Whale watching pictures from back in 2010 — it's a fluke (!) that I took any pictures at all...
On this day, September 26 in 1918 America’s deadliest battle ever started. During seven weeks of combat, 1.2 million American troops led by Gen. John J. Pershing fought to advance on the entrenched positions held by about 450,000 Germans in the Verdun region.The offensive that started on Sept. 26, 1918, was one of several simultaneous Allied attacks that brought the war which started in 1914 to an end, leading the Germans to retreat and sign the armistice on November 11.
26,000 U.S. soldiers were killed, tens of thousands wounded and more ammunition fired than in the whole of the Civil War. The Meuse-Argonne offensive of 1918 was also a great American victory that helped bring an end to World War 1.

Elles sont arrivées à Versailles dans l’après-midi, ce mercredi 27 septembre. Les deux statues équestres des généraux Pershing et Lafayette seront ...
The article is in French, so I don’t understand it word for word, but from what I can gather using my minuscule understanding of French, there are now statues of Lafayette and General Pershing on the road from Versailles to Ville-d’Avary! The statues were installed on their pedestals on September 29th, but the instillation ceremony is set to take place on October 6th at 3PM.
Even if the war anecdote that he shared wasn't false, the fact that he wishes to not only murder but to humiliate and defile prisoners of war is sickening enough
