My great grampa Earl Simpsion or his army name was "moe" served in ww2 as a part of the outfit the 9th army airforce. His job was to load 50 cal. machine guns onto a P-47 thunderbolt. His rank was a CPL. He died in august of 1987.

Also my great grandmother was a "rosie the riviter" she made liftrafts for the navy. Her name was Evelyn G. Garlock and she worked for Firestone rubber company. But sadly on Feb.25 2007 she passed away from old age. She was 97 years old and had SEVEN great-grandchildren including myself. So to conclude this ww2 wed. I would like to thank every veteren that has fought in ww2 or any war for that matter. O and if any of you have family that is a veteren please comment so I can thank them personally for thier service hope you liked it bye!

Presidency misnomer.

O.k. I was looking though my magical book of wierd CW facts and I found something QUITE interesting. Did you know that Ulysses S. Grant is not the famous president's real name? His real name was Hiram Ulysses Grant! See when the congressmen mistankenly listed as Ulysses SIMPSON Grant when apponting him to West Point. And guess what the name stuck with him to the presidency!
