We are very glad to show you one of the most picturesque towns in Sicily, Sciacca, in the province of Agrigento (south of Sicily). This town boasts a long heritage (it has been founded by the ancient Greeks in the 7th century BC but it was inhabited since the Neolithic) and a wide cultural and artistic richness. Sciacca is not only a beautiful town by the sea. It is known as "the museum of 5 senses" because it represents the link between cultural heritage and territorial identity to be enjoyed with all five senses!

Is there a single town in Europe that isn’t steeped in heritage and cultural and artistic richness... and built upon the bones of serfs?

Sweet. The Mitchel B-25 is in the top 3 of my favorite aircraft list.

Worldwide, there are more than 81,600 missing U.S. military personnel, including:

72,350 from World War II,

7,550 from the Korean War

1,584 from the Vietnam War

Over 41,000 of the total are presumed lost at sea............

Having done a bit archaeological excavation, myself, I find it curious that this team apparently found humn remains, but zero dogtags. Those things are nearly indestructible...

Silly me -- I thought those teams worked until they had achieved identification...

Probably one of Lt. Orr's planes. He dropped a lot of them in the Med or the Adriatic. Made it to Sweden though!

Is there a single GGG topic you haven’t polluted with your snarky trolling?

The dogtags may have been removed by the original team in 1943, and got lost because the guy carrying them subsequently got killed. It’s also possible that they left them behind before their flight.

Or, you could just click the little box at the GWJG link, much less trouble, much less time.

Silent service losses, plus surface navy losses, account for about half of the WWII total, if memory serves. The Tomb of the Unknowns got its start after WWI if memory serves, because the remains were so mauled by the weapons of that time, and a lot of soldiers were blown to bits leaving no identifiable remains.

95% of them probably. Take a chill pill.

Five guys who didn't make it into The Lucky Bastard Club Of WW2, of which my first girlfriend's father was a member.
