes for this charming mountain village. There are more than 100 trails, including 10 long-distance treks.

For an unusual activity, visit the largest herd of ibex in the Alps. Also referred to as wild mountain goats, they descend from higher altitudes to graze in the spring.

Pack your Zurich Purchase the Zurich Card for 24 or 72 hours time periods. It offers travel by train, tram, bus, boat and cable car throughout Zurich’s environs. You can visit 40 museums, either free or discounted.

Wander through Old Town.

Stop by the craft candy and ice cream shops and watch the chocolatiers at work.

Cruise Lake Zurich or take a Dream Boat outing that includes either brunch, fondue or dinner.

Visit the Zurich West District. It’s close to 25Hours Hotel and has reinvented itself from an industrial locale to a trendy, hip neighborhood with bars, cafes, restaurants and boutique shops.

I fell in love with the quirky, stylish 25Hours Hotel Langtrasse. The lobby is a cacophony of colors, mobiles and bric-a-brac.

That’s also where a pawnshop is located.

You can bring in a collectible and, if it’s accepted, the cash value is credited toward your room rate. The central station is a short walk away and the hotel overlooks the rail yard, giving a fascinating view of Switzerland’s busiest train center. The hotel is very customer focused — no standard checkout time and the Sunday brunch at NENI (in the hotel) is available until 4 p.m.

Travel tips

Slow down and enjoy your visit to Switzerland — be flexible. If your plan includes two days in a spot, most likely you will need a third.

Purchase the Swiss Travel Pass to get unlimited use of trains, buses and boats.

It also provides entrance to attractions and more than 500 museums. You can choose 3, 4, 8 or 15 day passes.

Download the Swiss Travel Guide App. There is a tourist bureau in almost every destination in Switzerland; just ask Google.

Hotel breakfasts are included throughout Switzerland. Gratuities at restaurants, cafes and bars are built into the price. For carryout, wine, beer, snacks, etc., look for a COOP or Migros store.

Transportation

Remember, it’s a small country. All of Switzerland is easily accessible. Public transportation is on time, clean, safe and affordable.

A tom cat and a tabby cat were courting on a back fence at night.

The tom leaned over with pent up passion and purred... “I’ll die for you” The tabby gazed at him from under lowered eye lids and asked, “How many times?”

A cop pulls over a carload of nuns....

Cop: “Sister, this is a 65 MPH highway — why are you going so slow?”

Sister: “Sir, I saw a lot of signs that said 22, not 65.”

Cop: “Oh sister, that’s not the speed limit, that’s the name of the highway you’re on!”

Sister: “Oh! Silly me! Thanks for letting me know. I’ll be more careful.”

At this point the cop looks in the backseat where the other nuns are shaking and trembling.

Cop: “Excuse me, Sister, what’s wrong with your friends back there? They’re shaking something terrible.”

Sister: “Oh, we just got off of highway 119.”

Two high school boys (one Spanish and one American) examined their grades.

American boy: “You got an F in Spanish! How could that happen? Spanish is what you speak at home and stuff.”

Spanish boy: “Probably the same way you got an F in English.”

A 3-year-old boy examined his testicles while taking a bath. “Mommy,” he asked.

After the ladies had left and the men got their clothes back on, the minister and the priest asked the rabbi why he covered his face rather than his privates.

The rabbi replied, “I don’t know about you, but in MY congregation, it’s my face they would recognize.”

ADVANCED HEARING AID TECHNOLOGY

BE DEBT FREE in 24–48 months!

“I was amazed!

Sounds I hadn’t heard in years came back to me!”

— Don W., Sherman, TX

Do you owe more than $10,000 in credit card bills or other debt? Let National Debt Relief resolve your debt for a fraction of what you owe.

For Less Than $200

How can a hearing aid that costs less than $200 be every bit as good as one that sells for $2,250 or more?

The answer: Although tremendous strides have been made in Advanced Hearing Aid Technology, those cost reductions have not been passed on to you. Until now...

MDHearingAid® uses the same kind of Advanced Hearing Aid Technology incorporated into hearing aids that cost thousands more at a small fraction of the price.

Over 300,000 satisfied MDHearingAid customers agree: High-quality, FDA-registered hearing aids don’t have to cost a fortune. The fact is, you don’t need to spend thousands for a hearing aid. MDHearingAid is a medical-grade hearing aid offering sophistication and high performance, and works right out of the box with no time-consuming “adjustment” appointments. You can contact a licensed hearing specialist conveniently online or by phone — even after your purchase at no cost. No other company provides such extensive support.

Now that you know...why pay more?

One Affordable Monthly Payment

We work with you to set up a single, affordable monthly payment.

No Upfront Fees

You won’t pay a penny until your debt is resolved.

Resolve Your Debt in 24–48 Months

We’ll resolve your debt as quickly as possible so you can finally start living the life you want.

Can a Hearing Aid Delay or Prevent Alzheimer’s and Dementia?

A study by the National Institute on Aging suggests older individuals with hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop Alzheimer’s and dementia over time than those who retain their hearing. They suggest that an intervention — such as a hearing aid — could delay or prevent this by improving hearing!

See how much you could save.
