10.. Armed Forces Day Saturday, May 18, 2013 "United in Strength" - A Brief History –
by: NJROTC Cadet Commander Donald Wiegner (Middletown, DE), USMMA Midshipman Appointee Class of 2017
Text: President Harry S. Truman led the effort to establish a single holiday for citizens to come together and thank our military members for their patriotic service in support of our country.
On August 31, 1949, Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson announced the creation of an Armed Forces Day to replace separate Army, Navy and Air Force Days. The single-day celebration stemmed from the unification of the Armed Forces under one department -- the Department of Defense. Each of the military leagues and orders was asked to drop sponsorship of its specific service day in order to celebrate the newly announced Armed Forces Day. The Army, Navy and Air Force leagues adopted the newly formed day. The Marine Corps League declined to drop support for Marine Corps Day but supports Armed Forces Day, too.
The theme of the first Armed Forces Day was "Teamed for Defense." It was chosen as a means of expressing the unification of all the military forces under a single department of the government. Although this was the theme for the day, there were several other purposes for holding Armed Forces Day. It was a type of "educational program for civilians," one in which there would be an increased awareness of the Armed Forces. It was designed to expand public understanding of what type of job is performed and the role of the military in civilian life. It was a day for the military to show "state-of-the-art" equipment to the civilian population they were protecting. And it was a day to honor and acknowledge the people of the Armed Forces of the United States.
The first Armed Forces Day was celebrated by parades, open houses, receptions, and air shows. In Washington D.C., 10,000 troops of all branches of the military, cadets, and veterans marched pass the President and his party. In Berlin, 1,000 U.S. troops
paraded for the German citizens at Templehof Airfield. In New York City, an estimated 33,000 participants initiated Armed Forces Day "under an air cover of 250 military planes of all types." In the harbors across the country were the famed mothballed "battlewagons" of World War II, the Missouri, the New Jersey, the North Carolina, and the Iowa, all open for public inspection. Precision flying teams dominated the skies as tracking radar were exhibited on the ground. All across the country, the American people joined together to honor the Armed Forces.

11.. National Maritime Day - A Brief History –
By: RADM James Helis, Ph.D., USMS – Superintendent, United States Merchant Marine Academy
Text: A Short History on National Maritime Day
Background: The Voyage of the SS Savannah
On May 22, 1819, the S.S. Savannah left its home port of Savannah, Georgia, on its way to Liverpool, England. The ship "put to sea with steam and sails" and reached Liverpool, England, in 29 days and four hours, becoming the first steamship to cross the Atlantic.
While the steam engine performed faultlessly, it was not the only means of propulsion; historians have estimated that the Savannah was under sail 80% of the time. Nonetheless, it was an impressive achievement, one that signaled the beginning of the era of steam, and American technological leadership.
1933: Congress Declares May 22 to be National Maritime Day
By a Joint Resolution passed on May 20, 1933, Congress declared May 22nd to be National Maritime Day. This is the text of the resolution.
Whereas on May 22, 1819, the steamship The Savannah set sail from Savannah, Georgia, on the first successful transoceanic voyage under steam propulsion, thus making a material contribution to the advancement of ocean transportation:
Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That May 22 of each year shall hereafter be designated and known as National Maritime Day, and the President is authorized and requested annually to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe such National Maritime Day by displaying the flag at their homes or other suitable places and Government officials to display the flag on all Government buildings on May 22 of each year.
National Maritime Day has been declared a Day of Remembrance and Prayer for Mariners and People of the Sea by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. This Day of Remembrance and Prayer was Observed nationwide for the first time on May 22nd, 2007.

“I would ask at this time for Quarterdeck Honorary Bell Ringer Anne Marshall (daughter of Captain Harry Marshall (KP ’44)
to stand and be recognized”
Captain Marshall was born March 12, 1924, in Jackson (Breathitt County) Kentucky. His passing was December 18, 2012, in New Jersey.
He was the eldest child and eldest son of Thomas Franklin and Nelle (Haddix) Marshall. Harry William was named for his two grandfathers. He was born in the home of his maternal grandparents, William and Margaret (Gabbard) Haddix, both descendents of the original settlers of Breathitt County, Kentucky. Harry married Mary Margaret Kelly on August 30, 1947 and together they raised six accomplished children.
He was appointed to the U.S. Merchant Marine Cadet Corps in 1942. As a Deck Cadet, he served aboard the "Thomas Hartley" for sixteen months of which eight were spent in Murmansk and Molotovsh in Convoy IW53 which became known as the Forgotten Convoy."
After graduating in 1944, Harry Marshall joined American Foreign Steamship Corporation, a company whose origins predated World War I. Rising from Third Mate on the "Wildwood," he became Master of the "William P. McArthur" in 1947. In May, 1947, he came ashore serving as Assistant Port Captain, Port Captain and Vice President of Operations until mid-1984.
From 1984 to 1996, Harry was President and Owner of American Foreign Shipping Co., Inc. In that capacity he served as General Agent and Ship Manager for the Maritime Administration, managing freighters and tankers in the Ready Reserve Force. AFS was engaged in vessel conversions, no-notice activations, maintenance, upgrades and outportings as well as activating and operating RRF vessels in Desert Shield/Desert Storm. AFS also operated tankers in the USN Afloat Prepositioning Fleet during Somalia peace keeping. He was invited and testified, as Ship Manager, before the House Merchant Marine Subcommittee in the Persian Gulf Sealift hearings.
The service Captain Marshall has devoted to the U.S. Maritime Industry and to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point,
Ref: KP Ches NatMarDay Program Agenda final rev1 051813 page 3 of 6
NY, has been recognized with the 1979 Alumni Associations' Outstanding Professional Achievement Award, the 1999 Kings Pointer of the Year Award, and the 2004 Lifetime Achievement Award. He served as a Director Emeritus of the USMMA Alumni Foundation.
Captain Marshall’s other achievements/awards include: USMMA Room 105 Fulton Hall being named for him in 1992. On January 9, 2006, the conference room of the American Merchant Marine Museum at Kings Point was named for Captain Marshall. He also served as Chairman of the Kings Point Fiftieth Anniversary Class Gift Committee in 1994.
Vice Admiral Albert J. Herberger, (KP ’55)USN (Ret.), former Maritime Administrator, recognized Harry W. Marshall's outstanding achievements with these words: "...a lifetime of service to the US maritime industry and significant contributions, exceptional performance and long standing dedication to the Maritime Administration in support of Strategic Sealift."
We are pleased to welcome Captain Marshall’s Daughter, Anne Marshall, who will be ringing the ceremonial bell this day for in her father’s memory.

By: Captain Joseph Schwartzstein (KP ’96) – Association of Maryland Pilots &
Chairman KP Chesapeake Chapter Port of Baltimore Committee
Text: During WWII, Mariners, including Cadets enrolled at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, were on the front lines of War Zones the moment their ships left U.S. ports, subject to attack by submarines, surface raiders, mines, bombers, kamikaze, and land-based artillery.
Cadets went to sea with their books and were required to write reports Upon return, describing enemy craft seen, damage, lifeboat voyages, acts of heroism, etc.. In 450 reports filed, cadets described attacks on 250 different ships, of which 220 were sunk. At least 8,651 mariners were killed at sea, and an estimated 11,000 wounded. Among them were 142 Deck or Engine Cadets of the U.S. Merchant Marine Cadet Corps who were killed in action when their ships were torpedoed, bombed, or from other war-related causes. In addition, 68 men were killed soon after their speeded-up graduation.
Seven U.S. Merchant Marine Cadets were awarded the Distinguished Service Medal, the Merchant Marine's highest award for "heroism beyond the call of duty."
The U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, by virtue of its war dead, is the only Federal Academy authorized to carry a Battle Standard.
The USMMA KP Alumni - Chesapeake Chapter, Inc. dedicates this luncheon program to these “142 Cadet-Midshipmen” who were killed in action during WWII.
