This Day in Marine Corps History

On June 2, 1918, the German 28th Division attacked American troops on the Paris-Metz Road, hitting the American 2nd Division, including the 4th Marine Brigade. The Marines opened fire with deadly accuracy, helping hand German troops a setback that set the stage for Marine victory at Belleau Wood which would soon follow.

United States Naval Academy Commencement Speech

Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III's commencement address to the United States Naval Academy Class of 2024 underscores the critical role of the Navy and Marine Corps in global security and leadership.  

Deterrence and Maintaining Global Order

In his address, Secretary Austin emphasized the combat credibility of the Navy and Marine Corps as a powerful deterrent that helps preserve the rules-based international order and prevents major conflicts. He stated, "The combat credibility of our Navy and Marine Corps teams is a powerful deterrent that helps preserve the rules-based international order and prevents a horrific conflict."   Austin highlighted the importance of these forces in deterring aggression and maintaining global stability. By projecting power and upholding international norms, the Navy and Marine Corps play a crucial role in safeguarding global peace and security.   Challenges from Revisionist Powers Secretary Austin warned of the challenges posed by revisionist powers like Russia and China, who seek to undermine the international order. He strongly criticized Russia's "brutal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine" and China's "coercive actions" in the Indo-Pacific region, which threaten the sovereignty of U.S. allies and partners. Austin's remarks underscored the need for vigilance and preparedness in the face of these threats. He emphasized that the actions of these countries pose significant challenges to global stability and the rules-based international order.  

Strengthening Alliances and Partnerships

The Secretary highlighted the importance of strengthening alliances and partnerships, stating, "Our unrivaled network of allies and partners is a force multiplier that gives us a tremendous strategic advantage over our competitors." He specifically mentioned the critical roles played by allies like Japan, South Korea, Australia, and NATO in maintaining a free and open Indo-Pacific and defending Ukraine against Russian aggression. Alliances and partnerships are key to achieving shared security goals and addressing common threats. Austin's speech reinforced the importance of these relationships in enhancing collective security and promoting global stability.   Investing in Advanced Military Capabilities To maintain military superiority, Secretary Austin stressed the need to invest in advanced capabilities, including hypersonic weapons, artificial intelligence, and other cutting-edge technologies crucial for future warfare. He emphasized the importance of staying ahead of potential adversaries in these emerging domains. Austin's focus on advanced capabilities reflects the Pentagon's strategic priorities in an increasingly complex and contested global security environment. By investing in these technologies, the United States aims to maintain its military edge and ensure readiness for future challenges.   Upholding Values and Developing Future Leaders In his concluding remarks, Secretary Austin urged the graduates to embrace the challenges ahead and lead with integrity, courage, and humility. He stated, "The world needs your leadership, your courage, and your commitment to the values that we cherish as Americans." Austin called on the future naval officers to uphold the values of democracy, freedom, and human rights that underpin the rules-based international order. Leadership with integrity and adherence to core values are essential for maintaining trust and effectiveness in the military. Austin's message to the graduates emphasized the importance of these principles in guiding their actions and decisions.   Key Points from Secretary Austin's Address Key Point Detail Deterrence Combat credibility of Navy and Marine Corps teams as a deterrent Revisionist Powers Challenges posed by Russia and China Alliances and Partnerships Importance of strengthening alliances with countries like Japan, South Korea, Australia, and NATO Advanced Capabilities Investment in hypersonic weapons, AI, and other cutting-edge technologies Leadership and Values Emphasis on integrity, courage, and upholding American values  

Significance of the Speech

Secretary Austin's speech at the United States Naval Academy highlighted the United States' commitment to deterring aggression, strengthening alliances, and maintaining military superiority in the face of challenges posed by revisionist powers like Russia and China. It underscored the importance of investing in advanced capabilities and developing future leaders to uphold American values and the rules-based international order. The Secretary's strong condemnation of Russian and Chinese actions signaled the administration's resolve to counter their destabilizing behavior and defend the interests of the United States and its allies. His emphasis on strengthening partnerships and developing cutting-edge technologies reflected the Pentagon's strategic priorities in an increasingly complex and contested global security environment.   Final Thoughts Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III's commencement address to the United States Naval Academy Class of 2024 was a powerful reminder of the critical role the Navy and Marine Corps play in global security. By emphasizing deterrence, alliances, advanced capabilities, and leadership, Austin's speech set a clear direction for the future officers, inspiring them to uphold the values and responsibilities that come with their new roles. As the graduates embark on their military careers, they carry with them the lessons and values imparted during their time at the Academy. The United States and its allies will depend on their leadership and commitment to maintaining global peace and security in the years to come.   Sources: THX News & US Department of Defense.

To the Vietnam War veterans of Yates County - welcome home

By Jonathan Monfiletto

To any veteran of the Vietnam War reading this article, I simply say, “Welcome home.” Thank you for your service and your sacrifice – a service that was not properly acknowledged when it first happened and a sacrifice that continues to this day.

As a veteran of the U.S. Army National Guard, I am still amazed and humbled by the reception and response I received whenever I was travelling in uniform and particularly when I returned home from my only deployment. I served neither in a combat role nor even in a combat support role; my role on the deployment amounted to a nine-to-five, Monday-to-Friday desk job during what constituted a nine-month working vacation. Still, my comrades and I were welcomed as heroes at the airport.

I know that is essentially the opposite of the welcome – if you could call it that – that many Vietnam War veterans received when they returned home from one of the most harrowing conflicts the U.S. military has ever been involved in. I often wonder if it is the lesson learned from that reception – the verbal and physical assaults upon U.S. service members – that turned around attitudes toward service members and made it possible for my comrades and I to be treated as heroes indeed.

That is my introduction to this article about Yates County’s role in the Vietnam War, one with a bit of a tangent. It turns out the collections of the Yates County History Center are scant when it comes to a full listing of the people from Yates County who served during this conflict. In fact, this article was inspired by an inquiry from the Yates County Veterans Services Agency that made me realize the dearth of names of local Vietnam War veterans.

Nevertheless, while sparse, our subject file on the Vietnam War does contain some photocopies of newspaper articles related to the accomplishments and achievements of those from Yates County who served in Vietnam. While there are also newspaper articles related to local opinions on the war – both for and against – I will avoid those for the sake of the appreciation and gratitude this article hopes to convey to these special veterans. That being said, here are some stories of Yates County residents who served in the military during the Vietnam War.

In 1967, Specialist 4 Keith Seager, of Penn Yan – son of local author Ralph Seager, a World War II veteran himself – received the Army Commendation Medal for his support of helicopter units of the 1st Cavalry Division in An Khe, South Vietnam. Working as an operations noncommissioned officer with a supply and services battalion, then only a private first class, Seager – 27 years old at the time – instituted a system of procedures to ensure there never was a shortage of critical items.

“On several occasions he traveled to Cam Ranh Bay, Vung Tau, and Ah Khe to secure needed supplies and to accomplish his mission,” the award citation reads. “Although these liaison trips entailed long hours, hard work and a high degree of initiative, Sp4 Seager was consistently successful.”

Seager’s award states his contributions to the support of the forward helicopter units of the 1st Cavalry Division made them successful in their missions. His two-year deployment in Vietnam was to end in January 1968, and then he would transfer to Ford Leonard Wood, Missouri.

---

Also in 1967, an Army Commendation Medal was awarded to 1st Lt. Dorothy Fowler, of Penn Yan, upon the second anniversary of her enlistment. Twenty-three years old at the time, Fowler was serving with the Army Nurse Corps at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and had worked there since returning from Vietnam the previous year.

At the same time, Fowler was also selected to represent the Army Nursing service in “Prelude to Taps,” a major event of the 1967 Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, D.C. The event features the 3rd Infantry and the U.S. Army Band and Chorus depicting the nation’s military heritage and development through historical tableaus, flag salutes, and periodic music.

Fowler was accepted into the Army student nurse program in 1963, completing two years of study at St. Joseph’s Hospital school of nursing in Elmira and commissioning in March 1965. She was assigned to Fort Benning, Georgia after basic orientation at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. She then volunteered for duty in Vietnam and received her orders the day she graduated from the 22-week operating room nurse course at Fort Benning.

Fowler spent most of her year overseas at Nha Trang at the 8th Field Hospital’s 500-bed complex. She called her Vietnam service “a study in improvisation, an opportunity to develop personal responsibility and self confidence, and a tremendous professional nursing experience.”

According to a newspaper article dated 1966, Sgt. Wayne Searles had to call his parents in Dresden before his death notice reached them. He phoned them to tell them they would receive a telegram saying he had been killed in action. “Don’t you believe it. I am all right,” Searles, then 28 years old, reportedly told his mother.

It was Searles’ commanding officer who placed the call and then turned the phone over to the sergeant. He also told his parents he would write a letter when he could. Mrs. Searles said her son had written almost weekly since had been in the service, but when she had not received a letter for about four weeks she knew something might be wrong.

Marine Corps officials in Syracuse told the newspaper the erroneous telegram would undoubtedly be intercepted and not delivered. Searles enlisted in the Marine Corps immediately upon his graduation from Dundee High School and had served for 11 years by that point. A member of the championship pistol team of the Marine Corps, Searles had been on duty in Vietnam since November 1965.

The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle of September 30, 1966 recounted a frightening brush with danger experienced by Gordon Cornell, a then 32-year-old native of Penn Yan. The Navy lieutenant commander and his radar intercept officer, a lieutenant junior grade, were piloting their F-4 Phantom in North Vietnam. Barreling against the Yen Xa railroad and highway bridge about 10 miles south of Ninh Binh, the jet was in a dive when the Cornell’s buddy signaled the release of the bombs strapped beneath the jet’s wings.

Suddenly, “everything seemed to explode,” Cornell told the newspaper, and he looked in the rearview mirror to check on his buddy. Only then did he notice the brilliant sun in his eyes and realize he was looking through only half of his sun visor – flak had ripped through both cockpits, tearing off the sun visor and part of Cornell’s helmet and showering the inside of the jet with glass and smoke.

The task at hand immediately turned to flying the jet out of North Vietnam: “I was going to get that bird out over the water if I had to drag it all the way home,” Cornell said. Indeed, the Phantom made it to the deck of an aircraft carrier in the Gulf of Tonkin without further incident, and Cornell escaped with only minor cuts on his arm.

Graduating from Penn Yan Academy in 1951 and from Bennington College in Vermont in 1953, Cornell entered the Navy as a career man. He trained at Pensacola, Florida and took his jet training at Corpus Christi, Texas. He had been in Vietnam aboard the aircraft carrier Constellation since the spring of 1965.

Another Navy sailor and Penn Yan native, Lt. Cmdr. David Lewis, was awarded the Navy Cross – second in prestige only to the Medal of Honor – for heroism in combat for ordering sandbags placed around his patient and then successfully removing an armed grenade projectile from the thigh of a wounded Marine. Stationed at the Naval Hospital at Portsmouth, Virginia when he received the award, Lewis performed the action in September 1969 while serving as a surgeon with the 1st Medical Battalion, 1st Marine Division in Vietnam.

“… a Marine was admitted to the battalion’s emergency receiving area with a serious wound in his thigh. Subsequent X-rays revealed that an armed grenade launcher round was imbedded in the tissue adjacent to the bone,” the award citation states. “After directing all personnel not positively necessary to assist him as he operated to immediately leave the area, Lt. Comm. Lewis supervised the careful removal of the wounded man to an operating room and then directed that sandbags be placed around the patient, leaving only room for himself to move while he worked with the casualty. Fully aware that the round could detonate at any moment, but concerned only for the welfare of the wounded man, Lt. Comm. Lewis then skillfully operated on his patient and successfully extracted the projectile.”

Lewis saved the man’s life and averted a potential disaster; he had previously received the Bronze Star for meritorious service. He attended Penn Yan Academy and then, after his family moved from the area, went on to Denison University in Ohio. He received his medical degree from the University of Rochester in 1962.

Bad Trip: Expert says VA studies psychedelics but ignores proven Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy!

Eye on Veterans   This week we’re talking with Dr. Robert Beckman, Executive Director of Treat Now dot org. He’s one of the premiere experts in the treatment of brain wounds with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). Although this technology is FDA approved for things like burns and diabetic foot ulcers, Beckman says the VA ignores proof that it's effective for treating brain wounds, TBI’s, concussions and depression which has fueled the suicide epidemic in America. While ending suicide remains a top priority for VA , DoD, Beckman slams their decision to pump millions of mental health dollars into psychedelic research to merely treat symptoms. He offers several real-world examples of HBOT effectively treating the root cause and thus eliminating symptoms in ways current VA strategies do not. In one powerful segment he shares how over the years the VA has amputated hundreds of thousands of feet, due to diabetic foot ulcers. Beckman claims most of which could have been avoided if HBOT was introduced earlier in their care. He also shares vivid examples; NFL players treating concussions, combat veterans' fighting effects of toxic exposures and many clinics who are currently embracing HBOT therapy for treatment of brain wounds, PTSD and MS. For more on Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy including powerful research data and published studies, see TreatNow.org's website: https://treatnow.org/ Read the latest newsletter "VA Continues to Avoid Treating and Healing Brain Wounds" here: https://treatnow.org/va-continues-to-avoid-treating-and-healing-brain-wounds/ VIDEO: MSG Scott Rossler's HBOT testimony https://youtu.be/N-CkR5shqEM?si=UmUhF_jKxPHjjzkq VIDEO: NFL great Joe Namath shares how HBOT changed his life: https://youtu.be/s7nxU3QadIA To reach CBS Eye on Veterans, Host, Phil Briggs phil@connectingvets.com Follow on X @philbriggsVet @EyeOnVeterans Read the full article
