OLYMPIC TORCH LIGHTING, Florida

description

Summary

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Dec. 7)--Coast Guard Cutter Kingfisher crewmen, Fireman Carlos Gonzalez, 20, from Los Angeles and Mr. Mike Orsa, from Sarasota, Fla., the Olympic Torch Runner of the day light the Olympic Torch before a large crowd gathered at the Jacksonville Landing about 8 a.m. today. Gonzalez was chosen by his command to help light the Torch because he is consistently a top performer and is a representation of the Coast Guard's core values of Honor, Respect and Devotion to Duty. Mr. Orsa, a computer programmer by trait and a native of New York City has volunteered his time to help with recovery efforts at the World Trade Center's "ground zero" for the past eleven weeks.

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
