1789: BASTILLE DAY! Parisian revolutionaries and mutinous troops storm and completely dismantle the 10-story Bastille, a royal fortress and grim symbol of the tyranny of the Bourbon monarchs. This action signaled the beginning of the French Revolution. After protracted negotiations and bloody fighting, the Swiss Guards and the bastille's governor are killed by the revolutionaries in a frenzy of... justifiable homicide. 1099: During the First Crusade, Christian knights from Europe, led by Led by Raymond of Toulouse, Godfrey of Bouillon, Robert of Flanders, and Bohemond of Otranto, take the city of Jerusalem after a 7 week siege and begin massacring the city's Muslim and Jewish population. "GOD WILLS IT"!-justifiable homicide. Having achieved their goal, the leaders established five small Christian states in the region under the rule of the leaders of the crusade. 1881: Sheriff Pat Garrett shoots Wm. Henry McCarty, popularly known as Billy the Kid, to death at the Maxwell Ranch in New Mexico. Ambushed in the dark, the Kid passes into Western Lore. Pat Garret is exonerated in a subsequent inquest: justifiable homicide.

1918: 2nd Lt Quentin Roosevelt, 95th Aero Squadron with one victory to his credit, is shot down in combat in his Nieuport 28 over the Marne by Sgt. Karle Emil Gräper of Jasta 50. It is Gräper's only victory of the war over the youngest son of the famous president, naturalist-author, and Rough Rider. Young Roosevelt is buried with full military honors by the Germans out of respect for the greatly admired ex-president. Death in aerial combat- justifiable homicide.

Quentin's remains have since been moved to the American Cemetery above Omaha Beach-next to his brother, General Theodore Roosevelt, the oldest soldier(56) and only general in the first wave to land on D-Day-with a cane!-and recipient of the Medal of Honor-posthumously, after a heart attack-for his actions at Utah Beach-he was buried on Bastille Day 1944.

His own son, Captain Quentin Roosevelt, landed at Omaha- the only father-son team on the beaches on 6/6/44.
