He holds the rank of Lieutenant in the Blues and Royals regiment of the Household Cavalry of the British Army. Harry was a tank commander, trained to lead a 12-man team in four armoured reconnaissance vehicles. After the decision not to send him to Iraq, he retrained as a forward air controller, the job he performed in Afghanistan. He was serving on the front line in Afghanistan[3] although he was pulled out on 29 February 2008 after the world media revealed his presence there and the British authorities became concerned for his safety and the safety of those around him. He had served in Afghanistan between 14 December 2007 and 29 February 2008, for a total of 77 days.[4] His full title is His Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales, although he is commonly referred to as Prince Harry.

Wax Hitler returns to museum after beheading Former Berlin police officer said he tore off statue's head to win a bet BERLIN - A restored waxwork of Adolf Hitler has returned to Berlin's Madame Tussauds after a demonstrator ripped off its head when it went on show two months ago, the museum said on Sunday. Minutes after the museum opened in July, a former Berlin police officer scuffled with guards and leapt over a rope before tearing off the head of the wax model of the Nazi leader. Madame Tussauds said the figure had been returned to a room featuring a mock bunker, where visitors could see the figure from behind glass windows, but not touch it,

Slide 4

The waxwork shows a despondent-looking Hitler staring in front of him, his hair slightly disheveled. The wax Hitler had sparked a heated debate in Germany even before it went on display in July. Critics argued it was tasteless to display the replica of the man who unleashed World War Two and ordered the extermination of Europe's Jews. Madame Tussauds said the museum avoided politics. "As we've explained from the start, Adolf Hitler stands for a significant part of German history and his waxwork therefore is a legitimate part of our exhibition, which we had confirmed through local polls," the museum said in a statement. The 41-year-old who beheaded Hitler had shouted "No more war!" as he tore off the head. He told newspapers later he was angry about the exhibition but he had carried out the attack to win a bet.

Almost 2,000 rescued in Galveston area after Ike Nearly 2,000 people who did not evacuate for Hurricane Ike have been rescued in the Galveston area, a state official said Sunday. Also Sunday, a Galveston County sheriff's official said three bodies were pulled from storm wreckage there, bringing to at least nine the number of U.S. deaths linked to Ike. Emergency personnel have rescued about 1,948 people, including 394 by air, in and around Galveston, said Steve McCraw, director of Texas Homeland Security. Galveston had ordered an evacuation before Ike crashed into the area early Saturday as a Category 2 hurricane, but many residents stayed on the island. Galveston County sheriff's Sgt. Greg Hayes said three bodies were found in Port Bolivar, located across the narrow entrance to Galveston Bay from Galveston Island.

Among the coastal Texas residents who found themselves in trouble after Ike hit were Paul and Kathi Norton. They overslept as Ike closed in on their home, so they decided to tough it out because their evacuation route was already flooded. Though their Crystal Beach, Texas, home, about 20 miles northeast of Galveston, was on 14-foot stilts, the couple was concerned, they told CNN affiliate KHOU-TV in Houston, Texas. "My husband made me wear a life jacket inside our house," Kathi Norton said. "Thank God for that, or I couldn't be here." Early Saturday, about two hours before Ike officially made landfall, high winds and rising floodwaters began battering their home. The house began collapsing, and "if the flagpole wouldn't have stopped the house, the house would've crushed us," Kathi Norton said. "It took the floor up, buckled down and took it right off the piling. And we dove out the door and grabbed the staircase, and we floated off," Kathi Norton told KHOU on Sunday after the couple was delivered in a National Guard helicopter to an evacuation point in Texas City, Texas.
