Kilroy Was Here (S849d)
From: tom on 4/16/2013 Source:
Drawing from KilroyWasHere.org |
Kilroy was here is a famous American culture expression
that became popular during World War II; it is typically
seen in graffiti. Its origins are debated, but the phrase
and the distinctive accompanying doodle - a bald-headed
man (sometimes depicted as having a few hairs) with a
prominent nose peeking over a wall with the fingers of
each hand clutching the wall - became associated with GIs
in the 1940s.

The Great Escape - Tunnel Revealed

.........time-Revealed-67-years-passage-used-Great-Escape.html
Untouched for almost seven decades,
the tunnel used in the Great
Escape has finally been unearthed.
The 111-yard passage nicknamed
'Harry' by Allied prisoners
was sealed by the Germans after the
audacious break-out from the
PoW camp Stalag Luft III in western
Poland.
Despite huge interest in the
subject, encouraged by the film
starring Steve McQueen, the
tunnel remained undisturbed over
the decades because it was behind
the Iron Curtain and the Soviet
authorities had no interest
in its significance.

Subj: Requesting
A Three Day Pass (S743)
From: ezines@arcamax.com on 4/2/2011
An Israeli soldier who just enlisted
asked the Commanding
Officer for a 3-day pass.
The CO says "Are you crazy?
You just join the Israeli army,
and you already want a
3-day pass? You must do
something spectacular for that
recognition!"
So the soldier comes back a day later in an Arab tank!
The CO was so impressed, he asked "How did you do it?"
"Well, I jumped in a tank, and
went toward the border with
the Arabs. I approached
the border, and saw an Arab tank.
I put my white flag up, the
Arab tank put his white flag
up. I said to the Arab
soldier, "Do you want to get a
three-day pass? So we
exchanged tanks!"

Bill Mauldin, and his cartoons,
meant so much to the millions
of Americans who fought in World
War II, and to those who
had waited for them to come
home. He was a kid cartoonist
for Stars and Stripes, the military
newspaper; Mauldin's
drawings of his muddy, exhausted,
whisker-stubbled infantry-
men Willie and Joe were the
voice of truth about what it was
like on the front lines.

Quote On Truman Firing MacArthur (S699b)
From: Daniel Schumacher on Facebook on 6/22/10 Photo from TheFreeDictionary.com |
This week President Obama fired
General Stanley McChrystal
for comments made to the Rolling
Stones Magazine. Obama said
that no president in the last
fifty years had done this since
President Harry Truman had fired
General Douglas MacArthur.
President Harry Truman had just
fired Gen. Douglas MacArthur
for publicly disagreeing with
his policy against expanding
the Korean War into China. --
"I fired him because he wouldn't
respect the authority of the
president. I didn't fire him
because he was a dumb son-of-a-bitch,
although he was, but
that's not against the law for
generals. If it was, half to
three-quarters of them would
be in jail."
