Những tin tức và hình ảnh liên quan đến trận bão Sandy

Vùng Thủ đô Hoa Thịnh Đốn, mưa liên tục, nặng hạt hơn, gió thổi mạnh, và lạnh hơn... Một vùng của thành phố Alexandria phải di tản vì nước lụt. Tuyết xuống dọc theo vùng núi của Maryland, North Carolina và West Virginia... Dòng sông nổi tiếng Potomac, dự đoán sẽ bị tràn ngập (lụt) sau khi bão đi qua... Hệ thống xe điện ngầm của Washington, D.C ngưng hoạt động. Các trường Tiểu, Trung, Đại học, các cơ quan công quyền và tư nhân tại Thủ đô và vùng phụ cận hầu như đóng cửa ít nhất cho hết ngày Thứ Ba, 31 tháng 10, 2012.

Hơn 300,000 nhà bị mất điện... và còn nhiều hơn nữa...

Hình chụp ngày 29 tháng 10, 2012 dưới cơn mưa tầm tã...

SPC. Brett Hyde

Thế nhưng những người quân nhân thuộc Đệ Tam Trung Đoàn Lục Quân (3rd Infantry Regiment - The Old Guard), trú đóng tại Fort Myer, Arlington, Virginia, có nhiệm vụ đứng gác tại Mộ Chiến Sĩ Vô Danh (The Tomb Of Unknown Soldier) trong Nghĩa Trang Quốc Gia Arlington, vẫn không rời vị trí. Những người Vệ Binh Danh Dự (Honor Guards) này, hãnh diện và xem nhiệm vụ đứng hầu Mộ Chiến Sĩ Vô Danh như một nghĩa vụ thiêng liêng và cao quý. Và do đó, mặc cho mưa, nắng, gió, bão bùng, hay tuyết rơi, kể từ ngày 6 tháng 4, 1948 đến nay, chưa có một giây phút nào, Mộ Chiến Sĩ Vô Danh vắng bóng người Vệ Binh Danh Dự đứng hầu..

Hy vọng những hình ảnh này sẽ ấm lòng phần nào, đặc biệt những NT và CH của tôi, và Qúy Vị những người có lòng với Chiến Sĩ... trong khi ngoài trời gió lộng, mưa rơi, lạnh căm căm, dưới sự hoành hành của cơn bão lớn và nguy hiểm Sandy...
Nhưng nhìn người rồi nghĩ đến ta, chạnh lòng tôi (và Qúy Vị) khi nhớ đến Nghĩa Trang Quân Đội Biên Hòa, nơi hơn 16,000 Tử Sĩ QLVNCH đã vĩnh viễn nằm xuống, giờ không khói, không nhang, mộ phần tan nát, bởi sự trả thù của quân thù Việt gian cộng sản...

Xin được vài lời chia sẻ...
Xin lỗi nếu đã làm Qúy Vị suy nghĩ...
Mời Qúy Vị theo dỏi hình ảnh và bản tin để tường...

Hurricane Sandy in Photos

Oct 29, 2012

Hurricane Sandy, which has already claimed over 50 lives in the Caribbean, has traveled north. It will soon bring heavy winds and floodwaters to the mid-Atlantic region, combining with other weather systems to possibly become what some are calling a historic "superstorm." Gathered here are images from Sandy's story so far, from the Caribbean to preparations along the East Coast of the United States. In the next hours, as Sandy makes landfall, I will continue to update this post with new images from the newswires and elsewhere. [40 photos so far]
