  Blue Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blue Army or Haller's Army are informal names for the Polish Army formed in France during the later stages of World War I.
The army was created in June 1917 as part of the Polish units allied to the Entente.
The main bulk of the recruits were Poles serving in the French army and former prisoners of war of the German and Austro-Hungarian armies (approximately 35 000 men).

 United States Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The modern United States Army has its roots in the Continental Army which was formed on June 14, 1775, before the establishment of the United States, to meet the demands of the American Revolutionary War.
The Army of the United States was re-established for the Korean War and Vietnam War and was demobilized upon the suspension of the draft.
Although the present-day Army exists as an all volunteer force, augmented by Reserve and National Guard forces, measures exist for emergency expansion in the event of a catastrophic occurrence, such as a large scale attack against the US or the outbreak of a major global war.

 Army (U.S.)
It is white with yellow fringe, 4' 4" at the hoist by 5' 6" at the fly, with the insignia of the Army (a trophy of armor, weapons and flags adapted from the seal of the Department of the Army) applied in ultramarine blue.
Army organizations and units of battalion size or larger, including groups, brigades, divisions, corps, field armies, commands and agencies, are authorized either an *Organizational Color* or an *Organizational Flag*.
Some early U.S. Army colours, such as the National Standard of the 1st Regiment, dating from the 1790s, show the eagle reversed from that in the Great Seal of the United States, in that the arrows are in the eagle's right talon, and the olive branch in the left talon on the flag.

 DEPARTMENT OF ARMY V. BLUE FOX, INC.
The Department of the Army having required no Miller Act bond from the prime contractor, the subcontractor sought to collect directly from the Army by asserting an equitable lien on certain funds held by the Army.
In her view, Congress chose to protect subcontractors like Blue Fox through the bond requirements of the Miller Act, not by waiving immunity in the APA to permit subcontractors to sue the United States directly for amounts owed to them by the prime contractor.
Although Blue Fox also named the SBA as a defendant, the District Court granted summary judgment in the SBA’s favor, the Court of Appeals affirmed that decision, and Blue Fox has not challenged that ruling.

 Blue Fox, Inc. v. United States
Blue Fox informed the Army and SBA in writing on May 26, 1994, and again on June 15, 1994, that it had not been fully paid.
Blue Fox asserts that it is unlikely to collect on these judg- ments because existing liens against Verdan precede Blue Fox's judgment and the judgment exceeds the officers' indi- vidual net worths.
Blue Fox correctly observes that SBA was largely responsible for the Army's withdrawal of its Mil- ler Act requirement in the tripartite contract.

 No. 97-1642: U.S. Dep't of the Army v. Blue Fox Inc. - Merits
Although in her view the Army should not have approved the Verdan contract absent the posting of an adequate surety bond-and the absence of the bond is what "caused [respondent's] loss"-requiring the Army to pay money to respondent was simply one way of giving respondent the "money damages" remedy that the APA proscribes.
But if the Army's failure to require a bond is the "agency action" subject to review, money from the Treasury cannot be "specific relief," as it does not give respondent "the very thing to which" respondent "was entitled," i.e., Army action to ensure that a bond from a qualified surety is posted.
SBA, the Army, and Verdan signed a tripartite agreement under which SBA subcontracted with Verdan for performance on the contract, and then delegated responsibility for administering the contract to the Army.

 Capitol Hill Blue: Army misses recruiting goal -- again   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
Army officials have said recruiting has become more difficult because of wariness among some young people and their parents about enlisting during wartime, as well as a growing economy offering more civilian job opportunities.
Army Recruiting Command spokesman Douglas Smith said it was not a worry that the Army was lagging behind last year's numbers.
Fiscal 2005 was one of the poorest recruiting years for the Army since the start of the all-volunteer military in 1973 during the tumult of the Vietnam War era.

 A Tribute to General Jozef Haller and the Blue Army
The Army, also known as Haller's Army and the Blue Army, fought under French Command in World War I, as well as in the Polish-Soviet War of 1918 -1921.
Many of the members of Haller's Army were Polish Americans who answered the call of prestigious recruiters, such as Igancy Paderewski, Polish Statesman and renowned musician.
The heroic exploits of General Haller and his army were repressed by the Soviets and much of the written history of the Blue Army is all but gone.

 The Blue Army of Fatima - What Went Wrong?
The Blue Army in its basic and simplest form is really like the opening of the door of the human heart to the heart of Mary, and through the heart of Mary to an intimate union with the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the Eucharist.
(a) The Blue Army was endorsed by Pope Pius XII.
Unfortunately, although the Blue Army still exists, it is not even the shadow of what it was at one time - physically and spiritually - and we would not recommend it "as is" for a number of concrete valid reasons which we will keep to ourselves.

In simplicity, the blue Army Service Uniform eliminates the need for numerous sets of green Class A uniforms, service blue uniforms and, for some, Army white mess uniforms (and tunics, for women).

 DEPARTMENT OF ARMY V. BLUE FOX, INC.
Because the Army did not require Verdan to post Miller Act bonds, Blue Fox sued the Army directly, asserting an equitable lien on certain funds held by the Army.
Holding that the waiver of sovereign immunity in §10(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. did not apply to Blue Fox’s claim, the District Court concluded that it lacked jurisdiction and granted the Army summary judgment.
The sort of equitable lien Blue Fox sought here constitutes a “money damages” claim within §702’s meaning; its goal is to seize or attach money in the Government’s hands as compensation for the loss resulting from Verdan’s default.

 WEOP - Section X, Blue Army Falsifies Message
Thus the Blue Army leadership no longer accepts Our Lady at Her word that the Consecration of Russia will be the means, but only a sign: - "a sign by which we will know that Russia is to be converted and that the tide of evil in the world is to be reversed".
This is the reason why the U.S. Blue Army President, Bishop Jerome J. Hastrich says in the March/April, 1984 issue of Soul magazine that instead of praying for the conversion of Russia, "We are rather to pray that members of the Blue Army would so pray and fast that they themselves might be thoroughly converted...
Many good people in the rank and file of the Blue Army have been deceived and continue in good faith to support by their alms and their moral support the leadership which is clearly opposed to the full Message of Our Lady of Fatima.
