Puisque mon fil sur le général Monclar a eu beaucoup de succès, je vais vous parler aujourd'hui des 1000 petits gars de 19 à 25 ans volontaires pour la guerre effroyable de Corée il y a 70 ans.
1017 hommes sur 3 millions de 20 nations,dont les exploits sont légendaires en Corée

Après la défaite du Japon en 1945, la Corée est divisée en deux, à l'instar de l'Allemagne. Au nord du 38e parallèle, les communistes. Au sud, un gouvernement pro américain.
Le 25 juin 1950, la Corée du Nord 150 000 soldats appuyés par des chars soviétiques envahissent le sud.

La petite armée sud-coréenne n'est absolument pas préparée et très inférieure en nombre. En quelques jours, Séoul et une grosse partie de la Corée du Sud sont prises.

He is lying in the Sniper Alley street, the UN firefighters who tried to help him are standing nearby, and in the version of the photograph that circulated most widely, the UN firefighters are shown in action, seemingly trying to block the area around Nermin.

Martí took a series of photographs after Nermin's killing in addition to one above, he took one at Nermin's funeral on November 21, 1994-an image that foregrounds Nermin's father, Paso Divovic, covering his face, crouched next to Nermin's freshly dug grave.
Seen a lot of people commenting on the F6F thing on Fbook - that's probably just a typo, so no worries, happens to the best!

Pilot Harold Mathew O'Leary was indeed rescued from the water & stayed in the Navy after the war. He had enlisted in 1939, was Aviation Pilot 1st Class by 1942, & went on to become LCDR. He died in an air crash in 1955, on approach to Hickham AFB. He was 34.
May he Rest in Peace.

With its 66 victims, the crash remains to this day the deadliest plane catastrophe in the history of both Hawaii & US Naval Aviation. More details about this sad event can be found here 🙏🇺🇸

1. En cette période de commémoration, je voudrais parler de Rose, une grande dame pour laquelle je veux tenir nos mémoires en éveil. Sa vie a basculé entre le 22/04 et le 17/06/1994. Chaque jour jusqu'au 17/06, je vais vous parler de celle qu'elle fut #laVieDeRose #Rwanda #RwOT🇷🇼
2. Comme toute chronique, l’itinéraire de vie que je vais vous raconter est divisé en plusieurs périodes. L'histoire de Rose suit le calendrier de l'Histoire de son pays natal, le Rwanda : avant 1959, entre 1959 et 1994, entre avril et juillet 1994 et après 1994. #laVieDeRose
3. Elle s’appelait donc Rose, et elle était aussi belle que la reine des fleurs. Comme ne tarderait pas à le démontrer son parcours accidenté de jeune fille, de femme, de mère puis de veuve, Rose appartenait à la version la plus résistante de l’arbuste dont elle porte le nom.

OTD 1998: nearly simultaneous bombs blew up at US embassies in Nairobi, Kenya & Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. 224 people were killed, including a CIA officer, & more than 4,500 people were wounded.

10:30AM Nairobi, Kenya: first truck, loaded w 2,000 pounds of TNT, forced its way to back entrance of embassy. Despite a grenade & firearms attack, Kenyan guards & @USMC prevented access to building where it would have exploded in US Embassy basement.
Instead, terrorist detonated the bomb at a gate to the embassy. Explosion reduced much of the interior of the embassy to rubble. The secondary fragmentation from flying glass, internal concrete block walls, furniture, & fixtures caused most of the embassy casualties.
Today, we held our annual Memorial Ceremony to remember, honor, & celebrate the courageous CIA officers who died in the line of duty for their country.
