Private First Class Richard Glenn "Dickie" Pitsor, born in 1923, entered the U.S. Army Air Forces from New Mexico and served in Company G of the 200th Coast Artillery Regiment in the Philippines during World War II.
The 200th Coast Artillery Regiment arrived in the Philippines in September 1941 and the soldiers were stationed at Fort Stotsenburg on Clark Air Base, Manila. After the Japanese invaded the Philippines, the regiment was sent to defend the Bataan Peninsula. According to records, the regiment did not receive adequate support in the way of arms, ammunition or food and medication.

Silver City, NM — Scott McGill bolted to the line to win Stage 2 at the 2024 Tour of the Gila at Fort Bayard. The winds were battling the riders as the reduced bunch made the final turn into the finishing straight. McGill outsprinted the General Classification leader Wilmar Paredes (Team MedellÃn) in second and his teammate, Tyler Stites in third.

Marlies Mejias of Virginia's Blue Ridge Twenty24 outsprinted her rivals to score the first major victory of the 2024 season on stage 2 at the Tour of the Gila. Mejias had won the sprint classification a little over a week ago at Redlands Bicycle Classic but was not able to take a stage victory despite her best efforts. She crossed the finish, emotional and celebrating with her team shortly after.
"It's not my victory but the entire team, and the hard work that they did that afforded me this win," Mejias said.
