St. Stanislaus Cathedral (Scranton, Pennsylvania)
Saint Stanislaus Cathedral is the headquarters and one of the first churches built of the Polish National Catholic Church. It is named after Stanislaus of Szczepanów. History Establishment Establishment of the parish of St. Stanislaus occurred due to a dispute between the Roman Catholic priest and Polish parishioners at the Heart of Jesus and Mary Parish in Scranton over the parish finances and laity involvement.

In 1895, an incident occurred when the parishioners would not let the priest say mass, resulting in the priest expelling them and many Polish families leaving the parish and establishing their own church. Soon the new congregation broke with the Roman Catholic church and established their own denomination. On March 14, 1897, the parish assembly elected Franciszek Hodur, a Polish-American Catholic priest as its pastor. Hodur was consecrated as a ...

Merrill's Marauders
Merrill’s Marauders (named after Frank Merrill) or Unit ''Galahad'', officially named the 5307th Composite Unit (Provisional), was a United States Army long range penetration special operations jungle warfare unit, which fought in the Southeast Asian theater of World War II, or China-Burma-India Theater (CBI). The unit became famous for its deep-penetration missions behind Japanese lines, often engaging Japanese forces superior in number. Formation and training In the Quebec Conference (QUADRANT) of August 1943, Allied leaders decided to form a U.S. deep penetration unit that would attack Japanese troops in Burma. The new U.S. force was directly inspired by, and partially modeled on Orde Wingate's Chindits Long Range Penetration Force. A call for volunteers attracted around 3,000 men. A Memorandum from the Operations Division (OPD) of the War Department dated 18 September 1943 (OPD 320.2) listed the proposed composition of the new American long-range penetration force ...
