He is one of four individuals to have attained the rank of fleet admiral of the United States Navy, the others being Ernest King, William Leahy, and Chester W. Nimitz. Born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Halsey graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1904. He served in the Great White Fleet and, during World War I, commanded the destroyer USS Shaw. He took command of the aircraft carrier USS Saratoga in 1935 after completing a course in naval aviation, and was promoted to the rank of rear admiral in 1938. At the start of the War in the Pacific (1941–1945), Halsey commanded the task force centered on the carrier USS Enterprise in a series of raids against Japanese-held targets. Halsey was made commander of the South Pacific Area, and led the Allied forces over the course of the Battle for Guadalcanal (1942–1943) and the fighting up the Solomon chain (1942–1945). In 1943 he was made commander of the Third Fleet, the post he held through the rest of the war. He took part in the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the largest naval battle of the Second World War and, by some criteria, the largest naval battle in history. He was promoted to fleet admiral in December 1945 and retired from active service in March 1947. Halsey died of a heart attack at age 76 on August 16, 1959. After lying in state in the Washington National Cathedral, he was interred on August 20, near his parents in Arlington National Cemetery. His wife, Frances Grandy Halsey, is buried with him.

As the Alamo was being besieged in San Antonio, Mexican Commander Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna sent out another column of 1,400 soldiers under the command of General Jose Urrea to take the key Texan post at Goliad. Goliad was a critical outpost for the Republic of Texas as it protected the supply routes to the Gulf of Mexico. However, it was only defended by a few hundred inexperienced Texans under the command of James Fannin. These men had been wavering over whether they should go to the assistance of their fellow Texans at the Alamo, but the arrival of General Urrea at their doorstep quickly made that impossible. Fannin wavered now once again, debating whether or not to defend Goliad at the risk of being surrounded or retreat and leave the key city to the Mexicans. Eventually he decided to retreat and join up with General Sam Houston, but this decision was much too late. As Fanin started out, Urrea and his men caught up with the few hundred Texans and surrounded them on a stretch of open prairie. The Texans repelled an initial assault by the Mexican troops and likely could have lasted a bit longer, but in their frantic retreat from Goliad they left behind the supplies necessary to survive a siege. Fannin had no other recourse but to surrender, and on March 20 he did just that, but on the promise from Urrea that his men would not be harmed. The Mexicans marched their new captives back to Goliad, holding the Texans at the very fort they had resided in. A few days later, General Urrea received a message from his commander Santa Anna that horrified him. It stated that he should not have taken the Texans prisoner in the first place and that he now must execute them. Santa Anna considered them traitors who deserved no quarter. Not wanting to disobey a direct order from Santa Anna, an act which could make him next in line for execution, Urrea had the Texans marched out of town to be killed. Thinking that they were being released, the Texan troops were blissfully ignorant of their coming fate. The Mexicans then separated the Texans into small groups, formed them into lines, and began firing volleys at the unsuspecting men. Within minutes nearly 350 Texans lay dead, almost double the number killed at the Alamo. After witnessing the slaughter of his men, James Fannin was next in line to be executed. He asked his Mexican captors three things: first that his possessions be sent to his family, second that he not be shot in the face, and third that he be given a Christian burial. Not only did the Mexican troops shoot him in the face, but they took his possessions, and they burned his body along with all the other Texan troops. This massacre, along with that of the Alamo, served not to crush the rebellion as Santa Anna had hoped, but to galvanize it, and within a month the Texans under Sam Houston decisively defeated Santa Anna’s army. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1648733417.jpg This well known pic has been wrongly captioned in the past, the aircraft carrier was in fact the USS Santee CVE-29 (not the USS Bataan CVL-29), the crew were; Ensign Earl D Peterson (Pilot), John Paul Armstrong (Gunner) and Charles George Mikoloski (Radioman).

The Zagros mountains run parallel to Iran’s coast on the Persian Gulf. These mountains were formed when the Arabian Plate collided with the Eurasian Plate, resulting in a number of ridges and faults for salt domes to form. The structure of the Zagros Mountains is shaped by more than 130 salt domes and it is one of the most significant simple folded systems in the world. The diapirs (a rising body of salt) break through the surface of the domes to produce flowing glaciers of salt. However, there is not enough rain occuring in this arid region to dissolve the salt and carry it away. Apart from salt domes, there are salt caves, including the longest salt cave in the world at over 6.4 km in the Namakdan Mountain, and also salt glaciers, salt valleys, karst sinkholes, and salt springs. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1648817971.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1648817971.jpg Here is an excellent aerial view of Grants, New Mexico taken in 1958.

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1648846770.jpg Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were convicted of espionage in a United States court on March 29, 1951 for spying on the development of the atomic bomb, the Manhattan Project, and giving that information to the Soviet Union. Julius Rosenberg was a member of the Communist Party USA during World War II and was recruited by a Soviet spy to provide the Soviets with U.S. military intelligence and weapons projects. Both Julius and his wife Ethel were very left-leaning politically and supported communist agendas in the U.S. during the 1930s and 1940s. The recruitment of Julius as a Soviet spy was fully divulged when his former Soviet handler, Alexander Feklisov, published a book in 2001. The Rosenburg’s spy operation came to light when British authorities arrested a Klaus Fuchs, a British physicist, in England in February 1950. The British investigation into Fuchs was assisted by the Federal Bureau of Investigations. Fuchs worked on the development of the atomic bomb for the Manhattan Project in the U.S. and England. He confessed to authorities that he passed information about the development of the bomb to a courier for the Soviets and that the courier was Harry Gold. U.S. authorities quickly arrest Gold and he confesses that he also received information about the development for the bomb from David Greenglass. Greenglass had worked in the laboratory that developed the atomic bomb. When Greenglass is arrested, he confesses that he was recruited by his sister Ethel and brother-in-law Julius to provide the information and both Ethel and Julius controlled the operation. Julius and Ethel were arrested in the early part of the second half of 1950. Their trial began on March 6, 1951 and they were convicted on March 29. They were sentenced to death and executed on June 19, 1953 by electrocution at Sing Sing Prison in New York. The Rosenbergs were the only Americans to be executed for espionage during the Cold War. Despite the evidence and testimony from members of the Rosenberg’s espionage ring, the Rosenbergs maintained their innocence. Prosecutors described Ethel as the brain of the operation during trial. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1648846770.jpg Daniel F. Bakeman holds two records.

John Walmsley, was awarded the Medal of Honor for the daring risks he took to drop bombs on targets during the Korean War. Walmsley, a former flight instructor, piloted a B-26 belonging to the 8th Bombardment Squadron. He was developing strategies for searchlight attacks against enemy convoys. Korea was resupplying its army overnight through truck and train convoys. One night, Walmsley discovered an enemy supply train near Yankgdok, Korea, as he flew over. This train was a high value target, according to a report. Walmsley identified and dropped bombs on the train, eventually running out. The train, as a result, was disabled. Instead of returning to base, Walmsley called for more friendly aircraft to complete the destruction of the train. While flying, he used his searchlight to expose the train. This, however, made him an easy target for the enemy. Walmsley made two low-level passes over the top of the train to guide the other B-26s. Before he could complete another pass, his plane took enemy fire. The damage to the aircraft was catastrophic and he crashed into the mountains nearby. Walmsley was a combat veteran and had already completed 25 combat missions. His courageous actions allowed his comrades to continue the fight even at the cost of his own life. Walmsley was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor June 12, 1954. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1648908015.jpg What were the Banana wars? US Marines with the captured flag of Augusto César Sandino in 1932: During a period of conflict between the United States and several Central American countries that came to be known as the Banana Wars, the US invaded and occupied Nicaragua in 1912 – although a number of other operations were carried out prior to this. The start of the Great Depression and the activities of the guerilla army led by Augusto Cesar Sandino were contributing factors to the withdrawal of US troops from Nicaragua in 1933. Military presence in Nicaragua was almost non-existent, but President Jose Santos Zelaya was staring down a rebellion led by Juan Jose Estrada. After two American mercenaries were executed by the men of Zelaya, the United States began to get involved. With the US navy patrolling the Bluefields coastline, they were basically supporting Estrada’s uprising. By 1909, approximately two hundred and fifty marines arrived on the Nicaraguan coast under the command of Corps Major Smedley Butler. Zeleya eventually fled Nicaragua due to political pressures and Jose Madriz became his successor. But with more rebel forces on the horizon, Madriz resigned, with new president, Juan Estrada coming into power in 1910. Financial relationships between Nicaragua and the United States began to grow, and even during Adolfo Diaz’s term as president, these relationships developed. Unfortunately, these relations began to strain Diaz’s local support, and he asked for support from the United States. As the Granada to Corinto railway was of interest of the United States, hundreds of Marines descended on Nicaragua. Great military battles ensued against opposing rebel groups and together with the Nicaraguan Army they were able to hold off the rebel forces. With Diaz therefore remaining in power as president of Nicaragua, the United States began to withdraw their forces but some forces remained to enforce peace in the country for fifteen years, but in doing so they were also able to protect their economic and political influence in the country. Augusto Cesar Sandino built up a rebellion army to challenge the Diaz government, and in the 1932 election, Juan Bautista Sacasa won presidency. Sandino promised to enter into peace discussions with Sacasa if the United States troops withdrew from Nicaragua, which he did after the last troops left in January 1933 |
