Eight Airmen Lost in 1944 Lake Ontario Crash Remembered
A reader urges action to recover the eight US Army Airmen who died in the 1944 Lake Ontario crash near Oswego. He recalls visiting the wreckage, laments limited recovery efforts, and asks the American Legion Veterans of Foreign Wars, Army Secretary John McHugh, and Senator Schumer to bring the remains home for their families. The note contrasts recovery efforts for Korea and Vietnam with the Ontario tragedy.

Fears of a New Cold War Rooted in Postwar History
Georgie Anne Geyer argues that current global tensions stem from post-World War II decolonization, U.S. interventions, and the rise of Islamist movements. She notes Britain, France, and Belgium withdrew from colonies, leaving the Third World destabilized, while the U.S. created conditions that helped fuel Islamic State and regional conflict.
