The Texas State Capitol Apr 18, 2009







Texas-Capitol Dome

The Texas State Capitol in Austin stands 14 feet higher than the US Capitol in Washington DC.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarowen/757986510/in/set-72157603832855832/

"The Texas flag is the only state flag that can legally fly at the same height as the United States flag. That said, I find it odd that it flies below the U.S. flag at the Capitol Building. I think that the fact that it is flow below the U.S. flag at the Capitol Building may be symbolic, but I'm not certain."

flag protocol Apr 18, 2009

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Texas



Urban legend

It is a common urban legend that the Texas flag is the only state flag that is allowed to fly at the same height as the U.S. flag. Allegedly, Texas has this right inherently (as a former independent nation) or because it negotiated special provisions when it joined the Union (this version has been stated as fact on a PBS website[8]). However, the legend is false. Neither the Joint Resolution for Annexing Texas to the United States nor the Ordinance of Annexation[9] contain any provisions regarding flags. According to the United States Flag Code, any state flag can be flown at the same height as the U.S. flag; the U.S. flag should be on its right (the viewer's left), however. Consistent with the U.S. Flag Code, the Texas Flag Code specifies that the state flag should either be flown below the U.S. flag if on the same pole or at the same height as the U.S. flag if on separate poles.

The Doolittle Raid May 10, 2009

A moving documentary film: The Search for Major McMurrey

看看这部记录片就可知道,普通中国人如何看待美国人,普通美国人又如何看待中国人;还可知道中美关系本来应该远比现在好得多。

One of my favorite TV programs is War Stories with Oliver North: http://www.foxnews.com/warstories/

I watched the documentary The Doolittle Raid a few days ago: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,50550,00.html

It reminded me of a Chinese movie “一个飞行员的故事" I saw many years ago, which was also about an American pilot whose plane was down in Zhejiang area during the war against the Japanese invasion. The American pilot was rescued and escorted to safety by Chinese civilians and soldiers. Many Chinese civilians and soldiers sacrificed their own lives during the rescue mission. I didn’t realize that the Chinese movie was actually based on a true story until I watched The Doolittle Raid. I was shocked to learn that the Japanese army killed an estimated 250,000 Chinese civilians and soldiers in revenge for their help to Doolittle's men.

Fate of the missing crewmen

Following the Doolittle Raid, most of the B-25 crews that came down in China eventually made it to safety with the help of Chinese civilians and soldiers. The Chinese people who helped them, however, paid dearly for sheltering the Americans. The Japanese military began the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign to intimidate the Chinese from helping downed American airmen. The Japanese killed an estimated 250,000 civilians while searching for Doolittle's men.

杜立德轰炸东京后日军对中国军民的疯狂报复和血腥屠杀:
http://www.flyingtiger-cacw.com/new_page_479.htm

日本人很快的就對杜立德轟炸行動進行了報復,日軍發動了「浙贛會戰」派遣十萬大軍,又以大量空軍為輔,去搜奪他們以為曾給杜立德使用過的機場。

在三個月的戰役中,日軍浴血深入華東腹地兩百哩,蹂躪兩萬哩的地域,破壞降落用的機場,並消滅每一個稍稍涉及協助杜立德空襲機的嫌疑的人們。舉凡杜立德空襲機曾經過的鄉村,民居都給燒掉,人民慘遭屠殺,連小孩也無一倖存。有一個相當大的城市,也只因居民曾踴躍填平附近機場中炸彈所陷的窟窿,而被夷為平地。在衢縣、三山和惠水的機揚,受到徹底的破壞,要修理倒不如重建新的來得容易。在日軍前進之先,日機空襲逾六百次。中國士兵和平民死亡達二十五萬眾。

The War in China; Stilwell Road May 13, 2009

'The United States supplied the Guomintang with vital military and financial assistance to keep the war effort in China alive.’ (Google)

Yueyin

About the War, I once met a taxi-driver in Wellington who, when I said I had lived in China, told me immediately 'the Chinese saved my life - they carried me for miles on a stretcher in the war'.

About Stilwell, perhaps you have heard, the Stilwell Road from China to Burma may be re-opened.
