Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow; I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on the ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
 United States Marines
Leatherneck: The nickname Leatherneck has become a
universal moniker for a U.S. Marine. The term originated
from the wide and stiff leather neck-piece that was part of
the Marine Corps uniform from 1798 until 1872. This
leather collar, called The Stock, was roughly four inches
high and had two purposes. In combat, it protected the
neck and jugular vein from cutlasses slashes. On parade, it
kept a Marine's head erect. The term is so widespread that
it has become the name of the Marine Corps Association
monthly magazine, LEATHERNECK.
Gyrene: Around 1900, members of the U.S. Navy began
using Gyrene as a jocular derogatory reference to U.S.
Marines. Instead of being insulted, the Marines loved it.
The term became common by World War I and has been
extensively used since that time.
Jarhead: For roughly 50 years, sailors had little luck in
their effort to insult Marines by calling them Gyrenes. So,
during World War II sailors began referring to Marines as
Jarheads. Presumably the high collar on the Marine Dress
Blues uniform made a Marine's head look like it was
sticking out of the top of a Mason jar. Marines were not
insulted. Instead, they embraced the new moniker as a
term of utmost respect.
Devil Dogs: The German Army coined this term of respect
for U.S. Marines during World War I. In the summer of
1918 the German Army was driving toward Paris. The
French Army was in full retreat. In a desperate effort to
save Paris, the newly arrived U.S. Marines were thrown
into the breach. In June 1918, in bitter fighting lasting for
weeks, Marines repeatedly repulsed the Germans in
Belleau Wood. The German drive toward Paris sputtered,
fizzled, and died. Then the Marines attacked and swept the
Germans back out of Belleau Wood. Paris had been saved.
The tide of war had turned. Five months later Germany
would be forced to accept an armistice. The battle tenacity
and fury of the U.S. Marines had stunned the Germans. In
their official reports they called the Marines "teufel
hunden," meaning Devil Dogs, the ferocious mountain
dogs of Bavarian folklore.

Procedures for U. S. Military Burials
A United States flag drapes the casket of deceased
veterans to honor the memory of their service to America.
The flag is placed so that the blue field with stars is at the
head and over the left shoulder of the deceased. After
Taps has been played, the flag is carefully folded into the
symbolic tri-cornered shape. A properly proportioned flag
will fold 13 times on the triangles, representing the 13
original colonies. The folded flag is emblematic of the tri-
cornered hat worn by the Patriots of the American
Revolution. When folded, no red or white stripe is to be
evident, leaving only the blue field with stars. The folded
flag is then presented as a keepsake to the next of kin or an
appropriate family member. Each branch of the Armed
Forces uses its own wording for the presentation.
U.S. Air Force: "On behalf of the President of the
United States, the Department of the Air Force, and a
grateful nation, we offer this flag for the faithful and
dedicated service of (Service Member's rank and name)."
U.S. Army: "This flag is presented on behalf of a
grateful nation and the United States Army as a token of
appreciation for your loved one's honorable and faithful
service."
U.S. Coast Guard: "On behalf of the President of
the United States, the Commandant of the Coast Guard,
and a grateful nation, please accept this flag as a symbol of
our appreciation for your loved one's service to Country
and the Coast Guard."
U.S. Marine Corps: "On behalf of the President of
the United States, the Commandant of the Marine Corps,
and a grateful nation, please accept this flag as a symbol of
our appreciation for your loved one's service to Country
and Corps."
U.S. Navy: "On behalf of the President of the
United States and the Chief of Naval Operations, please
accept this flag as a symbol of our appreciation for your
loved one's service to this Country and a grateful Navy."
If the next of kin has expressed a religious preference or
belief, add: "God bless you and this family, and God bless
the United States of America." After an American flag has
been used for a Military or Veterans funeral, it should
never be flown again or displayed in any other way than in
the tri-fold shape in which it was presented to the next of
kin. In other words, the folded flag should never be
"opened" again. There are many appropriate display cases
available for purchase to display the burial flag and to
protect it from wear and fading.

What is System Restore?
System Restore helps you restore your computer's system files to an earlier point in time. It's a way to
undo system changes to your computer without affecting your personal files, such as e-mail, documents,
or photos.

Sometimes, the installation of a program or a driver can cause an unexpected change to your computer or
cause Windows to behave unpredictably. Usually, uninstalling the program or driver corrects the problem.
If uninstalling doesn't fix the problem, you can try restoring your computer's system to an earlier date
when everything worked correctly.

System Restore uses a feature called system protection to regularly create and save restore points on your
computer. These restore points contain information about registry settings and other system information
that Windows uses. You can also create restore points manually. For information about creating restore
points, see Create a restore point.

System image backups stored on hard disks can also be used for System Restore, just like the restore
points created by system protection. Even though system image backups contain both your system files
and personal data, your data files will not be affected by System Restore. For more information about
system images, see What is a system image?

System Restore isn't intended for backing up personal files, so it cannot help you recover a personal file
that has been deleted or damaged. You should regularly back up your personal files and important data
using a backup program. For more information about backing up personal files, see Back up your files.
 Open System Restore by clicking the Start button . In the search box, type System Restore, and
then, in the list of results, click System Restore. If you're prompted for an administrator password
or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

TO CREATE A RESTORE POINT

1. Open System by clicking the Start button , right-clicking Computer, and then clicking Properties.

2. In the left pane, click System protection. If you're prompted for an administrator password or
confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

3. Click the System Protection tab, and then click Create.

4. In the System Protection dialog box, type a description, and then click Create.

BACK UP YOUR FILES

To help ensure that you don't lose your files, you should back them up regularly. You can set up automatic
backups or manually back up your files at any time.
