  • Appendix As Too Inclusive
    Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen Appendix I A Chronological List of Cases Involving the Landing of United States Forces to Protect the Lives and Property of Nationals Abroad Prior to World War II* This Appendix contains a chronological list of pre-World War II cases in which the United States landed troops in foreign countries to pro- tect the lives and property of its nationals.1 Inclusion of a case does not nec- essarily imply that the exercise of forcible self-help was motivated solely, or even primarily, out of concern for US nationals.2 In many instances there is room for disagreement as to what motive predominated, but in all cases in- cluded herein the US forces involved afforded some measure of protection to US nationals or their property. The cases are listed according to the date of the first use of US forces. A case is included only where there was an actual physical landing to protect nationals who were the subject of, or were threatened by, immediate or po- tential danger. Thus, for example, cases involving the landing of troops to punish past transgressions, or for the ostensible purpose of protecting na- tionals at some remote time in the future, have been omitted. While an ef- fort to isolate individual fact situations has been made, there are a good number of situations involving multiple landings closely related in time or context which, for the sake of convenience, have been treated herein as sin- gle episodes. The list of cases is based primarily upon the sources cited following this paragraph.

(August 2008) Charles Hughes Williams, III, B.A., University of Virginia Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. James C. Bradford Between 1893 and 1920 the rising tide of racial antagonism and discrimination that swept America fundamentally altered racial relations in the United States Navy. African Americans, an integral part of the enlisted force since the Revolutionary War, found their labor devalued and opportunities for participation and promotion curtailed as civilian leaders and white naval personnel made repeated attempts to exclude blacks from the service. Between 1920 and 1942 the few black sailors who remained in the navy found few opportunities. The development of Jim Crow in the U.S.

Pearl Harbor Quadrangle, Hawaii, 1999 7.5 Minute Series (Topographic) (Scale - 1 :24,000) Universal Transverse Mercator Coordinates: 4.606640.2360370 Significance: Facility No. 1 was associated with the Navy's development of degaussing technology, which was used to protect ships from magnetic mines in World War II. The degaussing range house was linked to the deperming facilities built during the war at Beckoning Point, further north on the Waipio Peninsula. These facilities are representative of the great expansion of the Pearl Harbor Naval Base during WWII to include Waipio Peninsula and other outlying lands. The range house embodies distinctive characteristics of a unique building type, which controlled a new technology. Description: Facility No. 1 was located on the southern tip of Waipio Peninsula, where the Pearl Harbor entrance channel splits into two branches, one to West Loch and one to the main part of the harbor around Ford Island.

It finishes the chronicling of the 3rd and 4th quarter activities of the Lt. Edward Lea USN Camp No. 2. As we move into the New Year, I expect to return to the normal quarterly publishing schedule. 2018 promises to be another active year for the Camp! I hope you will join us in promoting the principles of our Order by attending or participating in the various activities and events planned for the coming months. I wish you all a happy and prosperous new year! In C, F, & L Michael Lance - Editor Visit to the African American Civil War Memorial and Museum October 11-13, 2017 - Washington, DC Originally, the purpose of our trip to Washington, DC was to visit the new National Museum of African American History & Culture which opened in 2016. But as the trip planning developed, I realized that this was my opportunity to also visit the African American Civil War Memorial and Museum. I had been trying to visit this museum for the last fifteen years. I had previously traveled to Virginia and North Carolina, but could never make it to Washington, DC. The African American Civil War Memorial and Museum is located at 1925 Vermont Ave. NW in Washington, DC.
