    WAR FLAGS INTO PEACE FLAGS: THE RETURN OF CAPTURED MEXICAN BATTLE FLAGS DURING THE TRUMAN ADMINISTRATION by ETHAN M. ANDERSON B.A., South Dakota State University, 2008 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2010 Approved by: Major Professor Charles W. Sanders, Jr. Copyright ETHAN M. ANDERSON 2010 Abstract On September 13, 1950, in a culmination of three years of efforts by organizations and individuals inside and outside the Harry S. Truman administration, 69 captured battle flags from the Mexican-American War were formally returned to the Mexican government at a ceremony in Mexico City. The events surrounding the return of flags to Mexico occurred in two distinct phases. The first was a small, secretive, and largely symbolic return of three flags conceived and carried out by high-ranking U.S. government officials in June 1947. The second large-scale, public return of the remaining flags in the custody of the War Department was initiated by the American Legion and enacted by the United States Congress. Despite their differences, both returns were heavily influenced by contemporary events, primarily the presidential election of 1948 and the escalation of the Cold War. Also, although the second return was much more extensive than the President originally intended, it was only through his full support that either return was accomplished. In the decades since 1950, historians have either ignored the return of Mexican battle flags or focused instead on Truman’s wreath laying at the monument to the niños héroes in Mexico City in March 1947.

Aware of our young Corps of Cadets so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of nation's need for engineers, Thayer made civil engineering the foundation character committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country; professional of the curriculum. For the first half century, USMA graduates were largely growth throughout a career as an officer in the United States Army; and a lifetime of selfless service to the Nation. Founded on March 16, 1802, the Academy is now celebrating its Bicentennial.

Ridgway during the first year of the Korean War. T. R. Fehrenbach subtitled his 1963 history of the conflict A Study in Unpreparedness. Taaffe shows that this characterization “was especially true of [US] senior combat leadership” (p. 204), explaining how few of these generals had led large units in combat and most had received appointment to inflate their records before retirement.

This did not bother MacArthur, who “paid less attention to his division and regimental commanders and was content to accept the ones the army sent him” (p. 13).
