September 7 2026 I was asked to put these photos online so you know why I asked for help With Mc Donald's while in Washington DC service knows why I asked I need Administration to tell why Mail, Fax and share these articles. My life and My Families life are in Danger We are being held hostage by organized crime operations and Terrorist Government. Sincerely Steven Thomas Martin 8 22 Grandson Of President and First Lady Eisenhower A native Chicagoan, Ray Kroc left high school after his sophomore year to join the World War One Red Cross Ambulance Corps. The war ended before his unit was sent overseas with Ray returning home to earn a living as a musician and later selling paper cups. In 1939, he became the exclusive distributor of the Multimixer (a milkshake mixing machine). He visited the McDonald brothers in 1954 which led to him becoming their franchise agent. In 1955, Kroc opened the first McDonald’s east of the Mississippi river.
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday, Sarah!!
🇺🇸 Happy Labor Day from St. John Center!
Today, we recognize the hard work, dedication, and contributions of workers throughout our community—including the incredible staff, volunteers, and partners who help make St. John Center’s work possible every day.
Homelessness doesn’t take a holiday, and neither does the need for compassion, connection, and support. We’re especially grateful for those who continue showing up for our neighbors and helping people move toward housing and greater stability.
From all of us at St. John Center, we wish you a safe and meaningful Labor Day! 💙

September 6 2026 My Dad had Mentioned he was In a few Photos when he was younger and he looked like different. He also mentioned he gets torchered by people who want to rob him and have robbed him and our Family . I have found one photo that resembled him but he is not answering. I believe the terrorist organized crime operation and government here in the Ohio Valley did something to him and several other Family Members. If it isn't him it May be Larry Martin MD who is probbally deceased. My Grandfather and My Family said Kevin and Kenny and thier Family were terrorist and hide beside Martin establishments and they are probbally in the year of 2026 doing it again and out of prison and have access to alot of money and equipment including aircraft and Military chemicals.
