  • Soldiers' Reconciliation
    Soldiers’ Reconciliation René Cassin, the International Labour Office, and the Search for Human Rights JAY WINTER Reconciliation is the search for an alternative way of configuring hostile parties, locked in the hatred and bitterness unleashed by war and violence. One set of identities – that of soldiers killing other soldiers on the other side of the line – is muted by the construction of another set of identities, com- ing out of combatant status but moving away from war. Here the moral au- thority of soldiers, as men who know what Walt Whitman termed the red business of war, is decoupled from the conflict which brought them into uniform in the first place. Thereafter the door is at least ajar, leading to oth- er encounters with those whom they would have tried to kill on the battle- field. Those post-combat meetings help engender solidarities, an unlikely alliance of former enemies determined after the end of hostilities to make another murderous war unthinkable. I want to tell the story of one such effort. To be sure, in the short term, it failed, but in the process of creating a new kind of veterans’ politics, a se- ries of ideas emerged which had long-lasting consequences. These are the interests former soldiers had in constructing a norm of international affairs above that of the nation state. States, Raymond Aron tells us, are those in- stitutions defined by their right to wage war. Veterans in the interwar years challenged the absolute sovereignty of states precisely because of the lethal consequences of decisions to go to war for everyone caught up in them.

Four clinics held over the three days were fi lled with incredible amounts of invaluable knowledge. Th is event was organized as a way of providing top- notch instruction to London Curling Club members and curlers from other nearby clubs, which it certainly did. Th e event was fun and informative and also helped to raise more than $9,000 for our new facilities project. Participants in the Friday afternoon and evening sessions came from a range of ages, junior to senior, as well as stick curlers. Grant Odishaw went over the basics of the delivery, balance, line of delivery, weight and rotation. Mary-Anne Arsenault showed how to sweep eff ectively, giving insights about directional sweeping, weight judgement and ice reading. Russ Howard explained (with lots of stories, of course) that strategy is At lunch, everyone fi lled up on delicious lasagna hugely based on the thrower and the team’s strengths. from Tony’s Pizza before learning about sweeping and At the end of each clinic curlers got to play a simulated timing rocks and then it was back on the ice to put the “last end of a game” to put all their newly acquired information into practice.

  • To View Expanded Department of France History
    2019 Edition A Message from National Commander Brett P. Reistad The American Legion’s story begins in the Department of France. It was here in the months following the armistice of Nov. 11, 1918, where members of the American Expeditionary Forces waited to re-enter an uncertain future, having fought with their lives to make, as President Woodrow Wilson pledged, the world “safe for democracy.” The cost of fulfilling that pledge can be calculated in many ways, foremost of which is the number of Americans – more than 117,000 – who gave their lives to fulfill it. The enduring benefit of accomplishing such a deadly and difficult mission was a stronger America, a nation that would become revered worldwide as a beacon of hope, liberation and international integrity. When Lt. Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., called three other officers to Paris in January 1919 to discuss the future ahead for America, they did so with the cost of war fresh on their minds. On that occasion, and in a follow-up gathering the next month, they made a commitment that wartime U.S. veterans worldwide would spend the next century fulfilling – to make America stronger, to honor the fallen, to preserve and protect the hard-won peace and to “cement the ties of comradeship” forged in battle. From the Paris Caucus of March 15-17, 1919, through establishment of overseas Memorial Day commemorations and the American Battle Monuments Commission, to the inception of an international coalition of wartime veterans – Federation Interalliee des Anciens Combatants – that laid a foundation later adopted in many ways through NATO, the early American Legion in France built and nurtured respect and understanding of the United States that continues today.

  • The Wind That Shook the Barley: the History of Tiree During the Second
    “The Wind That Shook The Barley” An exhibition of Tiree during World War II Tiree and Coll Gaelic Partnership, Summer 1999 ©1999 An Iodhlann All Rights Reserved www.aniodhlann.org.uk RAF Tiree World War I had a devastating impact on Tiree. The Roll of Honour lists 290 who served in that conflict and the Scarinish War Memorial records the names of 66 men who died. But apart from the occasional fighting ship seen on the skyline, and the attack by a U-boat on the Plover north of Coll, the Great War was predominantly a distant conflict, fought in the trenches of Europe. 1. World War I battleships off Tiree. (Courtesy of Jean Lindsay) World War II was quite different. With the Battle of the Atlantic raging and a German landing on the west coast of Scotland a distinct possibility, Tiree suddenly found itself in the front line. A major Airforce base was built in months, the island became a Protected Area and over 2,000 airmen and workers from all over the world were stationed here. This exhibition charts the building and work of RAF Tiree during World War II, what it was like to live here and the effect of the base on the community.
