Percy, in the middle of battle: goddess, save us all.

Someone: don't you mean gods?

Percy: nope. Most of them are unreliable. I only pray to Hestia, and when I asked she said that she preferred she/her pronouns.

I just learned that in WW I&II the soldiers would mistakenly call the nurses “mom”. In their worst of moments regressing back to their most human state, and the state that some of them were just freshly out of: childhood. Going back to being someone’s son when in need of comfort and the illusion of peace that keeps their spark of hope lot.

And that made me wonder about the Titans. Do you ever think these kids who couldn’t be kids ever whisper in the nonexistent silence of a battlefield the name of a loved one? A parent, grandparent, sibling, aunt, uncle, etc.? Do you think these teenager in their lowest and last moments against eternal evils confess their want for comfort, confess their yearning for childhood like hurried last words, dying with them? And do you think, that their friends, kids just like them, the highest of humans a with the biggest of hearts, do you think they indulge them?

Do you think for just a few moments in battle when someone can’t get up, when someone needs to get up, and they call for comfort where they think they’ll never find it, they here a steady whisper back, they here a rhythmic assurance of love and peace even amidst the bloodshed they’re in? Do you think that just maybe when they call out for their moms, and they get a call back, they become so happy to be babies again, so happy to be someone’s babies again, that they forget that their moms aren’t the ones calling back comfort? That they forget that they’re not kids with innocence and ignorance, but that they’re warriors fighting for worlds and nations and people? And do you think that the comforting whispers waver when they think of the warrior in front of them as someone’s baby, calling for comfort? Do you think they’re able to convince themselves of the hopeful peace after they have to whisper the lies of it to the crying kids?

Forgotten standard bearers? African American Soldiers and Iwo Jima 🦅

The Battle of Iwo Jima is known as one of the bloodiest and most intense battles fought during World War II. It lasted for 36 days, with the United States Marine Corps facing off against the Imperial Japanese Army.

The battle was significant for several reasons, including the iconic photograph of U.S. Marines raising the American flag on Mount Suribachi, which has become a symbol of American patriotism. However, there is another aspect of the battle that is often overlooked - the role of African American soldiers.

At the time of World War II, the U.S. military was still segregated, and African American soldiers served in separate units from their white counterparts. The majority of these soldiers were relegated to support roles, such as cooks, drivers, and laborers.

However, there were also several African American combat units, including the 369th Infantry Regiment, known as the Harlem Hellfighters, and the 761st Tank Battalion, known as the Black Panthers.

During the Iwo Jima campaign African American soldiers were responsible for providing artillery support to the Marines on the ground. They fired over 6,000 rounds during the campaign, often under intense enemy fire. African American Marines often served as ammunition handlers and stretcher bearers.

An estimated 700 to 900 African American soldiers participated in the epic island battle, many of whom were Marines trained in segregated boot camps at Montford Point, within Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

African American soldiers continued to serve with distinction and bravery despite discrimination and racial inequality.
