Members Kayla Posted June 21, 2007 Members Share Posted June 21, 2007 I knew that President Bush is really not George Bush Jr because he only has one middle name George Walker Bush where as his father's name is George Herbert Walker Bush...so therefore they are not Jr and Sr. Which practically everyone makes a mistake about. :roll [offtopic]and it drives me up the wall....just personality quirk I guess since I was so close to going into political science[/offtopic] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kayla Posted June 21, 2007 Members Share Posted June 21, 2007 The oldest building in North America is in Fulton, Missouri at Westminster College-Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Aldermanbury it was originally built in the 1200s and all the brick is the same from that time period making it the oldest building in North America. It was brought over from England to be a tribute to Winston Churchill, if you didn't know Fulton/Westminster is where he gave his "Ironcurtain" speech about the USSR.

Members chev1958 Posted June 21, 2007 Members Share Posted June 21, 2007 I knew about the Marines, didn't know that about the Coast Guard (which falls under the Navy's jurisdiction during wartime) The Marines are part of the Navy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators HappyChristian Posted June 21, 2007 Administrators Share Posted June 21, 2007 I knew that (my dad was in the Navy and my brother in the Marines...they constantly haggle about it - my dad pointing out that if it weren't for the Navy, the Marines would have to swim! ) Billy Mitchell, the father of the Air Force, predicted when and how the Japanese would bomb Pearl Harbor (check out the movie "The Court Martial of Billy Mitchell" - stars Jimmy Stewart...excellent movie!)
