  • Appendix As Too Inclusive
    Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Appendix I A Chronological List of Cases Involving the Landing of United States Forces to Protect the Lives and Property of Nationals Abroad Prior to World War II* This Appendix contains a chronological list of pre-World War II cases in which the United States landed troops in foreign countries to pro- tect the lives and property of its nationals.1 Inclusion of a case does not nec- essarily imply that the exercise of forcible self-help was motivated solely, or even primarily, out of concern for US nationals.2 In many instances there is room for disagreement as to what motive predominated, but in all cases in- cluded herein the US forces involved afforded some measure of protection to US nationals or their property. The cases are listed according to the date of the first use of US forces. A case is included only where there was an actual physical landing to protect nationals who were the subject of, or were threatened by, immediate or po- tential danger. Thus, for example, cases involving the landing of troops to punish past transgressions, or for the ostensible purpose of protecting na- tionals at some remote time in the future, have been omitted. While an ef- fort to isolate individual fact situations has been made, there are a good number of situations involving multiple landings closely related in time or context which, for the sake of convenience, have been treated herein as sin- gle episodes. The list of cases is based primarily upon the sources cited following this paragraph.

  • List of African-American Medal of Honor Recipients 1 List of African-American Medal of Honor Recipients
    List of African-American Medal of Honor recipients 1 List of African-American Medal of Honor recipients The Medal of Honor was created during the American Civil War and is the highest military decoration presented by the United States government to a member of its armed forces. Recipients must have distinguished themselves at the risk of their own life above and beyond the call of duty in action against an enemy of the United States. Because of the nature of this medal, it is commonly presented posthumously.[1] Of the 3,464 Medals of Honor awarded as of June 2009, 88 have been awarded to 87 different African American recipients.[2] Robert Augustus Sweeney is one of nineteen men, and the only African American, to have been awarded two Medals of Honor.[3] A 1993 study commissioned by the Army investigated racial discrimination in the awarding of medals.[4] At the time, no Medals of Honor had been awarded to black soldiers who served in World War II. After an exhaustive review of files, the study recommended that several black Distinguished Service Cross recipients be upgraded to the Medal of Honor. On January 13, 1997, President Bill Clinton awarded the Medal to seven African American World War II veterans; of these, only Vernon Baker was still alive.[4] Civil War Twenty-five African Americans earned the Medal of Honor during the American Civil War, including seven sailors of the Union Navy, fifteen soldiers of the United States Colored Troops, and three soldiers of other Army units.[2] Fourteen African American men earned the Medal for actions in the Battle of Chaffin's Farm, where a division of U.S.

    A Sailor's Life in the New Steel Navy Home Page Banner Credits: Navy Logo from cover of Lawrence, W.J. The United States Navy Illustrated. New York, NY: The Continent Publishing Company, 1898. Sailor images from Naval History and Heritage Command, NH 94006 and NH 101116 At the dawn of the 20thwww.steelnavy.org century, the United States Navy was in the midst of a revolutionary technological transformation. The obsolete wooden sailing ships of the post-Civil War Navy, with their underpowered auxiliary steam engines, were swept away, and replaced by steel-hulled warships with powerful steam engines. This New Steel Navy was the first step in the long process that would eventually lead the United States Navy to a position of world dominance. This website examines the lives of the men who made that transformation possible – the officers and enlisted sailors of the Navy. They lived a life that was rugged and frequently dangerous, a life that was transformed by the new technologies of the ships they served on. They fought battles at sea, and even on land. They existed in a physically claustrophobic, yet socially divided world that adhered to naval traditions both old and new. They endured these hardships, and enjoyed brief moments of fun whenever possible. Pay a visit to an often overlooked moment in time, and get to know the sailors of the New Steel Navy.

  • Spring 2021 Journal
    Vol 78, No. 1 www.loyallegion.org SPRING 2021 Ruminations and Observations From The Commander-in-Chief Is it just me, or does 2021 feel almost exactly like 2020? We all had hoped that 2021 would be different from last year, but so far, it isn’t. Regardless of the feeling of “sameness” we’re all experiencing early in 2021, it is hoped that these comments find you and your family and friends healthy and safe from the Coronavirus. ANNUAL CONGRESS UPDATE Very recently we were informed that the Ohio Commandery is withdrawing as host for the 2021 annual Congress. The Commandery-in-Chief will be considering the feasibility of finding a replacement host Commandery or, as a last resort, reverting to conducting the meeting virtually. If your Commandery believes that it can offer it’s services as host for the October 2021 Congress, please contact Junior Vice Commander-in-Chief Michael Bates at [email protected] as soon as possible. The future of our annual Congress has begun to take on more significance as we find it increasingly difficult to get state Commanderies to volunteer to host the event. Our Constitution requires an annual meeting and that every three years it be held in Philadelphia with Gettysburg being an alternative site. There are those in the current Commandery-in-Chief leadership who have discussed investigating triennial or biennial meetings as well as making Philadelphia the permanent site for our Congresses. The special relationship between MOLLUS and the Union League of Philadelphia, which dates back to our founding, has been a safe harbor for our meetings every three years and there are no signs that that will ever change.

  • Austal's Littoral Combat Ship Uss Kansas City (Lcs 22
    COMPANY ANNOUNCEMENT 4 NOVEMBER 2019 AUSTAL’S LITTORAL COMBAT SHIP USS KANSAS CITY (LCS 22) COMPLETES ACCEPTANCE TRIALS AUSTAL Limited (ASX: ASB) is pleased to announce that the future USS Kansas City (LCS 22) has successfully completed acceptance trials in the Gulf of Mexico. USS Kansas City is the eleventh Independence-class Littoral Combat Ship (LCS), designed and built by Austal in Mobile, Alabama, to reach this milestone. Acceptance trials involve comprehensive testing by an Austal USA-led industry team while underway, demonstrating to the Navy the successful operation of the ship’s major systems and equipment. It is the last significant milestone before delivery of the ship. LCS 22 will be the third ship Austal USA delivers to the Navy in 2019. Austal CEO David Singleton congratulated Austal USA for achieving this critical program milestone. The Independence-class LCS is a high-speed, multi-mission, small surface combatant; capable of operating independently or in a group. These ships are designed to defeat growing littoral threats and provide access and dominance along coastal waters. A fast, manoeuvrable, and networked vessel, the LCS provides the required warfighting capabilities and operational flexibility to execute focused missions such as surface warfare, mine warfare and anti-submarine warfare. The Independence-class LCS program is at a full rate of production, with five ships currently under construction. The future USS Oakland (LCS 24) has recently launched and is preparing for trials, while final assembly is well underway on the future USS Mobile (LCS 26) and USS Savannah (LCS 28). Modules for the future USS Canberra (LCS 30) are under construction in the module manufacturing facility, and construction on the future USS Santa Barbara (LCS 32) began in October .
