Summary

U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Marcus Nix (right), from Houston, Texas, completes 69 push ups within two minutes at Camp As Sayliyah, a U.S. military installation in Qatar, on Feb 13. Only minutes after finishing 125, Nix was attempting to break a tie with one other Soldier, to earn the overall champion title. Surprising numerous spectators, the two tied again. Both Soldiers were awarded a first place trophy. The popularity of the day's push-up challenge was fueled by a donation of shirts, accessories and magazines from Muscular Development, a popular monthly newsstand publication.

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
