Christy’s Easter Egg Hunt
Christy’s Easter Egg Hunt
by Samuel E. Warren Jr.
Christy Warren made Filipino History Sunday, April 8, 2012. She introduced the Easter Egg Hunt tradition to her family. The Saldana Family of Leyte hosted the First Saldana Family Easter Egg Hunt in Barangay Baras, Tanauan, Leyte.

The nieces and nephews are out of school for summer vacation. Holy Week 2012 activities were still in full swing in The Republic of the Philippines. Christy likes passing along family traditions about the holidays. Easter Eggs are an American tradition that had no significance in the Philippines. It is a fun activity for kids.
Republican President Rutherford Birchard Hayes, own children, pestered their father, the 19th president, to let them have an Easter egg hunt, which became an “Official Function” of The White House in Washington D.C., in 1878.

Christy had seen that American kids loved their Easter baskets and hunting for Easter eggs, so chances are Filipino kids would enjoy the challenge.
During Holy Week, Christy bought three dozen eggs for the kids to color. Then, Christy,Gilbert Roa, Pina Gempis, Vergie Saldana and Leneil Saldana put bite size candy bars into small bags to create Easter packets to go with the Easter eggs.
Master of Ceremonies Gilbert Roa, had been directed by his aunt, Christy Warren, to hide the Easter eggs the evening before. The kids had spent Saturday painting Easter eggs, so they were anxious for the Easter egg hunt.

At Oh- Dark-Thirty, which was 3:30 a.m., members of the Saldana Family began arriving for Christy’s Easter Egg Hunt. Plastic bags and an empty dog food sack filled the void of no commercial Easter baskets being available in the province.
Gilbert explained the rules at 6 a.m. Rayniel Saldana gave the benediction. After Rayniel’s Easter Sunrise prayer, Gilbert said the magic word, “Begin.”

Rayniel and Mac Mac Roa, could well be the human incarnations of “Flash, the fastest human being alive” because they dash out to begin looking for Easter eggs.

The adults were in a mood to watch the kids at work. Mano Bito strolled through the yard and Marife Roa strolled around the yard to make sure the kids were finding the hidden Easter eggs.

The Saldana, Roa, Tanahale, Mora and Gempis kids rushed around the house, into a shed and back into the house to check for Easter eggs.

With the determined diligence of NBI and FBI agents, the kids left no nook and cranny overlooked in their intense investigation of the premises.
The hunt lasted 45 minutes and the kids found all their Easter eggs and the Easter egg packets.

Then, of course, the kids were ready for the next Holy Week 2012 activity, which would involve a deployment to Pedro Bay.
Pedro Bay, of course, is the waters of the Western Philippine Sea, South China Sea, which is the waters of the Pacific Ocean, which washes upon the West Coast of the United States.
In the United States of America, across the International Date Line, The First Family of the United States of America at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Northwest, would host The White House Easter Egg Roll, Monday, April 9, 2012, on the south lawn of the White House.

Nuclear Solution For Terrorists by Samuel E. Warren Jr.
with one comment
A”Little Boy” and a “Fat Man” destroyed “The Enemy”,68 years ago
Nuclear Solution For Terrorists
“Fat Man” explodes on Nagasaki, Japan, August 9, 1945. The Mushroom clouds rises and confirms the second use of a Nuclear Weapon in combat. United States Government Photograph in the Public Domain.
by Samuel E. Warren Jr.
If you were on the other side of The International Date Line, then, World War II ended in Asia on August 14, 1945.
In Europe, people considered The End Of World War II in May 1945 because they quit fighting. However, the War In Asia continued and the problems of the War In Europe remained once the Europeans laid down their weapons because The War was A World War.
August 15, 2013 is The 68th Anniversary Of The End Of World War II.
Based on the Death, destruction and devastation of World War II, every year since, in every city, town, village or field on planet Earth people should dash out and dance and sing the day away to celebrate The Anniversary Of The End Of World War II.
People do not celebrate The Anniversary Of The End Of World War II because there is always another War going on somewhere in the world. Sometimes there are several smaller campaigns of violence ranging that have yet to be called a War.
August 6, 1945 – The B-29 Superfortress aircraft named, “Enola Gay,” piloted by United States Army Air Forces Colonel Paul Tibbets took off of the runway and flew the historic mission to drop “The First Atomic Bomb.” The bomb bay doors open and the bomb named , “Little Boy” exploded on Hiroshima, Japan.
August 9, 1945 – The B-29 Superfortress aircraft named, “Bockscar”, piloted by United States Army Air Forces Major Charles Sweeney took off of the runway and flew the second historic mission to drop a nuclear weapon in combat.
The bomb bay doors open and the atomic bomb named, “Fat Man” dropped on Nagasaki, Japan.
August 15, 1945 – “The Enemy” – Japan was ready to surrender to “The Allies.”
“The Allies” get the credit for ending World War II, as they should, for “The Blood And Treasure” of all the allied countries involved in ending World War II. It was a joint effort of ALL the nations of The Allies and their military services that ended World War II.
The Credit, (and some people would say, “Blame”) for the building and delivery of the two atomic bombs belongs solely to the United States Of America and The Government Of The United States Of America.
At a crucial point in World History, one nation had “The Guts” and “The Courage” to do “The Unthinkable” to end World War II. The War had spanned the globe and the “Conventional” series of campaigns and battles only led to more campaigns and more battles.
Two devastating weapons delivered the message: “This War Needs To End.”
Since World War II, nuclear weapons have not been used in combat. The result is The Conventional Wars drag on and on for years and decades. Once The Conventional Wars end, there is countless Death and horrific destruction, but the issues that initiated The War usually remain, so The War does not solve the issues that started The War.
The War On Global Terrorism is A War Of Sadistic Shadows.
The cowardly combatants hide in the shadows and strike when they have an opportunity. The Unofficial War On Global Terrorism has not been declared by another nation. “The War On Global Terrorism” is a catch phrase used to bring a nations’ law enforcement agencies and intelligence agencies together to send their officers and agents trampling around the world to try and “arrest” terrorists to be held accountable to “The Rule Of Law.”
Two Atomic Bombs – Two Nuclear Weapons were effective in bringing about the end of a World War.
Nations Of The World claim The War On Global Terrorism is crucial. No Atomic Bombs have been dropped on terrorists. No Nuclear Weapons have been “targeted” on terrorists.
In 1945 – 68 years ago – Nuclear Weapons proved their effectiveness – they ended World War II.
Perhaps, in the future, some nation or leader will decide “The Time” has come once again to rely on the effectiveness of Nuclear Weapons. The decision will require a leader and a nation with “The Guts” and “The Courage” to do “What Needs To Be Done.”
Since The War On Global Terrorism, is essentially, “Shadow Boxing A Cowardly Enemy Around The Globe”, a nuclear weapon or a series of nuclear weapons may not “Get Them All.” But, if enough terrorists are vaporized and incinerated at one time, then, their “Will” to wage a cowardly War Of Shadows should be severely curtailed.
If a nation does not aggressively strive to end The War On Global Terrorism;then, it will only be a matter of time before a terrorist builds or steals a Nuclear Weapon.
A Terrorist Will Not Hesitate To Use A Nuclear Weapon.
Are The Citizens Of The Nations Of The World and The Leaders Of The Nations Of The World willing to wait for a terrorist to use A Nuclear Weapon ?
August 2013 is The 68th Anniversary Of The Use Of Nuclear Weapons To End World War II.
Isn’t it time Citizens Of The Nations Of The World consider The Option to use Nuclear Weapons to prevent terrorists from starting World War III ?
