Atomic Women, Vietnam at 50, Life Saving, Caller ID Spoofing Scam, Veterans Day Discount List


Reading recommendation: If you think that invisible towns and the girl-next-door being a secret agent are the stuff of fiction, read The Girls of Atomic City, by Denise Kiernan.  This is the true top-secret story of Oak Ridge women during WWII that enabled the dawn of the Atomic Age.

Stars & Stripes is running a series, and seeking your stories, on “Vietnam at 50” at: http://www.stripes.com/news/special-reports/vietnam-at-50

Here’s a well-deserved happy new beginning for one Afghan interpreter from CBS news: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505263_162-57609947/afghan-interpreter-janis-shinwari-spent-years-helping-save-american-lives-now-u.s-soldier-matt-zeller-saves-his/

The RAO Bulletin noted that Caller ID spoofing is on the rise: This is where your caller ID says it is the Sheriff’s office, Immigration Department, a bank or local utility company – but it’s not!  Never give your personal info, bank info, credit card #, or send money orders based on a phone call.  Check out the scoop first, and see: http://www.bbb.org/scam-stopper/ for more info on the latest scams.
