Now, belatedly, is the moment for us to pay such attention.” Air Force General (Ret.) and Former CIA and NSA Director, Michael Hayden: “[It’s] a great idea [to rename bases with Confederate names]” Former Special Presidential Envoy for the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS, Special Assistant to the President, and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, Brett McGurk: “Thoughtful reflections coming from currently serving and retired Generals and Admirals [on the need to replace the names of Army bases and remove Confederate symbols]” Former Secretary of the Army, Director of the White House Military Office, and Retired Army Officer Louis Caldera, and Former Ambassador and Retired Decorated Army Officer Charles Ray: “Intentionally or unintentionally, the current name continues to celebrate a cause and set of beliefs that dishonor the sacrifices of all soldiers, regardless of ethnicity who train at this installation.” Former Ambassador and Retired Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps, John Estrada: “[The Confederate flag] represents bondage.

  • Master Sargent Roy Benavidez – Medal of Honor Recipient – Vietnam
    Master Sargent Roy Benavidez – Medal of Honor Recipient – Vietnam "Sergeant Benavidez' gallant choice to join voluntarily his comrades who were in critical straits, to expose himself constantly to withering enemy fire, and his refusal to be stopped despite numerous severe wounds, saved the lives of at least eight men. His fearless personal leadership, tenacious devotion to duty, and extremely valorous actions in the face of overwhelming odds were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service, and reflect the utmost credit on him and the United States Army." - Medal of Honor citation Behold the story of Roy Benavidez: It was supposed to be a simple recon mission. A small team of ultra-elite ass-kicking American Green Berets was infiltrating deep into the thick jungles several miles beyond the Cambodian border on a super- classified stealth mission to gather information on North Vietnamese Army troop movements. But when the evac choppers limped back to base looking like they'd just been run through a gigantic, helicopter- sized microwave, it was obvious that things hadn't gone all that smoothly for the men of the 1st Special Forces. 33-year-old Master Sergeant Roy P. Benavidez was off-duty attending church services when the fighting began, but he'd spent the last ten minutes anxiously monitoring the radio chatter from the front. The 12- man squad of Green Berets had stumbled into an intense firefight, and now Benavidez's brochachos suddenly found themselves surrounded and pinned down by a full battalion of North Vietnamese infantry – somewhere between 500 and 1,500 veteran soldiers who weren't in the mood to sling their rifles and politely ask the Americans why the hell they were traipsing around Eastern Cambodia with M-16s, cameras, and walkie-talkies.

  • A Phenomenological Study of Organizational Change in an Urban Community College System
    A phenomenological study of organizational change in an urban community college system by Leslie Rodriguez-McClellon B.A., Langston University, 1989 M.Ed., Langston University, 1997 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF EDUCATION Department of Educational Leadership College of Education KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2020 Abstract The purpose of this study was to explore the lived experience of participants during the organizational change process initiated by the Houston Community College System (HCCS). A qualitative research method, specifically, a phenomenology approach, was used to evidence the lived experiences of participants during this phenomenon. Fourteen full-time administrators, faculty, and staff were selected through the purposeful and systematic sampling process. Participants must have worked for HCCS three years or more. This study investigated the initiation of organizational change, the framework selected for transformation, and the lived experiences of individuals during this process. Kotter’s eight stages of change were employed for transformation into a matrix organizational. Seven major themes and three minor themes represent the findings depicting the essence of participant experiences with the change process and matrix structure. The study’s findings indicate change being initiated with the appointment of a new chancellor and the need for centralization to increase efficiency as the reason Kotter’s change process was selected. Implementation was described as top-down but involved stakeholder input in multiple forums, multichannel communication, and transparency. Institutional size and entrenched environmental habits raised communication barriers making change difficult. Participants described experiences consistent with the change cycle model but described the change process as positive and satisfying.
