Andrew McCawley, USN (Ret) President and CEO - New England Center for Homeless Veterans ENTRÉE: ITALIAN NIGHT by Talk-of-the-Town Caterers MESSAGES FROM THE PRESIDENT I first want to thank our Vice-President, Randy Preston for rather suddenly having to take over in January, at a time when I was down for an ailment that took me into a brief stay with my physician during our meeting. I guess you can say that is why they invented Vice-Presidents! It was reported to me that for January, we had 131 members, including 23 “Blue Suits” represented by our friends at the United States Coast Guard. This is a rather impressive number, given a cold New England winter evening! Not too long ago, we’d marvel at having numbers in the high two-digits. I especially want to thank Rear Admiral Linda L. Fagan, USCG - Commander, First Coast Guard District – Boston, for being with us in January for our traditional Coast Guard Night at the Wardroom Club. Additional reports coming to me were strongly enforcing how enlightening her presentation was in bring us up-to-date in the world of today’s Coast Guard. Again, thank you, Admiral Fagan. This month, we will be hearing from CAPT Andy McCawley on the plight of the homeless veteran and the truly remarkable work of Andy and his staff at the New England Center for Homeless Veterans, on behalf of the men and women who have given so much of themselves for our nation. 1 Lastly, a word on the 2015 Wardroom Club dues. Simply put, if you haven’t submitted your dues for this year, I shall make a fervent plea for you to do so. We don’t want to lose any member if it can be avoided. Jules B. Selden, President 23 Hemlock Drive Norwell, MA 02161 E-Mail: [email protected] Home Phone: 781/987-1219 Daytime Phone: 617/645-4197 NOTES FROM THE VICE-PRESIDENT Once again, the deadline for membership in the class of 2015 has been extended from December 31st to March 18th. Wednesday, March 18th happens to be the date of our final meeting before the New Member Reception and the April subsequent vote of the club members for those seeking membership in the Wardroom Club via the class of 2015. This change is intended to ease the burden for prospective members to achieve the required attendance at two regular club meetings and for sponsors to assemble complete membership application packages. This change is fully compatible with the club’s By-Laws. The 18th of March, however, is a hard deadline. Applications that are not complete by that date will be carried over to the class of 2016. The applications and the status of those applications for the class of 2015 that I currently hold are: • CDR Dan Crouch, USN (Ret) – Application complete • LCDR Brian Doherty, USNR – Application complete • LCDR Robert Downing USNR (Ret) – Missing BOG introduction** • LCDR Peter Eschauzier USNR (Ret) – Application complete • CDR Jeffery King, USNR (Ret) – Missing BOG introduction** • LTC Fred Maguire, USA (Ret) – Application complete • COL Joseph Moynihan USAF (Ret) – Missing BOG introduction** • Major (Select) Michael Petit, USMCR – Application complete • LT Larry Post, USCG – Missing attendance and BOG introduction** • CDR Luke Reid, USCG (Ret) – Application complete • ENS James “Mic” Byrne, USN – Active Service Our VP presenting the Paul Revere bowl to ** Sponsors, please note - RDML Fagan. Photo credit – John Cahill A full description of the required process for nominating prospective members to the club can be found on 2 the Club website (www.wardroomclub.org). The number of applications for regular membership that can be approved is unlimited. This is also true for the number of Active Service members. Active Service membership is managed by the Active Service Liaison on the Board of Governors, CAPT Timothy J. Heitsch, USCG. For the Active Service category, please e-mail applications to CAPT Heitsch at [email protected]. Note, applications for Active Service Members can submitted at any time throughout the club season. Active Service membership is approved by the Board at regular monthly meetings of the Board of Governors. Meanwhile, as Associate Membership remains extremely limited. There are currently no open positions for Associate Membership and applications are being held by me. They will be acted on, on a first-come, first-serve basis, when open positions are available. Sponsors proposing members in the Associate Member category will be notified when an opening becomes available for their candidate. Please send all Regular and Associate Member applications to: Randall D. Preston 126 George Hill Road Grafton, MA 01519-1416 E-Mail: [email protected] A NOTE FROM THE CLUB TREASURER I am pleased to be able to report to you that we now have an Assistant Treasurer to fill the position held by the late Chuck Hyland! He is COL Dave Wall, USMC. Because the dues process for 2015 is now largely behind us, most of Dave’s duties will be held for the 2016 dues process. Meanwhile, Dave will be backing me up with a learning-curve during the remainder of this season. THE WARDROOM CLUB DUES PROCESS FOR 2015 is now history - LAST CALL was in January. For those who

  • 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.

  • Asians and Pacific Islanders in the Civil War March 2015 Note: This Is a Working Document
    Asians and Pacific Islanders in the Civil War March 2015 Note: This is a working document. The names noted in bold designate soldiers and sailors whose service has been confirmed and corroborated by various sources. The names not listed in bold are strong leads that require continued investigation to definitively confirm their service and ethnicity. This may be the largest repository of API servicemen in existence, but it is not comprehensive. There are likely more servicemen who have been discovered by other researchers, and still others whose stories have yet to be recovered. Information on Servicemen Tannroi Acoaw, born Canton, China; enlisted August 14, 1862, aged 23, at New Orleans, for three years; personal details at the time of enlistment shown as black eyes, black hair and dark complexion; previous occupation, cook; served as officers’ cook on the USS Pinola.

He felt sure the name had been used before, and it had. The name of the expedition was changed, but the original choice has since been used again anyway, and both occurrences were the result of the lack of means to check for such duplication. It was pointed out to the staff of the Ship Scheduler's Office that there was a list of names of previous expeditions that had been compiled originally by the Curator of Geology, and revised by his staff. It was comprised primarily of expeditions and samples of direct concern to geologists. Since the person contacted for this list (though there were numerous copies scattered around as part of a geological curating manual) • had also been involved in enlarging the original, it seemed rather logical (to some) that this person should be the one to update the list insofar as possible.

    PLY SUP CO VY R A P The S N F OUNDATION Oakleaf The newsletter of the U.S. Navy Supply Corps Foundation Winter 2020 Finding strength through Community By Tara Ann Neville, Editor The year 2020 has been like no other. The threat and spread of COVID-19 created obstacles to managing our most basic needs: food, shelter and engagement. From day care centers to nursing homes, from maternity wards to emergency rooms, from schools to businesses to government organizations, the effects of the pandemic were felt by all across the world. Throughout the year, there were ups and downs as families adjusted to the ever-changing government guidelines and mourned too many loved ones who passed away due to COVID-related issues. We swapped our 2020 hopes and dreams for needs and necessities, yet we remain anxious about the unknown risks we take and the long-term effects of the pandemic on our family, career and health. Please know you are not alone. Your Supply Community is traversing alongside you. As you’ll read on the following pages, your Community has kept their hearts open to giving and receiving throughout 2020 and will continue to “take care of our own” as we turn the calendar to 2021. With the end of the year fast approaching, we can all use a reminder of how grateful our Members are for the monetary sup- port our scholarships offer their children and spouses. On page 5, read how a 2020 scholarship helped the Sarnowski Family to send their daughter to school after COVID took away her ability to work and save the extra money needed for college.
