When Death smiles, Corpsmen smile back
On this day in 1876, James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickok was killed in what is now Deadwood, South Dakota. He was playing poker when he was shot in the back of the head by a young Jack McCall, at 4:15 p.m. at the No. 10 Saloon. He died with a Smith and Wesson revolver in his holster and holding a pair of aces and a pair of eights.
On this day in 1943, PT-109, commanded by Lt.jg. John F. Kennedy, was cut in half by cruiser Amagiri.
