The stories of their lives are brief, for all of them were young. And yet, behind the dates and the names of places there shines the record of courage and sacrifice, of love, and of a devotion to duty that transcends all thought of safety or of gain or of selfish ambition. These are the names of Jf those we love. these are the stories of those who once walked with us and sang our songs and shared our common hope. These are the faces of our loved ones and good comrades, of sons and husbands. There is no tribute equal to their sacrifice; there is no word of praise worthy of their deeds. In gratitude and love these pages are assembled, that here, in one place, their names may be forever enshrined by the University of Maine. They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. A t the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. —Laurence Binyon e"lo--ial Z " f«osinii, ° f'd '"■* h e g ' “° '‘ y p. etnS *en t aU i/*ln& ~ . ‘ age r° th e f r e t“t e d °:th e itfii '‘tv. ne*ate~,°n n T ^ S s r> *es Se. * °°^ of ol. 0 / C o d f ° t 28 ts th Q ° t < i °f thT0^ to a to r t/lG' ' " ‘s ~ ”e 6 t!l,rd / 3 n. ge e»sh ^70i andtL nrined • ^ Of atf.

    Primary Source Document with Questions (DBQs) “ THE DECISION TO USE THE ATOMIC BOMB” (FEBRUARY 1947) By Henry Lewis Stimson Introduction The dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima (August 6, 1945) and Nagasaki (August 9, 1945) remains among the most controversial events in modern history. Historians have actively debated whether the bombings were necessary, what effect they had on bringing the war in the Pacific to an expeditious end, and what other options were available to the United States. These very same questions were also contentious at the time, as American policymakers struggled with how to use a phenomenally powerful new technology and what the long-term impact of atomic weaponry might be, not just on the Japanese, but on domestic politics, America’s international relations, and the budding Cold War with the Soviet Union. In retrospect, it is clear that the reasons for dropping the atomic bombs on Japan, just like the later impact of nuclear technology on world politics, were complex and intertwined with a variety of issues that went far beyond the simple goal of bringing World War II to a rapid close. Former Secretary of War Henry Lewis Stimson’s article “The Decision to Use the Bomb” appeared in Harper’s Magazine in February 1947. The piece was intended as a response to mounting public criticism of the decision to use atomic weapons against Japan, including from highly respected public figures such as Albert Einstein.

This event is the partitioning of British India, something that may well lead to its departure from the British Commonwealth of nations. When Lord Mountbatten succeeded Lord Wavell as the Viceroy of India in late February, he was aware that the tasks that he faced in that office would be completely different from the problems that had occupied his lengthy chain of predecessors since the creation of the office of Viceroy by Lord Canning in 1858.

  • Government Records Concerning the Roswell Crash
    ...... ·- .. · United States General Accounting Office GAO· Washington, D.C. 20548 National Security and International Affairs Division B-262046 July 28, 1995 The Honorable Steven H. Schiff House of Representatives Dear Mr. Schiff: On July 8, 1947, the Roswell Anny Air Field (RAAF) public information office in Roswell, New Mexico, reported the crash and recovery of a "flying disc." Army Air Forces personnel from the RM.F's 509th Bomb Group were credited with the recovery. The following day, the press reported that the Commanding General of the U.S. Eighth Air Force, Fort Worth, Texas, announced that RAAF personnel had recovered a crashed radar-tracking (weather) balloon, not a "flying disc." After nearly 50 years, speculation continues on what crashed at Roswell. Some observers believe that the object was of extraterrestrial origin. In the July 1994 Report of Air Force Research Regarding the Roswell Incident, the Air Force did not dispute that something happened near Roswell, but reported that the most likely source of the wreckage was from a balloon-launched classified government project designed to determine the state of Soviet nuclear weapons research. The debate on what crashed at Roswell continues. Concerned that the Department of Defense (DOD) may not have provided you with all available infonnation on the crash, you asked us to determine the requirements for reporting air accidents similar to the crash near Roswell and identify any government records concerning the Roswell crash. We conducted an extensive search for government records related to the crash near Roswell. We examined a wide range of classified and unclassified documents dating from July 1947 through the 1950s.
