The ATG was formed in 1942 in direct response to the invasion of several Aleutian Islands by Japan, and was composed of diverse indigenous peoples and the immigrant population of the territory of Alaska. <br><br>Their mission was to protect the coastline of Alaska and the American terminus of the Lend Lease air route to Russia on which warplanes were flown from Montana to Whitehorse Canada, from Whitehorse to Ladd Field (Fort Wainwright), and from Ladd Field to Nome, and then on to Russia to be used to fight the Third Reich. From this was born the "Eskimo Scouts" which was the start of the Alaska Army National Guard. <br><br>Under the leadership of Major “Muktuk” Marston, the Alaska Territorial Guard watched the northern shores of Alaska for enemy movement and were instrumental in the battle for Attu, a foreign battle fought on domestic soil. <br><br>Many members of the Territorial Guard served in Korea and Vietnam. During the Cold War, many Alaska Natives served in the Alaska Army National Guard as reconnaissance and infantry units throughout the remote Alaska villages. Many also served as professional cold weather survival instructors and trained members of the United States armed forces throughout the Cold War.<br><br>Made in America: Keep an eye out for the black and white Tripods around town, part of a popular lottery game called “The Nenana Ice Classic.” Every winter, since 1917, townspeople take one out onto the frozen Nenana River. When the Tripod moves, signifying spring thaw, a lucky winner gets $300,000 cash.

The ATG was formed in 1942 in direct response to the invasion of several Aleutian Islands by Japan, and was composed of diverse indigenous peoples and the immigrant population of the territory of Alaska. <br><br>Their mission was to protect the coastline of Alaska and the American terminus of the Lend Lease air route to Russia on which warplanes were flown from Montana to Whitehorse Canada, from Whitehorse to Ladd Field (Fort Wainwright), and from Ladd Field to Nome, and then on to Russia to be used to fight the Third Reich. From this was born the "Eskimo Scouts" which was the start of the Alaska Army National Guard. <br><br>Under the leadership of Major “Muktuk” Marston, the Alaska Territorial Guard watched the northern shores of Alaska for enemy movement and were instrumental in the battle for Attu, a foreign battle fought on domestic soil. <br><br>Many members of the Territorial Guard served in Korea and Vietnam. During the Cold War, many Alaska Natives served in the Alaska Army National Guard as reconnaissance and infantry units throughout the remote Alaska villages. Many also served as professional cold weather survival instructors and trained members of the United States armed forces throughout the Cold War.<br><br>Made in America: Keep an eye out for the black and white Tripods around town, part of a popular lottery game called “The Nenana Ice Classic.” Every winter, since 1917, townspeople take one out onto the frozen Nenana River. When the Tripod moves, signifying spring thaw, a lucky winner gets $300,000 cash. There’s also Mears Memorial Bridge. <br><br>Just north of this bridge is the golden spike completion point of the Alaskan Railroad (spike no longer there, of course). <br><br>Alaska by Motorcycle Travel Tips by Butch Rudowski: https://goo.gl/SFKu9m<br><br>Instructions: Take a photo similar to the one attached, along with rider flag and motorcycle.

In the beginning, the organization’s name was “The Medal of Honor Legion”. The membership was expanded during subsequent campaigns and wars to include recipients of the Army Distinguished Service Cross, the Navy Cross and the Air Force Cross., so the organization’s name evolved too.

In the beginning, the organization’s name was “The Medal of Honor Legion”. The membership was expanded during subsequent campaigns and wars to include recipients of the Army Distinguished Service Cross, the Navy Cross and the Air Force Cross., so the organization’s name evolved too.

The Lewes Station was built in 1884 and responded to 47 shipwrecks before sailing ships gave way to steamships and the USLSS was merged with the Revenue Cutters into the US Coast Guard in 1915. <br><br>The Lewes Station is best known for its work with two other Life Saving Stations in the Great Blizzard of 1888 when ships seeking refuge behind the Delaware Breakwater from 90 mph winds ran into the wall. Hundreds of sailors clung to frozen lines and icy masts while the station staff risked their own lives to save scores of sailors. <br><br>The boathouse contains two Monomoy surfboats, a life-car, beach cart and a Lyle Gun as well as a memorial plaque in front that remembers the brave men who risked their lives so sailors might live.

The Lewes Station was built in 1884 and responded to 47 shipwrecks before sailing ships gave way to steamships and the USLSS was merged with the Revenue Cutters into the US Coast Guard in 1915. <br><br>The Lewes Station is best known for its work with two other Life Saving Stations in the Great Blizzard of 1888 when ships seeking refuge behind the Delaware Breakwater from 90 mph winds ran into the wall. Hundreds of sailors clung to frozen lines and icy masts while the station staff risked their own lives to save scores of sailors. <br><br>The boathouse contains two Monomoy surfboats, a life-car, beach cart and a Lyle Gun as well as a memorial plaque in front that remembers the brave men who risked their lives so sailors might live. There are also displays on the history of the USLSS, rescue techniques and photo exhibits of the area stations and drills. <br><br>Made in America: Check out the Lightship Overfalls next to the Life Saving Station for another look at how our coasts were protected in war as well as peace. <br><br>Gilligan’s Waterfront, on the other side of the boat yard, is a good place to stop for a bite.

The Mach 2 capable F-105 conducted the majority of strike bombing missions during the early years of the Vietnam War; it was the only U.S. aircraft to have been removed from combat due to high loss rates. <br><br>Originally designed as a single-seat, nuclear-attack aircraft, a two-seat Wild Weasel version was later developed for the specialized Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) role against surface-to-air missile sites. The F-105 was nicknamed the "Thud" by its crews, most likely because of the sound the heavy plane made upon landing.<br><br>View the two F-105s from different angles, proudly displayed as if they are flying through the valley. Picnic pavilion, military vehicles and equipment displayed. Beach area, lake (fishing available), and amphitheater. Known for "The Picnic Spot with a Beach!"

John died when the truck exploded, but his heroism that day saved many soldiers’ lives.<br><br>Born on May 12, 1987, an only child, to Hans and Maggie Borbonus of Boise, Idaho, John was a member of the USA Ski Team and Snowboard Team. He graduated in 2005 from Boise High School as a fine athlete and student, and joined the Army on July 16, 2005 after which time he began training for the Special Forces as an Army Ranger. <br><br>John’s statue is the first bronze statue of an American soldier that lost his life in Iraq. It honors the patriotism and ideals of our American democracy and recognizes all who have suffered great loss for the cause of freedom.<br><br>Made in America: Going north on ID55 there’s Lake Cascade State Park and a small town named Roseberry with several interesting buildings, including the Valley County Museum and Roseberry General Store.<br><br>Further north, towards the beautiful town of McCall, you’ll find the Pancake House.

The names of 10 MIAs whose remains have been recovered have the date of identification recorded next to them.<br><br>The design was selected by an anonymous competition, and was unanimously awarded in 1988 to Helm Roberts, a Kentucky architect and Naval aviator during the period between the Korea and Vietnam conflicts.

I said, ‘Well, we’ve got to do better than that for the veterans,’” Linton recalls of the initial idea for the park.<br> <br>It’s a beautiful piece of work, now with 3,000 names etched into a wall of black granite. Names will be added as needed to honor those who continue to give the ultimate sacrifice for freedom and their country.<br><br>At the entrance, a granite wall reading “Freedom Is Not Free” sets the tone for a walk through documented history. At night, a single eternal flame flickers atop the statement in remembrance. A pathway lined with flags sets the tone for a row of statues depicting women in combat, a mother’s loss of her child….

The sculpture features twelve kinds of fruit signifying “strength of character, stamina, determination, and courage.” <br><br>If you have the time to visit the office, ask for Executive Director Patricia Varagas, she’d love to meet Tour of Honor riders!<br><br>Made in America: The popular Hometown Diner is an American Diner at its best. https://goo.gl/UPDcUF <br><br>Also in town is the Sandwich Master Plus for decadent excess, where you can choose between 50 sandwiches on the regular menu, or 30 on the Sandwiches Gone Mad menu. https://goo.gl/jyTNeH<br><br>Instructions: Take a photo similar to the one attached, along with rider flag and motorcycle.

This horrific situation is exactly what a young man known as Big Bill Murphy encountered over one hundred years ago when he arrived for his shift in the Belmont Mine. <br><br>Almost 90 men were trapped in the 100 foot level of the mine and had been breathing in smoke long enough that they were either unconscious or too weak to get inside the elevator sent down to evacuate them. Big Bill volunteered without hesitation to go down in the elevator and load them up.<br><br>Down he went and before long the operator heard the bell ring to bring the cage up. Big Bill and a cage full of men unloaded on the surface. But there were more still down there, so back down Big Bill went. Another bell rang and another cage of rescued miners emptied out.<br><br>By now, Big Bill was feeling the fumes but he couldn’t leave anyone to die. So down he went for a third time. This time the ring took a little longer to come but finally the ding came. When the elevator cage emerged from the black smoke it was full of men just like the other times. Except there was no Big Bill this time. One of the semiconscious miners said someone fell out during the ascent. Everyone knew it was Big Bill. His last known words before he went down the final time were: “Well boys, I’ve made two trips and I’m nearly all in, but I’ll try again.”<br><br>Instructions: Take a photo similar to the one attached, along with rider flag and motorcycle.

The soldiers arrived at Valley Forge after defeats at Brandywine and Germantown, and upon their arrival, they immediately set up defensive works, taking advantage of the high terrain, to protect the approximately 12,000 troops who retreated there. <br><br>Our early history books tell us of their limited supplies and less than sufficient winter clothing. The men's diet was simple (rice with vinegar for New Years), and suffered heavily from a variety of diseases such as influenza, typhus, typhoid, and dysentery. Records show that over two-thirds of the 2,000 men who perished at Valley Forge that winter died in the warmer months of March, April, and May, when supplies were more abundant, but when disease was more prevalent. <br><br>But it was at Valley Forge that George Washington and his troops received some long needed assistance, which almost came too late. Prussian General Friedrich von Steuben provided a new training regimen to get the troops ready for their next victory over the British (Battle of Monmouth). Then, Nathanael Greene became quartermaster general, handling procurement logistics (including local foraging missions to garner food, fuel and supplies), allowing Washington to focus on military strategy. And the Continental Congress finally started raising and appropriating more funds for supplies.<br><br>Funds to build the arch ($100,000 from Congress) were approved in 1911. Construction began in 1914 and dedication in 1917. A restoration project in 1996 had a budget in excess of $1.5 million.<br><br>Made in America: If hunger strikes you while you are visiting the memorial, do not despair.

The soldiers arrived at Valley Forge after defeats at Brandywine and Germantown, and upon their arrival, they immediately set up defensive works, taking advantage of the high terrain, to protect the approximately 12,000 troops who retreated there. <br><br>Our early history books tell us of their limited supplies and less than sufficient winter clothing. The men's diet was simple (rice with vinegar for New Years), and suffered heavily from a variety of diseases such as influenza, typhus, typhoid, and dysentery. Records show that over two-thirds of the 2,000 men who perished at Valley Forge that winter died in the warmer months of March, April, and May, when supplies were more abundant, but when disease was more prevalent. <br><br>But it was at Valley Forge that George Washington and his troops received some long needed assistance, which almost came too late. Prussian General Friedrich von Steuben provided a new training regimen to get the troops ready for their next victory over the British (Battle of Monmouth). Then, Nathanael Greene became quartermaster general, handling procurement logistics (including local foraging missions to garner food, fuel and supplies), allowing Washington to focus on military strategy. And the Continental Congress finally started raising and appropriating more funds for supplies.<br><br>Funds to build the arch ($100,000 from Congress) were approved in 1911. Construction began in 1914 and dedication in 1917. A restoration project in 1996 had a budget in excess of $1.5 million.<br><br>Made in America: If hunger strikes you while you are visiting the memorial, do not despair.
