CENTCOM senior leadership presents Bronze Star Medal to Vietnam vet
 By Sgt. Fredrick Coleman , CENTCOM Public Affairs
  
 MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. — After a 46-year wait, Army Sgt. Robert French was presented a Bronze Star Medal for his actions in the Vietnam War by his wife Kaye during a ceremony conducted by Army Maj. Gen. Karl R. Horst, U.S. Central Command chief of staff, during a ceremony at the USCENTCOM Welcome Center March 5. “The real heroes are still over there; the ones who didn’t make it back. I’m one of the lucky ones who made it back,” said French. “If I would have got it [the medal] in Vietnam, it wouldn’t have meant as much to me then as it does today.  I’m very happy to have my family and friends here with me.” Drafted into the Army, French served as a radioman with Company C, 9th Infantry Division with the Mobile Riverine Forces, which was based on Navy ships in the South Vietnam Mekong Delta in 1967. On June 19, French and approximately 300 soldiers walked into an ambush at Ap Bac near the Mekong Delta. During the three-day battle 47 American were killed,  and French was shot in his back near his spine.  Three of the four helicopters sent in to rescue French and other wounded soldiers were shot down. After one of the helicopters went down, French was rescued by a chaplain who pulled him out of the water. “I would have drowned if not for him,” said the Carrollwood, Fla. resident in a Tampa Tribune article. French and retired Army Maj. Jack Benedick, who served as French’s platoon commander at the time, attended a reunion in 2000. During the event, Benedick learned that neither French nor the other four service members nominated for the award ever received the medal. In 2011, Benedick started the process again. Two year later, with help from U.S. Representative Gus Billirakis, from Florida’s 12th Congressional District, and Army Command Sgt. Maj. Anthony Marrero, senior enlisted leader to the USCENTCOM Headquarters Commandant, French, now 67, received his award in front of his friends and family, including his 12-year-old granddaughter Amber. “I’m really happy for my grandfather for getting this award.  I’m proud that he did it [served in Vietnam] because he wanted to, not because he had to.” said Amber. Horst said in his opening remarks the underlying theme of the ceremony is it’s never too late to do the right thing, and today, 46 years later, the military did the right thing by presenting a Bronze Star to Sgt. French. “This was an award that he earned 46 years ago, and it has taken us 46 years to get it right,” said Horst. “Today is remembering the valor, the heroism, the warrior ethos of a young noncommissioned officer who lived to fight another day while many of his comrades did not.” As of today, three of the five troops nominated for Bronze Stars for their actions in 1967 have received their awards.  The remaining two are awaiting approval.

#### THE PEOPLE, Respondent, v. PETER CUCCHIETTE, Appellant.

Criminal Law—Rape—Female Under Age or Consent—Sufficiency of Evidence to Support Conviction.—In this prosecution of a man for lape upon Ms thirteen yeai old daughtei the evidence is sufficient to justify a conviction in view of section 263 of the Penal Code providing that “the essential guilt of rape consists in the outrage to the person and feelings of the female. Any sexual penetration, however slight, is sufficient to complete the crime.”

Id.—Argument of District Attorney—Reference to Other Similar Offenses.—There is sufficient evidence in the record to warrant the *496comment of the district attorney in Ms argument to the jury of the commission or attempted commission by the defendant of other illicit acts upon other members of Ms family.

APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Fresno County. H. Z. Austin, Judge.

The facts are stated in the opinion of the court.

W. D. Crichton, and C. K. Bonestell, for Appellant.

U. S. Webb, Attorney-General, and J. H. Riordan, Deputy Attorney-General, for Respondent.

RICHARDS, J.

This is .an appeal from a judgment of conviction of the defendant of the crime of rape, perpetrated by him upon the person of his thirteen year old daughter. It is not necessary and would not be edifying to review the evidence in this case. The appellant concedes that the proofs presented by the prosecution would have warranted a conviction of an attempt to commit rape. We think the evidence goes further, and was sufficient to have justified the jury with the parties before it in finding the defendant guilty of the higher crime, in view of the provisions of the Penal Code relating to this offense: ‘1 The essential guilt of rape consists in the outrage of the person and feelings of the female. Any sexual penetration, however slight, is sufficient to complete the crime.” ( Pen. Code,.sec. 263.)

The only other point relied upon by the appellant is that of misconduct on the part of the district attorney in commenting in his argument to the jury upon other illicit acts of the defendant, done or attempted upon other members of his family. We think there is sufficient in the record to have warranted the insinuation of the district attorney that this was not the first time that the defendant had attempted the commission of this bestial and revolting crime.

The judgment is affirmed.

# NATO names new senior civilian in Afghanistan

/ Published Jan. 27, 2010

NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen and Mark Sedwill, NATO’s new Senior Civilian Representative in Afghanistan. KABUL, Afghanistan (January 26, 2010) — NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen announced his decision to appoint Ambassador Mark Sedwill as NATO's new Senior Civilian Representative in Afghanistan. 

Sedwill, who is currently the British ambassador to Afghanistan, is due to take office after the London Conference on Jan. 28. 

“Ambassador Sedwill is eminently qualified to take up this position” Rasmussen said. “He knows the country, the Afghan people and the Afghan Government. He knows the region: he has been the British Deputy High Commissioner in Pakistan, which is clearly a very valuable background for his new position.”

Sedwill will succeed Ambassador Fernando Gentilini, who served as NATO’s fourth Senior Civilian Representative in Afghanistan from May 2008 to January 2010. 

“Ambassador Gentilini has done an excellent job,” Rasmussen said. “I would like to congratulate him for his dedication, his energy, and his determination to help the Afghan people build a better future.”

Sedwill takes his new post at a critical time, as 2010 will witness a new momentum in the international effort to help Afghanistan provide for its own security and stability. As the NATO-led military mission expands, the civilian effort is expanding as well, making the coordination of that civilian effort more important than ever. “I look forward to playing my part in trying to help build a more coherent international effort, civilians alongside the military,” Sedwill said.

#### EXCHANGE BANK, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. COUNTY OF SONOMA, Defendant and Appellant.

*609Counsel

James P. Botz, County Counsel, and Lynda Millspaugh, Deputy County Counsel, for Defendant and Appellant.

Anderson, McDonald, Belden & Kelly and John E. McDonald for Plaintiff and Respondent.

Opinion

KANE, J.

In consolidated actions to recover taxes paid under protest plaintiff prevailed. County appeals, contending that the taxpayer failed to exhaust its administrative remedies before the county board of supervisors sitting as a board of equalization.

The facts are undisputed. Plaintiff bank was the lessee of an IBM data processing unit which is five feet high, six feet long, two feet eight inches wide, is mounted on wheels, and is easily movable. It was connected to the building in which it was situated only by an electrical cable plugged into a wall or floor socket.

*610Taxes were assessed on the assertion that the unit was a fixture of the realty.1 The trial court agreed with the bank’s claim that it was exempt from local ad valorem taxation on personal property under article XIII, section 16, of the California Constitution.

While ordinarily a taxpayer seeking relief from an erroneous assessment must exhaust available administrative remedies before resorting to the courts, an exception is made when the assessment is a nullity as a matter of law *(Stenocord Corp.*v. *City etc. of San Francisco*(1970) 2 Cal.3d 984, 987 [88 Cal.Rptr. 166, 471 P.2d 966]) and no factual questions exist regarding the valuation of the property which, upon review by the board, might be resolved in the taxpayer’s favor, thereby making further litigation unnecessary *(Star-Kist Foods, Inc.*v. *Quinn*(1960) 54 Cal.2d 507 [6 Cal.Rptr. 545, 354 P.2d 1]).

Here, the facts were not in dispute. The single question was a legal one—whether the IBM unit was personalty or realty, a question that the local board had no special competence to decide.

“Prior application to the local board of equalization has not been required, however, in certain cases where the *facts were undisputed and the property assessed was tax-exempt*. . . .” *(Star-Kist Foods, Inc.*v. *Quinn, supra*at p. 510; emphasis added.) This is precisely such a case.

In addition to the stare decisis mandate, however, we cannot overlook the inequitable result which would flow from a contrary conclusion in the case at bench. Here, the board of equalization determined that the data processing unit was not a fixture for fiscal year 1971-1972. To permit the • county to retain the taxes collected for the earlier years would constitute unjust enrichment *(Brenner*v. *Los Angeles*(1911) 160 Cal. 72, 80 [116 P.397]).

The judgment is affirmed.

Taylor, P. J., and Rouse, J., concurred.

1

 For the 1971-1972 tax year, however, the county agreed that the unit was personalty.

# Female soldiers work with women of Afghanistan

/ Published Aug. 30, 2011

DEH DADI, Afghanistan (August 30, 2011) — The U.S. Army has teams that specialize in different tasks, such as training Soldiers during simulated war or teaching Soldiers how to parachute from an airplane. When it comes to helping the women of Afghanistan, the Army has teams for that too.

Soldiers with a female engagement team, 40th Engineer Battalion, 170th Infantry Brigade Combat Team delivered medical supplies to a health clinic here June 1.

The female soldiers were greeted by crowds of bouncing children and smiling villagers. They’d met with the district governor and the women in town several times and the welcome was typical, said Spc. Katherine Bauer, a Soldier with the team.

The all-female team works with women in Balkh province, something many Soldiers can’t do because of cultural boundaries.

“Our job is to engage [Afghan] females and find out how they feel about the community, how they feel they can improve their lives, and what we can do to help them get to where they want to be,” Bauer said.

The last time the Soldiers spoke with the governor and local women, they identified a lack of medical supplies in the district. This time, they put that information into action and brought medical supplies to the clinic.

“It was so rewarding to be there and meet the people so they can see that their Afghan representatives, partnered with the U.S. Army, can actually help them and make their lives a little better,” Bauer said.

Because of the team’s unique ability to hear the voice of Afghan women, their existence is key in helping the local government create a stable environment, she said.

“There tends to be a lack of addressing women’s needs,” said Staff Sgt. Samira Abdullahmuhammad, a member of the team. “Being able to identify that allows American forces, as well as Afghan forces, to address a population that has kind of been ignored for a while.”

“They’re very appreciative of us being here and it shows in the way they greet us. It shows in the way they provide us with the information of what they need. And every time we come around it becomes more of a family relationship instead of a partnership,” she added.

Abdullahmuhammad and Bauer expressed their passion toward aiding a government that wants to help its people.

“It’s an amazing feeling and I would continue to do this as long as I can,” said Abdullahmuhammad.

“I definitely think that the 40th Engineer Battalion has all the right ideas about how to reach out to the community and work with the Afghan officials to help them reach out as well,” said Bauer.

“I’m really proud to be a part of this unit, and I think we’re definitely taking steps closer to having Afghanistan be its own country, run by its own people,” she said.
#### § 557.7 Public hearing.

If the Administrator decides that a public hearing under this part is necessary, he issues a notice of public hearing in the Federal Register, to advise interested persons of the time, place, and subject matter of the public hearing and invite their participation. Interested persons may submit their views through oral or written presentation, or both. There is no cross-examination of witnesses. A transcript of the hearing is kept and exhibits may be accepted as part of the transcript. Sections 556 and 557 of title 5, U.S.C., do not apply to hearings held under this part. When appropriate, the Chief Counsel designates a member of his staff to serve as legal officer at the hearing.

Release Number 20230915-01

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

**TAMPA, Fla. -**“In November 2021, U.S. Army Central (ARCENT) completed its investigation into the August 26, 2021 terrorist attack at Abbey Gate. The tragic bombing claimed the lives of 13 American heroes and more than 170 innocent Afghan civilians. The ARCENT-led investigation reviewed thousands of pages of documents and obtained information from more than 130 witnesses. Since the completion of that investigation, some service members have publicly testified about their experiences at Abbey Gate and the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.

“In early June 2023, the commander of U.S. Central Command, Gen. Michael “Erik” Kurilla, formally directed Lt. Gen. Pat Frank, the current ARCENT commander, to conduct a review of public testimony to determine whether it contained any new information not previously considered in the ARCENT-led investigation of 2021.

“Frank completed his review in August. One of the witnesses, Sergeant Tyler Vargas-Andrews, USMC, who was not interviewed as part of the earlier investigation, made statements about his experience that contained new information not previously shared by any other witness.

“Frank's review also identified additional service members wounded during the Abbey Gate attack who were not interviewed, due to their immediate medical evacuation in the aftermath of their attack.

“As a result of the review, Gen. Kurilla has formally directed Lt. Gen. Frank to conduct interviews with these service members and other personnel, as necessary. The purpose of these interviews is to ensure we do our due diligence with the new information that has come to light, that the relevant voices are fully heard and that we take those accounts and examine them seriously and thoroughly, so the facts are clear. These interviews will seek to determine whether those not previously interviewed due to their immediate medical evacuation possess new information not previously considered, and whether such new information, if any, would affect the results of the investigation, and to ensure their personal accounts are captured for historical documentation.

“The primary next of kin of the service members killed at Abbey Gate were being informed of the supplementary interviews as of Sept. 15.

“The process of conducting these interviews will begin in the coming days. Although Gen. Kurilla has requested an update within 90 days, he has also directed Lt. Gen. Frank to take whatever time is necessary to ensure each of the witnesses not interviewed as part of the investigation have an opportunity to share their experience and perspective.”

June 23: Military Airstrikes Continue Against ISIL Terrorists in Syria and Iraq
 By CJTF - Operation Inherent Resolve News Release
  June 23, 2015 Release # 20150623 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE **SOUTHWEST ASIA –**
 Coalition military forces continued to attack ISIL terrorists in Syria 
and Iraq June 22. In Syria, coalition military forces conducted three 
airstrikes using fighter and remotely piloted aircraft. Separately in 
Iraq, coalition military forces conducted 14 airstrikes approved by the 
Iraqi Ministry of Defense using attack, fighter and remotely piloted 
aircraft against ISIL terrorists. “Coalition air power provides a 
significant advantage for ground forces in hybrid warfare,” said Brig. 
Gen. Thomas Weidley, CJTF-OIR chief of staff. “We see this materializing
 daily in support of our enabled partners within the battlespace.” The following is a summary of the strikes conducted since the last press release: **Syria** *
 Near Tal Abyad, three airstrikes struck three ISIL tactical units, an 
ISIL fighting position, an ISIL heavy machine gun and an ISIL vehicle. **Iraq** * Near Habbaniyah, one airstrike destroyed seven ISIL rocket rails. * Near Hit, one airstrike struck an ISIL tactical unit, destroying an ISIL anti-aircraft weapon. * Near Kirkuk, one airstrike struck an ISIL fighting position. *
 Near Mosul, three airstrikes struck an ISIL tactical unit and an ISIL 
staging area, destroying an ISIL building and an ISIL heavy machine gun. * Near Ramadi, four airstrikes struck multiple ISIL staging areas. * Near Sinjar, one airstrike struck an ISIL tactical unit, destroying two ISIL heavy machine guns and an ISIL bunker. * Near Tal Afar, one airstrike struck an ISIL tactical unit, destroying an ISIL building and an ISIL mortar firing position. * Near Waleed, one airstrike destroyed an ISIL vehicle. Airstrike assessments are based on initial reports. All aircraft returned to base safely. The
 strikes were conducted as part of Operation Inherent Resolve, the 
operation to eliminate the ISIL terrorist group and the threat they pose
 to Iraq, Syria, the region and the wider international community. The 
destruction of ISIL targets in Syria and Iraq further limits the 
terrorist group's ability to project terror and conduct operations. 
Coalition nations which have conducted airstrikes in Iraq include 
Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Jordan, Netherlands, United
 Kingdom and United States. Coalition nations which have conducted 
airstrikes in Syria include Bahrain, Canada, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, 
United Arab Emirates and the U.S.
