I wrote down that one ship leaves from New York and one ship leaves from San Francisco on the first of every month at 12:00 P.M. I also wrote down that each ship takes exactly six months to reach its final destination. I decided to assume that there are no problems with the weather, and that each ship travels the same distance per month. I also assumed that time zones don’t affect the problem and that my ship is the first one to go out in a very long time. I started out this POW by drawing a diagram that looked like a curve.
You can hear the passengers taking the plane back while they were on the phone with their families. Following the 9/11 attacks President George W. Bush was taken to Omaha to Offutt air force base.

It made no sense to send him all the way back, so they simply assigned him to a combat unit headed for Hawaii and future action in the Pacific. “While in Hawaii, during the spring of 1943, his age was discovered, but he managed to talk his way out of discharge. He was re-assigned to drive a truck at the base depot for the next eighteen months.”(Pace Pg.2) As time passed, Lucas became more and more frustrated, clearly seeing the end of the war in sight. The now sixteen year old Marine, went AWOL from this base as well and “on January 9, 1945, he climbed aboard a shuttle boat that was taking Marines returning from liberty back to their ships in the harbor. He boarded the USS Deuel, a troop ship, and became a stowaway.”(Pace
Specialist Lockwood said when he goes to the strip club, he makes up an identity for himself and enjoys the easy talk. For example, he names himself Eric Bible and negotiates with strippers by teasing them with a one-hundred dollar bill. He asks them, "why should I invest my money on you and not Barbie (the blonde stripper sliding down the pole)". He claims that seventy-five percent of the time, after a little charm and chitchat his method works. Before the night ends he gets some lap dances by the stripper that

Events will be directed as precise as possible. American marines had finally moved to Europe under General Barnett’s direction on June 14, 1917, but were scattered across France to do menial tasks until they were moved to the front on March, 1918. Marines sat in trenches for 53 days waiting for further orders and suffered 872 casualties from regular artillery fire, although there was no other activity until in May. German commander Ludendorff started an offensive strike that made the closest distance
General Patton moved his army of 250,000 soldiers from France in only a few days to stop the German advancement. When Brig. Gen. Anthony C. McAuliffe was asked to surrender, he replied “nuts” (Bulge). American and British troops were in the process of getting rid of the bulge by late December. With the U.S. First Army attacking from the north and General George Patton's Third Army from the south, the German began to retreat from the bulge on January 8, 1945 (See appendix 2 &3).
When that didn’t work and it became clear that they were not going to disperse, at around 12:24 pm 77 National Guard members fired 67 rounds from M1 Garand rifles into the croud killing 4 and wounding 9 others, thus violently ending the protests. What’s even worse is that two of the students killed had not even been involved in the protest they were just walking to class and had gotten caught in the crossfire. This had a major impact on other campuses and nation wide. It caused an estimated 450 other campuses to stop protesting worldwide and it also got world wide press, their was even a song written about it. it was a tragic event that happened to people who only stand up against what they believed was wrong and tried to make a
