THE AMERICAN LEGION MAGAZINE • JULY 1977 1 — God and the Fourth of July Americans often get a little ner- vous when public officials or candidates talk about God. Many consider a man's religion his own personal affair. Some skepticism about the reli- gious commitment of politicians is obviously justified and healthy, based on past experience. Some of our most pious-sounding people, in public and private life, have turned out to be hypocrites and crooks. Yet none dared challenge the professed links between God and the United States. The Founding Fathers said so in the Declaration of Independence. Our Presidents, beginning with George Washington, have publicly asked God's help in carrying out their solemn oath of office. In times of peril to the Republic from Valley Forge to Gettysburg, from Pearl Harbor to the Cuban mis- sile crisis—our leaders have asked God's guidance and blessing on our armed forces. And each time our de- fenders have prevailed. "No people can be bound to ac- knowledge and adore the Invisible Hand which conducts the affairs of "free and independent states" on being debated around the country. men more than those of the United July 4, 1776.

  • United States Navy and World War I: 1914–1922
    Cover: During World War I, convoys carried almost two million men to Europe. In this 1920 oil painting “A Fast Convoy” by Burnell Poole, the destroyer USS Allen (DD-66) is shown escorting USS Leviathan (SP-1326). Throughout the course of the war, Leviathan transported more than 98,000 troops. Naval History and Heritage Command 1 United States Navy and World War I: 1914–1922 Frank A. Blazich Jr., PhD Naval History and Heritage Command Introduction This document is intended to provide readers with a chronological progression of the activities of the United States Navy and its involvement with World War I as an outside observer, active participant, and victor engaged in the war’s lingering effects in the postwar period. The document is not a comprehensive timeline of every action, policy decision, or ship movement. What is provided is a glimpse into how the 20th century’s first global conflict influenced the Navy and its evolution throughout the conflict and the immediate aftermath. The source base is predominately composed of the published records of the Navy and the primary materials gathered under the supervision of Captain Dudley Knox in the Historical Section in the Office of Naval Records and Library. A thorough chronology remains to be written on the Navy’s actions in regard to World War I. The nationality of all vessels, unless otherwise listed, is the United States. All errors and omissions are solely those of the author.

When he spotted small specks in the distance, he promptly radioed Midway: “Sighted main body. Bearing 262 distance 700.” PBYs could carry a crew of eight or nine and were powered by two Pratt & Whitney R-1830-92 radial air-cooled engines at 1,200 horsepower each. The aircraft was 104 feet wide wing tip to wing tip and 63 feet 10 inches long from nose to tail. Catalinas were patrol planes that were used to spot enemy submarines, ships, and planes, escorted convoys, served as patrol bombers and occasionally made air and sea rescues. Many PBYs were manufactured in San Diego, but Reid’s aircraft was built in Canada. “Strawberry 5” was found in dilapidated condition at an airport in South Africa, but was lovingly restored over a period of six years. It was actually flown back to San Diego halfway across the planet – no small task for a 70-year old aircraft with a top speed of 120 miles per hour. The plane had to meet FAA regulations and was inspected by an FAA official before it could fly into US airspace.

  • America's Undeclared Naval War
    America's Undeclared Naval War Between September 1939 and December 1941, the United States moved from neutral to active belligerent in an undeclared naval war against Nazi Germany. During those early years the British could well have lost the Battle of the Atlantic. The undeclared war was the difference that kept Britain in the war and gave the United States time to prepare for total war. With America’s isolationism, disillusionment from its World War I experience, pacifism, and tradition of avoiding European problems, President Franklin D. Roosevelt moved cautiously to aid Britain. Historian C.L. Sulzberger wrote that the undeclared war “came about in degrees.” For Roosevelt, it was more than a policy. It was a conviction to halt an evil and a threat to civilization. As commander in chief of the U.S. armed forces, Roosevelt ordered the U.S. Navy from neutrality to undeclared war. It was a slow process as Roosevelt walked a tightrope between public opinion, the Constitution, and a declaration of war. By the fall of 1941, the U.S. Navy and the British Royal Navy were operating together as wartime naval partners. So close were their operations that as early as autumn 1939, the British 1 | P a g e Ambassador to the United States, Lord Lothian, termed it a “present unwritten and unnamed naval alliance.” The United States Navy called it an “informal arrangement.” Regardless of what America’s actions were called, the fact is the power of the United States influenced the course of the Atlantic war in 1941. The undeclared war was most intense between September and December 1941, but its origins reached back more than two years and sprang from the mind of one man and one man only—Franklin Roosevelt.

  • The Construction of USS Atlanta and the Navy Seizure of Federal Shipbuilding David F
    The construction of USS Atlanta and the Navy seizure of Federal Shipbuilding David F. Winkler Cet article constitue une étude sur les efforts syndicalistes pour organiser le travail dans les chantiers navals entre 1940 et 1942 quand l’expansion de la marine nationale américaine exigeait un accroissement de l’efficacité de production. Le sujet est la construction du croiseur USS Atlanta aux chantiers Federal Shipbuilding dans le New Jersey, qui a été interrompue par une grève menant à une impasse entre direction et les travailleurs récemment organisés. La marine nationale a saisi le chantier en août 1941, et, tout en observant une stricte neutralité sur les questions de travail, a mis en œuvre des mesures de sécurité de travail qui ont atténué les tensions. La construction de l’Atlanta a été achevée en décembre, en avance de la date prévue, et ceci malgré l’interruption du travail. La réponse patriotique des travailleurs à l’attaque japonaise sur Pearl Harbor le 7 décembre 1941 a permis au gouvernement de restituer le chantier à ses propriétaires début janvier 1942. Prior to World War II, the War and Navy Departments procured armaments through competitive bids from multiple suppliers in order to lower costs. In the case of shipbuilding, the Navy not only sought to play contractors against each other, but also against the Navy’s government-owned shipyards. To be able to compete successfully for contracts, shipbuilding corporations sought to lower production costs by employing cheap non-union labor. With naval ship contracts far and few between during the 1920s and the early years of the Great Depression, commercial shipyards were able to easily fend off unionization attempts as workers, grateful to have jobs, understood they could be readily replaced.
