A special way to say thanks to soldiers

Scott Truitt, founder of The Gratitude Campaign, thought it would be nice if civilians had a gesture or sign they could use to say "thank you" to soldiers quickly and easily in airports and other public places without having to approach them and invade their privacy. He did some research and found the sign that is now being used nationwide. Is this limited to the military? Not at all. Scott says if you look around you you'll find lots of people who are serving their communities, from local to global. If you appreciate their service, give them a sign. Say "thank you from the bottom of my heart." Click the logo at left to view a video about this great new campaign.

Remember The Big Red Dress Carrie Underwood Wore at ACM Awards?: Well ... she'll be honored for it, in a way. The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville will open an exhibit, Carrie Underwood: All-American Girl, on June 11. The centerpiece of the exhibit is the merlot silk taffeta dress Underwood wore during the 2009 Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas. Created by Miami-based designer Rafael Cennamo, the dress includes 120 yards of fabric and an eight-foot-long train. Underwood wore the dress during her April 5 performance of "I Told You So" at the ACM Awards. She was named entertainer of the year and top female vocalist at the awards show. You have to see it to believe it.

Soldier Makes News
In His Pink Boxers

A soldier from North Texas is making national headlines and proving that real men do wear pink undies.

An Associated Press photographer captured 19-year-old Army specialist Zachary Boyd fighting off a Taliban ambush in Afghanistan -- in his underwear. The photo of Boyd, clad in the pink "I *heart* NY" printed boxers ended up on Tuesday's front page of the New York Times.

The Boyds say their son wanted to join the Army after watching reports of the Sept. 11 attacks as a little boy. He got the pink undies when he was stranded in New York without luggage.

What's a moby
and how is it used
in Houston, TX?

Bill Davis of the Houston, TX, Police Department recently emailed Moby and reminded us of a nugget of Moby History. He wrote, "I am with HPD and I've e-mailed you before about 'the Moby.' It is an official noun and verb used to describe the breaching tool and the actual breaching process. Before search warrants we always ask, 'where's the moby and who is going to moby (the door)?' All HPD narcotics reports refer to it as 'the Moby.' The DA's office calls it 'the Moby.' We have to explain it to juries but everybody else in Houston/Harris County law enforcement officially calls it 'the Moby.' "I didn't know where the term came from until an old-head told me. Of course I'm old enough to remember Moby on 97 Rock. Most of the new guys have no idea but we will teach them the history. (The breaching tool is called 'the moby') because somebody put a 'Moby' sticker on the battering ram years ago."
