This slideshow covers the history of and presentation ceremony of the Congressional Gold Medal to the American Fighter Aces. It features General Steve Ritchie, the youngest living ACE and last Air Force Pilot Ace since the Korean War.
The Civil War began in 1861 when 11 southern states seceded from the United States to form the Confederate States of America over issues of states' rights and slavery. The war resulted in major battles across Virginia and campaigns led by generals like Grant and Sherman as the Union sought to defeat the Confederacy and reunite the country. After over four years of bloody conflict that took over 600,000 lives, the war ended in April 1865 with Confederate General Robert E. Lee's surrender to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House in Virginia.
The Congressional Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration that can be awarded to members of the United States Armed Forces. It was first authorized by Congress and President Lincoln in 1861 to recognize acts of valor during the Civil War. There are three versions of the medal - one each for the Navy, Army, and Air Force. In total, over 3,400 have been awarded, with most going to the Army. The medal seeks to inspire heroic acts in combat and honor those who demonstrate extraordinary courage against enemy forces.
Chuck Yeager grew up in West Virginia and served as a pilot in World War II, shooting down 13.5 enemy planes. In 1947, he broke the sound barrier while piloting the experimental X-1 aircraft. Yeager continued to push the boundaries of aviation, raising the airspeed record and helping to develop experimental planes like the X-15. He established himself as the exemplar of the "right stuff" and helped pave the way for the space program through daring test flights.
This document provides biographical and statistical details about test pilots and combat pilots from the early 1950s. It discusses Mike Collins' combat training, the high accident rates during experimental flight training programs, and career risks for Navy pilots, including a 23% chance of dying in an aircraft accident and 56% chance of needing to eject. It also gives details on Pete Knight's background and education, aircraft used in the Korean War by US and enemy forces, and Colonel Harrison Reed Thyng's accomplishments as a double ace.

Curt Flood was a star centerfielder for the St. Louis Cardinals who was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies in 1969 without his consent due to the reserve clause. Flood refused to report to the Phillies and filed a lawsuit against Major League Baseball, arguing he should not be treated as property. Though Flood lost the case when it reached the Supreme Court, his challenge helped weaken the reserve clause and lead to free agency for players. Flood's stand paved the way for future reforms that gave players more freedom over their careers.
Between 1938 and 1945, nearly 300,000 military aircraft were produced in the US for use in World War 2 by companies like Boeing, Lockheed, Douglas and others. After the war ended in 1945, many of the surplus aircraft were scrapped or stored in boneyards around the country, with over 150,000 aircraft ultimately scrapped or destroyed. However, some efforts were made to preserve some aircraft for uses like firefighting and by private groups, allowing a small number of World War 2 aircraft to survive to be preserved and flown by museums today.
Curt Flood was a star center fielder for the St. Louis Cardinals who refused to be traded to the Philadelphia Phillies in 1969, instead filing a lawsuit against Major League Baseball alleging that the reserve clause in player contracts violated antitrust law. While the Supreme Court ultimately ruled against Flood, his challenge helped pave the way for free agency in baseball by establishing the "Curt Flood Rule" allowing players with over 10 years in the MLB to veto trades. After his playing career, Flood remained an advocate for players' rights and against the reserve clause until his death in 1997.

Frederick Drew Gregory was the first African American to command a space shuttle mission. He had a lifelong dream of flying and became a pilot in the U.S. Air Force, flying 550 combat missions. Gregory then joined NASA and became an astronaut, completing three space missions aboard shuttles Challenger, Discovery, and Atlantis. He later served as NASA's deputy administrator, becoming the agency's highest-ranking African American.
The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African American pilots in the U.S. military. They trained at Tuskegee University starting in 1940 and went on to become highly respected fighter pilots during World War II. Despite facing racism, the Tuskegee Airmen proved that African Americans could fly and maintain combat aircraft. Their achievements helped pave the way for full integration of the U.S. military.

The document discusses arms races between nations. It notes that over $1 trillion is spent annually on military expenditures worldwide. Nations buy arms for reasons of security, prestige, domestic politics, technology, and economics. While arms have helped prevent some wars, the rapid growth of the arms industry and spending on weapons is leading the world towards increased global problems and potential destruction rather than solving serious issues. Some argue that arms can be used for peace when deployed by organizations like the UN, but others maintain that arms races increase instability and the risk of war.
The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African American pilots in the U.S. military. They trained at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama during a time of segregation from 1941-1946. Over 900 pilots graduated and served in the 99th Pursuit Squadron and later the 332nd Fighter Group. Despite facing discrimination, the Tuskegee Airmen proved themselves in combat missions in Europe and North Africa during World War II. Their success helped push for the desegregation of the U.S. armed forces and broader civil rights progress.
In 2007, 77 people lost their lives in Florida’s boating accidents, affecting untold hundreds of surviving family members and friends. May their losses lead to saving many others from similar situations.
The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African American pilots in the U.S. military. They trained at the Tuskegee Army Airfield in Alabama and went on to become the first black fighter squadron. During World War II, the Tuskegee Airmen flew over 15,000 missions and had the highest record of any fighter group, shooting down over 200 enemy aircraft. Despite facing racial discrimination, the Tuskegee Airmen helped pave the way for integration in the military.
Black and Female US Wartime Aviators - World at War #32 Oct-Nov 2013 Joel Kindrick
This document provides summaries of several articles from the October-November 2013 issue of World at War magazine, including:
1) The Battle of Nomonhan in 1939 where the Imperial Japanese Army fought the Soviet Red Army along the Manchurian-Mongolian border.
2) The role of Lend-Lease aid from the United States to the Soviet Union during World War 2 and differing interpretations of its importance.
3) The experiences of black and female US aviators during World War 2 who faced racial and gender discrimination but were later proven correct in their abilities.
Owned Lock, Stock, and Barrel: grandad's memorial day lesson for civiliansCharles Bloeser
"But here’s where grandad has a lesson for those of us who have never served. Had he known earlier what the intel really showed – that Communist China cared a great deal about what happened the other side of the Yalu river - it wouldn’t have mattered. It must not be allowed to matter.
"Like all who serve, grandad was owned by the United States lock, stock, and barrel, to be used as his nation deemed necessary. Even if ordered to march into Hell itself."
The Tuskegee Airmen overcame significant hardship and discrimination to become the first African American military pilots. They trained at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama and went on to complete over 15,000 combat missions during World War II, destroying over 150 enemy aircraft. Despite facing racism, the Tuskegee Airmen proved themselves as skilled pilots and helped pave the way for full integration of African Americans in the U.S. military.
We know that mesothelioma patients would rather stay local when receiving treatment,rnso we will review options for private medical centers, surgical consultants, clinical trials,rnand match you up with friendly, local physicians wherever we can.
During the Cold War arms race of the 1950s, both the United States and Soviet Union significantly expanded their nuclear arsenals through technological advancements like ICBMs, nuclear submarines, and bombers. This arms buildup increased fears among the American public of potential nuclear attack. John F. Kennedy was elected president in 1960 in part by claiming the US had fallen behind the Soviets, and his administration approved the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in 1961, which failed and strengthened Cuba's ties to the Soviet Union.
An American F-111 was shot down over North Vietnam in 1972. The two crew members ejected safely and were taken as prisoners of war to the Hanoi Hilton. During one pilot's interrogation, a Caucasian officer, believed to be Soviet, offered the prisoner some water purification tablets when the North Vietnamese interrogator left the room. Forty years later, the pilot was able to meet the Soviet officer, Vladimir Gomozov, who was now wheelchair-bound and living in Ukraine. Military linguists had facilitated relations between Soviet and American veterans' groups and helped bring Gomozov a new wheelchair donated by the Vietnam Veterans of America.
The US military first employed helicopters in World War II for medical evacuation missions. During the Korean War, helicopters such as the HO3S-1 and H-5 proved valuable for casualty evacuation, reconnaissance, resupply, and extraction of downed pilots. The Marine Corps utilized helicopters for the first air assaults in 1951 to transport troops. Helicopter capabilities continued to expand during the war as models like the H-19 demonstrated versatility in light transport, casualty evacuation, and air-sea rescue.
The document discusses how the U.S. military, despite being highly trained and technologically advanced, is still capable of preventable mistakes. It describes an incident where a Special Forces group's GPS device failed, sending their coordinates instead of the intended target's. As a result, the group and civilians were bombed by their own plane. While the U.S. military trains other countries' forces, the document argues they should also train on responding to technology failures to prevent loss of life. Overall, the document examines how even the world's most powerful military can fail to plan for unexpected errors.
The document is a research paper about the evolution of US military training and its use of technology. It discusses how the US military has become highly trained and advanced but still makes mistakes. It provides the example of a story where a Special Forces group is accidentally bombed by their own plane due to a technology failure of their GPS system. The paper argues the military should provide additional training on safety procedures for when technology fails, as lives could have been saved in this incident if operators knew how to respond appropriately. It also examines how the US trains other countries' militaries to help develop democratic allies.
The document discusses the history and accomplishments of the Buffalo Soldiers, who were African American regiments in the US Army in the late 1800s. It notes that the Buffalo Soldiers, made up of former slaves and freemen, were the first Black regiments to serve during peacetime after the Civil War. The Buffalo Soldiers escorted settlers, cattle, and railroad crews across the western frontier, and also fought in campaigns against Native American tribes from Montana to Texas. They gained a reputation for bravery and were called "Buffalo Soldiers" by the tribes they fought. The document also provides background on African American contributions during the Civil War, including over 180,000 who served in the Union Army.
The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979 with 80,000 troops, which President Carter called the greatest threat to peace. The US supported anti-Soviet Islamic rebels including Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban with $40 billion in aid. Iran also experienced unrest in 1979 as the Shah was removed from power, resulting in Iranian students taking 52 American hostages at the US embassy in Tehran for 444 days. Carter's weak response to these crises, including a failed rescue operation, led Americans to feel their influence had declined and left them wanting a stronger leader.
Charles Drew discovered techniques for long-term blood plasma storage, allowing plasma to be transfused regardless of the recipient's blood type. J. Robert Oppenheimer was the scientific director of the Manhattan Project that developed the first nuclear weapons. Ray Kroc recognized McDonald brothers' efficient production system and convinced them to let him franchise the concept, founding McDonald's Corporation.
During WWII, African Americans and Japanese Americans faced discrimination but still served in the U.S. military with distinction. The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African American military pilots who overcame obstacles to complete over 1,500 successful missions in Europe and North Africa. The 442nd Regimental Combat Team, composed mostly of Japanese Americans, became the most decorated unit for its size despite their families facing internment; members proved their loyalty to the U.S. while rescuing the "Lost Battalion" at great cost. Navajo code talkers also served critically by transmitting messages in their native language that the enemy could not understand.
The document outlines the history and criteria for receiving the Medal of Honor, the highest military decoration awarded by the U.S. government. It details the different types of Medals of Honor for each military branch and establishes a pyramid of honor for other medals awarded for bravery below the Medal of Honor level. Specific details are provided on individual recipients of the Medal of Honor throughout history, including demographic information and their acts of bravery.
The document summarizes the history of early American military honors, including the Fidelity Medallion which was awarded to the three militiamen who captured British spy John Andre in 1780. It then describes the Badge of Military Merit, established by George Washington in 1782 to recognize merit in enlisted men. While three sergeants were the first recorded recipients in 1783, additional research found discharge documents of other Revolutionary War soldiers also mentioning receipt of the "Badge of Merit" for faithful service. The Military Order of the Purple Heart continues researching the origins of the Badge of Military Merit and Purple Heart Medal.

Major General Samuel Helland briefed the BENS members and gave them a tour of Camp Pendleton's immersive training facilities, including an Iraqi village simulation. The simulated village uses advanced technology like projected images, sound effects, and actors to create realistic training scenarios for Marines. It allows Marines to experience conditions like they would in an actual Iraqi village, preparing them for potential situations involving improvised explosive devices, rocket propelled grenades, and encounters with locals before deployment. The village and its buildings can be reconfigured to provide different challenges during training exercises.
The document summarizes a 700 mile sailing adventure along the Amazon River in Peru. Some key experiences included planting trees in the rainforest, crossing canopy bridges high above the forest floor, visiting a shaman in a special structure, being blessed and purified, fishing for piranha, witnessing the birth of giant lily pads, interacting with abundant wildlife including birds, monkeys and caiman, visiting remote river villages whose inhabitants live off piranha and bananas, and saying goodbye to the Amazon at dawn after experiencing its mud and encountering local snakes and insects.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

Congressional Gold Medal Ceremony Featuring General Steve (Cinco) Ritchie
1. The Congress of the United States
requests your presence at a
Congressional Gold Medal Ceremony
in honor of the
American Fighter Aces
on Wednesday, the twentieth of May
two thousand fifteen
at three o’clock in the afternoon
Emancipation Hall

Washington, District of Columbia
All guests must have a ticket to gain entry.
This invitation is nontransferable.

2. Congressional Gold Medal
A Congressional Gold Medal is an award bestowed by the United States
Congress; the Congressional Gold Medal and the Presidential Medal of
Freedom are the highest civilian awards in the United States. It is awarded
to persons "who have performed an achievement that has an impact on
American history and culture that is likely to be recognized as a major
achievement in the recipient's field long after the achievement.”
The Gold Medal and the Presidential Medal of Freedom are generally
considered to carry the same level of prestige (though significantly fewer
Gold Medals have been awarded). The chief difference between the two is
that the Freedom Medal is personally awarded by the President of the
United States, and Congressional Gold Medals are awarded by Acts of
Congress (Congress may authorize the President to present the award).
Per committee rules, legislation bestowing a Congressional Gold Medal upon
a recipient must be co-sponsored by two-thirds of the membership of
both the House of Representatives and the Senate before their respective
committees will consider it.
3. Congressional Gold Medal
A Congressional Gold Medal is designed by the United States Mint
to specifically commemorate the person and achievement for
which the medal is awarded. Medals are therefore different in
appearance, and there is no standard design. Congressional Gold
Medals are considered non-portable, meaning that they are not
meant to be worn on a uniform or other clothing, but rather
displayed.
The Congressional Gold Medal is distinct from the Medal of Honor,
a military decoration for extreme bravery in action, and from the
Congressional Space Medal of Honor, presented by NASA for
extraordinary accomplishment in United States space
exploration.

Expeditionary Wing):
“Having the Legends of
Aerospace crew here was a
once in a lifetime event. I feel
blessed that I was here to see
them. The astronauts are a
testament to why our country
should strive for manned
exploration instead of
automation. Also having a
legend like Gen Ritchie was
awe inspiring since he is able
to understand what the
Airmen and Soldiers are going
through. Overall, this is the
kind of awe inspiring event
that I will remember for my
whole life.”

37. The U.S. Congress honored the 1,447 U.S. pilots designated as American
Fighter Aces, an exclusive military club composed of members who shot
down at least five hostile aircraft in direct combat, with the Congressional
Gold Medal on May 20 at a ceremony in Washington, D.C.
Air Force Lieutenant General Charles "Chick" Cleveland, American Fighter
Aces Association president, accepted for himself and on behalf of the
other 76 surviving pilots the Congressional Gold Medal, the country's
highest civilian award the Congress can bestow. The U.S. Congress could
only present the medal to those individuals "who have performed an
achievement that has an impact on American culture and history that is
likely to be recognized as a major achievement in the recipient's field long
after the achievement.“
The 87-year-old Cleveland flew 145 war missions in Vietnam and Korea,
shooting down at least five aircraft during a career in which he registered
more than 4,500 flying hours, earning the Ace Pilots title reserved for the
veterans who fought in aerial combat during World War I, World War II,
and the Vietnam and Korean wars.
38. Retired Air Force Brig. Gen. Steve Ritchie of Bellevue, 72, left, and retired
Navy commander Clarence Borley of Olympia, 90, were honored.
39. "If there's an elite among fighter pilots, it's these men," Cleveland
addressed an audience of around 500 people, during a ceremony at the
Emancipation Hall on Capitol Hill in Washington, comprised of some three
dozen pilots belonging to a rare breed of fighters.
Congressman Denny Heck, representative of 10th District Washington,
was the original co-sponsor of the American Fighter Aces Congressional
Gold Medal Act, which has honored the pilots with the medal.
Six ace pilots were living in Washington when Congress adopted Heck's
bill, five were veterans from World War II and another a pilot fighter from
the Vietnam War.
The World War II set includes Navy Commander Clarence Borley, Captain
Clayton Kelly Gross, Captain Joe McGraw, Lieutenant Mike Wolf, and
Colonel Arthur Jeffrey. Jeffrey, who took out 14 German aircraft, passed
away in April.
40. Meanwhile, retired Air Force Brigadier
General Steve Ritchie is the youngest of the
American Fighter Aces at 72 years old.
Ritchie flew in an F-4 Phantom jet and
battled North Vietnamese pilots flying MiG-
21 jets. He shot five of his enemies in 1972.
Ritchie was the last pilot fighter to be part of
the group, while the oldest member is 104
years old, according to the American Fighter
Aces Association.
House Speaker John Boehner stated
the brave missions flown by the Fighter
Aces "changed the course of American-
fought wars throughout modern
history. These Fighter Aces risked it all
to defend freedom and democracy
around the world."
