The first shoe still contained its heel area after being
buried for around 2,000 years.

(FOX NEWS) – Volunteers were baffled recently when they
unearthed not one but two ancient shoes at a historic British
site.

The discoveries were made at Magna, an Ancient Roman fort
in Northumberland, in late May. The Roman Army Museum,
located near the fort in Brampton, made the announcement.

Photographs show volunteers holding the remarkably preserved
leather shoes, which have maintained their form despite being
buried for 2,000 years.

The second shoe surprised onlookers with its size, which is roughly equal to a U.S. men’s size 14.

(FOX NEWS) – Lynn Hamilton, the actress known for her roles

Hamilton died due to natural causes on Thursday, June 19th,

On June 22, 1944, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed
the G.I. Bill, an unprecedented act of legislation designed to
compensate returning members of the armed services—known
as G.I.s—for their efforts in World War II.

As the last of its sweeping New Deal reforms, Roosevelt’s
administration created the G.I. Bill (officially the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944) hoping to avoid a relapse into the
Great Depression after the war ended.

Over 50 years, the impact of the G.I. Bill was enormous, with
20 million veterans and dependents using the education
benefits and 14 million home loans guaranteed, for a total
federal investment of $67 billion.

During World War II, the U.S. 10th Army overcame the last major
pockets of Japanese resistance on Okinawa Island, ending one
of the bloodiest battles of World War II.
