Coleman, Jr. Foundation American veterans center world war II National vietnam veterans committee veterans committee The mission of the American Veterans Center is to preserve and promote the legacy of America’s ser- vicemen and women from the American Revolution through Operation Iraqi Freedom. The Center is comprised of two divisions - The World War II Veterans Committee and the National Viet- nam Veterans Committee. The American Veterans Center is also the sponsor of the National Memorial Day Parade in Washington, DC. “Bringing the legacy of the Greatest Generation to the latest generation” is the motto of the World War II Veterans Committee. Through documentary work, speaker programs, and its quarterly publication, World War II Chronicles, the World War II Veterans Committee seeks to bring the history of World War II to today’s students and young people. The newest project of the American Veterans Center is the National Vietnam Veterans Committee. Based on the outline of the World War II Veterans Committee, the National Vietnam Veterans Com- mittee not only seeks to tell the combat stories of Vietnam veterans, it also seeks to tell their stories after they returned home. While the popular media and fi lm depictions of Vietnam veterans were those of disillusioned men unable to adapt to life following the war, the truth is that most returned home to live productive and successful lives, and were proud to have served. The National Viet- nam Veterans Committee, through its programs which include the publication Valor: The Veterans of Vietnam, is working to tell the true story of Vietnam veterans which has so often been ignored. The National Memorial Day Parade is held each year along the National Mall in Washington, DC. Fol- lowing the outbreak of World War II, the tradition of a Memorial Day parade in the nation’s capital was ended. In 2004, a coalition of veterans groups came together to sponsor A Parade Salute to World War II Veterans, to coincide with the dedication of the National World War II Memorial. The parade proved such a success that it was decided that the old tradition of a Memorial Day parade be returned. Thus, the National Memorial Day Parade was born. In a magnifi cent tribute to America’s veterans and honored war dead of all eras, the National Memorial Day Parade features over 150 elements, including military and school bands, military units, fl oats, and youth groups, as well as hundreds of veterans from World War II through Iraq and Afghanistan. Programs of the American Veterans Center include: • World War II Chronicles and Valor: The Veterans of Vietnam: Published quarterly, World War II Chronicles, which takes its name from the popular radio series featuring Edward J. Herlihy, features stories by and about veterans of the Second World War. From overviews of battles to intimate stories of veterans, World War II Chronicles seeks to keep the legacy of the “Greatest Generation” alive by allowing them to tell their stories to an audience of over 50,000 subscribers. Chronicles’ newest companion publication, Valor: The Veterans of Vietnam, provides a forum for this next generation of heroes to share their experiences with the public. Copies of both publications are donated to over 200 VA hospitals around the country. • Documentaries: Following in the tradition of World War II Chronicles, the American Veterans Center has produced a number of radio documentary programs on World War II and military history, including D-Day: They Were There, Pearl Harbor: 60 Years of Echoes, and No Greater Love: The Four Chaplains and the Sinking of the Dorchester. • Veterans Chronicles and Proudly We Hail: Working with the Radio America network, the Ameri- can Veterans Center currently sponsors two weekly radio series, Veterans Chronicles and Proudly We Hail. Hosted by Gene Pell, Veterans Chronicles features interviews with the eyewitnesses to the great and tragic moments in military history. Proudly We Hail is a weekly radio magazine recorded on loca- tion at America’s military bases, historical sites, and museums, featuring tales of heroism, bulletins on veterans’ health issues, and news. • Youth Activities: The Center supports an annual essay contest with cash awards, a high school scholarship program, a college scholarship program, and a summer internship program. • World War II Curriculum: The World War II Veterans Committee is in the process of creating a comprehensive curriculum on World War II to be distributed to high school teachers across the country. The curriculum is designed to introduce students to the issues leading to World War II, the great battles of the war, and the civilian and military leaders involved. • Annual Conference: Each year the American Veterans Center’s national conference is held in Washington, DC, featuring some of America’s most distinguished veterans as speakers. Several hundred high school and college students participate in the conference. Additionally, the event includes wreath- laying ceremonies at the national war memorials, veteran-themed events around the city, and an annual awards banquet, honoring the service of the United States military’s greatest heroes. • Library and Archives: Each day, books on American military history are received, cataloged, and added to the Center’s library, which now numbers several hundred volumes. The Center also welcomes memoirs, personal accounts, newspaper clippings, and other records pertaining to American military history for inclusion.

  • An Investigation Into the Sublime Aesthetic Narratives of Contemporary Warfare a DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO
    Warring Opinions: An Investigation into the Sublime Aesthetic Narratives of Contemporary Warfare A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Melissa Vera Licht IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Thomas Pepper August, 2010 Copyright Melissa Vera Licht 2010 Acknowledgments Thank you to my grandfather, Jack Fox, for telling his war stories, even though they are not easy to repeat. Thank you to my advisor, Thomas Pepper, for his invaluable thought, attention, advice, and encouragement, and to the members of my committee, Cesare Casarino, John Mowitt, Jochen Schulte-Sasse, and Tom Augst, for the courses and questions that shaped my thinking, and for their patience throughout this process. Thank you to Eric Daigre for helping me to work even though he wasn’t sure why I wanted to work on what seemed such a strange, violent, and depressing set of texts. Thank you to Courtney Helgoe and Gretchen Gasterland-Gustafsson for being completely sure I could write a dissertation. i Abstract This project uses aesthetic concepts of the sublime as critical categories for exploring opinions and subjective responses to war as they are presented in selected soldiers’ memoirs, literary theory, films, and public affairs–from World War I to the (ongoing) Gulf War. Representations of sublime force as well as sublime sacrifice and idealism permeate even “objective” journalistic accounts of warfare and inform the perspectives through which we engage with war in thought and feeling. The project argues that “opinion” is not merely a rationally measurable statistical phenomenon but an aesthetic problematic through which we experience ourselves in relation to the world.

The purpose of this research is to adapt the approaches used by prominent and influential writers and artists in the American superhero/action comic-book field to create an engaging Australian hero comic book. Further, the aim of this thesis is to bridge the gap between the lack of academic writing on the professional practice of the Australian comic industry. In order to achieve this, I explored and learned the methods these prominent and professional US writers and artists use. Compared to the American industry, the creating of comic books in Australia has rarely been documented, particularly in a formal capacity or from a contemporary perspective. The process I used was to navigate through the research and studio practice from the perspective of a solo artist with an interest to learn, and to develop into an artist with a firmer understanding of not only the medium being engaged, but the context in which the medium is being created.

  • A History of the Nco
    A HISTORY OF THE NCO U.S. ARMY MUSEUM OF THE NONCOMMISSIONED OFFICER Written by L.R. ARMS Edited by Melissa Cooper March 2007 U.S. ARMY SERGEANTS MAJOR ACADEMY A US Army Museum of the Noncommissioned Officer Publication This publication is a work of the U.S. Government as defined in Title 17, U.S. Code, Section 101. As such, it is in the public domain, and under the provisions of Title 17, US Code, Section 105, it may not be copyrighted. Forward In 1989, the US Army Sergeants Major Academy published a work entitled A Short History of the NCO. This work provided the U.S. Army noncommissioned officer and researchers of NCO history with a concise, readable overview of NCO history. It contained accounts and actions of NCOs throughout history and brief descriptions of the evolution of the NCO Corps. A Short History of the NCO went through many printings and received wide dissemination throughout the NCO Corps. It can be found on the NCO Museum’s website and several other places on the internet. In the years that followed, America has called upon NCOs to fight in a number of conflicts. Three chapters have been added to cover the period from 1989 to the present: “Protection of National Interest,” “Desert Storm (1st Iraqi War),” and “Islamic Fundamentalism and the 2nd Iraqi War.” This allows the reader to catch up on the history of the noncommissioned officer. However, A History of the NCO seeks to accomplish more than to catch up on the years of NCO history that has followed since the printing of A Short History of the NCO.
