Memorial Day
Last night I found myself watching D-Day/Return of the 507th on GPB TV last night. It was a great documentory recalling the D-Day invasion and following days. It was amazing hearing the stories and experiences that our guys endured.
The documentory was based around the reunion and unveiling of a memorial for 507th Parachute Infantry Regiment. Towards the end one of the Veterens was aproached by a youg French boy, who asked him “why were you here on D-Day?” The man paused for a minute to think, his reply was “so that you can be here today”. I thought that was a great summary of what Memorial Day was all about.
I’d like to give a special thank you to all who serve in the armed forces and to those who lost their lives fighting for our freedom. THANKS
E Class Safety – Setting the Standard
The evidence is now clear: drivers of Mercedes vehicles are safer on the road than drivers of other car brands. This is the result of a study of Mercedes accident research based on official, anonymous data samples from the Federal Office of Statistics. Having looked at 18,748 accidents resulting in personal injury during the period from 2003 to 2007, the study found that the risk of being seriously or fatally injured as the driver of a E-Class, is 10.4 percent lower than for comparable vehicles of other brands.
The study did not even allow for the fact that Mercedes-Benz vehicles are involved in accidents less frequently than the vehicles of other brands – primarily because, among other reasons, Mercedes-Benz was the first manufacturer to introduce ESP® across the board. The study of accident severity only took into account accidents resulting in personal injury. The criteria were initial registration from 2002 onwards, as well as a performance and weight class corresponding to the E?Class. Continue reading
