  • Remembering Those Who Gave Their Lives in WW1
    Remembering Those Who Gave Their Lives in WW1 ©2018 OSWEGO COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY 135 EAST THIRD STREET OSWEGO, NY 13126 How do we learn about people who lived over 100 years ago? Newspaper articles, military records, obituaries, and census data all contain information that can give us some insight into to the lives of people from the past. From various sources, we can learn about a person’s family members, service history, and even the role they played in their communities. Finding background information can be a challenge. Using sources like the ones in this unit, you can discover clues that help you expand a search from one source to another. The following pages include snippets from a range of American troops conversing with old French peasants, August 18, sources that introduce you to some of the members of the 1918. American First World War Official Exchange Collection. This image is in the public domain and was created as part of the work service from Oswego County who gave their lives during by a U.S. military or Department of Defense employee taken or World War 1. made as part of that person’s official duties. Whether they died as a result of conflict on the battlefield, or from influenza in a military hospital, they left loved ones to mourn their passing. It’s important that we remember not just the names, but the person as well.

  • Commencement Speech Ambassador (Ret.) Nicholas Burns American University of Paris May 23, 2017 Good Morning, Ladies and Gentleme
    Commencement Speech Ambassador (ret.) Nicholas Burns American University of Paris May 23, 2017 Good Morning, Ladies and Gentlemen. I am honored to be with you in the beautiful Theatre de Paris for the American University commencement. To President Celeste Schenck and to the Board of Trustees and its Chair, Raymond Henze: thank you very much for this kind invitation. To the parents: as the father of an AUP graduate, I know how proud you are to see your daughters and sons reach this day. You have now paid for that achievement in more ways than one! To the graduates: this is your day. And I want to reassure you that I understand the perilous position of a commencement speaker: I am the one person standing in the way of you and your diplomas. So, I promise to be brief. It is special opportunity to be back in Paris. Forty years ago, I spent my Junior year in college here—at the Institute of European Studies and at the Sorbonne. It was a life-changing experience to learn about the great French Impressionist Masters; to read Flaubert, Stendhal and Balzac; to take an extraordinary course at the Sorbonne--La Revolution Francaise et L’Empire--taught by the eminent French Professor, Jean Tulard. Paris was an education all by itself from the Louvre to the Pompidou Center, which had just opened, to the cafes of Montparnasse and St. Germain, to Pere Lachaise, Le Marais and the Luxembourg Gardens. So many beautiful and inspiring places! I don’t think I learned as much in the six other countries in which I have lived as I did that one year in Paris.

You have wished to put on record, for the en- lightenment of new generations in France and America, the story of the volunteers who served under your orders and gave so noble a response to the deed of La Fayette, whom they chose as their namesake. More than a century apart, the great ancestor and your young Americans were inspired by the same passion of Liberty. It was your duty to bear witness to their exploits. You have told this story of heroism with a Vlll PREFACE sincere simplicity which recommends it not only to literary critics but to all young people who take delight in noble deeds.

  • AFL Fall 2017 Gazette: Lafayette Trivia (2 of 2: Answer) by Ernest and Janet Sutton
    The Gazette of the American Friends of Lafayette No. 87 October 2017 Lafayette College, June 2017 Inside This Issue Newsletter 1 friendsoflafayette.org PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dear Friend of Lafayette, This year, 2017, continues to be an important year for the commemoration of Lafayette and his legacy and for The AFL. Since the publication of No. 86 of the Gazette in May, 80 AFL members celebrated our hero with a wonderful annual meeting in Bethlehem, Easton and Philadelphia, PA. Our special thanks to Diane Shaw and Pam Murray of Lafayette College for organizing and hosting our group. At the meeting, the membership approved the sites for 2018 and 2019, leaving it to the Board of Governors to determine the order. Chuck Schwam and I advocated for Annapolis/Baltimore and Savannah/Edisto Island respectively for 2018. After a spirited debate conducted respectfully and without charges or countercharges, the Board by majority vote approved Annapolis for 2018 and Savannah the following year. AFL members participated in a number of other important events from June to October. These were the US Embassy’s Picpus Cemetery event held this year on June 30, 2017 where Augie Huber placed the AFL wreath, our own Picpus ceremony on the traditional date of July 4, a wreath-laying at the Baltimore Lafayette equestrian statue, which is 100 years old, on Lafayette’s birthday, September 6, and a ceremony to inaugurate the placement of equestrian statues of Generals Lafayette and Pershing in the town of Versailles, France in early October. Still to come are the Yorktown Day festivities from October 18 to 20 – see Chuck’s article for details – and a visit to the Governor’s Mansion in Richmond on the anniversary, October 27, of Lafayette’s visit there.

  • Crimson Aviators Summary
    Advocates for Harvard ROTC . Telephone: (978) 443-9532 11 Munnings Drive Email: [email protected] Sudbury, Mass. 01776 11 November 2017 From: Captain Paul E. Mawn USN (Ret.) To: Advocates for Harvard ROTC Subject: Crimson* Aviators The US Air Force as well as Naval & Army Aviation owe a generally unrecognized debt of gratitude to the alumni of Ivy League colleges, particularly Harvard, for their key role in the initial development of US fighter pilots. A graduate of both Harvard College and Harvard Law School, Sous LT Norman Prince Armée de l'Air, was an Ace and co-founder of the famed Lafayette Escadrille. The first Navy Ace and only Navy Ace during World War I was an alumnus of Harvard Law School (i.e. Rear Admiral David S. Ingalls USN with 5 kills in WW1). Furthermore, the first aviator in the US Marine Corps to be ever awarded for valor graduated from Harvard College (i.e. 1st LT Ken Culbert USMC, a recipient of the Silver Star and Croix de Guerre, who was killed in action). Harvard College is the oldest US University that was founded in 1636 by the General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. From the American Revolution until the present day, many Harvard veterans have paid a price in time, blood and restricted earnings for the freedoms now enjoyed in our great country.18 Harvard alumni have been awarded the Medal of Honor (including 1 aviator), which is highest number of alumni recipients for any university in the world except for West Point & the Naval Academy.
