A newly created Advisory Board will raise funds for the development and implementation of this long term project. Col. Robert Poydasheff, Ranger Hall of Fame and attorney who is also a former Mayor of Thursday at the Infantry Columbus, will greet us at lunch. Colonel Poydasheff serves as the attorney for the Ranger Museum Foundation and has agreed to serve as the pro-bono attorney for our new Advisory Board. A FIRST at the Museum: Peter Stern, son of Ranger Photographer Phil Stern has donated 75 of Phil's wartime photographs to the Descendants and we will be selling them at the Thursday at the Infantry Museum. Liesel Bradner, Stern family friend and a journalist from Los Angeles, has made Museum this possible. She will be joining us at our reunion to set up the exhibit and help facilitate the sale. We can probably use some help at the sale. Andrea Buchanan : "I have such fond memories of past reunions, especially when my father, Colonel Leo Strausbaugh, B Company, 6th Ranger Battalion, was alive. I have continued attending Why because it is a way for me to honor him and the other Rangers, as well as to renew acquaintances, Attend ? many of whom have become friends. I am incredibly excited about the Descendants building a Ranger Library which will perpetuate the history and memory of our heroes, not only for us, but for generations to come." 102101_Layout 1 4/5/17 8:46 AM Page 4 Z'/^dZd/KEĨŽƌϮϬϭϳZhE/KEͲ:ƵŶĞϮϳʹ:ƵŶĞϯϬ͕ϮϬϭϳ Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of World War II Rangers Descendants of World War II Rangers Hilton Garden Inn, Columbus, Ga Registration Deadline - May 19, 2017 Cost per Number person Attending Total Cost Tuesday, June 27 Reunion Registration $ 45.00 $ 5:00 PM Reception & Dinner - Hilton Garden Inn $ 33.00 $ 7:00 PM Movie Night N/C Wednesday, June 28 Ranger Hall of Fame - Fort Benning 11:30 AM Lunch - Fort Benning $ 17.00 $ 5:00 PM Dinner - BBQ at Fort Benning $ 20.00 $ (Meals include bus transportation) Tour of Ranger Memorial Thursday, June 29 Ranger Change of Command - Ft.

    America’s Rangers: The Story of America’s First Warriors and their Journey from Tradition to Institution by James Sandy, B.A. A Thesis In HISTORY Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS Approved Dr. John R. Milam Chair of Committee Dr. Laura Calkins Dr. Barton Myers Peggy Gordon Miller Dean of the Graduate School August, 2011 Copyright 2011, James Sandy Texas Tech University, James Sandy, Summer 2011 Acknowledgments This work would not have been possible without the constant encouragement and tutelage of my committee. They provided the inspiration for me to start this project, and guided me along the way as I slowly molded a very raw idea into the finished product here. Dr. Laura Calkins witnessed the birth of this project in my very first graduate class and has assisted me along every step of the way as a fantastic proofreader and a wonderful sounding board where many an idea was first verbalized. Dr. Calkins has been and will continue to be invaluable mentor and friend throughout my graduate education. Dr. Barton Myers was the latest addition to my committee, but he pushed me to expand my project further back into American History. The vast scope that this work encompasses proved to be my biggest challenge, but has come out as this works’ greatest strength. I cannot thank Dr. Myers enough for pushing me out of my comfort zone. Dr. Ron Milam has been a part of my academic career from the beginning and has long served as my inspiration in pursuing a life in academia.

    SH 21-76 UNITED STATES ARMY HANDBOOK Not for the weak or fainthearted “Let the enemy come till he's almost close enough to touch. Then let him have it and jump out and finish him with your hatchet.” Major Robert Rogers, 1759 RANGER TRAINING BRIGADE United States Army Infantry School Fort Benning, Georgia FEBRUARY 2011 RANGER CREED Recognizing that I volunteered as a Ranger, fully knowing the hazards of my chosen profession, I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor, and high esprit de corps of the Rangers. Acknowledging the fact that a Ranger is a more elite Soldier who arrives at the cutting edge of battle by land, sea, or air, I accept the fact that as a Ranger my country expects me to move further, faster, and fight harder than any other Soldier. Never shall I fail my comrades I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong, and morally straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be, one hundred percent and then some. Gallantly will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well trained Soldier. My courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress, and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow. Energetically will I meet the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is not a Ranger word. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country.

  • The American Indian in the American Film
    THE AMERICAN INDIAN IN THE AMERICAN FILM Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in American Studies in the University of Canterbury by Michael J. Brathwaite 1981 ABSTRACT This thesis is a chronological examination of the ways in which American Indians have been portrayed in American 1 f.ilms and the factors influencing these portrayals. B eginning with the literary precedents, the effects of three wars and other social upheavals and changes are considered. In addition t-0 being the first objective detailed examination of the subj�ct in English, it is the first work to cover the last decade. It concludes that because of psychological factors it is unlikely that film-makers are - capable of advancing far beyond the basic stereotypes, and that the failure of Indians to appreciate this has repeatedly caused ill-feeling between themselves and the film-makers, making the latter abandon their attempts at a fair treatment of the Indians. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface iii Chapter I: The Background of the Problem c.1630 to c.1900. 1 Chapter II: The Birth of the Cinema and Its Aftermath: 1889 to 1939. 21 Chapter III: World War II and Its Effects: 1940 to 1955. 42 Chapter IV: Assimilation of Separatism?: 1953 to 1965. 65 Chapter V: The Accuracy Question. 80 Chapter VI: Catch-22: 1965 to 1972. 105 Chapter VII: Back to the Beginning: 1973 to 1981. 136 Chapter VIII: Conclusion. 153 Bibliography 156 iii PREFACE The aim of this the.sis is to examine the ways in which the American Indians have been portrayed in American films, the influences on their portrayals, and whether or not they have changed.
