WESOŁYCH ŚWIĄT!

(Merry Christmas!)

I wish you happiness, a lot of love and most importantly, good food. I wish you all to have a normal and peaceful Christmas Eve this year! ❤️

I have a present for you, please take it:

It’s supposed to be polish lancers making a snowman with little Walewski. Napoleon is not pleased with being a snowman. 😔

I have to tell you that I got part 1 and part 2 of Riyoko Ikeda’s manga about Pepi. I’m actually surprised how did my parents got it for me. They are rare and expensive. Damn i’m really happy.

But remember, presents are not the most important thing during Christmas, it’s being with people that are important to you and spend time with them!

Funerary Stela from Burgos, Spain dated between 1st Century BCE-1st Century CE on display at the National Archaeological Museum in Madrid, Spain

This stela with a discoid head, typical of northern Iberia, features a bas-relief of a rider with a round shield (Caetra) and a spear from whcih other shields are hanging. More shields appear before and around the horse, symbols of the enemies defeated by the portrayed warrior, identified with the dead man. This is an example of the symbiosis of Celtiberian and Roman customs.

Description: **The riveting memoir of a Vietnam War helicopter pilot. “When you step into a Huey with Tom Johnson, you’re in for the real thing. No one has previously captured the Vietnam helicopter experience with such gripping authority.”—Robert F. Dorr, author of Chopper   **   From June 1967 to June 1968, Tom Johnson accumulated an astonishing 1,600 flying hours piloting the UH-1 “Iroquois”—better known as the “Huey”—as part of the famous First Air Cavalry Division. His battalion was one of the most decorated units of the Vietnam War, and helped redefine modern warfare. Johnson’s riveting memoir takes us into key battles and rescue missions, including those for Hue and Khe Sanh. In harrowing detail, he tells of being shot down in the battle of A Shau Valley, of surviving enemy attacks during the Tet Offensive, and of a death-defying nighttime river rescue, in which only the bare feet of soldiers hanging off the Huey’s skids kept the helicopter from plunging under water. From dangerous missions to narrow escapes, Johnson’s memoir vividly captures the adrenaline rush and the horror of war, and takes you on a ride you’ll never forget.
