The decision to organize the Women's Reserve in the Division of Reserve was natural because the division was already responsible for recruiting all reserve personnel. Up to this point it had nothing to do with training, but now, it inherited all matters pertaining to the Women's Reserve, including training, uniforming, and administering. An organization created within the Division, the Women's Reserve Section, Officer Procurement Division, was staffed to handle the new activity. It very capably accomplished its first mission, the selection of a suitable woman for the position of Director of the MCWR when the eminently qualified Mrs.

  • General of the Armies John J. Pershing Synopsis: John Joseph Pershing Was Born in Laclede, Missouri, on September 13, 1860
    General of the Armies John J. Pershing Synopsis: John Joseph Pershing was born in Laclede, Missouri, on September 13, 1860. He graduated from West Point and went on to fight in the Indian wars as well as the Spanish- American War and the Philippines insurrection. In World War I, he commanded the American Expeditionary Force in Europe as General of the Armies, helping bring an end to the war. He quietly retired after the war and was buried with honors at Arlington National Cemetery. Early Life: John J. Pershing was the first of eight children born to John F. Pershing and Anne Elizabeth Thompson Pershing of Laclede, MO. John’s father was a prosperous businessman, working as a merchant during the Civil War and later owning a general store in Laclede and serving as postmaster. The family lost most of its assets during the panic of 1873, and John’s father was forced to take a job as a traveling salesman while John worked on the family farm. After high school graduation, John J. Pershing took a job teaching African American students at Prairie Mound School. He saved his money and then went to Missouri Norman School (now Truman State University) for two years. Though he grew up in an era of Civil War heroes, young John had no desire for a military career. But when an invitation to take the exam for the U.S. Military Academy at West Point came his way, he applied and received the top grade. Though not a great student (he would place 30th in a class of 77) he was elected class president, and his superiors noticed his leadership qualities.

    Advocates for Harvard ROTC . Telephone: (978) 369-8744 30 Monument Square Email: [email protected] Concord, Mass. 01742-1895 21 April 2017 From: Captain Paul E. Mawn USN (Ret.) To: Advocates for Harvard ROTC rd Subject: 3 highest award for valor among Harvard alumni Silver Star Distinguished Service Medal (Army) Navy Distinguished Service Medal The third highest award given to a member of any branch of the US military is the Silver Star for extraordinary heroism while engaged in military operations with an enemy of the US. This medal was established by congress in 1932 as the official successor decoration to the Citation Star which congress had established in 1918. Air Force pilots and Naval aviators are often considered to merit the Silver Star when becoming an Ace (i.e. 5 of more confirmed kills of enemy aircraft).The third highest British awards for valor in combat are the Military Cross (Army), Distinguished Service Cross (Royal Navy), Order of St, Michael & St. George, and the Distinguished Flying Cross (RAF), which are all the equivalent of the Silver Star awarded by the US military. The Distinguished Service Medal is the highest non-valorous decoration of the United States military which is issued for exceptionally meritorious service to the government of the United States to a senior officer of the US armed forces. The Distinguished Service Medal may or may not be awarded for combat related activities and is positioned between the Distinguished Service Cross/ Navy Cross and the Silver Star in terms of precedence, At his point, 92 Harvard men have been identified as recipients of 104 Silver Star Medals (including a few foreign military equivalents) or Distinguished Service Medals.
