“The military family came in when we got into a disagreement about the war,” said the shop’s owner, Gary Ozuna. “(It) turns out we were both talking about the same thing (and) it was a misunderstanding.”

Following the incident, Pacific Grove Mayor Dan Court took Williams around to other restaurants and introduced him to other members of the community.

On Monday, Ozuna put up a sign that read “Military Welcome. One Free Scoop Of Ice Cream.” He said he started giving away free ice cream to those in the military following the incident.

She was a bankrupt pal of several U.S. presidents. His firm had been suspended from government-financed housing projects for repeatedly violating regulations......

This change order, approved by the Navy in August 2007, forgave $14 million in cost overruns and delays on the Navy privatized housing project in the Pacific Northwest.

There are 2 paths when blowing whistle; on neither is success likely
Together, they and others formed a company that won billion-dollar Defense Department contracts and took ownership of 8,000 military homes, including 3,000 in Washington. The result was a spectacular failure that has cost taxpayers millions and delayed new home construction and renovations.




Dis-fvcking-gusting, the Navy.
