1944 - During the Siege of Bastogne, in the Battle of the Bulge: WWII. The 101st Airborne Division and part of the 10th Armored Division were encircled by German forces within the bulge. The German commander besieging the town demanded that the Americans surrender or face annihilation
U.S. Major General Anthony McAuliffe prepared a typed reply that read simply:
To the German Commander: "Nuts!"
From the American Commander.
The Americans who delivered the message explained to the perplexed Germans that the one-word reply was translatable as "Go to Hell!"
America’s WWII commanders were great...McCauliffe forever immortalized himself, and the 101st Airborne did likewise in their brilliant defensive battle at Bastogne.
1775 - A Continental naval fleet was organized in the rebellious American colonies under the command of Ezek Hopkins.
1785 - The American Continental Navy fleet was organized, consisting of two frigates, two brigs and three schooners. Sailors were paid eight dollars a month.
Don’t get these day confused with the birthday of the U.S. Navy, which is October 13.
1864 - Union General William T. Sherman sent President Abraham Lincoln this message - "I beg to present you as a Christmas present the city of Savannah with 150 guns and plenty of ammunition": U.S. Civil War.
A Christmas present indeed...Grant definitely picked the right man when he let Sherman loose on the South, and this terrible war was shortly entering its last year as a result of such fighting men.
1989 - Romanian President Nicolae Ceausescu, last of Eastern Europe's hard line Communist rulers, was toppled from power in a popular uprising.
Nikki was replaced by some of his ‘less aggressive’ Communist buddies, but communism was definitely on its way out in Romania.
Keep an eye out for Nikki in a few days...His execution is soon to follow.
1997 - Actress Hunter Tylo, whose pregnancy got her fired from TV's 'Melrose Place,' was awarded $4.9 million by jurors who agreed she was wrongfully terminated.
Her job was to portray a 'Tylo-Ho,’ and in her pregnant state she was unable to perform this function. She should have been fired for not being able to do her job.
Decisions like this are ridiculous, but the Liberal insaniacs are doing everything they can to create judicial anarchy, and to poison business.
