Hereditary & Military

You get firewater when you mix your hereditary makeup with a military assignment!

If your DNA is 100% Sicilian...then you're the product of Sicily, an island of southern Italy in the Mediterranean Sea west of the southern end of the Italian peninsula, which has been a Roman province, an Arab emirate and a Norman kingdom. The island reflects all of these rich influences with a wild mix of Baroque, Norman, and Arabic architecture.

The Doric temple at Segesta and the medieval castles of Erice to the WWII battlefields to the picturesque coast of Palermo, and the fishing port of Cefalu -- all reflect the long story of Sicilian history and culture.

Do not forget the cultural positioning of the Sicilian tyrant Hieron in the early 5th century B.C.E., the Greek-colonized city of Catania, and Sicilian emigration to the countries of Morocco and Brazil.

Influences can seen in the Moroccan cities of Marrakech, Casablanca (the largest city), Rabat (the capital) all with visions of ancient, sun-bleached Moorish arches, and the Portuguese-speaking country of Brazil.

Send this future blogging Sicilian to Southeast Asia where he has to confront the Southeast Asia hilltribes of Cambodia near Siem Reap, the former capital of the Khmer empire, and Angkor, one of the foremost architectural wonders of the world; and the guerrilas of the North Vietnamese Army near the Cu Chi Tunnels, and the Parrot's Beak and Fish Hook areas.

The Cu Chi Tunnels complex is approximately 60 kilometers northwest of Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City), while the Parrot's Beak (Svay Rieng province), is a piece of Cambodian territory which juts deeply between Tay Ninh and Kien Tuong provinces to within 25 kilometers of Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), the former Vietnamese capital. Note that the Fish Hook area was in the III Corps Tactical Area Of Responsibility
