1 September 1939 – At 0445 hours German forces invade Poland without a declaration of war. The operation is code named Fall Weiss (Plan White). The Germans allot 52 divisions for the invasion (some 1.5 million men), including the 6 armored divisions and all their motorized units. Of the divisions left to defend against an Anglo-French front, only about 10 are regarded by the Germans as being fit for any kind of action. General Brauchitsch, the Commander-in-Chief of the German Army, is in command of the campaign. Bock leads Army Group North, consisting of the 4th Army (Kuchler) and 3rd Army (Kluge); Rundstedt leads Army Group South, consisting of 8th Army (Balskowitz), 10th Army (Reichenau) and 14th Army.

Air support comes from two Air Fleets, commanded by Kesselring and Lohr, which have around 1,600 aircraft. Army Group South, advancing from Silesia, is to provide the main German attacks. The 8th Army on the left is to move toward Poznan, the principal thrust is to be delivered by 10th Army which is to advance in the center to the Vistula River between Warsaw and Sandomierz, while 14th Army on the right moves toward Krakow and the Carpathian flank. The 4th Army from East Prussia is to move south toward Warsaw and the line to the Bug River to the east; 3rd Army is to cross the Polish Corridor and join 4th Army in moving south.

The Poles have 23 regular infantry divisions prepared with 7 more assembling, 1 weak armored division and an inadequate supply of artillery. They also have a considerable force of cavalry. The reserve units were only called up on August 30th and are not ready for combat. In the air, almost all the 500 Polish planes are obsolete and prove unable to blunt the impact of the German attack.

During the day, the Luftwaffe launches air strikes on Warsaw, Lodz and Krakow. The Polish Commander in Chief, Marshal Rydz-Smigly, has deployed the stronger parts of his army in the northwestern half of the country, including large forces in the Poznan area and the Polish Corridor. He hopes to hold the Germans to only gradual gains. All along the front the superior training, equipment and strength of the Germans quickly brings them the advantage in the first battles. Many Polish units are overrun before their reinforcements from the reserve mobilization can arrive.

At sea, as in the air, Polish technical inferiority leads to crushing early defeats. Three of the four Polish destroyers manage to leave for Britain before hostilities begin and later one submarine also escapes.

31 August was a significant date in the history of Vietnam, here's a time line on that date for the war and US involvement:

1954–Under terms of the Geneva Agreement, a flow of almost one million refugees from North to South Vietnam begins. CIA Col Lansdale plays a role in encouraging Catholics and providing transportation with France and the United States provide aircraft and ships. USMC Colonel Victor J. Croziat, first US Marine assigned to the US MAAG in Saigon, creates refugee centers.

1955–Secretary of State John Foster Dulles supports South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem’s position regarding his refusal to hold “national and general elections” to reunify the two Vietnam states. Although these elections were called for by the Geneva Accords of July 1954, Diem and his supporters in the United States realized that if the elections were held, Ho Chi Minh and the more populous north would probably win, thereby reuniting Vietnam under the Communist banner.

1963–At a National Security Council meeting, Paul Kattenburg, just returned from Saigon, suggests that the United States is backing the wrong man in Diem, and that this might be a good time to get out of Vietnam honorably. Dean Rusk replies that the United States will stay until victorious, McNamara asserts that the United States is winning, and VP Lyndon Johnson suggests that the war be prosecuted vigorously. Subsequently, President Kennedy wonders aloud whether any government in Saigon can successfully resist the Communists.

1965–Premier Nguyen Cao Ky announces that South Vietnam would not negotiate with the Communists without guarantees that North Vietnamese troops would be withdrawn from the South.

1965 – President Johnson signs into law a bill making it illegal to destroy or mutilate a U.S. draft card, with penalties of up to five years and a $10,000 fine.

1967–Senate Preparedness Investigating Committee issues a call to step up bombing against the North, declaring that McNamara had “shackled” the air war against Hanoi, and calling for “closure, neutralization, or isolation of Haiphong.” President Johnson, attempting to placate Congressional “hawks” and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, expanded the approved list of targets in the north, authorizing strikes against bridges, barracks, and railyards in the Hanoi-Haipong area and additional targets in the previously restricted areas along the Chinese border.

1972–U.S. weekly casualty figures of five dead and three wounded are the lowest recorded since record keeping began in January 1965. These numbers reflected the fact that there were less than 40,000 American troops left in South Vietnam by this time and very few of these were involved in actual combat. U.S. troop withdrawals had begun in the fall of 1969 following Pres. Richard Nixon’s announcement at the Midway conference on June 8, 1972, that he would begin reducing the number of American troops in Vietnam.

30 August 1945-General MacArthur Arrives at Atsugi airfield, Japan.

When President Truman announced Japan's capitulation, he placed General of the Army Douglas MacArthur in charge of the surrender and occupation of Japan, under the title Supreme Commander Allied Powers (SCAP). Though the first two weeks of this mission were directed from Manila, on 30 August MacArthur flew to Japan.

After the 11th Airborne Division had secured Atsugi airfield, MacArthur - with corncob pipe clenched between his teeth - deplaned from his Douglas C-54 Skymaster and established temporary headquarters some twenty miles away, at the Tokyo Bay city of Yokohama. Arrangements for the formal surrender ceremonies were made there. SCAP headquarters moved to Tokyo on 8 September, beginning six years of occupation government from the Japanese capital city.

As Allied commander of the Japanese occupation in 1945–51, MacArthur effectively if autocratically directed the demobilization of Japanese military forces, the expurgation of militarists, the restoration of the economy, and the drafting of a liberal constitution. Significant reforms were inaugurated in land redistribution, education, labour, public health, and women’s rights. While he was in Japan, MacArthur also headed the army’s Far East command.

29 August 1944 – Pennsylvania’s 28th Infantry Division leads the American contingent in the “Liberation Day” parade down the Champs Elysees as Paris explodes with joy after the Germans withdraw from the city. The Allies, who had landed in Normandy on June 6th, had spent more than six weeks fighting through the Norman hedgerows before finally breaking out on the French Plain and headed for Paris.
The 28th – a National Guard unit - had been ordered to federal service on 17 Feb. 1941, for a year of active duty. However, after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the unit was designated to stay on active duty for the duration of the war. The unit was deployed to England in October 1943 and landed on the beaches of Normandy on 22 July 1944 – a little more than four weeks after D-Day. The 28th then moved across France.
The the fury of assaults launched by the 28th Infantry Division led the German Army to bestow the Keystone soldiers with the title, 'Bloody Bucket’, Division. As well this was due to the shape and blood red color of its "Keystone Division" insignia. The Division fought through the hedgerows in France, through Luxembourg and participated in the bloody Battle of the Huertgen Forest and the Battle of the Bulge. They suffered close to 16,000 battle casualties during the war, and 1,900 were KIA. For action during WWII, the Division was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation, French Croix de Guerre (with palm), Army Meritorious Unit Commendation and Luxembourg Croix de Guerre.
The Division marched through Paris without stopping, and then marched right to the front lines and was in combat the next day - that's what "The Greatest Generation", did for us and the world.
God Bless them all...

29 August 2005 – Hurricane Katrina made a second landfall near Empire, Buras and Boothville, Louisiana after first previously striking Southeast Florida on 25 August and once again (as always), the US Coast Guard was there to assist in rescue operations. The rescue and response effort was one of the largest in Coast Guard history, involving units from every district.

There were 5,600 USCG men and women involved in the rescue operations along with 26 Cutters, 36 helicopters, 14 fixed wing aircraft, 13 auxiliary aircraft, 119 boats along with 8 Marine Safety and Security Teams who saved 35,000+ lives and conducted 9,409 evacuations. A Herculean effort that lasted for days...

28 August 1910-Glen Curtis wins the first organized air race in his "Rheims Racer." The French had organized the first international aviation meet, officially known as La Grande Semain d'Aviation de Champagne, in the ancient cathedral city of Rheims. Twenty-two airmen from all over the world attended, bringing with them 38 airplanes and the planes represented 10 different manufacturers. Most of the aircraft were French, and Curtiss and his Rheims Racer were the only American and the only American-built airplane present.

It was a grand affair, and the air meet was backed by the city of Rheims and the neighboring vinters who cleared Bethany Plain near the city and built an "aeropolis." The ten-square kilometer flying field boasted hangers, grandstands, barber shops, florists, and a 600-seat terrace restaurant where spectators could sip champagne and listen to fiddlers as they watched the air races. The aviators arrived like knights and nobles with elaborate entourages, including ground crews, equipment, and spare airplanes. Gabriel Voison brought an entire field kitchen and the cooks to man it. By contrast, Glenn Curtiss had two mechanics, a single airplane, and a spare propeller. But the austerity and simplicity of his operation endeared him to the French, and he quickly became one of the favorites with the aviators, spectators, and newspapers.

The air meet opened to bad weather on the morning of August 22. But by late afternoon, the skies had cleared, the winds were still, and seven airplanes took the skies together. It was an incredible spectacle that awed everyone present, aviators and spectators alike.

On the day of the Gordon Bennett cup race, Curtiss made his speed run as early as he could. When he landed, a mob of cheering Americans rushed him. He had set a new world's record — 46.5 mph. Other aviators had yet to fly, however. As Curtiss watched "like a prisoner awaiting the decision of the jury," one by one they flew and fell short of his mark. There was no serious competition until it was Bleriot's turn. He landed to thundering applause from the French and walked over to the judges booth. Curtiss remained a respectful distance. The crowd was dead quiet and remained that way until suddenly the silence was pieced by a shriek of joy. The shout came from Courtland Bishop, president of the Aero Club of America, who was in the judges stand. He came running over to Curtiss. "You win! You win!" he shouted. Curtiss had beaten Bleriot by just six seconds.

Those magnificent men and their flying machines!

RAINBOW BRIDGE REMEMBRANCE DAY | AUGUST 28 - Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day on August 28th sets aside a day to remember the pet companions we’ve lost.
The death of a pet is felt deeply. They become family and a familiar part of our lives. Mourning their death is different for everyone, and the observance provides a way to help heal the ache of loss. The pain of loss is real. As each person travels through their grief, we remember the companionship and comfort they provided to us. Don’t forget that part of the relationship included care provided by you and celebrate the home you provided and the joy your beloved pet brought you in return...

THE RAINBOW BRIDGE
"Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend(s) finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together."

27 August 1945 – The Allied fleets anchor in Sagami (Tokyo) Bay within sight of Mount Fujiyama. Admiral Halsey, commander of the US 3rd Fleet, is present for what is probably the greatest display of naval might in history. The armada includes 23 aircraft carriers, 12 battleships, 26 cruisers, 116 destroyers and escorts, 12 submarines and 185 other vessels. In addition to the American and British ships, there are ships from Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the Netherlands represented.

Though "cease fire" orders were issued on 15-16 August, the fighting forces were uncertain that the Japanese would stop fighting so abruptly after nearly four years of brutal combat. Therefore, the combined U.S. British fleet remained at a high degree of alertness. However, the days passed without serious incident as carrier planes actively patrolled over Japan to monitor the situation and to seek out prisoner of war facilites.

On 27 August, units of the fleet entered Japanese waters for the first time. Guided by local pilots, the ships anchored in Sagami Wan, just outside of Tokyo Bay and within view of Mount Fuji. A day later, some of the fleet went into Tokyo Bay itself, though almost all of the aircraft carriers remained at sea, ready to provide air cover "just in case". Fleet Admiral Nimitz, who had directed much of the Pacific War, arrived on 29 August and made USS South Dakota his flagship. Aboard USS Missouri, which flew Admiral Halsey's flag, preparations were underway to host the formal surrender ceremonies on 2 September.

26 AUGUST IS NATIONAL DOG DAY! GIVE YOUR FURRY BUDDY A PAW SHAKE AND BELLY RUB AND HELP FIND A HOME FOR THOSE IN NEED. Annually celebrated on August 26, it is National Dog Day. This day encourages dog ownership of all breeds, mixed and pure, and embraces the opportunity for all dogs to live a happy, safe and “abuse-free life”. Dogs give us companionship, they keep us safe, they serve in our military and they aid those in need.

It is a goal, for many on National Dog Day, to find homes for all dogs in need of a loving family. The goal of the National Dog Day foundation is to rescue 10,000 dogs each year.

So break out that special treat for your bestest four legged companion(s)and spoil them more than usual today. Remember, there's a reason why DOG is GOD spelled backwards!

We have already posted our remembrance to honor those 13 Americans lost in the Kabul airport attack on 26 August 2021, and while each life lost was a special life, I wanted to take an extra special mention of one of those we lost-U.S. Marine Nicole Gee, 23 years old, from Roseville, California.

Nicole Leeann Herrera was born on May 1, 1998, in Vail, Colorado, but she grew up in Roseville, California and was a graduate of Oakmont High School with a 4.1 GPA, where she played on the school softball team. She met her husband Jarod Gee (a fellow Marine) while in high school, and they were married in a private ceremony in August 2016.

In 2017, Gee enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. She went through recruit training at Parris Island, Infantry School at Camp Lejeune, Aviation Accession and Primary Military Occupational Specialty School in Pensacola, Florida, and Marine Corps Communications and Electronics School in 29 Palms, California. She was assigned to Combat Logistics Battalion 24, Combat Logistics Regiment 27, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, II Marine Expeditionary Force, where she provided maintenance and support of ground electronics transmission systems.

Gee deployed to Afghanistan in support of the withdrawal of allied troops and six day before her death she posted the photo below on social media with the caption, "I love my job." Besides comforting this baby, please note where her Kevlar is- perched on top of that little boy who I'm sure loved the special attention she gave him.

We are Blessed as a nation to have such brave and courageous men and women today - like Nicole - whose service and sacrifice emulate that of our Greatest Generation. God Bless them all who have served and sacrificed, and those who do so today...

Fair winds and following seas, Marine. May The Good Lord hold you close until you are once more in the arms of her loved ones. Your service and sacrifice is not forgotten.

RIP...
