#OTD 80 years ago, American troops launched an invasion of Saipan in the Western Pacific.

The objective of the operation was to secure Saipan’s critical air base, providing the U.S. with a strategic position to conduct bombings of the Japanese mainland. https://t.co/lirEkZHtkW

RT @GitanasNauseda: #OTD we commemorate the victims of communist terror.
 
On June 14th, 1941, the Soviets began mass deportations in Lithuania. Over 130k people were forced out of their homes & taken to Siberia.
 
Today Russia continues the legacy of Soviet terror in Ukraine. It must be stopped. https://t.co/RBvJVDkLH8

#OTD in 1980, Operation EAGLE CLAW, though deemed a failure, led to the establishment of the @USSOCOM and its USAF component, #AFSOC. EAGLE CLAW highlighted the necessity of joint planning and training which still holds true today. https://t.co/K4VR1rbOXi

#OTD in 1942, Lt. Dick Cole, copiloted the 1st B-25 to fly off the USS Hornet during WWII with the Doolittle Raiders. He later flew with the 1st ACG, supporting groups in Burma. Cole embodied the Air Commando mindset... biased toward action & always ready when our Nation calls. https://t.co/J7CtS6VGi9
