ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - American forces conducted a raid inside Pakistan on Sept. 3, a senior U.S. military official said, in the first known foreign ground assault against a suspected Taliban haven. Pakistan's government condemned the action, saying it killed at least 15 people.

The American official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of cross border operations, said the raid occurred about a mile inside Pakistan. The Washington-based official didn't provide details on casualties.

TRENTON, N.J. - Brian Coleman was never in the service and has no ties to the military. But when he began looking for a cause to support after his retirement, he decided helping wounded veterans was the way to go.

Now the 62-year-old spends anywhere from 35 to 70 hours a week running Golf Supports Our Troops, a nonprofit that raises money to donate golf equipment to military hospitals and rehabilitation facilities.

"My intent was not to teach these guys to be golf pros," Coleman said. "It was to have some fun, maybe get golf into their recovery, but it was the health benefits of the equipment that I thought would be interesting.

THE PROGRAM:
On Thursday, September 11th, 2008, an American flag should be displayed outside every home, apartment, office, and store in the United States. Every individual should make it their duty to display an American flag on this seventh anniversary of one our country's worst tragedies. We do this in honor of those who lost their lives on 9/11, their families, friends and loved ones who continue to endure the pain and those who today are fighting at home and abroad to preserve our cherished freedoms.

In the days, weeks and months following 9/11, our country was bathed in American flags as citizens mourned the incredible losses and stood shoulder-to-shoulder against terrorism. Sadly, those flags have all but disappeared. Our patriotism pulled us through some tough times and it shouldn't take another attack to galvanize us in solidarity. Our American flag is the fabric of our country and together we can prevail over terrorism of all kinds.

Visit AmericasHeroesAtWork.gov A unique program helps employers support returning service members who are coping with two increasingly common battlefield injuries-Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which are expected to affect hundreds of thousands of veterans as they return to civilian life. The program, called America's Heroes at Work (www.AmericasHeroesAtWork), equips employers and workforce development professionals with tools and best practices to help employees with TBI and/or PTSD succeed in the workplace.

Symptoms of TBI or PTSD range from headaches and vertigo to short-term memory deficits- however, most can be addressed through simple workplace supports. Dispelling the myths about TBI and PTSD, the program offers a variety of educational resources for employers including fact sheets, Web-based training tools, presentations and more. The initiative is managed by the Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy (www.dol.gov/odep) and Veterans' Employment and Training Service (www.dol.gov/vets).

THE ''BELL OF FREEDOM'' rests silently in majestic glory
For historians and poets to tell the world of its story
A symbol of American heroes who fought with courage, valor and dedication
For those brave soldiers who lost their lives in battles of war for our nation

The ''CITY OF BROTHERLY LOVE'' holding vigil for all the world to see;
What it means to have the right to pursue ...LIFE....HAPPINESS and ''Liberty''

August 29, 2008 - Australian Broadcasting Corporation

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has accused the United States of orchestrating the conflict in Georgia for domestic political purposes, prompting angry denials from the White House, as tensions between the former Cold War rivals escalate.

Putin used an interview with the American television network CNN to say that his defence officials had told him the war was triggered to benefit one of the U.S. presidential candidates.

The White House is now considering scrapping a key nuclear agreement with Russia in response to the recent events.

Putin accused the U.S. military of arming and training the Georgian army and said the U.S. then provoked Georgian soldiers to retake the separatist region of South Ossetia and kill Russians in the process.

Taking a page from innovative marketers such as Apple, the Army is opening its first "Army Experience Center" in Philadelphia to promote military service.

The 14,500-square-foot venue inside the Franklin Mills Mall is a combination video arcade, retail store and recruiting center designed to let civilians play soldier.

Visitors can jump in an Apache helicopter or an armored Humvee simulator for a ride. They can also shoot at screens or play "America's Army" on the Xbox 360.

In June, The Post reported exclusively that the Army was planning to open the first such high-tech center. With a military recruiting station in Times Square, New York was rumored to be a location.
