Air Force Enlisted Heritage Research Institute's Post

Today we remember the incredible bravery of Sgt. Theodore R. Hamlin, a combat radio operator, who was awarded the Air Force Cross for his heroic actions on October 25, 1969, in Vietnam.

While trying to coordinate the evacuation of several wounded soldiers in the dense Vietnamese jungle, Sgt. Hamlin was hit by enemy gunfire. Despite his injuries, he refused to give up, making radio contact with rescuers and guiding them to safety.

Rather than leaving with the wounded, Sgt. Hamlin stayed behind, helping to carry soldiers to the rescue helicopter and choosing to fight alongside his comrades for the rest of the night. His selflessness and courage are an inspiration to us all.

A bloody battle, president mourned and a major Boilermaker change: Mohawk Valley history

1777, 246 years ago

A bloody battle

The Battle of Oriskany pitted British forces against American militiamen during the Revolutionary War. It was one of the bloodiest — if not the bloodiest — battles of the war.

When: Aug. 6 (246 years ago today) on a Wednesday in 1777, between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Weather: Hot, humid with a heavy rain shower beginning about 11 a.m. and lasting for an hour.

Where: Six miles east of Fort Stanwix (today's Rome). (The fort was called Fort Schuyler at the time. It had been built by the British in 1758 and named Stanwix after the British general who built it. When the American army took it over during the war, they renamed it after an American general, Philip Schuyler. But the old name has persisted.)

British forces: About 700 strong made up of 500 Iroquois (mostly Seneca and Mohawk warriors), Loyalist rangers and the King's Royal Regiment of New York. Led by Mohawk chief Joseph Brant, Col. John Butler and Sir John Johnson.

American forces: 760 me
