RosieAliceShirley Trudy Rosie 2 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: ROSIE Answer: Rosie the Riveter was the star of a campaign aimed at recruiting female workers for defense industries during World War II, and she became perhaps the most iconic image of working women. American women entered the workforce in unprecedented numbers during the war, as widespread male enlistment left gaping holes in the industrial labor force. Between 1940 and 1945, the female percentage of the U.S. workforce increased from 27 percent to nearly 37 percent, and by 1945 nearly one out of every four married women worked outside the home.

LoganAbraham LincolnDouglas MacArthur John A Logan!! 18 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: JOHN A. LOGAN Answer: Memorial Day honors all American soldiers who died in defense of the nation. One man, General John A. Logan, deserves much of the credit for the establishment of Memorial Day as a national holiday. Following the Civil War, Logan was instrumental in the founding of the Grand Army of the Republic, a veterans group comprised of former Union Army soldiers, and served as the group’s national commander. On March 3, 1868, Logan issued General Order No. 11, which called for a national day of remembrance for the soldiers killed in the Civil War. This order served as the basis for what became the national holiday of Memorial Day.

Lincoln MemorialStatue of LibertyMount RushmoreThe Liberty Bell Lincoln Memorial 19 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: LINCOLN MEMORIAL Answer: The Lincoln Memorial is a national memorial built to honor the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. The building is in the form of a Greek Doric temple and contains a large seated sculpture of Abraham Lincoln and inscriptions of two well-known speeches by Lincoln, The Gettysburg Address and his second inaugural address. William H. Taft – who was then Chief Justice of the United States – dedicated it on Memorial Day in 1922, and presented it to President Warren G. Harding, who accepted it on behalf of the American people. Lincoln's only surviving son, 78-year-old Robert Todd Lincoln, was in attendance.

XQZW X 11 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: X Answer: Try naming five words that start with the letter X. Xylophone, X-ray…not so easy, right? You might want to stop because the Oxford English Dictionary only lists a mere 400 words that begin with the letter X. In fact, in Noah Webster’s Compendious Dictionary, which was published in 1806, there was only one word listed under the letter X: xebec, defined as “a small, three-masted vessel of the Mediterranean”. In 1828, when he put together his American Dictionary, that number had only risen to 13. The number of words starting with the letter X continued to rise until it reached the 400 that we have today.

ArmpitThumbBellybuttonKnee Thumb 12 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: THUMB Answer: The medical for your thumb is the pollex (compared to hallux for your big toe). The thumb is the first, most lateral digit on the radial side of the hand, classified by most anatomists as one of the fingers because its metacarpal bone ossifies in the same manner as those of the phalanges. Other anatomists classify the thumb separately, noting that it has a much different articulation with the metacarpal bone and is composed of one metacarpal bone and only two phalanges.

Chicago CubsGreen Bay PackersBoston CelticsPhiladelphia Flyers Green Bay Packers PHKRAUSE the answer is GREEN BAY PACKERS dgrimm60 Answer: The Green Bay Packers are the only fan-owned team in professional sports. Rather than being the property of an individual or corporate entity, they are held in by 360,584 stockholders. It is this broad-based community support and non-profit structure which has kept the team in Green Bay for nearly a century in spite of being the smallest market in all of North American professional sports. As a publicly held nonprofit, the Packers are also the only American major-league sports franchise to release its financial balance sheet every year.

MichiganOregonWisconsinOhio Wisconsin 21 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: WISCONSIN Answer: On this day in 1848, Wisconsin entered the Union as the 30th state. The nickname for Wisconsin is "The Badger State." The badger is featured on Wisconsin's coat of arms, state seal, and state flag, and is also the official state animal. The nickname dates back to the 1820s, when mining became a huge business, leading thousands of men to the ample iron ore mines in the Midwest. Wisconsin workers made temporary homes by digging caves into the rock of the mines, similar to tunnels that badgers dig for shelter. The miners came to be known as “badger boys” or “badgers,” and the name eventually came to represent the state itself.
