Page 6 Also in the issue: Olympia update, pp. 9–10 ; Navy Museum News, pp. 12–13; Naval History News, pp. 14–16; News from the NHF, pp. 17–20; Remembering Rear Admiral Kane pp. 22-23. Message From the Chairman Last month, you received the Foundation’s year-end appeal from our president, Rear Adm. John Mitchell. If you sent your donations earlier this year, or in response to this appeal, thank you! For those of you contemplating a gift, I hope you’ll refl ect on our successes in “preserving and honoring the legacy of those who came before us; educating and inspiring the generations who will follow.” We’ve got much left to do, and your support makes all the difference. This is a great time to make that tax-deductible donation or IRA distribution direct to NHF! The year-end appeal featured a 1948 letter from then-NHF Vice President Fleet Adm. Chester W. Nimitz to then-NHF President Fleet Adm. Ernest J. King referring to the budget and political woes encountered 65 years ago in the nation’s capital: “I, for one, am glad to be away from that trouble spot….” Yet despite the challenges King faced, including a series of debilitating strokes, he remained strongly committed to growing the NHF and educating the American public about this nation’s great naval heritage.

  • THE JERSEYMAN 8 Years - Nr
    1st Quarter 2010 "Rest well, yet sleep lightly and hear the call, if again sounded, to provide firepower for freedom…” THE JERSEYMAN 8 Years - Nr. 65 2 The Jerseyman Battleship New Jersey Volunteers Awarded Four Chaplains Legion of Honor… On November 2, 2009, 45 volunteers, along with Home Port Alliance staff members of Battleship New Jersey, gathered at the Chapel of Four Chaplains in Philadelphia to receive the Four Chaplain’s award. The Legion of Honor Award is presented ―in recognition of your service to all people regardless of race or faith. This award symbolizes for all Americans and for all time the unity of this Nation, founded upon the Fatherhood of One God.‖ Along with Battleship New Jersey volunteers, also honored was Master Chief Scott Ruhle, USN, son of Harry Ruhle, Supervisor of Battleship New Jersey Maintenance and restoration volunteers. Master Chief Ruhle is currently in his twenty-sixth year of active service in the US Navy. When he is on shore, he often volunteers in service to youth and seniors in the community, and he has also volunteered aboard the Battleship New Jersey. Scott recently returned from his sixth deployment aboard his ship, USS Preble (DDG-88). 2 3 The Jerseyman PRESENTATION OF THE LEGION OF HONOR AWARD No tradition of American society is more precious to, or characteristic of, our culture than that of voluntary reaching out to neighbors in need. Such selfless service is part of both our civic and our religious heritage. The Chapel of Four Chaplains, a national non-profit organization, is founded upon one shining manifestation of our heritage - that of four Army Chaplains who, after giving their life jackets to soldiers who had none, linked arms with one another and went down with the USAT DORCHESTER, after it was torpedoed on February 3, 1943.
