XM72 40mm GRENADE LAUNCHER - The M79 grenade
launcher is a single-shot, shoulder-fired, break-action grenade launcher that
fires a 40×46mm grenade, which uses what the US Army calls the High-Low
Propulsion System to keep recoil forces low, and first appeared during the
Vietnam War. Because of its distinctive report, it has earned the nicknames of
"Thumper", "Thump-Gun", "Bloop Tube", "Big
Ed", "Elephant Gun," and "Blooper" among American
soldiers as well as "Can Cannon" in reference to the grenade size;
Australian units referred to it as the "Wombat Gun". The M79 can fire
a wide variety of 40 mm rounds, including explosive, anti-personnel, smoke,
buckshot, flechette (pointed steel projectiles with a vaned tail for stable
flight), and illumination. While largely replaced by the M203, the M79 has
remained in service in many units worldwide in niche roles.

F. O’RYAN - John Francis O'Ryan (August 21, 1874 - January 29, 1961) was a
Manhattan, New York City attorney, politician, government official and military
officer. He served as commander of the 27th Division during World War I. He
later served as a member of the New York State Transit Commission and as New
York City Police Commissioner. During World War II he was New York State Civil
Defense Director. At the start of World
War I the New York National Guard was organized as the 27th Division with
O'Ryan as commander. The 27th saw action in Belgium and France, and O'Ryan, the
Army's youngest division commander when he arrived in Europe, was the only
National Guard general to remain in command throughout the war. After returning
to the United States O'Ryan was a founder of the American Legion.
