The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Drought in Europe Exposing World War II Munitions on the Banks of the Rhine-- Part 1

From the August 12, 2022, The Mayor.

This week the City of Bonn, Germany, announced that die to the heat wave and  drought in Germany, that the  water level of the Rhine Rive had dropped significantly and as a result, old WW II munitions and grenades were exposed.  

The city is asking residents not to go walking in the newly exposed areas, nor pick up anything they find.  If they see something suspicious they are to contact authorities.

The City of Bonn was captured by the U.S. 1st Division between 8 and 9 March 1945 during the Battle of Remagen, fought between March 7 and 25.
