Extractions: American Forces Press Service WASHINGTON, Sept. 6, 2003 The U.S. Marine Corps, indeed the entire country, lost an honest-to-goodness American hero Sept. 3. Retired Gen. Raymond Davis , who earned the Medal of Honor in the Korean War , died in Conyers, Ga., at the age of 88. Davis was a hero by anybody's definition. He was the 28- year-old commander of the 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, when Chinese forces attacked at the Chosin Reservoir on Nov. 27, 1950, Thanksgiving Day. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for personally leading his men over treacherous frozen terrain to rescue a rifle company under intense enemy fire. According to his Medal of Honor citation, Davis "spearheaded his unit in a fierce attack up the steep, ice- covered slopes in the face of withering fire and, personally leading the assault groups in a hand-to-hand encounter, drove the hostile troops from their positions."
Extractions: GUATEMALA CITY (CNN) Facing anti-U.S. protests over deportations, President Clinton admitted Wednesday to Guatemalans that U.S. support for "widespread repression" in their bloody 36-year civil war was a mistake. "For the United States, it is important that I state clearly that the support for military forces or intelligence units which engaged in violent and widespread repression ... was wrong," Clinton said as he began a round-table discussion on Guatemala's search for peace. "The United States must not repeat that mistake. We must and we will instead continue to support the peace and reconciliation process in Guatemala," he said on the third day of a Central American tour.

Our Korean War POW/MIA's - CPT James Van Fleet Jr. & Crew (1 Of 4) The inhabitant observed an american corpse dressed in an OD for their Treatment ofPrisoners of War. Source felt 6004th AISS, EEI File 2, 2, gen File Vol 4 http://members.tripod.com/~msg_fisher/fleet-3.html
Extractions: CPT James A. Van Fleet Jr. was an Air Force pilot, assigned to the 13th Bomb Sqaudron, Kunsan Korea, in mid-March 1952. His B-26 bomber (SN 44-34300) was lost over Korea on April 4, 1952, on what was his fourth and last combat mission. His navigator was CPT John A. McAllaster, also of the 13th, and his gunner was SGT Ralph L. Phelps (on loan from the 90th Bomb Squadron). The dates are often conflicted in the known, available records. On March 31, 1954, the United States government made a presumptive finding of death in the cases of all three crewmembers, and changed their status to "died while missing, body not recovered", effective April 4, 1952. What little else is known about the fate James Jr. and his crew members raises many disturbing questions about the issue of "unreturned" Korean War POW/MIA's!

Extractions: Pre Revolutionary Days - 1600s During King Philip's War in 1675 women leaders of Native American tribes helped the colonists defend their settlements. One was Awashonka, squaw sachem of the Saconnet in Rhode Island. In 1697 a Massachusetts settler, Hannah Duston, from the town of Haverhill, was captured by Abnaki Indians who were fighting for Canada. After an arduous hundred mile trek, while resting on an island in New Hampshire, Hannah decided that she was not going to be tortured or killed in Canada. With the help of a young boy who had been captured earlier, and Mary Neff who had been captured with her, she stole the Indians tomahawks and in a daring nighttime attack the three prisoners managed to kill ten of their captors. They stole a canoe, scuttled the rest, and escaped taking with them the scalps of their victims as proof of their story. The first monument, commemorating the fame of a woman, to be erected in the United States was one to Hannah Duston, dedicated on June 1, 1861, in Haverhill The Revolutionary War - 1700s In October of 1778 Deborah Samson of Plymouth Massachusetts disguised herself as a young man and presented herself to the American army as a willing volunter to oppose the common enemy. She enlisted for the whole term of the war as Robert Shirtliffe and served in the company of Captain Nathan Thayer of Medway, Massachusetts. For three years she served in various duties and was wounded twice - the first time by a sword cut on the side of the head and four months later she was shot through the shoulder. Her sexual identity went undetected until she came down with a brain fever, then prevalent among the soldiers. Later a bill was passed granting her a pension, in addition to certain lands, which she was to receive as an acknowledgment for her services to the country in a military capacity as a Revolutionary Soldier
Chalmette Battlefield and the Battle of New Orleans in the War of 1812. Seeing Gibbs assault falter nearthe cypress swamp, gen. wounded, shot in the spine by an american rifleman http://www.nps.gov/jela/Chalmette Battlefield.htm
Extractions: Chalmette Battlefield and National Cemetery Chalmette, Louisiana Description Six miles southeast of New Orleans is the Chalmette Battlefield, which preserves the site of the January 8, 1815, Battle of New Orleans, a decisive American victory over the British at the end of the War of 1812. Facilities include a tour road, visitor center, and the Malus-Beauregard House (c.1833). Adjacent is the Chalmette National Cemetery. Located on St. Bernard Highway in Chalmette. The Battlefield is open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The Battle of New Orleans lasted less than two hours, with the major fighting confined to about 30 minutes. British casualties exceeded 2,000; the Americans reported only 13. On January 18 the British retreated to Lake Borgne, ending the Louisiana campaign and ensuring the United States of a bright future for the lower Mississippi Valley. Chalmette Monument The cornerstone of this shaft honoring the American victory at New Orleans was laid in January 1840, within days after Andrew Jackson visited the field on the 25th anniversary of the battle. Not until 1855, however, did the State of Louisiana begin actual construction. The monument was completed in 1908, a year after it was ceded to the United States. Malus-Beauregard House This beautiful example of French-Louisiana architecture was built some 18 years after the Battle of New Orleans and is named for its last private owner, Judge René Beauregard. Never associated with a plantation, the house served as a country residence for a succession of wealthy people in the 19th century.

Braxton Bragg, Confederate General, Commander, Army Of Tennessee General by the Confederate States of american in 1861 the most controversial figuresin the War of Southern For more information please see our Copyright policy. http://ngeorgia.com/people/braggb.html
Extractions: Courtesy, Valentine Museum Perhaps the most controversial of all ranking Confederate officers, this North Carolina native was a writer, traveler, respected artillery commander and plantation owner prior to the Civil War. Many of his actions during major Western Theater battles in which he fought are still widely debated. After graduating from West Point Braxton Bragg entered the army as a second lieutenant on July 1, 1837. He fought in the Seminole Wars, 1837-1841 and served under Zachary Taylor during the Mexican-American War. At Monterey, Captain Bragg distinguished himself during bitter street fighting and in an attack on the cathedral and main plaza, but it was during the battle of Buena Vista that his "prompt and fearless conduct" saved the Americans from defeat. He is credited with repulsing a frontal attack through effective use of his artillery, then holding off an attack on General Zachary Taylor's flank while Colonel Jefferson Davis organized a defense of the position. After his brave action he was twice the target of assassins. After a brief retirement in the late 1850's, Bragg returned to serve in the Louisiana militia until he was appointed Brigadier General by the Confederate States of American in 1861. He was promoted to full general shortly after the disastrous defeat of Rebel forces at
Encyclopedia Smithsonian: Star-Spangled Banner in victory at Yorktown in 1781, a second war with Great was ordered to attack US coastalareas, and gen. restoration in the National Museum of american History http://www.si.edu/resource/faq/nmah/starflag.htm
Extractions: A fter the American Revolution ended in victory at Yorktown in 1781, a second war with Great Britain broke out in 1812 over impressment, trade issues, and territorial expansion. The United States won early victories in the Atlantic and on Lake Erie, but by 1814 the British blockade of the American coast kept American merchant vessels and warships confined in their home ports. With the defeat of the French emperor Napoleon's armies in Europe, Great Britain turned its full attention to ending U.S. forays into Canada. Admiral Alexander Cochrane, a British naval commander, was ordered to attack U.S. coastal areas, and Gen. Robert Ross prepared to capture towns along the East Coast to create diversions while British army forces attacked along the northern boundaries of the United States. Ross and Cochrane knew that an attack on Washington, D.C., would deal a severe blow to American pride. Late in the summer of 1814, British soldiers and sailors landed at Benedict, Maryland. They marched towards Washington, defeated an American force at the Battle of Bladensburg, and occupied the nation's capital on August 24. The British invaders burned the President's House and other public buildings before marching back to their ships. During their departure they arrested Dr. William Beanes of Upper Marlboro, said to be responsible for the arrest of British stragglers and deserters during the campaign, and imprisoned him on a British warship in the Chesapeake Bay near the mouth of the Potomac.

TACTICS OF DECEPTION Shades Of Truth In A Time Of War History his book The First Casualty, a classic history of war reporting. gen. Douglas MacArthur,the flamboyant commander of american forces in Southwest Asia during http://weber.ucsd.edu/~ecomisso/tactics_of_deception_shades_of_t.htm
Extractions: No one has accused Rumsfeld of misleading the press or misrepresenting events on the ground. But post-mortems on previous American wars routinely found that the government exaggerated its successes and minimized its setbacks in its public presentations; indeed the tendency to embroider has been documented back to the Civil War. At moments of national crisis, officials in Washington have on occasion made statements they knew were flat-out untruethe way President Eisenhower did in describing the U-2 spy plane shot down over the Soviet Union in 1960 as a weather research plane. President Nixon hid a massive bombing campaign in Cambodia for more than a year, even falsifying reports sent to the Senate. More often, officials in wartime have given the press and public a partial picture meant to portray events in the best possible light, analysts say. Over time, that instinct has produced inflated accounts of enemy soldiers killed in Vietnam, Iraqi Scud missiles intercepted in the Persian Gulf War and Serbian tanks destroyed in Kosovo.
