Book excerpt: The present volume, first published in 1962, consists of two distinguished speeches given by the General of the U.S. Army, Douglas MacArthur. The first address took place on April 19, 1951 and was held before a joint meeting of the two houses of United States Congress—the House of Representatives and the Senate—and took place in the Hall of the House of Representatives. This meeting followed on just one week from MacArthur’s removal from command by President Harry S. Truman. The second address was held on May 12, 1921 and was given to The Members of the Association of Graduates, U.S.M.A., The Corps of Cadets, and Distinguished Guests. It was given on the occasion of MacArthur’s acceptance of the Sylvanus Thayer Award for outstanding service to the nation, which had gone to Eisenhower the year before. The event was held at the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York.

Book Synopsis Duty, Honor, Country and Wisconsin by : Tom Mueller
Download or read book Duty, Honor, Country and Wisconsin written by Tom Mueller. This book was released on 2013-08. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly 27,000 men and women from Wisconsin have made the Ultimate Sacrifice in the nation's wars, from the Civil War to the two World Wars to Korea to Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan. They are represented in "Duty, Honor, Country and Wisconsin" by several dozen men and women ranging from Oak Creek to Mayville and Beaver Dam to Menomonie to Sauk City / Prairie du Sac; and from Marshfield to Laona to Ettrick to Waupun; and from Dousman to Plover to Milwaukee. Author Tom Mueller has been reporting on this topic for three decades, and this is his fourth book. It includes more than two dozen who were lost in World War II, and two chapters about the 37 Wisconsin MIAs in Vietnam - the most extensive coverage of them as a group in decades, if not ever. Plus the stories of seven Civil War veterans who became Wisconsin governor, and some surprising details about Badger State men in World War I. And a review of the women who have made the Ultimate Sacrifice and how that has sharply increased in the last decade. The book also has interviews with more than three dozen veterans of wars ranging from World War II to Afghanistan.

Book Synopsis The Way of Duty, Honor, Country by : Charles Summerall
Download or read book The Way of Duty, Honor, Country written by Charles Summerall. This book was released on 2010-10-29. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After graduating from West Point in 1892, Charles Pelot Summerall (1867–1955) launched a distinguished military career, fighting Filipino insurgents in 1899 and Boxers in China in 1900. His remarkable service included brigade, division, and corps commands in World War I; duty as chief of staff of the U.S. Army from 1926 to 1930; and presidency of the Citadel for twenty years, where he was instrumental in establishing the school’s national reputation. Previously available only in the Citadel’s archives, Summerall’s memoir offers an eyewitness account of a formative period in U.S. Army history. Edited and annotated by Timothy K. Nenninger, the memoir documents critical moments in American military history and details Summerall’s personal life, from his impoverished childhood in Florida to his retirement from the Citadel in 1953. From the perspective of both a soldier and a general, Summerall describes how the very nature of war changed irrevocably during his lifetime.
