Preserving and Promoting the Time Honored Traditions Of Our Beloved Marine Corps Now and Forever! Semper Fidelis mar Good Food, Good Fun and a Few Good Men 2017 Iwo Jima Beefsteak is a Huge Success!! Barker Marines, family and friends joined together on the eve of the 72nd anniversary of the Battle of Iwo Jima to celebrate the warriors of the Corps’ most epic event. On 18 February at the American Legion in Rochelle Park we packed in over 100 people to enjoy our most successful event yet. The evening kicked off with the Pledge of Allegiance followed by a toast by Jamie Cuevas and a benediction by Chaplain Vince Montagna. Michael Apricena read our annual message honoring the Warriors of Iwo. Then came ,“THE CHOW!”. Salad, pasta, and curly fries were served in abundance. Then the main event of the evening: the beefsteak was delivered 2017 in endless waves. The beef was consumed and it’s bread garnish was built up on each table into towers, forts and even a wall. Laughter and camaraderie were the orders of the day and those directions were carried out with great Warriors pleasure. contributing to Around 2130 the time came for the tickets to be drawn and the table of great Scoopthis issue prizes distributed to our guests. Baskets of car care supplies, baking items, MOH autographs, jewelry and spirits of all kinds were won by the happy Tim Daudelin attendees. Our own Lou Fava captured the grand prize of the TV and sound Carlos Poole system.

Commandant Approves New Scouting Award, and Directs That Naval Academy Hero be the First Recipient! Since 2010 when the first Mitchell Paige Award for Scouting Achievement was awarded to Michael Keane, an Eagle Scout from Troop 108 in Wayne, the Detachment has toyed with the idea of making a higher level of the award to honor heroic action. Keane at the time of his award was a Freshman at the Naval Academy and subsequently went on to a Commission as a Naval Officer and now serves in the Navy’s Submarine Fleet. Ironically the new award will also go to a Naval Academy Midshipman and Eagle Scout. In last month’s Warrior’s Den we featured a Midshipman Jonathan Dennler, who during a 2016 camping trip in Canada, following a horrible accident during a storm which killed a Scout and an adult leader, took immediate heroic actions risking his own life and saving many others. Dennler canoed 1.5 miles in the dark of night as a storm packing 60 mph winds roared around him. He returned with assistance and medical supplies to save his beleaguered Troop. For his Mitchell Paige Award for Scouting actions he was awarded the Navy-Marine Corps Medal, Achievement with Heroism Star becoming one of the about 3000 recipients since WWII. Upon the recommendation of Detachment Scouting Coordinator Tim Daudelin, Commandant Poole directed that the new award be created and awarded to the heroic Midshipman. The first ever Mitchell Paige Award for Scouting Achievement with Heroism Star was signed by the Commandant on 15 February along with an Honorary Membership Certificate and was sent to Midshipman Dennler. It is a small token of appreciation from our Detachment to honor the New Jersey born member of our Naval Academy. Dennler is a member of the Semper Fi Society at the Academy and has hopes one day of earning a commission in the United States Marine Corps. We here at the Barker Detachment wish Midshipman Dennler all the very best and hope that one day we will be able to call him our Marine Brother! Midshipman Jonathan Dennler USNA Semper Fidelis and God Bless Midshipman Jonathan Dennler! 24-25 March 2017 North East Division Conference All forms can be found on the Northeast Division website: www.northeastdivmcleague.org Stockton Seaview Hotel and Golf Club 401 South New York Road Galloway, NJ 08205 Local 609-652-1800 Toll Free 855-894-8698 June 8-10th. 2017 Department Convention All forms can be found on the Department website: www.njmcl.org Commandant Carlos Poole Welcome Home, Marine As all Marines say, “No man left behind!”. This is no more true than the recent news of a hometown hero from Bogota, 1st Lt. William Ryan, being returned to his family, or rather his remains. Lt. Ryan was shot down over Laos over 47 years ago, and now his remains have been confirmed by DNA. His family has never lost hope, never wavering from their belief that their beloved Marine would one day return, dead or alive. This is a time for celebration for we take care of our own, and now one more that was missing is reunited with his family. His legacy is set and his story will continue to live on. A recipient of Purple Heart and a Distinguished Flying Cross among many other medals, he will now be interred in Arlington Cemetery, along all those heroes who valiantly sacrificed all to keep us free. We, collectively as Marines, have kept our solemn vow to our Brother Marine and his family by continually searching the crash site, to ensure he was not to be forgotten. In an era when Viet Nam veterans were transitioning homeward, they came back to derision and insults, taunts and accusations. Some were even spat up- on on sight. Thankfully, within the last 30 years, changes have been made to include and even salute veterans from that era. It was because of the respect that was bestowed upon them that veterans from later conflicts have been able to hold their heads high. Combat veterans returning from the Middle East, some after many deployments and so much time away from their families, are now welcomed with parades and demonstrations of appreciation at airports and at military bases. We must always remember the sacrifices that were made by those that came before us. We can only remain the greatest fighting force by acknowledging all the efforts made to help us advance, all going back to 1775 when Continental Congress enacted that a group of Marines be formed by Samuel Nicholas at Tun Tavern. Stay strong, Marines. Remember to preserve and uphold the past. Be in the present. And always support those who will follow in our footsteps as they look to us for guidance. Carlos A. Poole Commandant Marines, Another successful Beefsteak event is now in the books. All who attended enjoyed a great time and left with bellies full of beef and big smiles on their faces. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all of our members who pitched in to make this event our best yet! Now that March is upon us, it is time for the Rose and Flag details to commence to raise money to assist in all of our efforts. In addition, let’s keep securing new members to continue our Detachment’s growth. The Youth Physical Fitness Event hosted by the Department of N.J. is taking place on 18 March at Colts Neck HS. The Department Staff Meeting will be on 19 March at the Reserve Center in Red Bank, all members are welcome to attend.. The North East Division Conference will take place 23 – 25 March in Galloway, N.J. If you have any upcoming events you think we should as a Detachment take part in let the Officers know. Let’s hit the streets and get our name out there Devil Dogs. Albert Paul Senior Vice Commandant Friendly greetings Leathernecks, This month we will be short and sweet. Earlier in the month, I mailed out dues payment request letters to about a dozen Marines that are currently classified as past due. I appreciate many of the quick responses and I hope the last few are in the works. As we may have discussed on a previous Warrior update, this coming August will begin a “reset” for dues payments and ALL members will have dues payments due at the same time each year. This will clearly make it easier for all to keep track of. For any of you that want to join us, we will be at Overpeck Park in Ridgefield Park on Sunday April 9th.

    World War Ii and Us Cinema

    ABSTRACT Title of Document: WORLD WAR II AND U.S. CINEMA: RACE, NATION, AND REMEMBRANCE IN POSTWAR FILM, 1945-1978 Robert Keith Chester, Ph.D., 2011 Co-Directed By: Dr. Gary Gerstle, Professor of History, Vanderbilt University Dr. Nancy Struna, Professor of American Studies, University of Maryland, College Park This dissertation interrogates the meanings retrospectively imposed upon World War II in U.S. motion pictures released between 1945 and the mid-1970s. Focusing on combat films and images of veterans in postwar settings, I trace representations of World War II between war‘s end and the War in Vietnam, charting two distinct yet overlapping trajectories pivotal to the construction of U.S. identity in postwar cinema. The first is the connotations attached to U.S. ethnoracial relations – the presence and absence of a multiethnic, sometimes multiracial soldiery set against the hegemony of U.S. whiteness – in depictions of the war and its aftermath. The second is Hollywood‘s representation (and erasure) of the contributions of the wartime Allies and the ways in which such images engaged with and negotiated postwar international relations. Contrary to notions of a ―good war‖ untainted by ambiguity or dissent, I argue that World War II gave rise to a conflicted cluster of postwar meanings. At times, notably in the early postwar period, the war served as a progressive summons to racial reform. At other times, the war was inscribed as a historical moment in which U.S. racism was either nonexistent or was laid permanently to rest. In regard to the Allies, I locate a Hollywood dialectic between internationalist and unilateralist remembrances.
