On Behalf Of A Grateful Nation Speech

  on behalf of a grateful nation speech: A Grateful Nation Soon Forgot John Lee, 2023-05-12 The purpose of this book is to inform with unique sources of documentary evidence a detailed contemporary account of a momentous unsung event in defence of our nation in WWII. For the eager reader or student wishing to add to their knowledge the author has created an historical reference work. This largely unknown part of WW II history was summed up by the great A. P. Herbert (Sir Alan Herbert) as “A Grateful Nation Soon Forgot”. AP, as he was known, was involved in these historic events throughout the war. From 1939-1945 The Naval Control Service (NCS) controlled vital convoy operations from Southend. Many WW1 Battle of Jutland veterans descended on Southend as volunteers for convoy work. These men of experience included Admirals and Vice Admirals who commanded the earliest supply convoys. Many of the NCS team in residence were well known nationally distinguished men and women. Southend’s longest sea pier in the world, stretches for one and one third miles out into the Thames Estuary and has at its end a deep water harbour. At the gateway to The Thames and North Sea it was ideal for convoy operations. The Germans were aware of this and would come to destroy the facility and close The Thames in a night bombing raid by the Luftwaffe on 22nd November 1939. They had not expected the foresight of Capt. John Pelham Champion CBE., DSO., RN in command of the NCS. By his hunch in guessing when they would come, the Pier was prepared with an armed defence. Not only was the German plan thwarted but the Thames to London stayed open for the duration of the war against the stated prediction of Winston Churchill.
  on behalf of a grateful nation speech: Grateful Nation Ellen Moore, 2017-10-26 In today's volunteer military many recruits enlist for the educational benefits, yet a significant number of veterans struggle in the classroom, and many drop out. The difficulties faced by student veterans have been attributed to various factors: poor academic preparation, PTSD and other postwar ailments, and allegedly antimilitary sentiments on college campuses. In Grateful Nation Ellen Moore challenges these narratives by tracing the experiences of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans at two California college campuses. Drawing on interviews with dozens of veterans, classroom observations, and assessments of the work of veteran support organizations, Moore finds that veterans' academic struggles result from their military training and combat experience, which complicate their ability to function in civilian schools. While there is little evidence of antimilitary bias on college campuses, Moore demonstrates the ways in which college programs that conflate support for veterans with support for the institutional military lead to suppression of campus debate about the wars, discourage antiwar activism, and encourage a growing militarization.

Natalle, Jenni Simon, 2015-08-27 Michelle Obama: First Lady, American Rhetor is an edited anthology that explores the persona and speech-making of the country’s first African American first lady. The result of these thought-provoking essays is an interdisciplinary text that explores the First Lady from a rhetorical and cultural point of view. Authors analyze her Democratic National Convention speeches, her brand as First Lady, her communication from her latest trip to Africa, her agenda rhetoric in Let’s Move! and Reach Higher, and her coming out as a Black feminist intellectual when she spoke at Maya Angelou’s memorial service. Readers will recognize Michelle Obama as a rhetor of our times—a woman who influences America at the intersections of gender, race, and class and who is representative of what women are today.

  on behalf of a grateful nation speech: You, Sir, Are an Idiot Richard Larsen, 2005-04 You, Sir, Are an Idiot compiles journalist Richard Edward Larsen's short columns on America's recent big events. Larsen's columns arise from the belief that reasonable debate must be restored to understand and to resolve the issues polarizing too much of public debate in the United States. No topic escapes Larsen's observations: On Iraq war justification: No, this is not a failure of the intelligence agencies, it is a failure of this administration to use the intelligence intelligently. On war images: We should never avert our eyes from the violence we visit upon ourselves in the name of hatred or politics or religion. On self-improvement: I'm not sure when the tradition of new year's resolutions began, but I wouldn't be surprised if it started when a female Neanderthal looked at her mate one New Year's Eve and said, 'You need to quit slouching.' On the future: Peace is not merely a process, it is a commitment to the future of mankind. Larsen's columns urge us to question what we are told, to look beyond the superficial and to exercise always our basic right to look someone in the eye and say, You, sir, are an idiot.

  on behalf of a grateful nation speech: Foreign Policy Discourses of the Obama Years Melinda Kovács, 2017-12-18 For any action in foreign policy to be possible, it has to first appear as plausible in the spoken and written discourses of foreign policy. This is the basic axiom at the core of the case studies that Kovács carries out in Foreign Policy Discourses of the Obama Years. In each case study, she investigates discursive products such as presidential speeches and news accounts, with the purpose of teasing out the types of meanings that emerge. These meanings, she argues, have an impact on the types of foreign policy action the Obama administration could plausibly undertake. The findings show both that foreign policy in the US is mostly understood and evaluated in terms of its impact on domestic politics, and that the study of discourses surrounding foreign policy is a useful tool for assessing administrations.

  on behalf of a grateful nation speech: The Olympic Games: Meeting New Global Challenges David Hassan, Shakya Mitra, 2016-03-17 As the World’s greatest sporting event, the Olympic Games has always commanded intrigue, analysis and comment in equal measure. This book looks to celebrate the significance of the Olympics, their historical impact, controversies that presently surround them and their possible future direction. It begins with a detailed, if controversial, analysis of the scale of the modern Summer Olympics and considers whether in fact the Games have simply become too big? Thereafter considerable coverage is afforded the often contentious bidding process, required of successful host cities wishing to attract the Games, and asks why some cities are successful and others are not. This book also reflects on the growing security measures that surround the Olympics and considers their full impact on the civil liberties of those impacted by them. For scholars of the Olympic movement this book represents essential reading to understand further the Olympic Games, their significance and effect, as the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro draw ever closer. This book was published as a special issue of Sport in Society.

  on behalf of a grateful nation speech: They Answered the Call Gil Dominguez, 2004 Latinos have fought in every conflict in which the United States has been involved, from the American Revolution to Operation Iraqi Freedom. Regardless of whether they were inductees or volunteers, Latino soldiers, sailors, airman, and Marines served with great distinction and bravery, compiling a record of courage unmatched by any other group of Americans: Thirty-nine Medals of Honor earned -- fourteen of those for service in Vietnam. Yet the American public is largely unaware of the sacrifices made by Latino citizens, mainly because of the lack of writings on the subject. This book is an attempt to fill the void in the literature dealing with the role of Hispanics in war; in this case, America's longest and most unpopular conflict. The author interviewed twenty-one warriors who candidly relate their experiences in combat and share their feelings about the war and what it means to be a Latino Vietnam vet.
