Our Daughters the Soldiers at Toms River library branch
30 May 2012
TOMS RIVER- We all know of many contributions of the greatest generation during World War II, whether it is "Private Ryan" or even "Rosie the Riveter". But few know the important roles women played and how it continues to the present day.
The Ocean County Library Toms River branch (101 Washington St) will host "Our Daughters the Soldiers" on Monday May 21 at 7pm. This program will highlight many of the contributions women have made to the war effort from WWII to today.
Dr. Helen G. Brudner, Associate Director of the School of Political and International Studies at Fairleigh Dickenson University will discuss their experiences, how they were viewed by others and compare how women soldiers are treated now.
This program is funded by the Horizons Speakers Bureau of the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, a state partner of the National Endowment for Humanity, and by the Ocean County Library.
This program is free and open to the public. Please register online at www.theoceancountylibrary.org or call (732)349-6200 or (609)971-0514

Hajj Pilgrimage
I went on a Hajj pilgrimage in the early 1340s (1960s). At that time, few people from the army, gendarmerie and police went on a pilgrimage to the holy Mashhad and holy shrines in Iraq. It happened very rarely. After all, there were faithful people in the Iranian army who were committed to obeying the Islamic halal and haram rules in any situation, and they used to pray.A section of the memories of a freed Iranian prisoner; Mohsen Bakhshi
Programs of New Year HolidaysWithout blooming, without flowers, without greenery and without a table for Haft-sin , another spring has been arrived. Spring came to the camp without bringing freshness and the first days of New Year began in this camp. We were unaware of the plans that old friends had in this camp when Eid (New Year) came.
Attack on Halabcheh narrated
With wet saliva, we are having the lunch which that loving Isfahani man gave us from the back of his van when he said goodbye in the city entrance. Adaspolo [lentils with rice] with yoghurt! We were just started having it when the plane dives, we go down and shelter behind the runnel, and a few moments later, when the plane raises up, we also raise our heads, and while eating, we see the high sides ...The Arab People Committee
Another event that happened in Khuzestan Province and I followed up was the Arab People Committee. One day, we were informed that the Arabs had set up a committee special for themselves. At that time, I had less information about the Arab People , but knew well that dividing the people into Arab and non-Arab was a harmful measure.
