  • Frederick A. Allen Corporal Frederick A. Allen Enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps in June 1968 in Auburn, New York for a Two-Year
    Frederick A. Allen Corporal Frederick A. Allen enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps in June 1968 in Auburn, New York for a two-year tour. Upon completion of basic training at Parris Island and infantry training regiment at Camp Geiger, Frederick joined Charlie Co. 13th Engineer Battalion, 5th Marine Division and then transferred to 1st Marine Division where he served as a combat engineer. Frederick began serving in Vietnam in 1969. His first detail was in An Hoa sweeping the road with a metal detector for mines and booby traps, every day for 30 days. As a demolition expert, his first attachment was with the 5th Marines. With the 5th Marines, Frederick was part of the operation in “Dodge City,” so called by troops because of its “shoot-em-up” characteristics. The area 10 miles south of Da Nang was familiar ground for the Marines. It was about five miles wide and three miles long. Frederick said “Dodge City” and “The Arizona Territory” were dreadful places during his tour in Vietnam, the former rife with booby traps and the latter rife with aggressive enemy forces. Frederick spent his last three months of deployment in Da Nang, where he taught demolition school. He instructed incoming Marines on identifying different booby traps, punji pits, and unexploded ordnances, and taught the proper use of C-4 explosives to help mitigate and eliminate the threat to our troops.

  • THE WORLD of LAFAYETTE SQUARE Sites Around the Square
    THE WORLD OF LAFAYETTE SQUARE Lafayette Square is a seven-acre public park located directly north of the White House on H Street between 15th and 17th Streets, NW. The Square and the surrounding structures were designated a National Historic Landmark District in 1970. Originally planned as part of the pleasure grounds surrounding the Executive Mansion, the area was called "President's Park". The Square was separated from the White House grounds in 1804 when President Jefferson had Pennsylvania cut through. In 1824, the Square was officially named in honor of General Lafayette of France. A barren common, it was neglected for many years. A race course was laid out along its west side in 1797, and workmen's quarters were thrown up on it during the construction of the White House in the 1790s. A market occupied the site later and, during the War of 1812, soldiers were encamped there. Lafayette Park has been used as a zoo, a slave market, and for many political protests and celebrations. The surrounding neighborhood became the city's most fashionable 19th century residential address. Andrew Jackson Downing landscaped Lafayette Square in 1851 in the picturesque style. (www.nps.gov) Historian and novelist Henry Adams on Washington, D.C. 1868: “La Fayette Square was society . one found all one’s acquaintances as well as hotels, banks, markets, and national government. Beyond the Square the country began. No rich or fashionable stranger had yet discovered the town. No literary of scientific man, no artist, no gentleman without office or employment has ever lived there.

Ford Dean of the College: Salvatore Attardo Dean of Graduate Studies: Arlene Horne iii Copyright © 2015 Manuel Antonio Grajales II iv ABSTRACT TRANSNATIONAL FREEDOM MOVEMENTS: A HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN LEAGUE FOR PUERTO RICO INDEPENDENCE, 1944-1950 Manuel Grajales, MA Texas A&M University-Commerce, 2015 Advisor: Jessica Brannon-Wranosky, PhD A meeting in 1943 between Puerto Rican nationalist leader Pedro Albizu Campos and a group of U.S. pacifists initiated a relationship built on shared opposition to global imperialism. The association centered on the status of Puerto Rico as a colonial possession of the United States. The nationalists argued that Puerto Rico the island’s definition as a U.S. possession violated their sovereignty and called for aggressive resistance against the United States after attempting to initiate change through the electoral process in 1930. Campos developed his brand of nationalism through collaborations with independence activists from India and Ireland while a student at Harvard. Despite the Puerto Rican nationalists’ rhetorically aggressive stance against U.S. imperialism, conversation occurred with groups of Americans who disapproved of their country’s imperial objective.

[w]here Armies whole have sunk."' This illusion could have easily been taken from the immediate aftermath of the Clinton crisis. On a myriad of different fronts, the Clinton defense teams advanced sweep- ing executive privilege arguments, only to be defeated in a series of judicial opinions. This "Serbonian Bog" ultimately proved to be the greatest factor in undoing efforts to combat inquiries into the Presi- dent's conduct in the Lewinsky affair and the collateral scandals.2 More importantly, it proved to be the undoing of years of effort to protect executive privilege from risky assertions or judicial tests.'
