Seems during WW2 one of our guys was manning a rooftop AA gun near the Lincoln Memorial...In an effort to impress his girlfriend by letting her sit in his lap while manning the gun ...She mistakenly launched a blast that took out “Massachusetts” on the Lincoln Memorial facade..
It was immediately hushed up and classified as Top Secret and not declassified in till years later!..I think in the 70’s
(the final plight of the poor solider was unknown!
