	Operation Coronet - planned Allied invasion of Northern Japan 1946
		Operation Coronet was the name of the Allied plan for invasion of the Kanto plain near Tokyo, scheduled for Spring 1946.
		Operation Coronet was planned as a follow-up to Operation Olympic, which was the planned invasion of Kyushu, the southern-most Japanese island.
		Neither Operation Coronet, nor Operation Olympic, took place because Japan surrendered in August 1945, immediately following the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the Soviet Union's declaration of war on Japan.

	Thirty Years to Operation Jonathan in Entebbe
		The rescue operation at Entebbe is significant first because it symbolizes the profound transformation of the condition of the Jewish people in the intervening thirty one years since Bergen-Belsen.The Jews were no longer helpless in the face of their enemies’ murderous designs.
		Entebbe is significant for still a third reason, of universal import: the decisive blow this operation struck against international terrorism.
		The Entebbe operation remains the quintessential symbol of how a free nation must act in the face of terrorism: the refusal to capitulate to the terrorist's demands and the willingness to fight back.
