American Warrior Radio"53 Days on Starvation Island" – John BruningStarvation Island is the name the Japanese gave the pacific Island of Guadalcanal. Second only to the Battle of Midway, the capture and retention of Guadalcanal was one of the most significant achievements leading to eventual victory in the Pacific. The price would be high, with brutal combat on the ground, at sea and in the air. A group of mostly green Marine aviators were dispatched to Guadalcanal to assist in the defense. They were lacking in supplies, equipment, fuel and ammunition. These aircrews believed the Marine Corps considered them expendable. Best Selling author John Bruning joins us to tell...

Sports' Forgotten HeroesOnly Willie Anderson, Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan and Jack Nicklaus won 4 U.S. Open Championships. Hogan, however, also won the 1941 Hale America National Open when the USGA cancelled the U.S. Open that year. Many think it should have counted as a Major. So, did Hogan actually win 5 U.S. Open Championships? Listen to SFH here and decide for yourself.In 1941, the USGA cancelled the U.S. Open because of World War II. But the strange thing about the cancellation is the fact that the USGA still staged a tournament, the Hale America National Open. Now, while it was moved from Interlachen in Minnesota to the new Ridgemoor Country Club just outside of Chicago, there were very few differences between the Hale America and a U.S. Open. Ridgemoor was an easier course. The U.S. Open Championship trophy was not awarded. But consider this: there was qualifying, just like today; guys like Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, Jimmy Demaret...
