But not in Soft Whiskey. No, sir. Soft Whiskey goes down the ol' hatch as soft as...as...SoftWhiskey. (We tried to think of something softer but we couldn’t.) So how do we do it? It’s simple once you know how. (Let's nottalk about how long it took us to knowhow.) First of all, we do some of our dis- tilling in small batches. Instead of big ones. And second of all, that’s all we’re going to tell you. But hold on. Before you send out for a bottle, there’s one other thing you better know. Soft Whiskey is 86 proof. Got it? Soft Whiskey is 86 proof. Remember it. Because Soft Whiskey does any- thing any other whiskey can do. It just does it softer. Sure we took the tiger out. But not the tiger’s strength. BLENDED WHISKEY • 86 PROOF - 65% GRAIN NEUTRAL SPIRITS © 1966 CALVERT DIST. CO., N.Y.C. National and international problem areas occupy so much of the time, talents and energies today. Because of this, it is significant that The American Legion is gathering in National Convention here in the District of Columbia, the seat of our federal government. This Forty-Eighth Annual National Convention of The American Legion is the second we have conducted in our nation’s Capital. At no time in the life span of the Legion and on few occasions since the birth of the nation has there been a greater need for understanding the times in which we live—for knowing the importance of our government’s policies, and the urgency of opposing or supporting them as the best interests of our great heritage shall demand. Throughout this year we have sought to carry to the far corners of this land American Legion thinking on two basic issues, one international and one domes- tic, both of which we believe to have a strong bearing on the future of freedom at home and abroad. We have expounded on our belief for the need to defend freedom in Viet Nam and throughout the world, and upon the need for all Americans to develop an abiding respect for living by the rule of law, the keystone of our society and for world order. The work is far from finished. I know this Convention will both reaffirm and strengthen those fundamental mandates upon which our major emphasis was based during this year now ending. I know too, that we shall go forth here with renewed faith and firmer understanding, that our efforts in the service of God and country in the year ahead shall be even more determined and effective. 5 The American Legion WASHINGTON OFFICE OF THE NATIONAL COMMANDER D C. 1608 K STREET, N W , WASHINGTON, 20006 Members of The American Legion, Members of the American Legion Auxiliary: I am proud and happy to announce the publication of THE AMERICAN LEGION STORY, by Raymond Moley, Jr. I recommend it to every one of you, for by reading this book, you will gain a deeper understanding of The American Legion and of your part in it. It can also promote understanding and new recognition of our organization's achievements in each community. For that reason, I urge that every local Post and Auxiliary Unit present copies of THE AMERICAN LEGION STORY to influential citizens, as well as to libraries and other educational institutions in their area. This straightforward, well-told story presents a graphic picture of The American Legion and our work. It records the ups and downs of our history--our fights, our losses, our victories and our contributions to the glory of America. It will represent The American Legion and its cause throughout the nation--effectively , usefully, and impressively. ames, National Commander can Legion By Raymond Moley, Jr. with a foreword by J. Edgar Hoover The history of a great institution and a dynamic force in American affairs — a proud narrative of what individuals have done and can do in a free society.

DUELL, SLOAN & PEARCE an affiliate of Meredith Press Order Dept. 1716 Locust Street ' Des Moines, Iowa 50303 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON Dear Commander James: Tt is a genuine pleasure to send warmest greetings to the annual convention of the American Legion. The men and women of the Legion have worked untiringly for a better country. You may take special pride in your work among young people and your emphasis on developing those traits of good citizenship—honesty, integrity, and personal conviction—which are the foun- dation of a free society. The American Legion has given unequivocal support to its country’s policy in Vietnam. As men of the Legion know, armed conflict is abhorrent. But you also know that tyranny and slavery are even more abhorrent. And you fully grasp the importance and the need of the nation’s resolve to honor our international commitments and to preserve the liberties we all cherish. I wish each of you a most productive convention and a most pleasant stay in our nation’s capital. Sincerely, Mr. L. Eldon James National Commander The American Legion Hampton, Virginia 23369 THIRTY-SIXTH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES 7 YOU KNOW BETTER The real thing isn’t easy to make. America’s brand of democracy is steeped in time, tears and suffering. Will the next generation and ones after cherish our recipe for freedom as we have? Boys’ Clubs of America thinks so. With the help of organizations such as the American Legion, Boys’ Clubs have been building ‘Juvenile Decency’ for more than a century. Right now some 750,000 Boys’ Club members are living and learning good citizenship and the meaning of responsible adulthood.

    SIR Branch 4 Visit to San Francisco National Cemetery August 23, 2012 On Thursday morning, August 23, 2012, members and guests of Sons In Retirement, Branch 4, visited the San Francisco National Cemetery in the Presidio of San Francisco. The tour was lead by Docent Galen Dillman. All agreed that his presentation was remarkable for the insights he offered into American history through the stories of heroes and of ordinary people serving our nation. Photographs captured by SIR Master Photographer Bert Dormann. The descriptions of the graves we visited were assembled from notes taken on the tour and from further research. I am responsible for any errors or misinterpretation through any faults in my note taking or research. – Paul Rosenberg.

    INTIMIDATING THE WORLD: THE UNITED STATES ATOMIC ARMY, 1956-1960 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Paul C. Jussel, B.A., M.M.A.S., M.S.S. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2004 Dissertation Committee Approved by Professor Allan R. Millett, Advisor Professor John R. Guilmartin __________________ Professor William R. Childs Advisor Department of History ABSTRACT The atomic bomb created a new military dynamic for the world in 1945. The bomb, if used properly, could replace the artillery fires and air-delivered bombs used to defeat the concentrated force of an enemy. The weapon provided the U.S. with an unparalleled advantage over the rest of the world, until the Soviet Union developed its own bomb by 1949 and symmetry in warfare returned. Soon, theories of warfare changed to reflect the belief that the best way to avoid the effects of the bomb was through dispersion of forces. Eventually, the American Army reorganized its divisions from the traditional three-unit organization to a new five-unit organization, dubbed pentomic by its Chief of Staff, General Maxwell D. Taylor. While atomic weapons certainly had an effect on Taylor’s reasoning to adopt the pentomic organization, the idea was not new in 1956; the Army hierarchy had been wrestling with restructuring since the end of World War II. Though the Korean War derailed the Army’s plans for the early fifties, it returned to the forefront under the Eisenhower Administration. The driving force behind reorganization in 1952 was not ii only the reoriented and reduced defense budget, but also the Army’s inroads to the atomic club, formerly the domain of only the Air Force and the Navy.

The Hawkeye State is home to Legion Baseball legends, war heroes and veterans who chose lives of public service. Future President Ronald Reagan broke into broadcasting here, the same state where he trained to serve in the U.S. Army during World War II. The Iowa American Legion Family, including the American Legion Auxiliary, Sons of The American Legion and Legion Riders, always make a splash at national events and parades, cornstalks in hand.

This will allow us to provide more in-depth stories and a new feature on the work done by our bands out in the fleet. Whether through music, imagery, video or articles, we’re always looking for new ways to reach more people, and to connect Americans with their Navy. We had a busy summer! June 5 was the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Midway, one of the greatest naval battles the world has ever witnessed and a critical turning point in the Pacific during World War II. Navy bands supported commemoration events around the world. We even sent musicians to Midway Atoll, where a bugler and vocalist from the U.S. Pacific Fleet Band participated in a globally-broadcast ceremony. Inspired by the “Greatest Generation,” our Sailors and civilians carry on that legacy of adaptation and resilience. Believe it or not, we’re already nearing the end of 2017.
