Commemorating 63 years of the largest weapon the
United States has ever tested, the March 1, 1954 Bravo Hydrogen Bomb on Bikini Atoll. At 15 megatons, the blast vaporized 3 islands and was 1,000 times the magnitude of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear weapons dropped on Japan in World War II.

The fallout from this weapon has forever devestated the lives and the lands of the people of the Northern Marshall Islands.

2017 marks 71 years that the people of Bikini Atoll have lived in exile away from their beloved homeland.

Check out the New York 1939 World's Fair patch on that Dodgers' uniform. I'd not seen that, before!

This one is actually controversial according to wiki..
quote:

the soldier in the picture was not Greasley, stating that the picture is held by the US National Archives and the caption details show it was taken in Minsk (in Belarus) in mid-1941, that it was taken by a photographer for a propaganda film and identifies the soldier as Soviet from his cap, and that the officers in the picture are the same officers who appear in the film with Himmler.



quote:

POW Horace Greasley defiantly confronts Heinrich Himmler during an inspection of the camp he was confined in. Greasley also famously escaped from the camp and snuck back in more than 200 times to meet in secret with a local German girl he had fallen in love with.

Roosevelt was know as a playboy. I ain't hating, but that knife in his belt was from tiffanys. He was not the rugged man we think of.

I guess those are nose guards hanging around their necks? Can’t say that I’ve seen those before.
