    Memoirs of WWII –97th Infantry Division It has been the experience of all veterans that time brings a blurring of detail, that memories are less exact after events, and that first hand recordings in print on the spot serve best to put down in black and white what happened. ~ Unknown writer. REFLECTIONS ON THE 97TH INFANTRY DIVISION On his 90th Birthday Brigadier General Sherman V Hasbrouck As Told to J.W. Redding 18th June 1988 PREFACE The 97th Infantry Division was originally organized in September, 1918, and saw action in France during WWI. It was demobilized 20 November of the same year and reconstituted as an organized reserve unit. The Division was reactivated 25 February 1943 at Camp Swift, Texas, under the command of Maj Gen Louis A Craig. Brig Gen Julien Barnes was the Division Artillery Commander. The 303d Inf Regt and the 303d FA Bn were the only units with the reactivated division that can boast of battle streamers from World War I. The Division went through basic and unit training at Camp Swift. It took their physical fitness test there. The artillery battalions took their AGF firing test at Camp Bowie, Texas. During the latter part of October, 1943, the Division departed Camp Swift for the Louisiana Maneuver area, spending the next 3 months in the field on division exercises. Following the Louisiana Maneuver period, the Division was transferred to Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri where it continued with unit training. While at Ft Leonard Wood, Gen Craig was assigned to the command of the 23d Corps which he relinquished to take command of a combat division in Europe.

  • Navy Ship Names: Background for Congress
    Navy Ship Names: Background for Congress Updated October 29, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RS22478 Navy Ship Names: Background for Congress Summary Names for Navy ships traditionally have been chosen and announced by the Secretary of the Navy, under the direction of the President and in accordance with rules prescribed by Congress. Rules for giving certain types of names to certain types of Navy ships have evolved over time. There have been exceptions to the Navy’s ship-naming rules, particularly for the purpose of naming a ship for a person when the rule for that type of ship would have called for it to be named for something else. Some observers have perceived a breakdown in, or corruption of, the rules for naming Navy ships. Section 1749 of the FY2020 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) (S. 1790/P.L. 116-92 of December 20, 2019) prohibits the Secretary of Defense, in naming a new ship (or other asset) or renaming an existing ship (or other asset), from giving the asset a name that refers to, or includes a term referring to, the Confederate States of America, including any name referring to a person who served or held leadership within the Confederacy, or a Confederate battlefield victory. The provision also states that “nothing in this section may be construed as requiring a Secretary concerned to initiate a review of previously named assets.” Section 1749 of the House-reported FY2021 NDAA (H.R. 6395) would prohibit the public display of the Confederate battle flag on Department of Defense (DOD) property, including naval vessels.

    1 JIM GRIFFITHS -U.S. Navy Ships of War, 1898-1991 (Title/Image Size/Framed Size/Price/Painting Detail-Description) Forty Gouache Paintings depicting important vessels and naval actions from the Spanish American War to the first Iraq conflict. “Across the Sea of Storms” 12 ½” x 19”, 21 x 27”, $4,000 Liberty Ship, 1943 The painting depicts a well-worn Liberty ship plowing through heavy Atlantic seas headed for Europe (Britain) or Russia with much needed war material. In the distance can be seen several other ships in the convoy. While stormy weather was a peril, a greater danger was the threat of a U-boat attack; not until a ship was safely at anchor in port, would this latter threat be put aside but never forgotten. "Always Pushing Forward" 12 1/2 x 19 ¼”, 21 1/4"H x 27 1/4"L, $4,000 BB-40 USS New Mexico 1944 This painting depicts the US. Navy WW II battleship U.S.S. New Mexico (BB-40) at night under a full moon. She is in company with forces that are bound for Mindoro, the Philippines, where she will provide bombardment for the upcoming U.S. landings there sometime in mid-December, 1944. The ship is painted in a camouflage pattern called Ms. 32-6D, a pattern considered the best anti- submarine camouflage. It was designed to be used in areas where visibility was good and where it would be impossible to conceal a ship; at long distances this bold-contrast pattern produced low visibility where the pattern blurred to a uniform shade.
