Wish more people knew that story.
It was like the charge of the light brigade on the water.

Nice add.
If their balls were smaller, they might have had enough fuel to land in friendly territory.

The Battle of the Monongahela where young aide de campe, in service to the King of England, George Washington, charged solo to save the lives of his fellow Virginians.
During the Battle of the Monongahela in 1755, George Washington faced intense combat against French and Indian forces. Despite being fired upon multiple times, with visable musket holes in his uniform and hat, he emerged unscathed. This remarkable survival led to a belief among some Native American warriors that he was under divine protection. This pivotal moment in young Washington's life propelled him to greatness in maturing to become this nation's first president.

I’ll throw in a sports moment
“Bernard is losing some ground! HERE COMES LEZAK! Unbelievable at the end, the US HAS DONE IT!”
Younger people who don’t remember may not realize how badass that was. With all the drama leading up with the French talking shite and Phelps chasing golds. That moment was incredible and Dan Hicks absolutely nailed that call. Hard to believe it was 18 years ago

And Desmond Doss, who was a United States Army corporal and a Medal of Honor recipient known for his heroic actions as a combat medic during World War II, particularly in the Battle of Okinawa, where he saved approximately 75 soldiers without carrying a weapon due to his religious beliefs. His life and bravery were depicted in the Oscar-winning film "Hacksaw Ridge."

Bull Simon’s…Son Tay raid…if there’s been a leak…
There was. The American prisoners were removed from Son Tay shortly before the raid. There was a small Russian contingent nearby (probably intelligence and special forces) who as Simons put it “would have been hosed as they came out their door” if they’d chosen to do so. I’ve always wanted to know who told the enemy in advance of the raid.

The time he fricked up Robin Ventura was a badass moment in its own right.

HMS Birkenhead, also referred to as HM Troopship Birkenhead or Steam Frigate Birkenhead,[3] was one of the first iron-hulled ships built for the Royal Navy.[4] She was designed as a steam frigate, but was converted to a troopship before being commissioned.[1]
While transporting troops and a few civilians to Algoa Bay, the Birkenhead was wrecked on 26 February 1852 at Danger Point near Gansbaai, 87 miles (140 km) from Cape Town in the Cape Colony. There were insufficient serviceable lifeboats for all the passengers, and the soldiers famously stood in ranks on board, allowing the women and children to board the boats safely and escape the sinking.
Only 193 of the estimated 643 people on board survived, and the soldiers' chivalry was one of the earliest known instances of the unofficial "women and children first" protocol when abandoning ship. The "Birkenhead drill" of Rudyard Kipling's poem came to describe courage in the face of hopeless circumstances.

I thought they were moved because the well dried up.

Ted Williams
quote:
Before the final two games on September 28, a doubleheader against the Philadelphia Athletics, he was batting .39955, which would have been officially rounded up to .400. Red Sox manager Joe Cronin offered him the chance to sit out the final day, but he declined. "If I'm going to be a .400 hitter", he said at the time, "I want more than my toenails on the line." Williams went 6-for-8 on the day, finishing the season at .406. (Sacrifice flies were counted as at-bats in 1941; under today's rules, Williams would have hit between .411 and .419, based on contemporaneous game accounts.)
