January 24, 1965 - Winston Churchill (1874-1965) passed away. He had been Britains wartime prime minister whose courageous leadership and defiant rhetoric had fortified the British during their long struggle against Hitlers Germany. I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat, he stated upon becoming prime minister at the beginning of the war. He called Hitlers Reich a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime. Following the war, he coined the term Iron Curtain to describe the barrier between areas in Eastern Europe under Soviet Russias control and the free West. January 24, 1972 - Japanese soldier Shoichi Yokoi was discovered on Guam after he had spent 28 years hiding out in the jungle not knowing World War II had long since ended.
