Seven other female nurses died during the war from accidents or illnesses. Despite ...

Eisenhower, the 34th president of the United States and one of the most highly regarded American generals of World War II, dies in Washington, D.C., at the age of 78. Born in Denison, Texas, in 1890, Eisenhower graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1915, and after World War I he steadily rose in the peacetime ranks of the U.S. Army.  After the U.S. entrance into World War II, he was appointed commanding general of the European theater of operations and oversaw U.S. troops massing in Great Britain.

From North Africa, he successfully directed the invasion...

 He gave his life to save his men and the mission. Medal of Honor Recipient Douglas B. Fournet. RIP Hero... 1st Lt. Fournet, Infantry, distinguished himself in action while serving as rifle platoon leader of the 2d Platoon, Company B. While advancing uphill against fortified enemy positions in the A Shau Valley, the platoon encountered intense sniper fire, making movement very difficult.  The right flank man suddenly discovered an enemy claymore mine covering the route of advance and shouted a warning to his comrades. Realizing that the enemy would also be alerted, 1st Lt. Fournet ordered his men to take cover and ran uphill toward the mine, drawing a sheath knife as he approached it.   With complete disregard for his safety and realizing the imminent danger to members of his command, he used his body as a shield in front of the mine as he attempted to slash the control wires leading from the enemy positions to the mine.  As he reached for the wire the...

 Charlotte Ray Ms. Ray was the first black American female lawyer in the United States. Ray graduated from Howard University School of Law in 1872. Also, she was the first female admitted to the District of Columbia Bar.  In addition to her admittance to the DC Bar she also had another admittance as the first woman admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia.  Ms. Ray set the stage for many women in other states who sought admission to the bar. As time went on she later opened her own law office, advertising in a newspaper run by Frederick Douglass.  Despite her efforts and time spent she was only able to practice law for only a few years because prejudice against African Americans and women made her business hard to maintain.  Eventually, Ray moved to New York, where she became a teacher in Brooklyn. She was involved in the women's suffrage movement and joined the...

 On This Day - March 22, 1982 – Ground was broken in Washington D.C. for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial designed by Maya Lin of Yale. Some little known information regarding the Memorial: The wall originally listed 57,939 names when it was dedicated in 1982; however other names have since been added and as of January 2022, there were 58,281 names, including eight women. The number of names on the wall is different from the official number of U.S. Vietnam War deaths as some names were omitted at the request of families. Directories containing all of the names are located on nearby podiums at both ends of the monument where visitors may locate specific names. The memorial has had some unforeseen maintenance issues. In 1984, cracks were detected in the granite and, as a result, two of the panels were temporarily removed in 1986 for study. More cracks were later discovered in 2010. There are a number of hypotheses about the cause of the cracks, the most common being due to therm...

 Rare photo of the man who is believed to be the deadliest sniper of the Vietnam war Adelbert Waldron: During his single deployment in Vietnam, Staff Sergeant Adelbert F. Waldron III made 109 confirmed kills in just six months, making him the most lethal sniper in the history of the U.S. Army. Adelbert Waldron preferred working in the shadows. During the Vietnam War, he became the conflict’s most prolific sniper while fighting in the dense jungle as a sergeant in the U.S. Army. And after returning home, he didn’t discuss his record-breaking 109 kills. Though snipers generally don’t brag about their records, some, like Chuck Mawhinney and Carlos Hathcock — both Marines — have become well-known for their combat records. Waldron, on the other hand, quietly returned home in 1969 and remained mum about his service for the rest of his life. But his military achievements speak for themselves. He had 109 confirmed kills, making him the deadliest sniper in the history of the U.S. A...

 THE VALLEY OF THE PLANETS One of the natural wonders of the world, known as Kawakeb. It is located in the Wan Tikofi valley of the Libyan desert near the mountain town of Ghat in southwest Libya.  Its rock formations, called trovants, resemble planets in the solar system and have literally ignited the imagination for centuries.  These geological formations with mysterious origins are radically different from other rocks on Earth.  They gradually grow, move and reproduce like living organisms, and after their break, concentric circles similar to tree circles are observed.  That's why they're called "living" or "moving" stones.

  BEFORE HE WAS HANGED South Africa's Solomon Kalushi Mahlangu said "My blood will nourish the tree that will bear the fruits of freedom. Tell my people that I love them. They must continue the fight, Aluta Continua" Mahlangu's trial started in the Supreme Court on 7 November 1977. He was defended by two advocates, Messrs Ismail Mohamed,  S.C.  and Clifford Mailer. They faced two counts of murder, two counts of attempted murder and various counts under the Terrorism Act. In its judgment the court found that Mahlangu and Motaung had acted with a common purpose and that it consequently did not matter which of the two had done the shooting and killing. Mahlangu was convicted on all counts. In terms of the South African law, the court was obliged to sentence an accused to death for murder, unless the accused proved mitigating circumstances. The court found that Mahlangu had failed to do so, and consequently handed down the  death sentence . The court refused...

 Before he became a soldier, Asoro was a sword bearer to Oba Ovonramwen Nogbaisi (who reigned between 1888 and 1897). He was a symbol of strength, courage, and patriotism; qualities that earned him the coveted titled of a General in the Benin Army. General Asoro is one remarkable historical figure Benin Kingdom will not forget in a hurry. He was one of the most outstanding warriors who fought gallantly during the Benin-British war. He led other warriors in resisting the entry of British invaders in 1897 into Benin City. His statement "no other person dare pass this road except the Oba" (So kpon Oba) was later translated to "SAKPONBA", the name of a well-known road in Benin. To commemorate his contribution, his statue was erected at what is now Oba Ovonramwen Square, at the beginning of Sakponba Road, Benin City. According to tradition, that was the very spot Chief Asoro died.

 This Photo was taken by Major Clarence L. Benjamin at the moment when the people on the train saw the tanks and realized that they had been released. Jewish prisoners after being released from the death train, 1945 It was Friday, April 13, 1945. A few miles northwest of Magdeburg, near the River Elbe, a railroad ran through a forested gorge. Major Clarence L. Benjamin led a small task force of two light tanks in a jeep on routine patrols. Suddenly, the group came across two hundred grubby civilians on the side of the road. There was something about them that was immediately evident: they looked like skeletons, thin, sickly, and could barely stand on their feet. At the sight of the Americans, they began to laugh with joy, although the laughter was more like hysteria. They were relieved, and soon the tankers found out why. They discovered the cause at the entrance to the railway. There they stumbled upon a long line of dirty ancient boxcars, silently standing on the ...
