US Army: Special Forces History |
|
Today, August 23rd, marks the 54th anniversary of one of the darkest days in Special Forces history to date. In the early morning hours of August 23, 1968, the Da Nang MACVSOG camp known as FOB4 was attacked by approximately 167 soldiers from the combined units of the 22nd VC Sapper Battalion and members from the 23rd NVA Regiment operating in the local area. They managed to infiltrate from the seaside (East) and from the Village side (South) at the base of Marble Mountain. They met at the Vietnamese mess hall to receive their final instructions from the cook, who was a VC colonel.
By design or luck, RT-Rattler, was on top of Marble Mountain. SFCs Cecil Ames and Larry Trimble were monitoring the observation post. At approximately 0215, an enemy recoilless rifle destroyed the adjoining Marine outpost known as Little Marble. That was the signal for the attack.
In groups of two's, the enemy roamed at will throughout the camp, throwing satchel charges and grenades into the various barracks, killing many Americans as they slept. They succeeded in blowing up the senior NCO barracks, various recon hooches, and the old TOC causing the first of many American casualties. An attempt to blow up the new concrete TOC was prevented by a lone communications sergeant. The main supply depot was blown up when the fire reached the LP canisters. Now, it was raining 82mm mortar fire from an unknown position. Confusion, chaos, and the unseen enemy ruled the first part of the night. A group of VC/NVA attempted to blow up the motor pool but were stopped in their tracks by a Filipino civilian and motor pool sergeant.
On top of Marble Mountain, SFC Trimble destroyed the two mortar positions and repelled two major ground assaults, thus preventing the enemy from achieving the high ground. Had the enemy taken the high ground, the casualties at the camp would have been higher. SFC Trimble stayed at his post for another two days monitoring and repelling minor attacks on the mountain.
It was now for the young NCOs and Officers, independently of each other, to take back the camp. Documented and undocumented feats of leadership and bravery were the common bond of the American Warriors who now flexed their steel against the enemy.
Now, as the morning sun rose over the eastern sky, we took count of the devastation. The number of burnt buildings, both friendly and enemy bodies throughout the camp, and the distinct smell of death permeated the camp.
In total, we lost 16 American KIA, 40 Vietnamese KIA, and a combined total of 74 WIA. There were drag marks and blood trails throughout the camp. At first count, there were 38 enemies KIA, later we found 3 more in the afternoon. A few days later, after the bodies had percolated a bit, they found another 7 hastily buried by the south fence. The Marines report 21 freshly dug graves near the Marble Mountain village bringing a total of approximately 65 NVA/VC killed that night. We have no way of confirming this total as the enemy would fudge their numbers. After the war, we found NVA documentation stating that they killed over 500 Americans in the August 23, 1968 battle.
Some time today, we, the survivors, will take pause and toast our fallen Brothers - Meet you at the rally point. - Gene Pugh, USA, RT-Asp.

Missing in Action & Buried Unknowns |
|
There are still thousands classified as Missing in Action or as Buried Unknowns. In our partnership with the MIA Recovery Network we have established data on our websites regarding MIAs.
The quest to account for those of our nation's Missing in Action is one of the most noble of endeavors. There are also a large number of recovered remains that are buried in ABMC cemeteries where the identity is unknown. These are known as X-Files.
The recovery of MIAs pose a number of challenges. For example, Navy or Merchant Marine ships that were sunk are unrecoverable and thus ship manifests are the primary and often only source of names for those that have perished but are still accounted.
Each conflict has had its own challenges. At the end of World War II the military had established more than 360 temporary cemeteries, but the dead were being found continually in farm fields, forests, small church cemeteries, isolated graves and the shores of combat zones. These dead were collected and the remains consolidated into the fourteen permanent European, Mediterranean, and North African Cemeteries maintained by the American Battle Monuments Commission along with two permanent cemeteries in the Philippines and Hawaii.
Monetary donations are needed and very welcomed to support these efforts to create case files.
Please consider a DONATION today. Thank You.
X-0022 Rhone American Military Cemetery
Each buried unknown of the WWII casualties is a mystery, a “cold case”. In some of these cases there exists a clue, a tantalizing amount of information that may provide an identification. X-0022 is one of those. The best chance for identification of these remains may be the dental records, as the dental chart provides significant evidence of restoration. The remains were otherwise badly fragmented and burned.
Another clue was that a college ring, inscribed “Manhattan College” (New York) and engraved inside was “F.T. Hughes B.S. 1943.” We contacted Manhattan College but never received a response. There is also a notation that the investigation pointed toward the loss as possibly being related to the sinking of navy Landing Ship 282, lost in the invasion of southern France. Another interesting and confusing entry shows that these remains were buried next to those of a Navy Ensign, named Hughes but no first name is provided. We searched the list of names of those MIA in American Military Cemeteries, but strangely, no burial report is found for an F.T. Hughes. Another one of the more than 75,000 mysteries of the missing in action.

"Labor Day and the Arsenal of Democracy"

"Labor Day and the Arsenal of Democracy"
By Thomas Lamlein
Coupled with the skill and courage of America’s fighting men, the power of American industry propelled the USA to victory in World War II. As we look forward to Labor Day in 2022, it is important to remember the tremendous role that American labor played eighty years ago.
Using motivational tactics first explored during World War I, the US Government wisely equated the role of the war worker with that of the war fighter. Since America’s soldiers, sailors, and airmen could not rest until the Axis was defeated, it was easy to make the case that America’s workers could not and should not take a breather either.
Industrial motivational posters used statement of fact, highlighted our common cause, challenged the workers’ dedication and professionalism, tugged on heart strings, and sometimes outright shamed those who were war-work “shirkers”.
A few years ago, I presented this information to a university design/marketing class. One young lady asked me “Did it work?” I told her that the short answer was yes, and that we won a war that we absolutely had to win. As for the effectiveness of the war work motivational campaign, that worked too. I was able to share with this class a very personal story my father had told me. My dad was a combat infantryman, serving from Normandy until the end of the war in Germany.
Dad was a grisly old sergeant, with a work ethic and colorful language that was second-to-none. His assessment of America’s war workers, particularly the women, was simple. “They were our secret weapon. They voluntarily went into the factories, and the mills, and the railroads, anywhere they were needed. They did the job, and they did it as well as any man could do. The Krauts and the Japs didn’t realize they were fighting all Americans, all day, and every day. That’s how we won.”
The really nice thing was that when my dad spoke those words, my mother was standing nearby. Mom and her sister had been their own version of Rosie the Riveter, working on gun turrets destined for B-24 Liberator bombers. Mom smiled and went back to making an apple pie. She knew how to take a compliment, and she also knew the truth.
Pretty soon it will be Labor Day. The holiday will come and go, and some of us will remember the crucial battle fought by American workers during WWII, unsung and without medals. In the end, liberty is its own reward, and the finest bonus a worker can receive.

Rescued History & Museum Quality |
|
We rescue a lot of military artifacts; items destined for the trash heap. From torn papers and faded ribbons to moth damaged uniforms decades pass and the condition of items deteriorate. These artifacts still have a story to tell.
Many museums only want items in pristine condition, we say differently. Some so called museums only want materials from a well known commander written up in history books or the fighter ace or a man who would fly to the moon or a Medal of Honor recipient.
While we have artifacts such as these we also have the items of the draftee who answered their nation's call and served their tour and then went home. Some were not so fortunate. In our mission of "Saving Military History One Soldier at a Time" it is about all who have worn the cloth of our nation's military. Artifacts help us bring stories to life no matter their condition.
We accept donations of artifacts in ALL CONDITIONS.

This 15th Air Force tunic was recently donated to us by a person, so technically they rescued it. The jacket was left at a fast food restaurant many years ago and the manager kept it hoping the owner would return. Alas, that never happened. Instead of disposing of it, he donated it to us. There happens to be a laundry number in it and we are hopeful that we may be able to determine the serviceman and thus SAVE some more history! Stay Tuned. |

---- What is Liberty ? ----
"definition. the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life, behavior, or political views."
Merriam-Webster defines it as " the power to do as one pleases, the freedom from physical restraint and freedom from arbitrary or despotic control.
---- So what is a Son of Liberty? ----
In our context and beginning these were the men and women in America who wanted the freedom from the King of England. They desired a right of self-determination for their lives. They fought for this liberty and codified it in the Constitution of a new country. To keep this liberty they created a military to ward off the any would-be belligerent. Since the War of Independence until and including the present day the men and women who have worn the cloth of our nation's military are its Sons of Liberty. They have fought enemies in other nations, they have fought each other and they have stood as sentinels of the watch.
We celebrate the service of these individuals, we tell the historical story of these selfless patriots.
---- The Sons of Liberty Museum ----
Over a decade ago we chose a name for this organization and our sister the Army Air Corps Library and Museum. We believe these names accurately describe these men and women who serve. We will not change any name to satisfy a radical viewpoint or computer algorithm. We don't allow for any revisionist history, we tell the factual stories.
We are Saving Military History One Soldier at a Time.

Most aircraft of World War II had pictures of sexy girls, tributes to sweethearts, songs and home. The planes were fondly referred to in a feminine manor. That was not the case with this B-17 tail number 42-25233. He was Rigor Mortis.
This is the story of Rigor Mortis and his men who flew over 120 missions from North Africa and Italy in 1943 and 1944.

Many of the photos and illustrations in this book, some of them in color, are strong enough to be displayed in full page format. The images deliver the gritty details of USAAF armaments’ use down to their nuts and rivets, and the high-velocity rounds they fired. This is a unique photo-study, with many of the photos never-before published.
U.S.A.A.F. Aircraft Weapons of WWII
This book focuses on the war-winning weaponry of the United States Army Air Forces during World War II. With 144 pages containing more than 250 photos it offers stunning visual details of the machine guns, cannons, bombs, and rockets carried into battle by USAAF bombers, fighters, and attack aircraft.Many of the photos and illustrations in this book, some of them in color, are strong enough to be displayed in full page format. The images deliver the gritty details of USAAF armaments’ use down to their nuts and rivets, and the high-velocity rounds they fired. This is the first photo-history of its kind, with many of the photos never-before published.
Combat conditions dictated that many aircraft were adapted into roles for which they were not designed. As necessity is the mother of invention, aircraft were modified in both their roles and their armament. B-25s became ground attackers, A-20s became night fighters, and every wartime USAAF fighter was adapted to carry bombs.

"Courtesies of the Heart"
In the early morning hours of September 11, 1944, US Army Air Forces P-51 pilot Lt. William Lewis climbed into an overcast sky with the 55th Fighter Group on a mission escorting bombers. He had already flown more than 100 hours of combat over Europe. Over the channel he joined a vast fleet of more than 1,000 airplanes including the B-17’s of the 100th Bomb Group bound for Germany. This day’s combat would be one of the largest aerial engagements of the war, conducted at the very edge of operational range. By the next day, all of the aircraft were accounted for or known to be lost. Among the missing was Bill Lewis, who would remain an MIA for almost sixty years.
A chance discussion in a Texas home on New Years Eve 2001 regarding the movie “Saving Private Ryan”, a renovated Czech schoolhouse in the village of Kovarska, experts from the US Army in Hawaii, and Czech volunteers extended and fulfilled the Courtesy of the Heart begun by a gracious German citizen in September 1944 in the Thuringer Wald of Germany.
This is the fascinating story of how a Tulsa World War II pilot came home on Memorial Day 2004, only a few months short of sixty years from the time he flew his last mission. The book began a new role for the author, whose retirement has since become centered around the families of the missing in action of World War II and the search for their remains, and the origin of a not for profit company called MIA Recovery Network and a second book slated to be released by years-end 2021, called “Known But to God: America’s Twentieth Century Wars and the Search for the Missing”.

Attention Website Owners &
Veteran Associations
Many WWII veterans organizations have shut. Many these organizations had developed some type of website, some with enormous amounts of data and history. Sadly, many had/have not made provisions for their website to be continued and thus when the bill stops being paid, the website disappears and all the work and information is lost. We want to help and we need you to help us. If you know of a disbanding group, please have them get in contact with us; we would like to bring their website and information under our wing. If they want to continue to maintain it we can give them access to continue that as well. One of our top goals for this and every year is to preserve this history not lose it!
Not a WW2 unit? That's ok. We are also interested in your history and want to help preserve it. Korea, Vietnam and all other conflicts.
If your organization has physical materials such as uniforms, patches, photos and other memorabilia do you have plans for them when you cease operations? We would be honored to be the custodian of your group's history.
