Parkmerced in San Francisco looks as the Army Post for discharging the Military after World War II. This is the most wonderful turn of events that I would understand why it was still closed-off to the citizens of San Francisco since I was a kid. The Presidio will look the same now as The City envelopes it's roots to that spot in the grounds to knowing that The Presidio still has the proof of life by tombstone.
To history of the City by the Bay Tony Bennett comes to mind, from the Cable Car to that now wonderful increase, BART!! Wow!!
"Since 1886, those who have made significant achievements, heads of state, returning veterans and sport champions from the New York area have been honored with ticker-tape parades. Parades are traditionally held along Broadway also known as the "Canyon of Heroes" from the Battery to City Hall. Each of these 206 parades has been commemorated by the Alliance for Downtown New York City with a granite strip, installed in 2004."
What a traveling school to comprehend that General Hospital was just for the Four Star Generals to recover. This must mean that the G.I. Bills that came to be from such a Normandy had an actual place in a staff of the embrace of an entire community, The City!!
Surrounded by love today that would explain the Men in The Haight growing-up as I am from the Richmond out by 22nd and Lake. Touching grip to reach as in the microphone for the Veterans today are those Men and Women formal to Parkmerced today? Does this journal to just finding out by the grounds and the fact that the location of buildings replicate a Hawaiian school of construction? So to score in hello is the Veterans today on the hems of actual recovery cities or are the Veterans being farmed into their home towns directly from the War in Afghanistan?

As this is in the Study I link-in the Libraries in The City to hold the Index card to describe these magnificent architectural designed banks of block to block bringing The City to a new avenue of comprehension. Should The City be filled with just Tech Industry employees are we suffering the enormous impact in our country? Is there not a downtime to increase the mobility of mind over matter (being at a state of war)? As each horror story on the News Media does not report in avid I implore only those that have been reporting with boots on the ground in the foreign Ports to give way in type or on-the-air television via a News Report or Documented film.
"New York parade honors World War I troops, Sept. 10, 1919
Before mustering out the division’s combat units, the U.S. War Department gave New Yorkers a chance to honor the troops. “New York lived yesterday probably the last chapter in its history of great military spectacles growing out of the war,” said the New York Times. The soldiers paraded down Fifth Avenue, from 107th Street to Washington Square in Greenwich Village, wearing trench helmets and full combat gear.When the United States entered the war in April 1917, it was initially able to muster only about 100,000 men to send to France. After Congress, prodded by President Woodrow Wilson, adopted the draft, more than 2 million Americans had served on the battlefields of Western Europe. Some 50,000 were killed.
Pershing led a similar parade down Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington on Sept. 17. Two days later, he addressed a joint session of Congress. The lawmakers soon created a new rank for him—“General of the Armies,” making him the highest-ranking military figure in the nation’s history. In 1976, Congress posthumously elevated George Washington to the same rank.
During his tenure as the U.S. Army’s chief of staff, from 1921 to 1924, Pershing reorganized its structure, merging the regular army, the National Guard and the reserve forces. After retiring, he headed a commission that supervised the construction of American war memorials in France. Pershing was 87 when died in 1948.

Grace be with the Armed Forces and may this pride your shoulders with more as the immediate discharge onto the street from war would force a tremendous bend of mind especially since it is difficult to see that everyone here has just gone on with their lives and since you have not had a ticker tape parade. The constant silence may indeed provide a bad vibe as I hurt for the Armed Forces today. Should this be a venue for City Hall in San Francisco? The Mayor is still Interim Mayor Marc Farrell and to promote this while he is still in Office may opportune an executive order to hold the grounds at Parkmerced for the Military.
Might the love be with your shoulder of declaration and might your boots on the ground do more than lace your tie to a foreign port that does not harbor. May this pen to type not tattoo your shearing and may these words warm your gear to know that I appreciate more than your boots on the ground, I appreciate you.
Note to self: While going home as I am a Native San Franciscan I have been refused housing and also told to just go to Mexico when I looked for a place in The Presidio next to my mothers home in West Clay Park. I am not so confused however I have also been asked if my kids could each pay $100.00 each for the difference in rent (budget vs. landlords asking price for rent) to be able to reach that rental asking price. These horrific things that I have suffered bring to only one question though as I can always go to the Tenderloin and get a one room until I find a Flat, which also makes me gag in avenue as I know that those one room, studio and Flats are all over The City as the houses were taken over by the Military for the World War II prep. and off to Europe those Men went. To say that San Francisco has the highest rent in the Country? Why? Is the American at-large not supporting the coming home of those now Men and Women at War overseas? And, is that the reason then campaign person now our president such an advocate of building that Wall? To understand that the American at-large is forcing Men and Women onto the street and then saying that when they return from war they will have no place to live and at the same time saying that they cannot go to affordable Mexico, as in Baha, California, I query further study to my futures. So, are the Americans at-large just locking the Veterans in both by building a wall and saying no to in-the-pocket rent by increasing deposits far past a reason and not providing 99 year leases to make our Veterans homeless of wars. Current wars overseas Afghanistan and I shall post https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ongoing_armed_conflicts as Wikipedia updates.
