The Red Ball Express was a vital logistics operation during World War II, running from August to November 1944. Created by the Allied forces after the D-Day invasion, it consisted of a fleet of over 6,000 trucks operated primarily by African-American soldiers. This convoy system transported essential supplies, including food, fuel, and ammunition, from the Normandy beaches to advancing front-line troops across France. The Red Ball Express ensured the continuous flow of resources necessary for the Allied push into German-occupied territory, demonstrating the critical importance of logistical support in sustaining military operations and advancing towards victory.

Porch of Maidens attached to the Erechtheum. This building, on the Acropolis was, next to the Parthenon, the most important building of the great age of Greek sculpture. The Maidens stand four on the front and one on each end supporting with their heads the top of the portico. This is the best example of using human forms in place of columns.
