Vestige of D-Day, this battered American flag was rescued from U.S.S. Corry. A mine struck the destroyer as it fired on German shore guns.

The Social Whirl
Men perform the attan in a village near Farah, Afghanistan, in the 1940s. This traditional pashtun folk dance, a staple entertainment at weddings, is accompanied by the ever-faster beating of drums. Participants—including, occasionally, women—spin for hours on end, until exhausted.
