Missouri State Society Daughters of the American Revolution Proudly Honors Patriot of the Month March 2017 Rex Dunwoody United States Navy Sponsored by: Armstrong Chapter Rex graduated in 1945 from high school. He enlisted in the United States Navy in January 1946, and went to boot camp at the Naval Training Center in San Diego, California. He was then assigned to the USS Landing Ship Tank 933 (USS LST-933) and went to Charleston, South Carolina for the decommissioning of the ship. Then, he was assigned to the USS Tarawa (CV-40) going all over the South Pacific to China, Japan, Hawaii, Saipan and Guam before returning to San Diego. The ship and crew were then ordered out to sea to train a group of pilots for landing and taking off on the aircraft carrier. Every two weeks, they would train a new group of pilots in landing and taking off the ship with this mission lasting for three months and at the end of the three months the ship returned to the Naval Training Center in San Diego. While on the USS Tarawa, Rex witnessed some horrible accidents involving the planes taking off and landing on the ship. After returning to San Diego, Rex was honorably discharged in November 1947, with the rank of Seaman First Class. He received the American World War II Victory Medal. Rex returned to Missouri after being discharged from the Navy and farmed with his Dad. He married Rosemary and they had five children, eleven grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren. Rosemary has passed away. Rex worked for a gas service company and then a pipeline company for over 30 years and is now retired. In 1952, he bought a 160 acre farm. He farmed the land until he sold the farm. He is a member of the St. Pius X Catholic Church and is a Fourth Degree member of the Knights of Columbus. Armstrong Daughters extend their gratitude and thanks and are proud to honor and recognize Rex Dunwoody as Patriot of the Month for his service to our great country. .

Iraq: Summary of U.S. Forces
Order Code RL31763 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Iraq: Summary of U.S. Forces Updated November 28, 2005 Linwood B. Carter Information Research Specialist Knowledge Services Group Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Iraq: Summary of U.S. Forces Summary This report provides a summary estimate of military forces reported to have been deployed to and subsequently withdrawn from the U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) Area of Responsibility (AOR), popularly called the Persian Gulf region, to support Operation Iraqi Freedom. For background information on the AOR, see [http://www.centcom.mil/aboutus/aor.htm]. Geographically, the USCENTCOM AOR stretches from the Horn of Africa to Central Asia. The information about military units that have been deployed and withdrawn is based on both official government public statements and estimates identified in selected news accounts. The statistics have been assembled from both Department of Defense (DOD) sources and open-source press reports. However, due to concerns about operational security, DOD is not routinely reporting the composition, size, or destination of units and military forces being deployed to the Persian Gulf. Consequently, not all the data herein have been officially confirmed. For further information, see CRS Report RL31701, Iraq: U.S. Military Operations, by Steve Bowman. This report will be updated as the situation continues to develop. Contents U.S. Forces.......................................................1 Military Units: Deployed/En Route/On
