Thanks to Cowboy…..As you probably know I can't attach movies and other type of similar things to the List because they push the bytes over the limit for each list and the price would go through the roof. If we have the url then it is doable. He found the music to the following by the same group that was in the movie file. Here it is and there are a couple related for your listening pleasure. It is very entertaining and I never knew how they made those unique sounds until now.

75th Anniversary of World War II: USS Franklin (CV-13)
The Spanish Influenza Epidemic of 1918–19
Overview
This H-gram tells the story of the carrier Franklin (CV-13), which suffered the greatest damage and highest casualties of any U.S. ship that did not sink, as well as an update tracking with the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War, and a reprise of my 2018 H-gram article on the Spanish influenza epidemic of 1918–19.
75th Anniversary of World War II
USS Franklin (CV-13)
On the morning of 19 March 1945, the aircraft carrier Franklin (CV-13), operating 50 nautical miles off the Japanese coast, was in the process of launching a major strike against Japanese naval vessels in port Kure, Japan, when a Japanese dive-bomber dropped out of the overcast and scored two direct hits with bombs. The result was devastating as the fully fueled and armed Navy and Marine aircraft on the flight deck and hanger deck contributed to over 120 secondary explosions that turned Franklin into a raging inferno virtually from stem to stern. In probably the most heroic damage control effort in the history of the United States Navy (there are other contenders but not on this scale), Franklin's crew saved her despite catastrophic damage. It was the worst fire that any U.S. warship ever survived. Over 800 of Franklin's crew were killed and over 400 wounded. No ship in the history of the U.S. Navy had suffered more casualties and survived. In fact, when combined with three previous hits by bombs and a kamikaze, Franklin suffered more dead than any other U.S. ship except Arizona (BB-39) at Pearl Harbor. Nevertheless, by the next day, Franklin was once again under her own power and returned to the United States for repair.
For their valor in saving their ship, the crew of Franklin and personnel of Air Group FIVE were awarded two Medals of Honor, 19 Navy Crosses, 22 Silver Stars, 116 Bronze Stars, and 235 Letters of Commendation, along with 808 posthumous Purple Hearts and an additional 347 Purple Hearts to survivors. One of the Medals of Honor was awarded to Franklin's Catholic chaplain, Lieutenant Commander Joseph O'Callahan, for not only ministering to the dying, but for organizing and leading damage control parties in fighting fires, jettisoning live ordnance, and preventing a magazine explosion. O'Callahan was the first Catholic chaplain in any service to receive a Medal of Honor, and the first chaplain in the U.S. Navy to be so distinguished (during the Vietnam conflict, Lieutenant Vincent Capodanno was the second in the Navy). The other Medal of Honor was awarded to Lieutenant (j.g.) Donald Gary, a 30-year prior-enlisted Sailor in the engineering department, for finding an escape route and then organizing and leading over 300 men trapped below to comparative safety. Navy Crosses were awarded to the commanding officer, Captain Leslie Gehres (the first prior-enlisted "mustang" to rise to command of a carrier), along with the executive officer and the navigator among others. The skippers of the light cruiser Santa Fe (CL-60) and destroyer Miller (DD-535) were also awarded the Navy Cross for daringly bringing their ships right alongside Franklin to render assistance.

50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War
"Sojourn Through Hell"—Vietnamization and U.S. Navy Prisoners of War, 1969–70
The U.S. and South Vietnamese incursion into Cambodia in April 1970 destroyed and captured massive quantities of stockpiled North Vietnamese arms and ammunition. It also provoked intense domestic political backlash in the United States. This included massive anti-war rallies (over 100,000 in Washington, DC, and San Francisco), and student protests on campuses across the country, notably the one at Kent State in which Ohio National Guardsmen fired on student protesters, killing two of them and two more students who weren't involved. Over the next months, about 30 ROTC buildings on campuses would be burned or bombed in protest. For much of the U.S. population, the Nixon adminstration's stated policy of "Vietnamization" of the war couldn't happen fast enough. Meanwhile, several hundred U.S. prisoners of war, mostly downed aviators, languished in North Vietnamese prisons, subject to brutal interrogations and torture. Of 178 U.S. Navy personnel captured during the entire course of the war, 36 died.
The severe treatment of U.S. prisoners of war became somewhat less so in the fall of 1969, due in significant part to the actions of the senior U.S. Navy POW, Captain James B. Stockdale, and the most junior Navy POW, Seaman Apprentice Douglas B. Hegdahl. Believing Hegdahl to be illiterate and "incredibly stupid," the North Vietnamese released him as a propaganda ploy in August 1969, completely unaware that Hegdahl had memorized the names and key information of 256 American POWs. Hegdahl was ordered by senior POWs to accept early release (despite his initial refusal) in order to get this vital data back to U.S. authorities, as well as to provide detailed confirmation of the North Vietnamese use of torture, which the United States subsequently used against North Vietnam at the Paris Peace Talks.
Meanwhile, the North Vietnamese tried yet again to break the will of Captain Stockdale, who they viewed as the key leader of U.S. POW resistance to being used in North Vietnamese propaganda efforts. In September 1969, rather than risk submission in yet another round of extremely painful torture, Stockdale inflicted near-mortal wounds on himself that were intended to convince the North Vietnamese of his willingness to die before he would submit, an action for which he would be awarded the Medal of Honor after the POWs' release in 1973. Between Stockdale's determined resistance and Hegdahl's embarrassing revelations, the North Vietnamese began to reach the conclusion that torture was counter-productive. Although psychological torment of the POWs, as well as occasional beatings, continued with no end in sight, deliberate torture largely ceased for the duration of the war,

This Day in U S Military History
1851 – Yosemite Valley was discovered (by non-natives) in California. The 58 men of the Mariposa Battalion under Major James D. Savage were the first whites to enter Yosemite Valley. Their first view of the valley was from the plateau later named Mount Beatitude. They expelled Chief Tenaya and his band of Ahwahneechee Indians. Dr. Bunnell, a physician in the battalion, named the valley Yosemite to honor the local Indians. He did not realize that the word "yohemeti" meant "some of them are killers" and was an insult against the valley people.
1945 – US Task Force 58 (Admiral Mitscher) is replenishing in preparation for operations around Okinawa. The Japanese 5th Air Force deploys the first Ohka piloted rocket bombs, slung under Misubishi bombers, against the American fleet. The flight of 18 aircraft is intercepted by carrier aircraft and all but one are shot down. Admiral Spruance, command the US 5th Fleet, is present for the operations.
1953 – U.S. Air Force Captains Manuel J. Fernandez, Jr., 4th Fighter-Interceptor Wing, and Harold Fischer, 51st Fighter-Interceptor Wing, qualified as the fourth and fifth "double aces" of the war. An ace has shot down five enemy aircraft; a double ace, 10.
1980 – President Jimmy Carter informs a group of U.S. athletes that, in response to the December 1979 Soviet incursion into Afghanistan, the United States will boycott the 1980 Olympics in Moscow. It marked the first and only time that the United States has boycotted the Olympics. After the Soviet Union intervened in Afghanistan in December 1979 to prop up an unstable pro-Soviet government, the United States reacted quickly and sharply. It suspended arms negotiations with the Soviets, condemned the Russian action in the United Nations, and threatened to boycott the Olympics to be held in Moscow in 1980. When the Soviets refused to withdraw their troops from Afghanistan, President Carter finalized his decision to boycott the games. On March 21, 1980, he met with approximately 150 U.S. athletes and coaches to explain his decision. He told the crowd, "I understand how you feel," and recognized their intense disappointment. However, Carter defended his action, stating, "What we are doing is preserving the principles and the quality of the Olympics, not destroying it." Many of the athletes were devastated by the news. As one stated, "As citizens, it is an easy decision to make-support the president. As athletes, it is a difficult decision." Others declared that the president was politicizing the Olympics. Most of the athletes only reluctantly supported Carter's decision. The U.S. decision to boycott the 1980 Olympic games had no impact on Soviet policy in Afghanistan (Russian troops did not withdraw until nearly a decade later), but it did tarnish the prestige of the games in Moscow. It was not the first time that Cold War diplomacy insinuated itself into international sports. The Soviet Union had refused to play Chile in World Cup soccer in 1973 because of the overthrow and death of Chile's leftist president earlier that year. Even the playing field was not immune from Cold War tensions
1984 – A Soviet submarine crashed into the USS Kitty Hawk off the coast of Japan.
1991 – Two US Navy anti-submarine planes collided and 27 were lost at sea.
Medal of Honor Citations for Actions Taken This Day
*HOSKING, CHARLES ERNEST, JR.
Rank and organization: Master Sergeant, U.S. Army, Company A, 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne), 1st Special Forces. Place and date: Phuoc Long Province, Republic of Vietnam, 21 March 1967. Entered service at: Fort Dix, N.J. Born: 12 May 1924, Ramsey, N.J. Citation: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. M/Sgt. Hosking (then Sfc.), Detachment A-302, Company A, greatly distinguished himself while serving as company advisor in the III Corps Civilian Irregular Defense Group Reaction Battalion during combat operations in Don Luan District. A Viet Cong suspect was apprehended and subsequently identified as a Viet Cong sniper. While M/Sgt. Hosking was preparing the enemy for movement back to the base camp, the prisoner suddenly grabbed a hand grenade from M/Sgt. Hosking's belt, armed the grenade, and started running towards the company command group which consisted of 2 Americans and 2 Vietnamese who were standing a few feet away. Instantly realizing that the enemy intended to kill the other men, M/Sgt. Hosking immediately leaped upon the Viet Cong's back. With utter disregard for his personal safety, he grasped the Viet Cong in a "Bear Hug" forcing the grenade against the enemy soldier's chest. He then wrestled the Viet Cong to the ground and covered the enemy's body with his body until the grenade detonated. The blast instantly killed both M/Sgt. Hosking and the Viet Cong. By absorbing the full force of the exploding grenade with his body and that of the enemy, he saved the other members of his command group from death or serious injury. M/Sgt. Hosking's risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty are in the highest tradition of the U.S. Army and reflect great credit upon himself and the Armed Forces of his country.
*JOHNSTON, DONALD R.
Rank and organization: Specialist Fourth Class, U.S. Army, Company D, 1st Battalion, 8th Cavalry, 1st Cavalry Division. Place and date: Tay Ninh Province, Republic of Vietnam, 21 March 1969. Entered service at: Columbus, Ga. Born: 19 November 1947, Columbus, Ga. Citation: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. Sp4c. Johnston distinguished himself while serving as a mortarman with Company D, at a fire support base in Tay Ninh Province. Sp4c. Johnston's company was in defensive positions when it came under a devastating rocket and mortar attack. Under cover of the bombardment, enemy sappers broke through the defensive perimeter and began hurling explosive charges into the main defensive bunkers. Sp4c. Johnston and 6 of his comrades had moved from their exposed positions to 1 of the bunkers to continue their fight against the enemy attackers. As they were firing from the bunker, an enemy soldier threw 3 explosive charges into their position. Sensing the danger to his comrades, Sp4c. Johnston, with complete disregard for his safety, hurled himself onto the explosive charges, smothering the detonations with his body and shielding his fellow soldiers from the blast. His heroic action saved the lives of 6 of his comrades. Sp4c. Johnston's concern for his fellow men at the cost of his life were in the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the U.S. Army.

1916: The French Air Department authorized Escadrille Americaine, or Nieuport 124, for American volunteer pilots. It later became the Lafayette Escadrille. (5) (20)
1939: Col Hugo E. Pitz, Lt Col Joseph T. McNarney, and Maj Karl S. Axtator and Maj George C. Kenney selected sites for permanent air base and auxiliary landing fields in Puerto Rico. (24)
1945: A massive four-day assault involving 42,000 sorties against the Luftwaffe started over German airspace. It effectively ended German air activities in World War II. (4)
1950: SECDEF Louis A. Johnson approved JCS recommendations on missiles to give: (1) the Army and Navy responsibility for surface-to-air missiles with a range more than antiaircraft artillery and short-range surface-to-surface missiles used in place of artillery and naval guns; (2) the USAF and Navy responsibility for air-launched and surface-to-air missiles for interceptor aircraft; (3) the Navy responsibility for surface-to-surface missiles that replaced naval aircraft; (4) the Army and USAF responsibility for surface-to-surface missiles that replaced close support aircraft, and (5) the USAF responsibility for surface-to-surface missiles that replaced strategic aircraft. (6)
1957: Cmdr Dale W. Cox, Jr., flew an A3D-1 Skywarrior to two FAI cross county records: New York to Los Angeles in 5 hours 12 minutes 39 seconds at 469 MPH; and a round trip in 9 hours 31 minutes 35 seconds at 513 MPH. (9) Presque Isle AFB selected as the first Snark base. (6)
1958: Holloman high-speed test track established new speed record of 2,704 MPH for rocket-propelled monorail sleds. (5)
1962: A black bear named "Yogi" became the first living creature ejected from a supersonic aircraft when the USAF tested the B-58's escape capsule. Ejected at 35,000 feet from a B-58 flying at 870 MPH, the bear landed unharmed 7 minutes 49 seconds later. (16) (24)
1965: Ranger IX, a 10-foot, an 800-pound spacecraft and the last of the series, launched from Cape Kennedy and impacted within 4 miles of the target area on the moon in the crater Alphonsus on 24 March. It sent back the first TV pictures from the moon and took 5,814 photos of the moon's surface. This flight ended a program that began in 1961. Ranger VI was the first to hit the moon, but its TV cameras failed. Rangers VII, VIII, and IX sent 17,167 good photos back to earth. (5)
1973: Two Libyan Mirage aircraft intercepted and fired upon an unarmed C-130 Hercules from Rhein Main AB. The C-130, reportedly on a reconnaissance mission over the Mediterranean, successfully evaded its attackers and recovered safely at Athenai Airport, Greece. (16) (26)
1975: Following the crash of a C-141 (64-0641) into Mt. Constance in the Olympic Mountains near Seattle, Wash., ARRS personnel assisted in the recovery of 10 crewmen and 6 passengers and equipment from the wreckage through June. (26)
1989: NASA ended the Mission Adaptive Wing test program and retired the special F-111 to the Flight Test Center Museum at Edwards AFB. In its 144.9 test hours and 59 sorties, the F-111 showed a 25 percent increase in range, an 18 percent increase in G-loading, and a 71 percent increase in its ability to pull up and clear an obstacle. (20)
1997: Lt Col Marcelyn A. Atwood became the first woman to command a flying training squadron and the first USAF officer to command a Navy squadron at Pensacola, Fla. Her unit trained Air Force and Navy pilots. (21)
2007: A KC-135 flew from Bagram AB, Afghanistan, on the first non-stop medical evacuation flight of non-critical patients to Ramstein AB, Germany. Previously, C-130s transported these noncritical patients without life-threatening injuries to a classified airfield in the US Central Command's area of responsibility (AOR), where they typically waited a day or two for a medical evacuation to Ramstein by C-17. This policy change enabled in-theater C-17s to continue delivering cargo and equipment to airfields in the AOR without interrupting the airflow. By early 2007, security at the classified staging base allowed KC-135s to land and take off for "frequency" aeromedical evacuation missions. The new policy transformed a former aeromedical evacuation "spoke" activity performed by C-130s and C-17s into a "hub" system supported by KC-135 operating in an aeromedical evacuation role.

Thanks to Mike
Good morning, Skip. There's a feed on the internet (Quora), not sure exactly what it is, but it has an aviation section (along with cars, women in beautiful clothes, etc.). Someone asked a question, and an Air Force pilot responded. I thought it was an excellent response.
Mike
If you join the Air Force, Navy, or Marines to become a fighter pilot you're likely an idiot. Perhaps a well intentioned idiot, but still. If you want to fly fighters, the AF, Navy, and Marines all have a path to get there, but you could easily find yourself flying another aircraft type, or not even flying at all and doing some other specialty based on factors outside your control. There are some bespoke approaches to military service that get you the best odds of flying a fighter jet (Air National Guard hires), but even then "shit happens" and you might find yourself doing something else. Ask all the ANG pilots whose units were converted to non flying missions.
My point here is you join the military out of a desire to serve. If you're not willing to do the most unglamorous, beat the shit out of you job the military offers, joining because you want to go fast and wear a leather jacket is a fools errand. Your eyes, inner ear, or numerous other faculties can disappoint you very early on in the aviation pipeline, and then you're left with an obligation to spend 4, 6, or 8 years in the military. And there is a lot of need for good officers in all specialties, from the special ops types who shoot guns and jump out of airplanes to the maintenance guys that engage in hand to hand combat with jet engines and sheet metal. If you get to fly, period, you're lucky. It's a special brotherhood and sisterhood that wears wings and the bag, and regardless of what you do being a military aviator is a proud profession.
What the US military is in need of is people who will say "Roger, I've got this," whether "this" is bombing a target, fixing a jet, or building a briefing to convince some asshole in a suit to give us the money we need to fight wars. Flying jets is cool, and if you get to do it in any capacity you're one of the few. But it also can bring a lot of suck—-deployments and TDYs away from family, beating the shit out of your body, and perhaps losing friends. I've sweat thru a lot of flight suits and dealt with a lot of aches and pains from knocking around in old jets in hot places. And I missed my best friend's wedding, where I was the best man, because I was in Afghanistan. My grandfather died when I was on another deployment and I couldn't be there for my mom. I don't regret those things, because I'm first an foremost an officer who took an oath, and I believe in serving the United States.
I don't fly fighters. I joined the Air Force and they put me in the air out of dumb luck. My first trip to the middle east I saw a lot of flag draped coffins getting loaded on aircraft and it became very obvious, very fast, that I was part of something a lot bigger than any desire I had to be some kind of Hollywood character. I decided to do whatever I could to keep dudes alive, dudes who liked football, baseball, shooting guns, drinking beer and all the same shit I liked from ending up in a fucking GI box, be that flying a plane or arguing to the staff in the bowels of the Pentagon.
Watch Top Gun if you want a fighter pilot fantasy. If you want to do something about bad shit in the world and find your place in the long war, raise your rights hand and kick ass wherever you end up.
