All the people of the Empire State are glad you are coming and I know the people of New York City will greet you with open arms as familiar and well liked friends. The City and all its facilities will be at your disposal. I earnestly hope that while the Legionnaires are in our State they will linger long enough to visit some of New York’s fine beaches, our magnificent forest preserves, streams and lakes. We are proud of the Legion in New York as in the Nation, proud of its membership and of its leadership. The people have reason to be grateful to the Legion for its many activities contributing invaluably to the common good. I congratulate the Legion and add my sincere hopes that the 1952 Convention in New York may be the best and the happiest of them all. Sincerely yours, TED:RC 5 The Honorable VINCENT R. IMPELLITTERI Mayor, City of New York April 29, 1952 RH Hon. Donald R. Wilson, National Commander The American Legion 1952 National Convention Corporation 500 Park Avenue, New York 22, N. Y. Dear Commander Wilson: It is a happy privilege for me as a Legionnaire and as Chief Executive of our great city to extend a warm welcome to the officers and members of the American Legion who hold their 34th National Convention in our city August 24th to 28th, 1952. 1 am happy to note that this will be the third time our metropolis is being honored by this great national gathering of the American Legion, the Ameri- can Legion Auxiliary, the Forty and Eight, and Eight and Forty. 1 know that New York’s eight million citizens as well as the addi- tional millions in the adjoining metropolitan area will welcome wholeheartedly this great gathering of Legionnaires and their families from all over the nation—and the delegates and visitors from the world over. This meeting will be held at a most crucial time in our nation’s history with every American deeply interested and concerned with the action to he taken and the principles to be espoused by the American Legion. If a keynote is to be sounded for the forthcoming Convention none better can be given than your own recent words when you said, and 1 quote: “We who have had the honor of fighting, each in his own way, to preserve what we believe is our country’s destiny, are among those who believe it is righteous and just and good to be proud of America, and of her moral and material strength. We would see this strength reactivated to be used in the interest of good all over the world.” In closing, I can only say that New York City will leave nothing undone to provide for the comfort and the convenience of its guests so as to insure that this, the 34th Annual Convention, may be the most successful in the history of the American Legion. Sincerely yours, Mayor 6 JAMES V. DEMAREST MAURICE STEMBER Department Commander Department Adjutant THE AMERICAN LEGION Department of New York The Department of New York welcomes you.

  • A History of the United States National Outdoor Smallbore Rifle Championships 1919-2013
    A History of the United States National Outdoor Smallbore Rifle Championships 1919-2013 By Hap Rocketto August 25, 2013 i Acknowledgement This history is an attempt to capture the events and personalities that make the National Rifle Association’s National Outdoor Smallbore Rifle Championship such a powerful and interesting story. Covering the years 1919 through 2002 was done under the auspices of the NRA’s publications division, as source material for The National Matches: 1903-2003 The First 100 Years. The reports of the years 2003-2010 were written for, and published by, Precision Shooting Magazine until that publication’s demise and thereafter they were specifically written for this history. This is not a formal history in the sense that bibliography is not appended nor are sources cited. However, much of this story was collected from the rich store of information archived in the written reports found in the shooting journals Arms and the Man, The American Rifleman, Tournament News, Shooting Sports USA, and Precision Shooting Magazine as well as the programs and bulletins of The National Matches and NRA Shooting Trophies. To these writers, the many anonymous NRA staff writers who reported on the events at Camp Perry without a byline, Kendrick Scofield, Edward C. Crossman, Walter Stokes, C.S. Landis, Stephen Trask, David North, Jack Rohan, L.J. Hathaway, F.C. Ness, C.B. Lister, Robert D. Hatcher, John Schofield, Ron Stann, Paul Cardinal, Frank J. “Al Blanco” Kahrs, Paul Pierpoint, Alan C.

    A War All Our Own: American Rangers and the Emergence of the American Martial Culture by James Sandy, M.A. A Dissertation In HISTORY Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTORATE IN PHILOSOPHY Approved Dr. John R. Milam Chair of Committee Dr. Laura Calkins Dr. Barton Myers Dr. Aliza Wong Mark Sheridan, PhD. Dean of the Graduate School May, 2016 Copyright 2016, James Sandy Texas Tech University, James A. Sandy, May 2016 Acknowledgments This work would not have been possible without the constant encouragement and tutelage of my committee. They provided the inspiration for me to start this project, and guided me along the way as I slowly molded a very raw idea into the finished product here. Dr. Laura Calkins witnessed the birth of this project in my very first graduate class and has assisted me along every step of the way from raw idea to thesis to completed dissertation. Dr. Calkins has been and will continue to be invaluable mentor and friend throughout my career. Dr. Aliza Wong expanded my mind and horizons during a summer session course on Cultural Theory, which inspired a great deal of the theoretical framework of this work. As a co-chair of my committee, Dr. Barton Myers pushed both the project and myself further and harder than anyone else. The vast scope that this work encompasses proved to be my biggest challenge, but has come out as this works’ greatest strength and defining characteristic. I cannot thank Dr. Myers enough for pushing me out of my comfort zone, and for always providing the firmest yet most encouraging feedback.

    “ Here come the IRISH“ NEW JERSEY’S LEADERS 2019 MAKE OUR STATE A BETTER PLACE! HERE COME THE IR ISH ! New Jersey’s Leaders 2019 St. Patrick’s Day is once again upon us with its month long festivities. To help celebrate the occasion, InsiderNJ.com presents its annual and profiled list of New Jersey’s Irish American leaders and activists as a salute to the holiday and as a harbinger of long awaited springtime. The annual tribute to the ‘Irish High Holy Days’ is an acknowledgement of accomplishments, numerous contributions and community service. Once again, the list includes both veterans of previous compilations and quite a few newcomers, as well. Collectively, they have all demonstrated a commitment to their Irish American heritage. The updated list is compiled to commemorate the 84th Anniversary of the Newark St. Patrick’s Day Parade, the oldest Irish American march in New Jersey (1936-present), interrupted only by WWII (1943-46). This year’s Irish march in downtown Newark is scheduled for Friday, March 15 at 1:00pm. Grand Marshal Sean O’Neill and Deputy Grand Marshal Kathleen M. Conlon have been elected by delegates to lead the parade. The 2019 Newark Parade is dedicated to Thomas J. Gartland (1939-2018) Tom Barrett, compiler of the list, credits the Newark parade for its sense of tradition and staying power. His father, Thomas P. J. Barrett, a journalist and World War II veteran, was a three-time parade chairman. The list is purely subjective. WE HOPE YOU ENJOY IT! WILLIAM (BILL) BARONI JOSEPH P. BRENNAN, ESQ.

Yes, remember the name Brewers’ Best Premium Beer. Once you try it, you’ll ask for it again and again. For Brewers’ Best is truly a high quality, distinctive beer— with light, clean appetizing flavor. Brewers’ Best Premium Beer, represents a great stride forward in American brewing because it is brewed and bottled by a country-wide group of carefully selected prominent brewers whose combined experience and resources have produced a superior premium beer.
