DETROIT, Nov. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --Freedom Center, the military lounge located at Gate A43 at Detroit Metropolitan Airport's McNamara Terminal, celebrated its first year of operations today with the unveiling of a commemorative banner to thank service men and women and veterans for their service to our country.

"During our first twelve months of operations, Freedom Center has hosted over 30,000 members of our military, their family members and our veterans during their travels through Detroit," said Senator Patrick Colbeck, (R-7th district) and board member of Michigan Armed Forces Hospitality Center, Inc., the non-profit corporation which operates Freedom Center. "I salute our volunteers and our generous sponsors who have played a tremendous role in making their long travels a bit easier, while thanking them for their service in keeping our country strong."

Freedom Center opened their doors on November 1, 2011 and was official dedicated on Veterans Day 2011 11/11/11 at 1100 hours. Operated by a dedicated group of volunteers, the lounge offers our traveling military, as well as all veterans, a quiet respite with comfortable couches, recliners, complimentary coffee, juice, soft drinks and bottled waters, snacks, free wi-fi and even a triple bunk bed to grab some shut-eye. Freedom Center operations are made possible by generous financial contributions of corporations and individuals, led by Meritor, Inc. and the Michigan Chapter of the National Defense Industrial Association. Other major corporate supporters include: Oshkosh Defense, Lapeer Industries, Pratt & Miller Engineering, Cadillac Castings, Merrill Technologies Group, Raymond James & Associates, Rent-A-Center, Delta Air Lines, Masco Foundation, Richard and Virginia Vallee, the Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters and Millwrights, Marketing Associates and GraphiColor Exhibits. Additional financial supporters include RAVE Computer and the Arsenal of Democracy Chapter, Association of the US Army.

"Meritor has a long history of supporting the armed services members and their families," said Tim Burns, vice president, Defense, Specialty, Industrial for Meritor. "We are honored to provide support to our nation's warfighters and their families as they travel through Detroit. The 'courageous stories' behind the lives of those the Freedom Center serves is both remarkable and unforgettable."

The commemorative banner unveiled today will stay in place until a week after this Veterans Day weekend to permit DTW travelers to express their thanks to our military visitors.

"I applaud Michigan Armed Forces Reception Center board members Senator Patrick Colbeck, Ken Pratt, John McCandless, Howard Rendell, Stephen Ihrig, Howard Rundell, Carol Ann Fausone, Donald Kotchman and all of those involved in establishing Freedom Center Military Lounge for our returning heroes and their families," said Major General Vadnais, Adjutant General and the Director of Military and Veteran Affairs for Michigan. "A big thanks as well to the Wayne County Airport Authority for providing space and to the sponsors who have given generously to support those who have given so much."

Freedom Center is staffed by volunteers seven days a week, 365 days a year. Operating hours are from 6:00 a.m. until 11:30 p.m. However, many nights Freedom Center has operated around the clock when travelling soldiers, sailors and Marines are stranded due to flight delays or weather issues.

Individuals wishing to make a donation to Freedom Center or become a volunteer can obtain additional information on the Freedom Centers website, MIFreedomCenter.org.

Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Info Palestinians face home demolitions leaving tens of thousands homeless. Checkpoints within the West Bank humiliate Palestinians who have to wait for hours. They are not for "security" and are placed between Palestinian cities. The apartheid wall is a giant concrete wall that dwarfs the Berlin Wall. The wal is not on the border, but 90% of it runs inside the West Bank, separating villages, and destroying homes and Palestinian farmland in the way of its construction 650000 illegal Israeli settlers live in illegal settlements(colonies) on Palestinian land, destroying Palestinian homes and leaving innocent families and children homeless. 4.7 million Palestinians are classified by the UN as refugees that were displaced from their homes by Israel. The Archbishop Tutu and Nelson Mandela as well as other South African leaders have reported that the Israeli apartheid is worse than in South Africa. "We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians" - Nelson Mandela Please spread the movement!!!!!!! It worked for South Africa, and it will work to free Palestine from Israeli apartheid. http://www.apartheidweek.org http://www.endtheoccupation.org http://www.mondoweiss.net http://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org http://www.itisapartheid.org http://www.bdsmovement.net http://www.palsolidarity.orgFrom:Ben SilversteinViews:3 1ratingsTime:06:36More inNonprofits Activism

Oil Company #39;s Drilling Rig in Resident #39;s Back Yard
The fascist oil companies are out of control. I refused repair the rig without permission from the land owner to be on their land, so I was turned away. I refuse to tresspass. I refuse to participate in such activity. These oil companies need to be held to account for what they are doing to land owners.

Paris Simo - Time [Harem Records - HR030] The fresh and upcoming duo from Montreal, Canada was formed in 2010 and has quickly earned support from the biggest DJs in the industry including Tiësto, Bob Sinclair, Hardwell, Max Vangeli, Sultan + Ned Shepard and many others. Their massive productions have earned them a reputation for excellence in the studio as they continue to release hit after hit.

They rounded out 2011 with "Aura", a collaboration with Mark Mendes that reached #13 on the Beatport progressive house charts via his label Starter Records and then came back for their second release with Starter in 2012 called "Aztec".

All these #39;troll #39; videos
This video is purposely stupid. :3 ALSO, THIS IS MY OPINION FEEL FREE TO CRITIC BECAUSE THAT IS YOUR RIGHT YOU HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEACH ^I #39;m sorry, apparently I have to acknowledge that or I may get in big ol #39; bad trouble. :3 I #39;m just tired of seeing all these other videos about trolling and bullying and how to counter trolls. As the video says, it #39;s uneeded, your fueling the people you don #39;t like. Half of the videos I #39;ve seen about this, are very incorrect. Theres a very fine line between #39;trolling #39; and #39;bullying #39;, you have to remember that. Trolling is getting someone to react, saying something that you KNOW will upset someone, even if you don #39;t mean to. You can type #39;Red Socks suck! #39; on a video and someone else may legitly get angered and upset at that. Does that make YOU a troll? Does you opinion make you a troll? Bullying is different, and people get these two mingled together ALL the time. An yea, I will in fact admit, I #39;m a troll. BUT that doesn #39;t make me a bully. Yes, I do play games like TF2 and say stuff like #39;oh you suck, you missed by a mile #39; and watch as the other person flips out in rage for some reason. It was just my opinion right? I wasn #39;t bullying that person. Was I? Where I come from, bullying is, walking down a school hall, and seeing the bigger kid knock your books out from you hands. So, bullying is now, upsetting someone? Just, wow. WOW I #39;m sorry, it #39;s just hallarious at how people still get upset on things like this. And even grown adults.
