  • Fleet Admiral Ernest J. King, U.S. Navy Ernest J
    Fleet Admiral Ernest J. King, U.S. Navy Ernest J. King was born on 23 November 1878 in Lorain, OH. He attended the U.S. Naval Academy from 1897 until 1901, graduating fourth in his class. During his senior year at the Academy, he attained the rank of Midshipman Lieutenant Commander, the highest midshipman ranking at that time. While still at the Academy, he served on the USS San Francisco during the Spanish–American War. While at the Naval Academy, King met Martha Rankin Egerton, whom he married in a ceremony at the Naval Academy Chapel on 10 October 1905. They had six daughters, Claire, Elizabeth, Florence, Martha, Eleanor and Mildred; and then a son, Ernest Jr. After graduation, he served as a junior officer on the survey ship USS Eagle, the battleships USS Illinois, USS Alabama, and USS New Hampshire, and the cruiser USS Cincinnati. King returned to shore duty at Annapolis in 1912. He received his first command, the destroyer USS Terry in 1914, participating in the U.S. occupation of Veracruz. He then moved on to a more modern ship, USS Cassin. World War I: During the war he served on the staff of Vice Admiral Henry T. Mayo, the Commander in Chief, Atlantic Fleet. As such, he was a frequent visitor to the Royal Navy and occasionally saw action as an observer on board British ships. He was awarded the Navy Cross "for distinguished service in the line of his profession as assistant chief of staff of the Atlantic Fleet." After the war, King, now a captain, became head of the Naval Postgraduate School.

  • General of the Armies John J. Pershing Synopsis: John Joseph Pershing Was Born in Laclede, Missouri, on September 13, 1860
    General of the Armies John J. Pershing Synopsis: John Joseph Pershing was born in Laclede, Missouri, on September 13, 1860. He graduated from West Point and went on to fight in the Indian wars as well as the Spanish- American War and the Philippines insurrection. In World War I, he commanded the American Expeditionary Force in Europe as General of the Armies, helping bring an end to the war. He quietly retired after the war and was buried with honors at Arlington National Cemetery. Early Life: John J. Pershing was the first of eight children born to John F. Pershing and Anne Elizabeth Thompson Pershing of Laclede, MO. John’s father was a prosperous businessman, working as a merchant during the Civil War and later owning a general store in Laclede and serving as postmaster. The family lost most of its assets during the panic of 1873, and John’s father was forced to take a job as a traveling salesman while John worked on the family farm. After high school graduation, John J. Pershing took a job teaching African American students at Prairie Mound School. He saved his money and then went to Missouri Norman School (now Truman State University) for two years. Though he grew up in an era of Civil War heroes, young John had no desire for a military career. But when an invitation to take the exam for the U.S. Military Academy at West Point came his way, he applied and received the top grade. Though not a great student (he would place 30th in a class of 77) he was elected class president, and his superiors noticed his leadership qualities.
