Episode 84 of NO HOME FOR HEROES, hosted by retired Police Chief Rick Stone, is now live! Perhaps a case only Jack Webb from the old TV series "DRAGNET" could solve. An airplane designed to transport nuclear weapons crashes in Alaska in 1952, with 52 souls on board according to the official flight manifest. The crash site is lost for 60 sixty years and when finally found, the airplane has moved 14 miles and an ID card is found for someone who is NOT supposed to be on the airplane! This is just one of several strange twists to this latest of "History's Military Mysteries" on NO HOME FOR HEROES at
The National Museum for the United States Army has a new attraction: two shiny Adrian Awards. Winning the award for our client, Army Historical Foundation, is an honor. But the real reward is visiting the Museum. Read the case study for the full story.

Following the 1900 annexation of Hawaiʻi, the American military wasted no time constructing facilities on Oʻahu. The increased military presence during the 20th century brought more Black servicepeople, and therefore more Black visibility, to Hawaiʻi. Following the abolition of slavery, Congress created four military regiments comprised of Black troops, colloquially known as “Buffalo Soldiers”. During World War I, the 25th Infantry Regiment was assigned to Schofield Barracks and completed assignments throughout Hawaiʻi. This unit never saw combat but completed many projects in what is now Volcanoes National Park including assisting with the investigations of a lava lake at Halemaʻumaʻu and building the predecessor of the Mauna Loa Trail. At the outbreak of World War II, the War Department scheduled a labor battalion of 600 black servicepeople to unload ships. Prior to their arrival, a group including the City and County government of Honolulu, the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce, the Central Council of Hawaiian Organizations, and several unions moved to discourage the assignment of these soldiers to Hawaiʻi. Ultimately, approximately 30,000 black men and some women came to help the war effort as both soldiers and defense workers. During this time period, Army, Navy, and Marine Corps generally maintained segregated living quarters. One of these segregated stations was the Manana Barracks, located in Wahiawā Gulch in Pearl City, now on the National Register for Historic Places. It wasn’t until July 26, 1948, that President Harry Truman would sign an executive order ending racial segregation in the US Armed Forces, however, it took the Army 6 years to apply this throughout the ranks and in 1956, the last segregated units were integrated or disbanded. Other notable Black units stationed in Hawaiʻi are the 369th Antiaircraft Artillery Regiment, known as the Harlem Rattlers, and the 29th Chemical Decontamination Company. The 29th Regiment sadly lost over 300 soldiers during an explosion that occurred while loading ammunition and fuel onto ships at the West Loch peninsula of Pearl Harbor, known as the West Loch Disaster. Those lost during the West Loch Disaster are honored yearly on May 21st at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl.

My Uncle, Staff Sergeant William Barber, served in WWII in the European Theater and received the Silver Star for actions in Combat against German Forces. Sadly he died in 1966 in a Hotel Fire in Georgia while He was working in that area for a Pipeline Construction Company. May GOD Rest His Soul.
Please consider making t-shirts, patches, etc. with this beautiful logo. I would buy so much stuff from your store then!! P.S. the shop needs more descriptions, info, and photos of stuff you're selling!
Sorry, when I sent in my Charter Member check I also sent one for my wife who served longer than I did. the check was cashed, and she was ignored. An E-5 who served with the ASA deserved more than that, and both letters sent to you were equally ignored.

On this day 47 years ago , the Sikorsky S-70, also known in the Army as the UH-60 Black Hawk, conducted its first flight.
This workhorse of a helicopter can do it all! Utilized by the United States Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard and POTUS, this aircraft has the capability to conduct sling loads, air assaults, MEDEVACs, aerial firefighting, close air support, search and rescue, VIP transports and special operation missions. We want to thank all the UH-60 pilots, crew chiefs and avionics specialists of the past and present for their hard work, dedication and sacrifice for flying and making sure this aircraft stays operational.
Our brigade has flown this utility helicopter for almost 3 decades, so here are some photos from the past of 10th CAB's UH-60 aircrews putting in work.
Fly To Glory!
