The table at the restaurant consisted of a framed note, which said the following: We push an empty chair to the table for the missing soldiers who are not here.

    We place a white candle for peace. And finally a red rose in a vase tied with a red ribbon for the hope that all our missing will return someday. You are not forgotten so long as there is one left in whom your memory remains. The owners of these franchises had no idea they were ushering in a nationwide tradition.

    Besides Memorial Day, Storm sets up the table on other major holidays. The retired Navy Commander takes pride in honoring fallen service members. Blackstock was reportedly particularly affected by something someone added to the display at her establishment.

    That empty spot is permanent. We live it every day. A verdant acre jewel at the edge of Downtown Brooklyn, Fort Greene Park's history dates back to its use as a post of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. As both the formal burial site of nearly 12, American Martyrs and bustling greenspace serving nearly , residents of the surrounding neighborhoods, Fort Greene Park may be the closest thing to "sacred space" one can find in New York City. Fort Greene Park is a monument to the American Experiment — a vibrant, diverse public space that gives citizens a place to reflect in a busy, growing city.

    The Fort Greene Park Conservancy is working to preserve and build a future for that experiment. Find something to be proud of in Fort Greene Park today. A Place With Unprecedented History After the Battle of Brooklyn in — the first major battle of the American Revolution — nearly 12, men and women of diverse nationalities were captured by the British in the aftermath of the Continental Army's retreat. Detained on prison ships in Wallabout Bay, these patriots were subjected to dire conditions, succumbing to disease, fatigue, malnourishment, and starvation.

    Artist's impression of the interior of the prison ship Jersey, one of the most notorious in the British Fleet. Though the bodies were eventually transferred to a tomb on the property of a local farmer, widespread sentiment persisted amongst the villagers to find a proper, public resting place more appropriately commemorating a spectacular tribute to American Independence. Twenty years later, the famed architectural team of Olmsted and Vaux was commissioned to prepare a plan for the grounds. Both the landscape we see today and a crypt built into the ancient hillside were included in the plan designed to highlight the site's natural topography and vistas.

    Though Olmsted and Vaux had always intended for a formal monument to the Prison Ship Martyrs to be constructed in Washington Park, lack of funding interrupted its realization. In , the architects McKim, Mead, and White completed the Prison Ship Martyrs Monument — a foot Doric column crowned with a 20 foot bronze urn — as well as a plaza and stairs leading up to it for the recently renamed Fort Greene Park, thus completing the vision of a space appropriately commemorating Brooklyn's contribution to the American odyssey. This Memorial Day, we remember those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom.

    Our thoughts and prayers are with all of those who are grieving. The College also considers itself a trustee of our Western philosophical and theological inheritance tracing to Athens and Jerusalem, a heritage finding its clearest expression in the American experiment of self-government under law. By training the young in the liberal arts, Hillsdale College prepares students to become leaders worthy of that legacy.

    By encouraging the scholarship of its faculty, it contributes to the preservation of that legacy for future generations. By publicly defending that legacy, it enlists the aid of other friends of free civilization and thus secures the conditions of its own survival and independence.

    Viana 16 years old. His first sergeant rousted him from his pup tent around 2 a. Dover and most of the American soldiers rushed to an embankment on what became known as Engineer Hill, the last gasp of the Japanese during the Battle of Attu, fought 75 years ago this month on Attu Island in Alaska's Aleutian chain. Joseph Sasser, then a skinny year-old from Cartharge, Mississippi, also found himself perched against the berm on Engineer Hill when a captain with a rifle took up a position about 10 feet away.

    American forces reclaimed remote Attu Island on May 30, , after a day campaign that is known as World War II's forgotten battle. Much of the fighting was hand-to-hand, waged in dense fog and winds of up to mph. The battle for the Aleutian island was one of the deadliest in the Pacific in terms of the percentage of troops killed. Nearly all the Japanese forces, estimated at about 2, soldiers, died with only 28 survivors. About or so US soldiers were killed. American forces, many poorly outfitted for Alaska weather and trained in California for desert combat, recaptured Attu 11 months after the Japanese took it and a nearby island, Kiska.

    The Japanese staged a last-ditch, desperate offensive May 29 at Engineer Hill. About Japanese soldiers died in the assault, and the remaining or so held grenades to their bellies and pulled the pins. It was the first official case of "gyokusai," a Japanese euphemism for annihilation or mass suicide in the name of Emperor Hirohito, which increasingly occurred in other Japanese battlefields. Tomimatsu Takahashi told Japanese public television network NHK in he was being treated for a bullet wound when the order for the final charge came.

    But as he headed out to fight, he collapsed, likely because he hadn't eaten in days. He was captured and sent to several mainland POW camps — including in Seattle, San Francisco, and Chicago — before he returned home to Japan's Iwate prefecture in I thought I survived because I was not lucky. I felt I was not supposed to come back, because those who went to war were not supposed to come back, and that's what we were taught. After the battle, Dover said things went back to normal for the American soldiers — except one thing: During the war, the US Army buried the Japanese soldiers' bodies with care, built a memorial, set up a grave post and paid respects to the spirits, said Nobuyuki Yamazaki, whose grandfather died on Attu.

    Yamazaki was among a delegation of Japanese soldiers' descendants who attended a 75th anniversary celebration this month in Anchorage. The families have formally petitioned the Japanese government to have the remains returned, Anchorage television station KTVA reported. The Aleut people living on Attu Island also suffered losses, becoming the only North American community to be imprisoned in Japan during the war, according to the book "Attu: While Kiska was unpopulated, about 45 Aleuts lived on Attu Island. When Japanese forces invaded, the Aleuts were captured and sent to Japan's Hokkaido Island, where about half died, most from malnutrition or starvation.

    The survivors never returned to Attu. The Army said it would be too expensive to rebuild their village, and they were relocated after the war. The battle over Attu proved to be unimportant to the rest of the war, possibly why it's forgotten today. However, American planes did use the island to bomb the northernmost reaches of Japan.

    And author and historian Cloe, who died in , told the AP in that the Army learned much about amphibious landings and Japanese tactics from the battle. Seventy-five years later, year-old Allan Seroll of Massachusetts, who worked in communications including Morse code for the Army Signal Corps, still carries the burden of the Battle of Attu. That's how much it affected me and still does.

    Indomitable as ever, British intelligence intercepted all three messages and broke the "unbreakable" German code.. First the British waited to see if renewed submarine warfare would push Wilson into the war. Finally they gave him the message - with the cover story that one of their spies had stolen it from the Germans in Mexico. Wilson was livid; Germany had used America's own cable against her. But many citizens believed the message was fake. How could its authenticity be proven without jeopardizing the code breakers?
