I was also going to answer General Roosevelt but was busy taking care of my wife after cataract surgery.

His role was well played by Henry Fonda in "The Longest Day". He was not in good health but was a firm believer that his presence on the beach would be the right morale booster for his men.

When COL Teddy received the MOH he joined his son, making the MacArthurs as the only father-son MOH awardees.

Citation

World War II Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient Brigadier General Theodore Roosevelt Jr., US Army

Also agree that Henry Fonda nailed it. For an interesting look at Roosevelt I highly recommend Rick Atkinson's Liberation Trilogy series

I think the 24 day - er - hour time limit has passed.

What happened to a town in Missouri when a River changed it's course in the early 19th century? And what was the cause?

Like Riverie, Tennessee the town in Missouri would be on the opposite side of the Mississippi River due to the New Madrid Earthquake of 1812. Note might well be the Missouri for your town as all along the Mo., Ms.,and Oh. River valleys parts of states are on "the wrong side of the river".

You're close, but it's not about changing Zip codes.

Well sort of. Like eliminating one.

Well they did not change Zip Codes as Zip Codes were not invented then.

Rusty, these areas stayed part of their original states or territories the are just on the opposite side of the Mississippi or Ohio from what would be expected.

The original New Madrid township found itself relocated to the middle of the river- good for fish bad for people.

Well 24 hours is here and gone so... to get the ball rolling again.

This rifle not made in America was considered the best weapon for Southern sharpshooters and snipers.

awesome, i haven't had the honor of getting to bring up a question in a while!

okay, nothing so easy as last time.

at what point in time was the doctrine of the christian church pronounced to be that the Holy Spirit proceeded from God the Father alone, and not from the Father and the Son?

bonus question, what was the formal term for this point of contention, and how did it influence the history of europe?

589 A.D.

Filioque clause,added to Nicene creed

St.Photius denounced the Latin church.....and a whole lotta other stuff

**astralis** · 04-22-2008, 20:34 PM

knaur,

close but no cigar.

you got the bonus question right, but not the time. the point of contention was indeed the filioque clause , however, it was officially condemned at the Fourth Council of Constantinople, 879-880 AD.

589 AD was when some of the western churches began adding the filioque clause, ironically to counter some earlier heresy. however, the church head in constantinople never officially sanctioned it. Three hundred years later, the council came out and officially condemned it.

the controversy died down for a while, but came back in full force by the early 1000s, just in time for the East-West Schism. it was important in that this was one of the main factors for the catholic church being split off from the eastern orthodox church. this meant an independent pope as opposed to just another roman bishop.

This meant that the West began to develop its own religious and cultural identity separate from that of the eastern Byzantines.
