all the black troops from the 10th and 18th corps are taken together to form the 25th army corps. it's the last corps formed, the only all-black corps formed during the war, and who do you suppose they chose to command it? godfrey weitzel. grant and lee are engaged in a standoff at petersburg. during the winter, grant realizes he has to keep lee penned in because in the spring, when the roads are passable, lee might try to escape and if he gets out of petersburg, it may be a long time before they can end this thing. weitzel is given command of all the union troops outside of richmond. 24th army corps, which is white, and the 25th, the all-black corps. richmond was a very fortified place, especially approaching from the north, south, and east. weitzel built three observation towers to see the trains moving in and out, try to assess when the time might be to find a weakness in richmond's guard. april 1, general grant since a telegraph saying, "i need you to keep long street pinned in. i'm afraid he will central to come down to petersburg to help reinforce lee. i need to keep him pin

after these tests, they agreed you can go to the air corps.f surprised though, when i finally got called, that they had lengthened the program. my brother went right to primary. that is where they flew the yellow perils. they were biplanes. while i was waiting around, i finished my junior year at notre dame. while i was waiting around, my dad said, you are going to have to stay busy. i was working as a laborer. they were putting another floor on a facility for handicapped young people. while i was waiting, i got a call from the math teacher, who was very bright. had written several books at rutgers college. he said, i need some help. i said, what do you mean? he said, we have the army air corps boys and they have a three-month training program. he said, i want you to teach celestial navigation to the army air force cadets. i said, i never had science before. he said, i will teach you a week ahead of the students. [laughter] ironically, he did keep me ahead. they probably thought i was a slacker. i told them, i appreciate working with you army

given the amount of money that's owed by the corps to our local agencies.o i would ask you to reconsider now and certainly i know as congressman hurd feels and many others, ask for your help in remedying this situation. with that, mr. speaker, i yield. the chair: the gentleman's time has expired this egentleman from idaho. mr. simpson: again i understand what you're trying to do, i sympathize with what you're trying to do, you're correct funds remain unallocated in the flood control account. that's because the administration is dragging its feet in allocating these funds for some reason, it's not because the funds are not needed or cannot be used. in fact the bill encludes language to try to correct this problem. but i can't support increasing funding for environmental projects at the expense of projects that protect our communities from flooding. i offer the gentlemen, both gentlemen, the opportunity to work with the committee. i will work with you to try to address this issue as we move forward. with that, i yield back the balance of my time. the chair: t

a marine corps infantry unit that will be different than a so-called task force. but the important thing is we have a structure. as we have learned through previous lessons learned, we need to have a support structure there. there are some strategies there. when we place women with seminal occupational specialties in the unit, whether they are co-located with similar occupancy, or just leadership being there. i have personally watched a woman crash and burn because she did not have the support structure necessary. we moved out a little too quick. this was 20 years ago. in 1983. lord 1993. -- or 1993. they will have deliberative implementation plans that will be looked at and in stride we will be evaluating them every step of the way to make sure the women have the support they need to do well. because if they fail because we have in place the right support there, it will be very hard for us to get motivated volunteers to follow that same path. we want to do it right the first time so that we continue to generate the folks that want to come in behind them and do we

and to the corps of engineers, whose job it is to build things.ebecca adams: following up on that, the senate version of the spending bill for the v.a. does include language on that, which would require the army corps of engineers to oversee these kinds of projects. so, you think that that is definitely going to become law? because the have been these concerns, and it is not just denver. it is projects in orlando, las vegas, and to new orleans -- senator isakson: new orleans. rebecca adams: -- as well. that is right. senator isakson: yeah, there are four hospitals were the cost overruns are substantial. none is greatest denver, but others as much as 125% over run. and the v.a. has agreed to accept construction limits up to $250 million. i think they ought to be reduced down to about $25 million. that ought to be the threshold. anything over $25 million for construction is done by the corps, not by the veterans administration. john mcardle: and senator, does that mean that you are looking for reductions at to the v.a., specifically in the construct

it is the same pattern that exists today if you look at marine corps dress uniforms. i have the same thing on my cap. three layers of braid for a major. these would have been done by hand. officers uniforms were privately purchased by officers, historically, so they would have been made by taylor's. >> who does yours? tyler: i don't remember the name of the guy who made this one but he did a really good job. >> you have played as you're playing a confederate major today. have you taken on other roles? tyler: i am with the fife and drum corps, i had came originally as a fiver. >> what got you hitch rested in living history to begin with? tyler: i've always been interested in history, material culture, and things from the past. i thought that it looked like fun and it combines my passion for material culture with getting to teach people about history. >> how is this event organized? how do you know what to do and when? with the signing of the letters of surrender their at the mclean house, how do you know where to be? tyler: the simple answer is you either get told or y

the army corps of engineers finally recommends to congress that they require the state of florida to turn over the waterway to the federal government flee of charge -- free of charge, and florida was the only state on atlantic coast that was required to turn over its waterway free of charge. because they found out in world war i that they could not nationalize privately-owned canals. they could nationalize state-owned canals but not privately-owned canals. so, you know every time a war would come around congress would start thinking, you know this would be good for the country in a lot of different ways for the country to take over privately-owned tollway and make it a federal intercoastal waterway and as originally conceived from maine all the way down thekey west. -- down to key west. we had to create an entity, a local sponsor called the florida inland navigation district a special taxing district that would tax the 11 counties along the atlantic coast from duval county all the way down to dade county which is now miami-dade county. that is saw county -- nassau county, at the very

the army corps of engineers, the corps e.p.a. has testified their revised clean water protection rule will provide more certainty and clarity to the current clean water permitting process, will reduce regulatory confusion and costs and protect our nation's waters, our economy and our american way of life. it was so stressed in the committee hearing which we all attended and i believe that is something they were very sure they wanted to do. in fact, on april 6 2015, corps and e.p.a. submitted this revised clean water protection rule to o.m.b. for final review, bringing it closer to publication later this spring, but my republican colleagues are attempting to stop the rulemaking without even seeing the final product. mr. mccarthy just said so, we are going to stop this regulation. in fact 1732 would halt the final rulemaking for countless streams and wetlands, many which serve as primary source of drinking water for one in three americans. if you want to put it in millions, 117 million people. fact rather than allow the agency to p

i ended up going in the marine corps and, servin' in vietnam. my family and friends were sometimes bein' killed on the streets back home. i knew what i was gonna face when i went back. and yet in that same period of time we put a human on the moon! and then we did it over and over and over again six times. you know, tell me, that's why i say to people, "don't tell me what we can't do. i have seen it. i have experienced it". there is nothing like that-- >> on one of those visits to the moon we left a plaque that said, "we came in peace to serve all mankind". and that just sounded, like some more of that idealistic frabajaba (sic). but now that we're actually going into space with people from other places on earth, and working with them up there sharing information, telling people what we know, learning from what they've learned, it now seems more real to me in the 21st century that we may do something up there that serves all mankind than it did in 1967 when we had missiles pointed at each other and this was very much an american operation gettin

thank you members of the diplomatic corps for joining us. you to our beloved and distinguished veterans. the message, when it came at last, was simple. the mission of this allied force was fulfilled at 02:41 local time, may 7, 1945. signed, eisenhower. there was no paen to victory, no exultation. too much had been lost for that. too much remained to be done. when president truman addressed the nation, even as he proclaimed that the flags of freedom fly all over europe, he reminded all americans of those priceless lives that were rendered as a sacrifice to redeem our liberty. as the news spread and people poured into the streets to celebrate, in new york, london and paris, cheers and laughter mixed freely with tears. and even in the midst of one triumph, we vowed to fight on and finish the war in the pacific. ladies and gentlemen, 70 years after that great turning point in the history of our world, we remember the sacrifice that was made to preserve freedom. those who laid down their lives for a better future. the americans who won the beachh

military veterans of the second world war from the army, the army air forces, the navy, the marine corps coast guard and merchant marine. this event was conceived in large part to recognize the contributions they made to ultimate victory in europe and the pacific. several of those veterans will actually be on board aircraft participating in the flyover. urban rahoy in world war ii he is now 96 years old and still an active bush pilot in alaska. he drove here from alaska by himself and will be on board one of the b-17s. rear admiral edward whitey fatener shot down nine enemy aircraft wildcats and f-6 hell cats for the navy. today he'll be flying in one of the texans that comes by early in the flyover. al tucker flew the p-38 lightning in europe during world war ii before being shot down over germany on his 22nd git gatcombat mission. he was a prisoner of the germans. mr. tucker will be in one of the steerman biplanes during today's flyover. weldon briton lives in virginia, but in 1945, he was a p-51 mustang pilot based in the pacific theater and he'll be participating in the flyover as a

wac, the women's army corps. but remember the auxiliary voluntary, volunteers -- does that tell you anything about what they expected from these women? basically, they were expected not to be permanent. they were expected to eventually go home. they were paid in the military. they got wages. that is a very important part of the whole thing because many of them liked earning those wages. it's like there had to be an character and u.s. citizens. they had height and weight and age requirements, too. they could have children, but they had to be under 14 years of age, but everybody came together to win the war. you have the military. rita hayworth is here because you have the canteens and everybody trying to get the morale up for the war. the children did with the recycling and the bond. when the women that were african-american and the men too -- they served bravely. they served well, but there was always that prejudice in the background, and some of the defense did not want to hire the people of color, so roosevelt
