When Japanese planes attacked Pearl Harbor on the morning of Dec. 7, 1941, Philip M. Rasmussen was a 23-year-old second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Air Corps. Assigned to the 46th Pursuit Squadron at Wheeler Field on the island of Oahu, he was one of the few American pilots to get into the air while enemy planes were still in the skies over Hawaii. Rasmussen, who would be awarded a Silver Star for his actions that day, went on to fly many other combat missions in World War II, including a bombing run over Japan, for which he later received the Distinguished Flying Cross.Following assignments in the Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East, Rasmussen became the chief of operations at Eglin Air Force Base, and he retired in 1965 with the rank of lieutenant colonel. He died in 2005 at age 86 and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.The following narrative is adapted from an oral history interview with Rasmussen that was conducted in 1991.I entered into flight training in September of 1940. I completed my training [at] the end of April ’41 and then immediately was transferred to my first assignment, which was to Wheeler Field. Our mission was…

Here at GunSpot, we use an XD-M Elite Tactical OSP for our videos and it’s one sweet piece. With the flared magwell, threaded barrel, suppressor sights and our U.S. Optics DRS 2.0 mounted, it’s a sharp-looking gun. A solid pistol like the XD-M Elite from Springfield Armory deserves a great weaponlight like the Surefire X300 Ultra. The last piece to the tactical set-up would be adding a weapon-mounted light. For that we decided on the X300 Ultra from Surefire. The X300U-A ultra-high-output LED weaponlight has a tight 1,000 lumen beam which is perfect for tactical use, and it fits nicely onto the rail of the XD-M Elite 9mm. In the video above, Grant LaVelle gives some tips on employing a weaponlight at night. After getting this light in, we decided to do a video about how to use a weapon-mounted light on your pistol in a tactical way — basically, in a way that won’t lead to you getting shot. Like all things, there is a correct technique to this, and what is normally depicted on television and in the movies is wrong. Check out the video at top and keep reading the article below. Grant suggests a light with both a…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! One American winemaking family believes exceptional wine doesn’t require shortcuts.After decades of quiet persistence in their trade, global recognition recently arrived for Maysara Winery, located in the rolling hills of Oregon wine country. It currently ranks as the No. 23 vineyard worldwide.”We were informed we were chosen [to be among] the top 50 vineyards in the world,” founder Moe Momtazi told Fox News Digital in an interview. NASHVILLE’S HIDDEN ‘WINE COUNTRY’ PROVIDES TASTE OF TENNESSEE IN WHISKEY BARRELSHis middle daughter, Naseem Momtazi, president of sales, said, “You can have beautiful American-made, quality-made wines coming from an actual family, an actual farm and an actual story.”The winery has partnered with the Fox News Wine Shop on a 2017 pinot noir. Even so, when Moe Momtazi talks about his life, he starts not in Oregon — but in the turmoil of post-revolution Iran. His story of escape, new life in America and, ultimately, a winemaking philosophy rooted in heritage and health, became the foundation for Maysara Winery.Though he came to the U.S. in 1971 to study engineering, his life took a dramatic spin after he returned to Iran in the late 1970s. “Things got pretty…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Five decades after Martha Moxley, the daughter of an affluent Connecticut family, was found murdered outside her home, the Kennedy cousin formerly at the center of the case is speaking out for the first time.Michael Skakel, cousin of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., spent 11 years behind bars for the 1975 murder of Moxley. Despite being released from prison in 2013 and later having his conviction vacated, Skakel is still looking to assert his innocence in a case that has captivated the nation. In the new NBC News podcast titled, “Dead Certain: The Martha Moxley Murder,” Skakel spoke publicly at length for the first time since his conviction was overturned to recount his upbringing and explain his side of the murder case. Moxley was only 15 when she was beaten and stabbed to death with a golf club in the yard of her family’s suburban Greenwich home on Oct. 30, 1975. She was last seen hanging out with friends on “Mischief Night,” an annual evening in which children partake in neighborhood pranks on the night before Halloween. KENNEDY COUSIN TIED TO MARTHA MOXLEY CASE BREAKS SILENCE 50 YEARS LATER AS MURDER REMAINS UNSOLVED An autopsy later…

The ability to monitor outside activity from behind locked doors, or while away, is a decided safety advantage. Unfortunately, criminals have developed tactics to defeat the modestly priced devices. A new twist surfaced in Rocky River, OH, in October 2024. Law enforcement was notified after a mailman noticed multiple homes on his route had their video doorbells covered with blue tape. None of the residents reported anything suspicious beforehand, hinting that the culprit may have been a seemingly routine visitor. Cameras were cleaned, patrols stepped up and incidents didn’t increase. Homes that left their cameras blind were readily identified targets. There are other ways to disable a lone camera and its motion-detection capability. Mother Nature can even be the culprit when a storm takes down power—along with Wi-Fi routers—and criminals prowl the dark. Thankfully there’s an inexpensive solution.  Trail cams have been a favorite among hunters for decades, and Moultrie has been a leader in the realm since 1998. In 2007, the company introduced the industry’s first cellular-capable unit. Instead of multiple trips afield to change memory cards, it launched a revolution of images and video streaming to screens miles away. Battery powered and designed for discreet placement, they blend…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! As tensions rise between Washington and the Maduro regime, experts told Fox News Digital that Venezuela’s military may look formidable on paper but is hollowed out by years of corruption, decay and political control. While they say Venezuela cannot stop a determined U.S. strike, any broader operation would be far more complicated than the White House suggests.Isaias Medina, an international lawyer and former Venezuelan diplomat who denounced his own government at the International Criminal Court, described Venezuela as a criminalized state dominated by narcotrafficking networks.”Venezuela today resembles a fortress built on sand wrapped around a criminal regime,” he said, adding that any hypothetical U.S. action would be “evicting a terrorist cartel that settled next door and not invading a country.”Medina warned that Venezuela’s dense civilian population — also victimized by the regime — demands extreme caution. “The only acceptable approach is overwhelming bias toward restraint and longer operational timelines, forgoing targets that cannot be struck cleanly.”TRUMP PUSHES PEACE IN EUROPE, PRESSURE IN THE AMERICAS — INSIDE THE TWO-FRONT GAMBLE He said the military’s capabilities look better on paper than reality, with equipment rusting from lack of maintenance and thousands of politically appointed…

Early one morning in fall 1941 Takeo Yoshikawa encoded a brusque telegram for the Japanese foreign ministry’s home office in Tokyo. In its entirety, the message read: “Details unclear.” It was an admission of failure, and Yoshikawa’s apparent testiness is easy to understand. The 27-year-old intelligence officer had spent much of the previous evening submerged in the shallows of Oahu’s Mamala sey, attempting to study submarine barriers at the entrance to Pearl Harbor, only to come away with nothing but a deep chill.His superiors in Japan had ordered him to get information on the barriers’ dimensions, formidability, and operation. Lacking any other source for the information and unable to view the underwater apparatus from afar, he decided to make an exploratory dive. To look like a local, or perhaps a Filipino laborer, he approached Ewa Beach shoeless, through a thick growth of elms. The undergrowth tore at his bare arms and the rocky, volcanic soil cut his feet. After dodging a Marine putting out his laundry, Yoshikawa made it to the water’s edge.In the encroaching evening, the water was smooth as glass. Any disturbance of the surface would be immediately apparent. Despite his misgivings and the sting of the saltwater…
