the birthday of the united states is fourth july 1776. that means united states army is older than the united states of america. in other words, this country was founded on the back of the nested army and its soldiers, whether minutemen at bunker hill, valley forge, et cetera, et cetera, like that. this army that these men and women serving and we recruit people in, so the army our soldiers serve in is older than the republic they defend. i think it's important to understand as our board of directors, this special institution yet that is older than the country you are a citizen of, and quite honestly is responsible for even the existence of the country you are a citizen of and all the many great benefits we have and so again putting a prospective why i do appreciate the chance to come out and speak to our board of directors is one of the leaders of the oldest institution in the united states, in fact, older than the nation itself. so thanks a lot for support and god bless you all. thanks.

one thing you may not know is that john singleton mosby, colonel, confederate state's army, was inducted into the united states army ranger hall of fame in 1992. the first class inducted into the ranger hall of fame. he was inducted with a group of noteworthy individuals from ranger, special forces and airborne history. john mosby was one of those men. as i've said oftentimes, john mosby being inducted into the united states army ranger hall of fame is not unlike troy aikman from the dallas cowboys being inducted into the washington redskins hall of fame. it's about, you know, on a little more serious note, but nonetheless, his abilities, his skills are accepted and they still to this day remap a pain of special forces and ranger lineage in the united states army. that completes my talk. are there any questions?

you could literally see the united states army soldiers getting ready for your attack that would come in here. from this vantage point, you can understand how impressionive this fort was this was the largest fortification, coastal defense fortification during the confederacy in the civil war. started in 1861, union forces came, launched an amphibious operation. we have what remains of the fortification, only 10%. this fort was over a mile and a half long, and was pretty impressive to the point that it was almost psychologically as tough to think about attacking it as it was in attacking it. >> this was the largest amphibious operation undertaken by the united states up until june 6th of 1944 which was the invasion of france the united states had never undertaken any kind of activity. today it is still important to our current military to try to understand, how did this come off how did they supply these troops, how do you land 10,000 troops on an enemy beach and capture a fixed fortified position. >> it's about 32 miles up stream from the mouth of -- from the south mouth of the cape f

emerson was a contract surgeon for the united states army and as part of his service in the united states army as a contract civilian, he, like everyone else in the army, at all times in history of the u.s. army, constantly has to uproot and move and go to various places. i can testify to that as a card-carrying army brat. all right? you knew that you were only going to be about six to eight months in any one location before you were going to have to move on. well, emerson has to move on, too. so, he's stationed first at ft. armstrong in illinois. and then he's moved to ft. snelling in minnesota while minnesota at that point was still a territory. dr. emerson marries eliza sanford in 1838. alas, however, he dies in 1843. and dred scott, after the death of dr. emerson, dred scott sues for his freedom in the year 1846. eliza sanford, by the way, transfers ownership of dred scott to her brother, john sanford, in 1850. that's just a detail. so dred scott sues for his freedom. sues in the state courts in missouri. why? why do you think he would do that? quinn?

it affected these boys lives drastically one week with the united states army's help with a lot of fraternitiesve members from schools across the country. all of the fraternities out there, the alphas, the sigmas, the kappas and of course sigh five and we spend all of this time with these boys for one week. we have sent young men in to the military. we have sent young men to college. there are young men who come back every year as junior counselors to teach what they lea learned. and the success rate is huge. and that mentoring camp has been one of the main focuses of mine. and meeting dr. carson and understanding where he comes from and what he wants being from detroit and having a school with an inner city and wanting so much to help young people, it's a great chance to help young people. >> mr. secretary, when you hear that, you say what? >> i say amen. he's preaching the word. it's just who we really are. aren't we people who want each other to succeed. that's the way it used to be in this country. hand and help the next guy. and then he would reach back and help someone else. this is what

united states. you have to unload this material from the ship and in the united states army, which is completely segregated during the war, ed 9% of african-american soldiers will be assigned to this position. so that will also be problematic especially if people had been hoping to use military service as a way to advance the civil rights movement. and this is an interesting picture again if kind of encapsulates a lot of complex the logistical operation becom becomes. they have a sort of mechanized assembly line kind of system that's bringing the boxes and they are doing the heavy lifti lifting. they are in uniform but over the uniform are the work of her roles so they are even putting on the attire of the workers and it really emphasizes their status as not real soldiers as combatants and so for a lot of people that is going to end up being the reality of their service. when you go to the war it is to defend the country. relatively or nontraditional roles. in terms of going over to france, overall there are 400,000 african-american soldiers were drafted into the army or enlisted and half of them go to fra

the united states army was the size of holland's army, which had been conquered in five days. they said, we need all the weapons we have got. besides, if we do give them to britain or sell them they'll end up in german hands just as the aircraft we sold to france ended up in german hands. in the end they sent weapons to britain with many, many misgivings. the military assessment in britain was this. they said, if invasion is going to be prevented, it's going to be by the navy and the air force. if the germans land in britain and establish a bridgehead the army is not strong enough to drive them out. the air force meant the fighter pilots, fighter command who had been turned out 19, 20, even 18-year-olds turned out of training schools. a civil servant said to general isma, he said it looks as if all our futures may depend on a few hundred pink-cheeked young airmen. the germans seemed to have the same idea. they decided that in order to invade britain they had to first , destroy the r.a.f. and gain air supremacy and they set out to do just that. this was the battle of britain. f

peninsula campaign in 1862 and, again, this is a massive professional undertaking that the united states military moved an army that was the size, that if it had been a city, the army of the potomac would have been the ninth largest city in the united states and it moves it to the peninsula. and it's moving thousands of horses, enormous amounts of supplies, just this artillery part gives you an idea, a little hint of the scale and custer is a part of the professional side of that moment. he goes off and he's assigned to the topographical engineers. again, a technical branch of the military because the maps were so terrible, they had to draw new maps. and what did he do in that role? he's sitting there doing -- drafting at a table behind the lines? no. he was actually scouting ahead of the lines and this involved not only a going off on foot but also in an elevation booth. this is a new wave of technology. it's one of the first aerial military observers in human history. and he becomes good at it. i give stories about how he figures out how to estimate confederate forces through the tree cover in the warm sprin

let me thank the united states army museum who brought their equipment out, old military equipment that did work. it did work. and those firefighters hauled them down and we went and got these people. these are the kinds of episodes that happened in this catastrophic event. i want to, one, say that the federal government is the umbrella on a rainy day. we didn't have rain. we had a monsoon. nobody could understand what we're facing. let me again thank houston, let me thank the brand of this great city. we have a brand. get it done. everybody put it on the table to get it done. i want to thank the united states coast guard who are working today as we speak, the texas national guard. 12,000 of them here. marine unit that just came in that is going to continue to do some final sweeps. we have a cooking truck. maybe you can get some food in the back of the convention center. the faith community, the muslim community, all of these folks have been helpful. let me thank the u.s. department of agriculture. you may have heard that they're going to wave the provisions and allow our children to ha

grant comes east to take command of united states army. he is going to plan out his campaign. he has decided to headquarter himself with the army of the potomac, take on robert e lee straight on. there are going to be a number of other operations in the field. william sherman operates against atlanta, more campaigns in louisiana, more in southwestern virginia. benjamin butler. then there is the shenandoah valley, which had been this nuisance to the union army since the very beginning. stonewall jackson's valley campaign made a name for himself, constantly union armies being repulsed. grant wants to stop that once and for all. he is going to plan one offensive under siegel, who operate in conjunction with the other armies. so while mead and grant and lee fight in the wilderness, siegel will move up the valley. of course, the senate valley geography is a weird when you are moving south going up the valley, moving north going down the valley. siegel is moving south of the valley, and he will be defeated at the battle of newmarket, may 18, 1864, most famous for the involvement of

while he served for 20 years in the united states army.tructive thing to know is when the army -- even way back in the day when they figured out what they were dealing with him, he participated in 1979 when klan groups ambushed a leftie march and rally. he was in the national -- the american basically nazi party at the time and the army kicked him out for distributing racist propaganda. all of the branches of the military have had a policy of kicking them out if they find them to be part of racist or extremist groups. under ronald reagan issued a special directive. september 1986 he sent out a priority message reminding all services that all military personnel must reject participation in supremacist organizations. a few years later five air force mp's were thrown out of service for being klan members. 1995 it immerged they first met and made friends in kansas. partially in response to that the military reupped and strengthened regulations. military personnel must reject participation in organizations thats a pouz supremacist causes. comma

think the reason for that is, because if you look at jeep, it has a long history in the united states, used by the armyed by the army many years ago, but it is also considers the crown jewel of the chrysler, the most valuable part of the company, and the idea that a chinese firm might be able to buy part of it, buy it up in totality, is considered a big dealfor the it up in totality, is considered a big deal for the company because it up in totality, is considered a big dealfor the company because not only does get hold ofjeep, that it potentially gets a foothold here in the us market. and help us learn a bit more about this chinese car firm, how does it compare the big firms that we make the most valuable? they are better known in china for making suv? s —— suvs. most of them are sold in china, so compare that to jeep, most of them are sold in china, so compare that tojeep, not fiat chrysler as a whole, which sells close to 2 million vehicles, and gives you a sense of the scale of the difference. argue, could this be to you. the bbc business unit has been looking at death, and a report from new york o
