Omaha

south of downtown Omaha for the new Italian immigrants to settle; the neighborhood was created right before the Great Italian Migration in 1913. The Great Depression had a limited effect on Nebraska in the 1930s, Omaha faced few hardships. The New Deal, created by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, took place from 1933 to 1939 and provided economic relief…

Susie Buffett, of the Sherwood Foundation, confronted the board of Omaha Goodwill Industries. Ms. Buffet was very public about her staunch disapproval of the CEO executive compensation package which was near $1 million dollars. In 2014, Ms. Buffett was quoted as saying, “They will never get another penny of money from the Sherwood Foundation. There is my statement.” I agree with Ms. Buffett; the salary of the CEO of Omaha Goodwill is very unethical, and the board of directors should be…

On the beach, one of the most extreme parts of the battle was when the United States 1st infantry went through the worst part of the landing out of Omaha beach. Their tanks had been mostly destroyed before they even reached the shore. The 352nd division was some of the best trained troops, and within ten minutes, every officer and Sergeant had been either wounded or killed. The division had over 4,000…

represent anything else in the film. Saving Private Ryan failed to accurately retell the events of planning the D-day invasion and what went into the planning. While it did represent a small part of the Americans involvement with their invasions of Omaha and Utah beaches it failed to show anything else. The film also failed to show how the Battle of Normandy/D-Day Invasion is seen to be the beginning of the end of war in Europe, the film only showed a narrative story of a man…

culture. It is based on a thirty minute interview done in class. Marlin Jones was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska. I was born in The Virgin Islands on the island of Saint Croix.

and several surrounding towns. Gold Beach was the middle of the five D-Day beaches. It wasn’t as fortified as Omaha Beach was. British troops stormed Gold Beach after an hour of fighting got underway at the other D-Day beaches. It was secured within an hour as well. The most fortified beach of them all, Omaha Beach. This beach was surrounded by very steep cliffs and a lot of defenses. Omaha Beach was the bloodiest of the D-Day Beaches. We have reason to believe that the intel on the Germans…

surrounding trafficking. The Nebraska Task Force to Combat Human Trafficking further aids in raising statewide awareness and continues to attain numbers on those trafficked. The Human Trafficking Initiative in coordination with the Women’s Fund of Omaha has furthered the efforts of the state in an attempt to better quantify trafficking in Nebraska. Adding to these movements,…

Despite being one of the wealthiest men on Earth, he is still very modest and wise about how he spends his money. Warren has “remained somewhat of a midwestern folk hero, lunching on hamburgers, wearing rumpled suits, and living in the same house in Omaha, Nebraska, that he bought in 1958 for $31,500” (Dow and Noce). This clearly demonstrates modesty as Warren Buffett enjoys living the classic, American life and does not care much for elegance. Modesty is a quality that not only affects the one…

Contrary to the bombardment of Omaha Beach, the early aerial attacks wiped out much of the German defenses that the land troops would have had to encounter. British warships proved themselves during this time. These ships were incredibly accurate, even from miles away (D-Day). Giant land…
