  • Harvard's Interaction with the Military
    Harvard University & the US Military – an introspection INTRODUCTION Since the middle of the 20th century, Harvard has unjustifiably been labeled as a bastion of left wing, anti- military elitists in the forefront of the myopic “Blame America first” radicals. However, the predominate opinion of faculties & undergraduates at most universities have tended to skew to the left since the Baby Boomers revolted in the late 1960’s against the values and traditions of their “greatest generation” parents who won World War II. For several recent decades, the decline in patriotism and service to country among many young Americans has been compounded by narcissistic lack of responsibility, the pleasure principle driving promiscuous sex and the growing use of illegal drugs, revisionist history, the breakdown of the traditional family and biased multi-media communications. In reality, Harvard alumni reflect a bell curve of opinions and many have demonstrated courage, integrity and commitment by serving in the US military from the American War for Independence to the current World War against Islamic Fundamentalist terrorism. The prime purpose of this introspection is to proudly promulgate the untold story of the long Crimson line of Harvard warriors as a role model for current and future undergraduates at Harvard and elsewhere. A secondary objective of this paper is to review the positive Harvard policies of the past that have helped to nurture and develop many Harvard heroic veterans and identify what needs to be done for Harvard to again have a preeminent patriotic role in educating and developing future military leaders. Harvard’s interaction with the military Harvard College is the oldest university in the United States which was established by the General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1636.

  • Harvard & the Various ROTC Programs
    AM red skies – Harvard & the various ROTC programs Red skies at night, sailor’s delight. Red skies in the morning, sailors take warning! Background Since the American Revolution, many Harvard military veterans have paid a price in time, blood and restricted earnings for the freedoms now enjoyed in our great country. The bios of many of these Crimson warriors are described in the Harvard Hall of Heroes and all other Harvard veterans on the website for Advocates for Harvard ROTC, including 18 Harvard alumni who were awarded the Medal of Honor, which is highest number of alumni recipients for any university in the world except for West Point and the Naval Academy. Excluding the public Land Grant colleges, the blueprint for current ROTC programs at civilian colleges was initiated at Harvard under the leadership of Medal of Honor recipients and Harvard grads: President Theodore Roosevelt (H-1880) & General Leonard Wood USA (HMS-1884) with the active support of Harvard president A. Lawrence Lowell (H-1877 & HLS-1880) in 1913 at the Harvard Club of New York. Harvard subsequently documented that at least 11,319 Harvard men from the class of 1887 to 1921 served during World War I in the US or allied military services. Many of these men were sent overseas to France including 4 Medal of Honor recipients and over 105 who earned the 2nd highest military medal for valor (i.e. the Distinguished Service Cross /Navy Cross or comparable foreign medals). After World War I, the Harvard Army ROTC was subsequently reconfigured to be a permanent training unit and in 1926 Harvard hosted one of the first 6 Navy ROTC units in the country.

  • Harvard's Medal of Honor Recipients
    Medal of Honor recipients from Harvard University 27 July 2020 Harvard graduates have a proud but often untold history of duty, honor and country through their military service to our country. The recipients of the Medal of Honor, of course, merit the highest honor and respect. With a bit of research, Captain Mawn, Chairman of the Advocates for Harvard ROTC, discovered that Harvard has 18 Medal of Honor (MOH) recipients among its alumni including 10 from Harvard College, which is more than any university in the world. As expected, graduates of the US Military Academy at West Point and the US Naval Academy at Annapolis have merited the most Medals of Honor (i.e. respectively 83 &73). The Air Force Academy has one MOH alumnus and there are none from the US Coast Guard Academy. To be “picky”, these outstanding military institutions of learning & leadership are “Academies” & not “universities”. Reportedly, George Washington University in Washington (DC) also has a significant number of Medal of Honor recipient alumni among whom most seemed to be career military officers that received a master degree in a “GW” graduate school while stationed in the DC area. Based on information to date, other universities with Medal of Honor recipients include: Princeton (9), University of Washington (8), Texas A&M (8), Virginia Tech (7), Virginia Military Institute (7), Dartmouth (3), Holy Cross (3) Columbia (1), Notre Dame (1), Rutgers (1) & The Citadel (1). It should also be noted that Texas Aggie, VA Tech, VMI & The Citadel have a Corps of Cadets with long tradition of military service, many of whom served in the Confederate Forces during the Civil War.

To: Advocates for Harvard ROTC Subject: “ALL in the FAMILY – Crimson Warriors On 24 May 2017 at Tercentenary Theater in the Harvard Yard, the 2 brothers shown to the left participated in the “Silver Dollar Salute” ceremony. In this long hallowed tradition, a chosen enlisted military person renders the first salute to a newly commissioned military officer who in turn returns the salute and hands the saluter a real silver dollar coin. The presentation of the coin is a token of appreciation for the enlisted member’s guidance and mentoring. In turn, the coin recipient should then follow the military career of the newly-commissioned officer. As a symbol of completing the cycle of leadership, the enlisted service member will give the silver dollar back to the officer receiving the salute if he/she ever reaches flag rank (i.e. general or admiral). 2nd LT Michael Murray (HC- 2nd Lt.

The father of the Murray brothers was a Marine Corps sergeant and their grandfather was also in the Marine Corps during the Korean War. Similarly, my father was a Navy 2nd class petty officer in the Pacific during World War II which was followed by my service in the Navy from the Cold & Vietnam Wars through to Desert Storm and later I personally commissioned my Dartmouth grad son into the US Marine Corps.
