## Ohio National Guard

Over 35,000 Ohio National Guardsmen were federalized and organized into regiments for 100 days service in May 1864. Shipped to the Eastern Theater, they were designed to be placed in "safe" rear areas to protect railroads and supply points, thereby freeing regular troops for Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant’s push on the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia. As events transpired, many units found themselves in combat, stationed in the path of Confederate Gen. Jubal Early’s veteran Army of the Valley during its famed Valley Campaigns of 1864. Ohio Guard units met the battle-tested foe head on and helped blunt the Confederate offensive thereby saving Washington, D.C. from capture. Ohio National Guard units participated in the battles of Monacacy, Fort Stevens, Harpers Ferry, and in the siege of Petersburg.

The regiment lost 8 enlisted men during service, all due to disease.
# Centipede Press

Centipede Press is an American independent book and periodical publisher focusing on horror, weird tales, crime narratives, science fiction, gothic novels, fantasy art, and studies of literature, music and film. Its earliest imprints were Cocytus Press and Millipede Press.

## Background

Centipede Press was founded in 2001 in Lakewood, Colorado by Jerad Walters. Since inception, it has published over two hundred volumes including currently well-known authors (including Stephen King, Peter Straub, Richard Adams, John Fowles, Neil Gaiman, Frank Herbert, and Patrick McGrath), as well as resurrecting out-of-print works of past genre writers. As of 2025, the press releases one to three new books a month, principally in luxury or oversized, signed or traycased hardback editions aimed toward the collector's market.
Centipede Press received the Horror Writers Association Specialty Press Award in 2013, with its other volumes being named finalists in other years for the Bram Stoker Award in Non-fiction twice and once for Fiction Collection, the Locus award for Single-Author Story Collection, and World Fantasy Award for Best Multiple-Author Anthology (from its first released book, World Fantasy Award for Stigmata in 2001). In 2018, the World Fantasy Convention presented three "Special Award--Professional" trophies to the writer, artist, and editor behind its volume on Patrick McGrath, Writing Madness.
Noting this press's novel treatments and presentations of the fiction of Stephen King, Thomas Ligotti, and Patrick McGrath at the Stoker Awards presentations in New Orleans on 15 June 2013, the Board of the 1,300 member-World Horror Association lauded how Centipede "specializes in horror, crime, and science fiction", yet also regularly produces important "art books, career retrospectives, and critical studies on horror films". As the award presenter put it: "Centipede Press titles strive to be excellent examples of bookmaking, with superior design, page layout, and dust jackets."

## Critical reception

The Press's new fiction is included regularly in annual print retrospectives, including The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy, The Year's Best Science Fiction, The Best Horror of the Year, The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror, and The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror.
In an article from the leading trade journal on rare volumes, Fine Books & Collections, Richard Goodman contends that Centipede Press's major contribution is to show how the "weird and upsetting" are alluring or how "the ugly is beautiful" through the commissioned pen and ink drawings, paintings, photography, and woodcuts that accompany texts.
In 2010, Centipede Press also launched a periodical, The Weird Fiction Review, a yearly color print journal ranging from 300-400 pages that discusses the eerie, monstrous, and decadent in film, literature, comics, and magazines. The journal is edited by S. T. Joshi and features articles, essays, original fiction, poetry, and interviews.

# The boys of Pointe du Hoc

"The boys of Pointe du Hoc" was a speech delivered by United States president Ronald Reagan on the 40th anniversary of the Normandy landings at Pointe du Hoc to a crowd of soldiers who fought at the battle. The speech was written by Peggy Noonan.
The speech is often viewed as one of the best remembrance speeches by a U.S. president, and modern presidents are often compared to Reagan during their speeches on anniversary events of the Normandy landings.

## Background

Pointe du Hoc lies 6.5 km (4.0 miles) west of the center of Omaha Beach. During the Nazi occupation of France, as part of the Atlantic Wall fortifications, the prominent cliff top location was fortified by the Germans. At the end of the two-day action, the initial Ranger landing force of 225 was reduced to about 90 fighting men.
Pointe du Hoc now features a memorial and museum dedicated to the battle. Many of the original fortifications have been left in place and the site remains speckled with a number of bomb craters. On January 11, 1979, this 13-hectare field was transferred to American control, and the American Battle Monuments Commission was made responsible for its maintenance.

## Speech

On June 6, 1984, United States president Ronald Reagan delivered the speech "The boys of Pointe du Hoc" in front of the Pointe du Hoc memorial atop the cliffs of Pointe du Hoc. In attendance were 62 survivors of the battle. Reagan referred directly to them in his speech:
   These are the boys of Pointe du Hoc. These are the men who took the cliffs. These are the champions who helped free a continent. These are the heroes who helped end a war.
Noonan said she took the line "the boys of" from the title of the similarly named book about the Brooklyn Dodgers by Roger Kahn.

## Legacy

The speech is often viewed as influential in raising approval of Reagan's foreign policy abilities and seen as one of the best obituary or remembrance speeches by a U.S. president.
The speech was commemorated by American author and historian Douglas Brinkley in his 2005 book The Boys of Pointe du Hoc: Ronald Reagan, D-Day, and the U.S. Army 2nd Ranger Battalion.
Modern U.S. presidents are often compared to Reagan when they give speeches on the anniversary of the Normandy landings. Barack Obama was compared to Reagan in 2009 and in 2024, Joe Biden was said to have tried to evoke Reagan in his version of his Normandy address.
