public and the army. or this is a very unique gallery and it is a standalone gallery separate from our fighting for the nation galleries, which gives insight on the wars and the battles and the campaigns soldiers have fought since the revolutionary war up in afghanistan the military tactics the weapons the type of uniforms they were punctuated with individual soldier stories that not only talk about what the soldiers went through but also more context about the battles and or wars that they fall in kind of complementing that and strut, you know, the theme we stress here at the museum is the army values. these are seven values that soldiers today live by or live up to from loyalty duty respect selfish service honor integrity personal courage, you'll find that in the stories that you you read in the museum where the artifacts you interact with so early on it was always important to have a national museum the focus on the history of the army, right all the branches major branches have their own national muse

it's the army of the shenandoah did this? and so those early newspaper accounts, they suggest that there was no element. of the army of the shenandoah that did anything. to put up a fight that morning or slow early morning assault. so for example six days after the battle. the new york tribune reported the following dislodge from its works the army fell back and disorder and all efforts to rally it or restore order failed. well, you know if you know anything about cedar creek this isn't exactly how things unfolded and this got the veterans of the six corps greatly greatly aggravated. they were concerned because again, this is their legacy. this is their their reputation. the problem is that when you have all these newspaper accounts basically telling the same story. without any degree of differentiation these early newspaper accounts these become source material. for early historians who are writing histories of the civil war so for instance dr. james moore, he was a retired surgeon from the united states army. he published i

they would meet to discuss the terms of the surrender of the army. effectively bringing about the ending of the war. that's certainly a crucial story, nationally significant and no doubt the reason this has been designated a national historic site. however, there are plenty of untold stories about ap mad dix. of course, for students of history, we struggle with that idea. if that were true, the 150 years that have followed the civil war don't make a lot of sense. in fact, during the centennial, the 100th anniversary of the centennial of the ending of the civil war in 1965, a tremendous celebration took place here marking the occasion, meanwhile the schools in this appomattox county are not integrated, in fact, it's still five years away from integration. why is it the place where our nation reunited? part of the story starts with the field behind me. something that people don't realize about appomattox is there were two battles fought here. the decision to surrender was not arbitrary, it was a reality of the the armies that surrounded him. on the mor

so it's the women's army corps. 47 of them served there. four of them were in the regular army. we have a couple of one offs in the air corps. in the air force. and the waves, the coast guard's were undefined. >> california was the highest number in terms of state of residents. and you can clearly see this in the infographic. and this is readily a billable to anybody who asks for these statistical data. thank you. thank you for putting it up. >> you mentioned that the chinese american women's are predominantly in the woman's air corps. -- >> no. women's army corps. excuse me. >> only two women served in the

i had to explain, well, the army air force and army airport reported the army, and they wore the same uniform. it wasn't until 1947 that the air force became a separate organization, that they designed their own uniforms. and it just sort of grew from there. >> you raise a lot of important points, i think a lot of our viewers will find your world war ii research on your own, will come across the army of world war ii. they invented the achronims that are so abundant in our society today. was there ever a question beyond that proved challenging, to talk about what resources you may have used to discover these things? >> talk about the foot locker! >> that's what i was going to say! she said, okay, here is a picture of a foot locker. what can you tell me about it? i said, it's all a drab. it's got the guy's name, it's got his serial number, and i could trace back and say, okay, based upon this serial number, he went into the army at this general location. i think there was a path or two on it. i looked those up and said, okay, here is what's the patch. was it was such and such unit. it w

and descend taylor's army to conquer northern mexico. this is taylor's army. when mexico still refused to concede after he did this. poke opened the second front down here at veracruz he was the largest us amphibious assault until world war ii. more than 80 ships more than 10,000 troops. veracruz surrendered following a siege scott embarked on his epic march then to mexico city in the halls of montezuma. 260 miles away interestingly the duke of wellington, who is the victor at waterloo? kept a wall map of the campaign and his study and followed scott's campaign. he thought scott was just the greatest general of his time, which he was. poke wanted to be president of the whole country not a partisan president. produce a democrat to the core he worked hard to prevent scott and taylor who were both whigs from reaping any political profit from the war. there is reason for this george washington andrew jackson and william henry harrison had all been generals who became president. but in the process pope made enemies of both his generals. he congratulated himself on

two other elements of the army were part of the plan, but they did not make it into the operation. the bad weather that occurred stopped both of those deployments, meaning that everything would depend on the main body's effort under washington and the army's password for the evening was victory or death. washington's plan included sending a small detachment of troops over the delaware first to secure the army's route of march. james monroe was with this contingent. in his autobiography, which he wrote in the third person late in life and actually did not complete before his death, monroe described the missional command of the vanguard of 50 men was given to captain washington. lieutenant monroe gave his service under him. on the 25th of december, 1776, they passed the delaware in front of the army in the dusk of the evening at macon i can's ferry ten miles above trenton and hastened to a point 1 1/2 miles from it, above which the road enter seconded which led from trenton to princeton for obedience of orders cutting off all communication from them in the country to trenton. mr. mon

army officers and particular complained that he really did not understand the armies needs and requirements. when general said that he was uninformed and he remained so. not exactly a compliment. another big problem for eisenhower was -- for wilson, was that his boss -- eisenhower you far more about the pentagon than he did. it was almost a no win situation. so here is where humphrey wilson and eisenhower come together in a struggle that would last for several years. all of wilson's problems were compounded by humphrey's budgets cuts. because in the early 19 fifties, 70% federal spending was for defense. if you are going to cut the budget, it's going to have to be defense spending. another problem was that eisenhower was just not inclined to believe pentagon arguments to keep its budgets out. as a career army guy he well knew that money was being wasted at the pentagon. he understood how parochial the army, navy and air force were. even though he had long encouraged them to think more in terms of national interests. would bothered him specially was redundancy. the fact that the services wer

earlier in the week its fighters attacked and captured an army outpost along the river border. the military has stepped up air attacks on korean held territory injuring civilians and sending many fleeing for safety. in the north kitchen rebels have also increased their attacks on the army and like the korean they have also face an increase in air assault. even of all the estimated $75000.00 rebels band together they'd still be facing a $350000.00 strong army despite being outnumbered it's thought that if the pace of urban unrest continues and the rebels step up their attacks it could stretch the army something that the newly formed unity government of ousted politicians and ethnic leaders hopes to do by creating a federal army got hodler al-jazeera. a prominent antigovernment protests leader in thailand has been sent to hospital following a 46 day hunger strike. she was known to supporters as penguin and has been held in pretrial detention on charges of insulting the monarchy the 22 year old lost more than 12 kilograms and been played a key role in last year's new youth led mov

so buckner simon buckner who commands the tenth armies us army his father as a famous confederate general as i mentioned. he's really been brought in as a sort of compromised candidate. really i mean, holland smith the the man at the center of the smith vs. smith controversy had during the campaign on saipan sacked his one of his subordinates an army general called ralph smith and this of course infuriated the us army chief of staff and the senior people in the us army because they felt it was, you know as an insult really and this almost certainly leads to the exclusion of holland smith. maybe he wouldn't have been chosen anyway, but it certainly led to his exclusion from being considered as the army commander and they bring him butner instead. the problem with buckner is that he doesn't have any experience. he doesn't actually commanded in the field. in fact, he hasn't even been in a battle up to this point either the first world war the second world war so quite a curious choice, but whatnot was very good at which is jermaine to the question is getting on very well with people who are

i mean, i mean i thought there was only the army, you know, the army now, i mean, i never saw an army national guardsman anywhere in new york city yet. there was a big continues the army national guardsmen in new york city itself, really big but i never knew anything about that so you had to have and then you know, you know one of the best kept secrets. yeah, and so but now it's big now, you know, you know, you know about the army national guard, but nobody knew about and so small town america knew about it because so-so was a fireman but he's also was a you know with the army national guard at army reserves, but that small town america. i'm talking about new york city, you know, new jersey philadelphia, nobody knew anything about that. i mean that was sort of like now the yard the act of judy can't even do its job without the army national guard. they need him to supplement it. so what happened was in the 70s? total force came in that was the package and they said okay well. the army national guard international guard back then had all the old world world war ii korean war stuff and

they passed the delaware in front of the army in the dusk of the evening. so understand, he was not in the boat with washington. he was already on the other side of the river. the next morning the battle was joined and again, i read from monroe's auto biography. captain washington then moved forward with the vanguard in front attack the enemy's pickett shot down the commanding officer and drove it before him. the drums were beat to arms and two cannon were placed in the main street to bear on the head of our column as it entered. captain washington rushed forward attacked and took possession of them. he received a severe wound and was taken from the field. the command then devolved upon lieutenant monroe who attacked in like manner at the head of the court and was shot down by a musket ball, which passed through his breast and shoulder. he was also carried from the field. monroe and william washington were brought to a makeshift hospital there dr. john reicher who monroe had met just hours before repaired an artery in his shoulder damaged by the musketball.
