  • War Hero Followed Family Legacy
    War Hero Followed Family Legacy It was June 24, 1898, a hot tropical day in Cuba, when a group of Indian Territory boys took part in one of the first battles of the Spanish American War. The U.S. had entered into the war in aid of Cubans who were fighting for their independence from Spain. President William McKinley had sought to create an all- volunteer cavalry unit to send to Cuba. The plan was for this unit to be filled with men from the western terri- tories – Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Indian Territory. In Muskogee, federal judge John R. Thomas, Sr. was in charge of recruiting two troops. He took an ac- tive interest in this role and under his guidance saw Troop L and Troop M embark from Muskogee to a train- ing camp in San Antonio, Texas. His own son, Lieutenant John R. Thomas, Jr., was among these troops. Once in San Antonio, the First U.S. Volunteer Cavalry – its official name – quickly became know as Theodore Roosevelt’s Rough Riders. Roosevelt had resigned his position as assistant Secretary of the Navy to serve as lieutenant colonel in this regiment. At the Battle of Las Guasimas, 500 Americans faced a force of 2,000 Spaniards. Skeptics had questioned how these famed Rough Riders would per- form under battle conditions. Also at the battle was the Tenth Calvary, an all- black unit known as the Buffalo Soldiers who had at various times served I.T. forts. The regular cavalry also had a unit present at Las Guasimas.

African American Soldiers in the Philippine War: An Examination of the Contributions of Buffalo Soldiers during the Spanish American War and Its Aftermath, 1898–1902. Doctor of Philosophy (History), August 2017, 294 pp., 8 tables, bibliography, 120 titles. During the Philippine War, 1899 – 1902, America attempted to quell an uprising from the Filipino people. Four regular army regiments of black soldiers, the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry, and the Twenty-Fourth and Twenty-Fifth Infantry served in this conflict. Alongside the regular army regiments, two volunteer regiments of black soldiers, the Forty-Eighth and Forty-Ninth, also served. During and after the war these regiments received little attention from the press, public, or even historians. These black regiments served in a variety of duties in the Philippines, primarily these regiments served on the islands of Luzon and Samar. The main role of these regiments focused on garrisoning sections of the Philippines and helping to end the insurrection. To carry out this mission, the regiments undertook a variety of duties including scouting, fighting insurgents and ladrones (bandits), creating local civil governments, and improving infrastructure.

  • A New Teddy Roosevelt
    return to updates A New Teddy Roosevelt by Miles Mathis First published March 10, 2021 Before we get started, I wish to thank all those who have donated or sent me stuff in the past couple of weeks. It should help in my upcoming move. A lot of people keyed on the coffee suggestion, and I now have enough coffee for the next couple of years. So no more coffee please. We will have to come up with some other ideas. This paper was born from me rereading my recent paper on McKinley for typos, where I was reminded that Roosevelt used the fake assassination by leftists as an excuse for coming in and cracking down on the entire left side of American society, not only Marxists, but unionists, progressives, and normal Democrats. And remember two things: one, Roosevelt did this from the Republican party; two, he did it while being sold as a populist and protector of the little man and the middle class. He is still sold as a Progressive Republican, which is a joke. Roosevelt was extremely wealthy and privileged, and, like all Presidents, was a tool of the bankers. Roosevelt's mother was a Stewart, and so was her mother, so he was a Stewart in the maternal line. He was also an Oswald, a Carter, and a Bulloch. And yes, this links us to Lee Harvey Osward, Jimmy Carter, and Sandra Bullock. Roosevelt and all his kin are listed in the British peerage. I have warned you they are prepping us for another big crackdown on the left, though we are still in the first stages.

  • Harvard's Medal of Honor Recipients
    Medal of Honor recipients from Harvard University 27 July 2020 Harvard graduates have a proud but often untold history of duty, honor and country through their military service to our country. The recipients of the Medal of Honor, of course, merit the highest honor and respect. With a bit of research, Captain Mawn, Chairman of the Advocates for Harvard ROTC, discovered that Harvard has 18 Medal of Honor (MOH) recipients among its alumni including 10 from Harvard College, which is more than any university in the world. As expected, graduates of the US Military Academy at West Point and the US Naval Academy at Annapolis have merited the most Medals of Honor (i.e. respectively 83 &73). The Air Force Academy has one MOH alumnus and there are none from the US Coast Guard Academy. To be “picky”, these outstanding military institutions of learning & leadership are “Academies” & not “universities”. Reportedly, George Washington University in Washington (DC) also has a significant number of Medal of Honor recipient alumni among whom most seemed to be career military officers that received a master degree in a “GW” graduate school while stationed in the DC area. Based on information to date, other universities with Medal of Honor recipients include: Princeton (9), University of Washington (8), Texas A&M (8), Virginia Tech (7), Virginia Military Institute (7), Dartmouth (3), Holy Cross (3) Columbia (1), Notre Dame (1), Rutgers (1) & The Citadel (1). It should also be noted that Texas Aggie, VA Tech, VMI & The Citadel have a Corps of Cadets with long tradition of military service, many of whom served in the Confederate Forces during the Civil War.

    Advocates for Harvard ROTC . Telephone: (978) 443-9532 11 Munnings Drive Email: [email protected] Sudbury, MA 01776 23 march 2018 From: Captain Paul E. Mawn USN (Ret.) To: Advocates for Harvard ROTC Subject: World War I - Harvard alumni veterans Medal of Honor Legion d’Honneur Distinguished Service Order Distinguished Service Cross Navy Cross The President, in the name of Congress, awards the Medal of Honor to the individual who, while as an active member of the US Armed Forces distinguishes himself or herself conspicuously, at the risk of his or her life above and beyond the call of duty, by courage and intrepidity. The act or acts of heroism must have required a risk of life and the individual have displayed personal bravery or self-sacrifice so extraordinary as to set the individual apart from his or her comrades. The 2nd highest US military decorations for valor have a different name and date of origination by service. For the US Army, this award is called the Distinguished Service Cross and was established by the US congress in 1918. The equivalent award for the Navy and US Marine Corps is the Navy Cross, which was first awarded in 1917 and formally approved by the US congress in 1931 (note: the Navy Cross may also be awarded to deserving US Coast Guard personnel during a formal war when the USCG is operating as part of the USN). The Air Force Cross was established by the US congress in 1960 (note: previously deserving personnel in the US Army Aero Squadrons of the Signal Corps (WW I), US Army Air Corps (1920’s to 1947) or US Air Force (1947 to 1960) were awarded the Distinguished Service Cross).
