Milton Berle (Mendel Berlinger)
(July 12, 1908 – March 27, 2002)

Berle was an actor and comedian. His career 
spanned over eight decades, first in silent
films and on stage as a child actor, then in
radio, movies and television. 
 

As the host of NBC‘s Texaco Star Theatre
(1948–1953), he was the first major television
star and was known to millions of viewers as
"Uncle Miltie" and "Mr. Television" during the
first Golden Age of Television.

He was honored with two stars on the Hollywood
Walk of Fame for his work in both radio and TV.

The singers retirement from the stage was announced via a
Facebook post on Wednesday (March 26), which notes that
all shows scheduled after June 2025 will be canceled, as his
final show will take place May 18 at the Bergan Performing
Arts Center in Englewood, NJ.

The west Pacific volcanic island of Iwo Jima was declared
secured by the U.S. military after weeks of fiercely fighting
its Japanese defenders.

The Americans began applying pressure to the Japanese
defense of Iwo Jima in February 1944, when B-24 and B-25
bombers raided the island for 74 days straight.

When all was done, more than 6,000 Marines died fighting for the
island, along with almost all the 21,000 Japanese soldiers trying
to defend it.
