that borders two neighbouring countries, Austria and Hungary. Bratislava and Vienna are the two closest capital cities in the world and are both places that I recommend you visit. You can reach either destination from travelling from the other by boat, plane or train; however, my preference is to depart from Vienna and travel to Bratislava by train. This is because you can visually see and appreciate the change from chic and modern architecture to the authentic and communist influenced…

December i was flying with B-18. General Buckner was our head man at the time. Sometimes we would get off course and land in Russia, I learned a lot. The first thing the army did was take everything we had, so I didn't take any pictures. In 1942 I got orders to bring B-26. I’d see submarines when we we’re patrolling at night. In June 3 1942, i was in an LB-30 and we had radar, we saw flashes of light in the distance. We thought our planes or ship from the US we’re coming. Tommy Mansfu was flying…

The roar of the one-hundred and forty miles per hour wind shook our house. All I could hear was the creaking and cracking of the walls and floorboards in our kitchen. “Grab anything you can!” my mom yells worriedly. The lights flickered on and off as the storm water slowly but steadily seeped into our small, single story home. I held the flashlight as my mom and dad quickly grabbed food and water out of the cabinet. “Eddy, keep the light on the cabinet!” Yells my dad. The murky water was up…

In the film and in real life, once the ramp fell, machine guns ripped through the waiting soldiers inside the boats (2). Further showing the horror these men felt when landing on the…

I miss my utopia. My beautiful home built from memories and laughter. I miss the feel of my car, packed to the brim with sleeping bags and footlockers, bumping down the winding gravel road, the anticipation coiling tight in my stomach. The air, eternally smelling of petrichor, heavy with the combined excitement of 200 children piling their way into one space, inadvertently becoming connected, becoming a family for the time we spend together. I miss my paradise, my escape. I miss my home. I miss…

We will be exploring the theme of “Childhood Dreams” through various mediums of art. Each piece in the exhibit has been chosen to represent the theme and provide a profound experience. Our personal childhood may be far from our mind, as many of us no longer have the time to think about it as we rush through our everyday lives. Perhaps some of us have forgotten our childhood dreams; or maybe some of us are living them, but have forgotten the thrill we once found in them. These works of art will…

Whenever there is a major jump in technology, a strategic revolution often matches it. The industrial revolution and steam power completely swung the strategic advantage from the offensive to the defensive, evidenced through the Civil War. In the context of the Navy, one of the latest technological innovations is aviation; it was being integrated into the Navy before World War I, but wasn’t advanced enough to be of any major strategic use until World War II. For this reason, the strategic and…
