Download or read book Kimberly s Flight written by Anna Simon and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2012-05-19 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. Army Captain Kimberly N. Hampton was living her dream: flying armed helicopters in combat and commanding D Troop, 1st Squadron, 17th Cavalry, the armed reconnaissance aviation squadron of the 82nd Airborne Division. An all-American girl from a small southern mill town, Kimberly was a top scholar, student body president, ROTC battalion commander, and highly ranked college tennis player. In 1998 she was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Army. Then, driven by determination and ambition, Kimberly rapidly rose through the ranks in the almost all-male bastion of military aviation to command a combat aviation troop. On January 2, 2004, Captain Hampton was flying an OH-58D Kiowa Warrior helicopter above Fallujah, Iraq, in support of a raid on an illicit weapons marketplace, searching for an illusive sniper on the rooftops of the city. A little past noon her helicopter was wracked by an explosion. A heat-seeking surface-to-air missile had gone into the exhaust and knocked off the helicopter’s tail boom. The helicopter crashed, killing Kimberly. Kimberly’s Flight is the story of Captain Hampton’s exemplary life. This story is told through nearly fifty interviews and her own e-mails to family and friends, and is entwined with Ann Hampton’s narrative of loving and losing a child. Retired award-winning journalist Anna Simon was been a reporter with The Greenville News in South Carolina for 21 years. She received the South Carolina Press Association’s first place award for Reporting in Depth for 2009, and is a past recipient of multiple awards in education reporting, the press association’s Judson Chapman Award for Community Service, and other news and feature writing awards. Kimberly’s mother, Ann Hampton, first met Anna Simon at the bleakest point in her life, immediately following her daughter’s death, when Ms. Simon wrote a series of stories for The Greenville News about Kimberly’s life and the reaction in the small Southern town of Easley, SC to her death. Ann has traveled twice to Iraq, in 2010, as a Gold Star Mom in a "Hugs for Healing" program sanctioned by the U.S. State Department, where American and Iraqi mothers grieving the deaths of their children worked side-by-side on humanitarian projects, and in 2011 on a humanitarian mission with “Friends of Kurdistan.”

This full account brings readers behind the heist memorialized in Goodfellas, a crime that has baffled law enforcement for decades.

On December 11, 1978, a daring armed robbery rocked Kennedy Airport, resulting in the largest unrecovered cash haul in world history, totaling six million dollars. The perpetrators were never apprehended and thirteen people connected to the crime were murdered in homicides that, like the crime itself, remain unsolved to this day.

In 2013, this infamous criminal act again flared up in the national news when five reputed gangsters were charged in connection to the robbery.

Download or read book Pennies from an Angel written by Tamara Pelosi and published by Hillcrest Publishing Group. This book was released on 2008-11 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time, I reveal the horrendous events that began on October 21, 2001 when my husband, Dan Pelosi, became the primary suspect in the murder of Theodore Ammon. Three years later he was found guilty and sentenced to twenty-five years to live. When the bludgeoned naked body of the wealthy financier was found in his East Hampton country estate, my life and the lives of my children were never the same again. The death of the New York millionaire instantly became a sensational news item that led to hundreds of stories printed in every Long Island newspaper as well as lengthy articles in Time Magazine, The Star and other tabloids. The East Hampton murder didn't stop the printed word, national television jumped in with specials on Paula Zahn Live, Primetime, Dateline, 48 Hours, Court TV and a Lifetime TV movie called Murder in the Hamptons. Depressed, humiliated and filled with shame, I prayed to God for help. He sent me an Angel. When I felt confused and alone, pennies miraculously appeared that gave me the faith to forge ahead. Surprisingly, from a place of disgrace and shame, and the help of an Angel, I found the strength to hold my head up high. It has taken me over five years to find the courage to tell what it was like living on the sideline of a sensational murder, and more importantly, to expose the insanity of a twenty-year dysfunctional marriage.
