      One thing most people don't know is that his name was actually J. C. Owens. The J.C. stood for James Cleveland. When his family moved from the south to Cleveland when he was a young kid, the teacher asked what his name was on the 1st day of school and because of his strong southern accent J.C. sounded like Jesse.

      @jupprheinland4805 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I’d also say he pushed it by bringing it to a new level. The technology and idea wasn’t new but that doesn’t matter because he’s definitely one of the fathers of the machine gun and that makes him at least as important as the potential inventor of the technology.

    John 5:28-29
    Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice
    and come forth-those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.
    Am always reminded of the Scripture when I visit a cemetery! And in Christ: 1 Corinthians 15:55-57
    “O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?”
    The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.
    But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Sadly Admiral Scott was one of five US admirals to be killed in combat during WW2 (several others died in accidents). Admiral Isaac Kidd was killed on the Arizona at Pearl Harbor, Scott was killed by accidental friendly-fire from the USS San Francisco, Daniel Callaghan was killed a few minutes later when the San Francisco went up against the Japanese battleship Hiei, Henry Mullinnix was killed when the escort carrier Liscome Bay exploded after being torpedoed by a Japanese submarine (Pearl Harbor hero Dorie Miller also died in this incident), and Theodore Chandler who died of wounds suffered when his cruiser flagship, Louisville, was struck by kamikazes off Luzon.

    "During that engagement, Rear Admiral Norman Scott was killed in action when the bridge of his flagship, the light cruiser USS Atlanta (CL-51), was inadvertently struck by gunfire from Callaghan's flagship, the heavy cruiser USS San Francisco (CA-38), which joined with an enemy torpedo to fatally damage the Atlanta. For his "extraordinary heroism and conspicuous intrepidity" in the October and November battles, he posthumously received the Medal of Honor."

    • @roberthudson1959
      @roberthudson1959 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The American system of military decorations does not include an award for command competence that is anywhere near the Medal of Honor in prestige, which means that the criteria for the Medal of Honor are stretched for high-ranking officers. Scott's performance was outstanding, but not outstandingly brave.

When they slowed down to cross some railroad tracks, he slipped out into a ditch and got away and reported it to the police. They kidnapped him on M60 by Mendon Michigan. He escaped by Niles Michigan. Story was that they were traveling from Detroit to Chicago and their car broke down so they car jacked my grandfather's brother.

    I live about an hour south of Indianapolis. The rural area where I grew up had a general store until about 20 years ago. My grandparents lived in a house next to the store at the time Dillinger was active. My grandparents told the story that one day Dillinger drove up to the store in a car with two women. He went in and bought them hats. He didn't rob the store. I guess he was only after the big jobs and not a little country store. Love your videos. Love history and these are very good!

    You will find Franklin Pierce in the North Church Yard in Concord New Hampshire. And Dwight D. Eisenhower in Abilene Kansas. Been to both of those. Christ McCalliff is also buried in Concord New Hampshire 1st Teacher in Space who died in the Challenger disaster while her students watched. Very sad. She rests in a cemetery about three miles north of The North Church Yard If you are ever up that way.

    Ack!!! Should have told me you were coming! I'd have given you a grand tour of the place. I am a public safety officer in that neighborhood and I also am one of the findagrave contributors. I could have shown you the spot where you can get the graves of three Vice Presidents in one photo frame

    Great video as always. For me, one consistently awesome aspect of your videos is the attention to background music. The musical scoring of your videos is wonderful and powerful without being intrusive. Congratulations to whoever is responsible for the musical scoring! The music adds so much to the mood of each of your videos.

    You were correct of James Baskett was the first African American Male to win an Oscar....but after reading the memorial you said he was the first African American to win an Oscar.
    When Hattie McDaniel (June 10, 1893 - October 26, 1952) was an American actress, comedian and singer. For her role as Mammy in Gone with the Wind (1939), she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, becoming the first African American to win an Oscar.

      I'd have trouble saluting Ford due to his complicity to whitewash the JFK murder while on the Warren Commission, though only two had the integrity and courage to dissent. Everyone from LBJ to Ford attained the presidency cuz they were either complicit or knew the truth and kept their mouths shut.

    Cemeteries are the most beautiful and sad places. I always enjoy your videos of these memorials to our ancestors. I remember "Song of the South" when l was little. To me back then it was pretty much a cartoon no other agenda involved. But things sure have changed over the years.

  • @royevans5085
    @royevans5085 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    JD I also wish that disney would loosen up on the hold they have on SONG OF THE SOUTH. Also your filming of the cemeteries is great I like just looking at old grave yards wonder if they could talk what they would say knowing that someone famous like a president or as dangerous as a gangster buried in there with them. And with Dillinger he was in St.. paul , Minnesota in March 31, 1934. Late on the afternoon of Saturday, July 21, 1934, the madam of a brothel in Gary, Indiana, contacted one of the police officers with information.

    Not obsolete it came back first the USAF to be the onboard gatling in the A10 30mm variant, the F8 Crusader and the A7... (20mm variants on A7 and F8) Also used on pods on the F4 phantom. Also used by the US Army Air Defense Artillery in 20mm form... It was just so ahead of its time... we had to wait until we could realize its best potential. Play some A-10 video from YT and listen to the 30mm GAU natural Tank Killer... still in the USAF Inventory from about 1977 until now. I know I used to call it in when it first was used in Close Support.. Fort Campbell KY.
