This is what Courage and Character is all about when faced with Adversity.
#tbt Today, we celebrate the anniversary of the accomplishments of a living legend. On October 31, 1972, Michael Edwin Thornton was part of a three-man Navy SEAL patrol in Vietnam on an intelligence-gathering and prisoner capture operation against an enemy naval river base. As the patrol reached land and approached on foot, it suddenly came under heavy fire. Outnumbered, the SEALs called in naval gunfire support and then engaged the enemy in a fierce firefight, inflicting many enemy casualties before moving back to the waterline to prevent encirclement. Then Thornton learned his senior adviser had been hit by enemy fire and was believed to be dead. Thornton returned to the lieutenant's last position under fire and quickly disposed of two enemy soldiers. Still under fire, he removed the seriously wounded and unconscious senior advisor to the water's edge. He then inflated the lieutenant's lifejacket and swam to sea, towing the unconcious man for approximately two hours until picked up by support craft. By his extraordinary courage and perseverance, Thornton was directly responsible for saving the life of his superior officer and enabling the safe extraction of all patrol members, thereby upholding the highest traditions of the U.S. Naval Service.

US NAVY'S BLOODIEST DAY On this day, 80 years ago, the largest naval battle in world history began with naval forces of 210,000 sailors and naval airmen engaging in fierce combat. In total, over 1,500,000 combatants were in this single theater-of-war. The naval action part of Battle of Leyte Gulf in WW II was so large that nearly 400 ships and nearly 2,000 aircraft engaged each other for 96 hours over a battle theater 100,000 square miles in area. This was literally War of The Worlds as it was The Empire of Japan's Navy's Last Stand. This naval engagement also has the grim detail of being the single deadliest naval battle in the world's history. Although too many single actions to detail in this post, it is notable that the last great battleship duel took place during Leyte Gulf with America bringing to bear six battleships which absolutely decimated Japanese battleships and their escorts at the Surigao Straits. Japan suffered tremendous losses of over 419,000 killed and injured while the United states suffered over 7,000 sailors and naval airmen killed along with 16,000 soldiers killed. Today, We remember the over 7,000 US sailors and airmen and 16,000 soldiers killed along with the many others who sacrificed all so we would not be conquered by the Evil Japanese.

During World War II, the U.S. Navy faced substantial losses in its submarine fleet, with 52 submarines and over 3,500 submariners lost in the line of duty. These submarines, now on eternal patrol, carried out daring missions that were critical to the Allied war effort, disrupting enemy supply lines, gathering intelligence, and sinking significant tonnage of enemy shipping. Each loss represented a profound sacrifice and demonstrated the bravery and resilience of the submariners who operated in perilous conditions beneath the sea. The legacy of these submarines and their crews serves as a powerful reminder of the cost of war and the heroism displayed by those who served. Their contributions significantly impacted the course of the war, despite the high risks and ultimate sacrifices they faced. T oday, we honor their memory and valor, recognizing the silent service's vital role in achieving victory during World War II. As we reflect on their service, we commit to preserving their stories and ensuring that their sacrifices are never forgotten.

Congress replied to Morris’ budget by slashing the proposed amount for almost every department. Civil and Military staff was cut by 33%. The Clothing Department was cut by 85%. The Marine Department was cut by 88%. Morris had to postpone his plan of creating a naval force, starting with six ships. #History #FoundingFathers #Entrepreneur #AmericanHistory #RobertMorris #InsideTheRevolution #BusinessLeader #AmericanRevolution
