The 314th TCG served in Japan during the Korean War, participating in two major airborne operations, at Sunchon in October 1950 and at Munsan-ni in March 1951. It later transported supplies to Korea and evacuated prisoners of war. USAF Image

Vietnam January 1970
4th Infantry Division M88 Recovery Vehicle in the Field. The M88 Recovery Vehicle is one of the largest armored recovery vehicles (ARV) currently in use by United States Armed Forces.
The M88's primary role is to repair or replace damaged parts in fighting vehicles while under fire, as well as extricate vehicles that have become bogged down or entangled. The main winch on the M88A2 is capable of a 70-ton, single line recovery, and a 140-ton 2:1 recovery when used with the 140 ton pulley. The A-frame boom of the A2 can lift 35 tons when used in conjunction with the spade down.
The spade can be used for light earth moving, and can be used to anchor the vehicle when using the main winch. The M88 employs an Auxiliary power unit (APU) to provide auxiliary electrical and hydraulic power when the main engine is not in operation. It can also be used to slave start other vehicles, provide power for the hydraulic impact wrench, as well as the means to refuel or de-fuel vehicles as required. The M88 series of vehicles can refuel M1 tanks from its own fuel tanks, but this is a last resort due to the possibility of clogging the AGT-1500s fuel filters. The fuel pump draws fuel from the bottom of the fuel cell, and with it, all of the sediment that has accumulated with time


The first McDonald's


Antietam battlefield. The pontoons you see are the very ones that Burnside hoped to get in November instead of December. See the full version to check out a First Michigan wagon at lower left and so much more! The little town of Berlin used to be at and above the location of the current MARC train parking area in Brunswick, MD. The tall, modern bridge was built just a few yards to the east (or left) of the old bridge, whose piers are visible spanning the Potomac at left. Virginia is on the horizon with the town of Lovettsville a few miles beyond

Those are some big, loud track vehicles. You could hear them coming a mile away!

A suburb of Kyiv made so colorful to brighten up grey Soviet-type buildings. The city is now under attack.


An Avro Lancaster of No. 1 Group, Bomber Command, silhouetted against flares, smoke and explosions during the attack on Hamburg, Germany, by aircraft of Nos. 1, 5 and 8 Groups on the night of 30/31 January 1943. This raid was the first occasion on which H2S centimetric radar was used by the Pathfinder aircraft to navigate the force to the target. The pilot of the photographing aircraft (Lancaster 'ZN-Y' of No. 106 Squadron, based at Syerston) was Flt Lt D J Shannon who, as a member of No. 617 Squadron, took part in Operation CHASTISE (the "Dams Raid") during the following May.

That's my Uncle Bill (5th Marine Div) that she's tending. Oorah .

Those nurses were truly courageous. I'd bet that most were just as brave as the soldiers they tended. Then they managed to live with the memory of all of those broken bodies.

oh yeah, and no Teacher ever touched me with a ruler or pinched or slapped.. any teacher who would have tried that would have been in a world of pain soon after.
