U.S. Veteran Is First to Be Convicted in American Courtroom of Supporting ISIS
A federal jury found U.S. Air Force veteran Tairod Pugh guilty Wednesday of trying to join ISIS in Syria in the first ISIS-related verdict to be reached in an American courtroom. The 48-year-old American citizen was arrested in New Jersey last year after a stint working as an airplane mechanic in the Middle East. Pugh was deported back to the U.S. from Egypt where the FBI kept tabs on him.
Pugh watched online ISIS propaganda content and went so far as to pen a letter to his wife pledging his support for ISIS and referencing their life together in paradise after he died a martyr. “But [Pugh] had not sent the letter, giving his defense an opening to argue that although Mr. Pugh was an ardent ideological supporter of the Islamic State, his visions of joining the group were just fantasies,” the New York Times notes. “The jury rejected that defense, convicting him of crimes that carry a potential 35-year sentence.”

The 70 year itch: US veteran to reunite with lost love from WWII
World War II veteran Norwood Thomas, 93, never forgot his sweetheart Joyce Durrant, 88, even after more than 70 years apart. Now he is set to cross the globe to meet her in Australia, thanks to a crowdfunding campaign.
The two met in England in 1944 when Thomas was stationed as a member of the 101st Airborne Division near London.
“We were on a bridge crossing the Thames when we looked down and saw these two fine, young ladies,” Thomas told ABC News. “We went down, paddled around the Thames in rowboats for a bit, later got some drink and food, and Joyce and I just clicked.”
Their brief romance was cut short when Thomas had to go to France for the Battle of Normandy.
