Lillie Marie Johnson clears her mind and closes her eyes and, suddenly, she is back inside the steamy summers of the 1930s, running barefoot over the Appalachian hills and down into the hollers beside her uncle more like a brother, really picking berries and snapping off wildflowers to make bouquets for her Grandma.
As she rocks in her chair in the living room of her home just outside the Ohio River town of Marietta in southeastern Ohio, she snaps open her eyes and realizes that in the here and now, a new and exciting day is coming: Her beloved uncle, Army Pfc. James Wilmer White, is about to be back among the rolling hills of his youth to be buried where he belongs, 77 years after he was killed in action in World War II.

Kachin State farmers are recapturing their land, confiscated under the previous military regime by the Yuzana Company in 2006, after the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) attacked the company’s compound last month, forcing the staff to leave.
According to residents, buildings inside the Yuzana compound in Kachin’s Hpakant Township were being bulldozed by the farmers on Wednesday.
“Yuzana seized our land unlawfully. We have strongly opposed the company and tried to take back our land for years. All the land confiscated by Yuzana has been returned to the farmers,” one of the leaders from the Hukawng farmers’ group told The Irrawaddy. He asked to be anonymous.

Merrill’s Marauders officially Galahad Force or the 5307th Composite Unit (Provi- sional) existed for just one year, from September 1943 to August 1944. In that time, the unit and its men performed some of the most arduous missions asked of an infantry unit in World War II. Their accomplishments left a strong legacy that is visible in the Army of today, most notably as the foundation for the ethos of the 75th Ranger Regiment.Nicknamed “Merrill’s Marauders,” themission was to capture an airport. Some 800 miles through jungle and mountainous terrain and five major battles later, #Merrill‘sMaurauders captured the airport in May 1944 and the city of Myitkyina in August. Christopher L.
