The U.S. Army and Congressional Hearings During World War II

By: Jean Kavale | 2010-03-30 | Politics
The search for energy resources is a major topic in today's news. During WWII, having enough fuel for our troops was of special concern to the War Department and to two U.S. Army generals: Brehon B. Somervell, Chief of the Army Service Forces; and Howard L. Peckham, Director of the Fuels and Lubricants Division. This article contains excerpts from my book, "A Salute to Patriotism: The Life and Work of Major General Howard L. Peckham." It concerns the presence of these two generals at Congressional hearings in 1943, the year in which they requested more money for an oil project in Canada. read more

DE-179 Shakedown - a World War II Story

By: Lindsey Williams | 2010-04-04 | News and society
A few U.S. Navy "tin can" sailors gathered at Punta Gorda's Veterans Memorial Garden the other day to commemorate shipmates and a unique class of ships that helped win the World War II battle of North Atlantic. Having served briefly, and proudly, in the Destroyer Escort fleet, I attended the ceremony to share memories - convoys, German submarine encounters and shakedown cruise mishaps. World War II began in 1939 with the German invasion of Poland. None of the allies were prepared. France surrendered. Russia and Britain retreated. The United States geared up for war production to aid the beleaguered nations. read more

North Korea - Vacation in a Secret State (Part 2)

By: Dave Webb | 2010-04-20 | Destinations
The USS Pueblo was captured in 1968 in DPRK waters and had 83 crew members on board. Apparently the ship was in an awful state (no working guns, engine only partially working etc) and was taken by a DPRK force of only 7 troops.

Kim Il Sung has given our generals on-the-spot guidance and advised us to capture this vessel with the biggest force we can muster... which is why you 7 have been called in! Now get rowing and good luck!". read more
