KIDNAPPED BABY FOUND DESEASED IN 1932

Lindbergh Baby Kidnapped Newspaper Original The Boston Herald | Etsy

The body of aviation hero Charles Lindbergh’s baby was found
on May 12, 1932, more than two months after
he was kidnapped
from his family’s Hopewell, New Jersey, mansion.

Lindbergh, who became the first worldwide celebrity five years
earlier when he flew The Spirit of St. Louis
across the Atlantic,
and his wife Anne Morrow Lindbergh discovered a ransom note
in their 20-month-old child’s empty room on March 1.

The kidnapper had used a ladder to climb up to the open second-
floor window and had left muddy footprints in the room. In barely
legible English, the ransom note demanded $50,000.

from protesters, yep, spitting on anti-spitting signs.

BLOODY BATTLE BEGAN ON THIS DAY

Hell on Hamburger Hill | HistoryNet

On May 11, 1969, Hamburger Hill became the scene of an
intense and controversial battle during the
Vietnam War.

Known to military planners as Hill 937 (a reference to its
height in meters), the solitary peak is located in the dense
jungles of the A Shau Valley of Vietnam, about a mile from
the border with Laos.

The Vietnamese referred to the hill as “the mountain of the
crouching beast.”

Though the hill had no real tactical significance, taking the
hill was part of Operation Apache Snow, a U.S. military sweep
of the A Shau Valley.

The purpose of the operation was to cut off North Vietnamese
infiltration from Laos and enemy threats to the cities of Hue
and Da Nang.
