S . South as a day to honor those who died fighting for the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War . Nine states officially observe Confederate Memorial Day : Alabama , Florida , Georgia , Louisiana , Mississippi , North Carolina , South Carolina , Tennessee , and Texas . History . In the spring of 1866 the Ladies Memorial Association of Columbus , Georgia passed a resolution to set aside one day annually to memorialize the Confederate dead . Additionally , the secretary of the association , Mrs . Charles J . ( Mary Ann ) Williams was directed to author a letter inviting the ladies in every Southern state to join them in the observance . " The letter " was written in March 1866 and sent to all of the principal cities in the South , including Atlanta , Macon , Montgomery , Memphis , Richmond , St . Louis , Alexandria , Columbia , New Orleans , et al . The date for the holiday was selected by Mrs . Elizabeth Rutherford Ellis . She chose April 26 , the first anniversary of Confederate General Johnston ' s final surrender to General Sherman at Bennett Place , NC . For many in the South , that marked the official end of the Civil War . On April 26 , 1866 , tens of thousands of Southern women commemorated the first Confederate Memorial Day . Some , however , in the northernmost portions of the South did not participate because their flowers were not yet in bloom . Consequently , they selected dates later in the spring to hold their first Confederate Memorial Days . For example , parts of Virginia chose May 10 , commemorating Stonewall Jackson ' s death . Near Petersburg , VA , they chose June 9 , the anniversary of a significant battle there . Others opted for Jefferson Davis ' birthday , June 3 . To the present , Southern states continue to have Confederate Memorial days . Though most are still on April 26 , others continue to be later in the year . Relationship to current national Memorial Day . In 1868 , General John A . Logan , who was the commander in chief of the Union Civil War Veterans Fraternity called the Grand Army of the Republic ( GAR ) , launched the Memorial Day holiday that is currently observed in the entire United States . According to General Logan ' s wife , he emulated the practices of Confederate Memorial Day . She wrote that Logan " said it was not too late for the Union men of the nation to follow the example of the people of the South in perpetuating the memory of their friends who had died for the cause they thought just and right .

S - TEC Sentry The S - TEC Sentry is a reconnaissance UAV developed in the United States in the 1980s . Built by S - TEC systems of Texas ( now part of DRS Unmanned Technologies ) , it is a battlefield mini - UAV in roughly the same class as the BAI Dragon drone . In fact , the Sentry looks something like an Exdrone with a twin - boom raised tail . It is built of carbon composition and Kevlar , and powered by a 19 . 5 kW ( 26 hp ) piston engine in a tractor configuration . S - TEC ' s main business is building autopilots for civil aviation , and small UAVs were a logical extension of that business . S - TEC introduced the Sentry in 1986 , and has sold over 130 since that time . Launch is via a wheeled dolly or pneumatic catapult , and recovery via parasail or on skid landing gear . In an interesting experiment , the company has experimented with carriage of the BLU - 108 Sensor Fuzed Weapon ( SFW ) anti - armor submunition on the Sentry . After release in a target area , the cylindrical SFW pops out a small parachute to orient itself and then fires out four " skeet " projectiles in four directions . The skeets have an infrared sensor to detect when they are flying over the top of an armored vehicle , and then fire a penetrator slug straight down to punch through the top armor . S - TEC has teamed with TRW Corporation in the US and IAI of Israel to sell UAVs on the international market . References .

LAPA FA - 03 The LAPA FA - 03 rifle was developed by Nelmo Suzano at L " aboratorio de Pesquisa de Armamento Automatico " ( LAPA ) between 1978 and 1983 . This lightweight bullpup rifle features a plastic housing and an interesting double action trigger system , but very few rifles were made in mid - 1980s , probably no more than 500 in total . Some of the LAPA FA - 03 rifles are still used by special police forces of Brazil . The LAPA FA - 03 assault rifle is a gas operated weapon that uses conventional piston - operated system with rotating bolt locking . The most unusual thing about FA - 03 is its trigger , which can be set to " double action " mode , in which rifle can be carried safely with loaded chamber and hammer in lowered position , safety disengaged . In this mode , rifle is ready to fire but it requires along and deliberate trigger pull to fire the first round ( a system very popular in modern semi - automatic pistols ) . Otherwise this was a fairy conventional weapon , with right side only ejection and open sights ( rear sight is built into carrying handle ) .
Deutsche Schiff - und Maschinenbau Deutsche Schiff - und Maschinenbau Aktiengesellschaft ( abbreviated Deschimag ) was a cooperation of eight German shipyards in the period 1926 to 1945 . The leading company was the shipyard AG Weser in Bremen . History . The Deschimag was founded in 1926 when influential Bremen merchants and bankers decided to found a cooperation of great German shipbuilding companies under the leadership of the shipyard AG Weser . The intention was to coordinate and concentrate activities of German shipyards for higher efficiency but last not least mainly to support Bremen´s shipyard AG „ Weser “ in the upcoming economic and financial crisis of 1930th . While the greatest shipbuilding companies in Germany as Blohm & Voss and Bremer Vulkan AG because of their own strong market position at that time were not interested in this cooperation , eight more or less great German shipyards merged . These were : Deschimag became the greatest shipbuilding company in Germany with about 15 , 000 workers which was about 28 % of the total German shipbuilding industry workforce at that time . But in the following years most of these companies were closed , went bankrupt or were sold to other companies ( see above ) . At least only AG Weser and Seebeckwerft survived this process of concentration and reduction of shipbuilding capacities . In 1941 Krupp , then the most important German engineering and armaments conglomerate , acquired a majority shareholding in both shipyards . While AG Weser concentrated its activities upon building of merchant ships with an increasing amount of warships later , Seebeck built only smaller vessels and concentrated on ship maintenance and repair . Because of diversification and to create new jobs Deschimag also diversified into aircraft construction . In 1933 the Weser Flugzeugbau GmbH – abbreviated " Weserflug " – was founded . It started making aircraft components and later complete aircraft at different places in Germany , one of them was the former shipyard Frerichswerft AG . In 1936 the Weserflug separated from the Deschimag and became an independent company . It became the fourth largest aircraft manufacturer in Germany in World War II , but only as a licensee of other German aircraft companies , mainly Dornier and Junkers . Deschimag was dissolved after war but AG Weser and Seebeck AG shipyards again survived and continued in shipbuilding . Due to mismanagement and unsatisfactory and too late responses to market demands AG Weser was declared bankrupt in 1983 and operations were shut down while Seebeck shipyard became part of the Bremer Vulkan Verbund AG . Later in 1988 it merged with Schichau Shipyard to SSW Schichau Seebeck Shipyard GmbH , which closed in 2009 . References . city

Makino stated that , at the time , he thought it was a " horrible " thing that he was doing , but that he was too scared to refuse orders because he would have been killed for disobeying . Revelation . After remaining silent for decades , Makino decided to reveal everything to the public in 2006 . Makino ' s account is one of only a few Japanese veterans to come forward concerning human experimentation in Southeast Asia during World War II .

In his controversial revelation , Makino said , " " We should not repeat such miseries again . I want to tell the truth about the war , even if it is to only one person or two . " "
