(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The Sauks or Sacs are a group of Native Americans whose occupied territory included parts of what is now Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin. Their refusal under their chief Black Hawk in 1832 to accept the continued theft of native lands led to their reduction in importance at the military hands of General Edmund Gaines in the Blackhawk War.There is a town in the southwest of Wisconsin called Prairie du Sac, located in the Sauk County.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The Strategic Air Command or SAC was the branch of the United States Air Force in charge of America's non-submarine-based nuclear arsenal.
Established in March 1946, with headquarters at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska, with its bomber force. The Strategic Air Command symbolized the cornerstone of American national strategic policy, namely, mutual assured destruction of the Soviet Union and nuclear deterrence of other nuclear powers.
In 1992, after the collapse of Communism and the fall of the Berlin Wall, SAC was combined with the Naval nuclear forces to form the U.S. Strategic Command.
