DNA from a 93-year-old museum specimen recently confirmed the story of the Xerces blue butterfly. It was the first insect in the United States that we know for certain was driven to extinction by human activity. It vanished forever from the San Francisco sand dunes in the early 1940s.

In 1947, after receiving permission from his mother (since he was not yet 18 years old), Steve McQueen enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. He was sent to Parris Island for boot camp. He was promoted to private first class and assigned to an armored unit. He initially struggled with conforming to the discipline of the service, and was demoted to private seven times. He took an unauthorized absence, going UA by failing to return after a weekend pass expired. He was caught by the shore patrol while staying with a girlfriend (Barbara Ross) for two weeks. After resisting arrest, he was sentenced to 41 days in the brig.
After this, McQueen resolved to focus his energies on self-improvement and embraced the Marines' discipline. He saved the lives of five other Marines during an Arctic exercise, pulling them from a tank before it broke through ice into the sea. He was assigned to the honor guard responsible for guarding the presidential yacht of US President Harry Truman. McQueen served until 1950, when he was honorably discharged. (Source: Wikipedia.)
