  • 17Th Annual Georgia Symposium on Ethics and Professionalism: October 6, 2016
    Keynote Address 17th Annual Georgia Symposium on Ethics and Professionalism: October 6, 2016 by Lt. Col. Benjamin Grimes* Professional identity is a mercurial thing. It is a combination of skills, values, and ways of thinking that identifies us to others and forms the basis of our understanding of ourselves. But why should we endeavor to affirmatively instill a certain identity-or to provide the seeds of profes- sional identity-in our students and young attorneys? To what end is identity useful, what elements are important, and how do we do it? Unlike the many participants in this Symposium and contributors to this issue of the Mercer Law Review, I am neither an academic nor a re- markable practitioner. I have taught new attorneys, LL.M. students, and trial practitioners, but I was a professor of law for only a short time. What I offer below are my reflections on identity after a career in the Army as a lawyer, officer, and leader. Like all such commentary, mine is intensely personal, informed by my experiences, and influenced by my present stage-transitioning out of uniform and my insular military practice and into a broader profession whose breadth and diversity is amazing. I offer my experiences to you as an example of the power of identity, to remind educators that your students are listening, and to inspire students and *Lieutenant Colonel (Retired), U.S. Army Judge Advocate General's Corps, and Deputy Director, U.S. Department of Justice Professional Responsibility Advisory Office.

I always say that I landed on Omaha Beach, but I don't tell people that it was six weeks after the contested landing.

  • General James H. Doolittle, US Army
    General James H. Doolittle, U.S. Army Brigadier General James H. Doolittle received his Medal of Honor citation for World War Two in 1942: “For conspicuous leadership above the call of duty, involving personal valor and intrepidity at an extreme hazard to life. With the apparent certainty of being forced to land in enemy territory or to perish at sea, Gen. Doolittle personally led a squadron of Army bombers, manned by volunteer crews, in a highly destructive raid on the Japanese mainland.” General Doolittle was an American aviation pioneer recalled to active duty during WW II and awarded the Medal of Honor for his valor and leadership as commander of the Doolittle Raid, a bold long-range retaliatory strike on the Japanese main islands months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. He was eventually promoted to lieutenant general and commanded the 12th Air Force over North Africa, the 15th Air Force over the Mediterranean, and the 8th Air Force over Europe. Early Life and Education: Doolittle was born in Alameda, CA. He attended Los Angeles City College and later won admission to the University of California, Berkeley where he studied in The School of Mines. Doolittle enlisted in the Signal Corps Reserve in 1917 as a flying cadet, he ground trained at the Army’s School of Military Aeronautics, and flight- trained at Rockwell Field, CA. Doolittle received his Reserve Military Aviator rating and was commissioned a first lieutenant in the Army Signal Officers Reserve Corps on March 11, 1918. Family: Doolittle married Josephine "Joe" E. Daniels on December 24, 1917.

  • Eisenhower, Dwight D.: Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69
    EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: POST-PRESIDENTIAL PAPERS, 1961-69 1968 PRINCIPAL FILE Series Description The 1968 Principal File contains the main office files of Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Gettysburg Office. The series is divided into three subseries. The first thirty-six boxes comprise a subject file arranged by categories, such as appointments, Eisenhower Center, foreign affairs, gifts, invitations, memberships, messages, political affairs, public relations, and trips. The alphabetical subseries occupies the next eleven boxes, and is arranged by the name of the individual or organization corresponding with Eisenhower. The final four boxes contain the “Bulk File” subseries, which has printed materials and oversized items. In 1968 Dwight Eisenhower suffered heart attacks in April and August, and he spent a number of months in the hospital, first at March Air Force Base in California and later at Walter Reed in Washington, D.C. His health problems greatly affected his ability to keep up his correspondence and limited the number of appointments he could keep. The series contains a large number of get-well letters and cards. Many requests for endorsements, special messages, autographs, gifts, and letters, as well as invitations to various events, were turned down by his office staff due to Eisenhower’s ill health and the limits placed on his activities by his doctors. Although Ike’s ability to travel and participate in many events was restricted by his growing health concerns, he continued to communicate with many prominent people on vital issues of the day. His correspondence frequently contains comments on U.S. foreign policy, particularly on Vietnam and the Middle East.
