Hoe served with the 3d Battalion, 21st Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade, 25th Infantry Division, Fort Lewis, Washington. “Each year on Memorial Day, I pause to remember the young men and women whose lives were cut short by saying their names and sharing their stories.” – Allen Hoe Hear Allen talk about his heroic son, how loss has inspired him, and his commitment to healing the wounds of war: https://lnkd.in/gpBUNebh #MemorialDay #America #Veterans #GoldStarFamily #Army #Hawaii

Top tip! Bring along clothes you love and that show off your personal style! The standard advice on what to wear for your headshot does tend to steer people towards a conservative look.

There are two pillars in nation building. One pillar is men and the second pillar is women. When both pillars are strongly placed then the structure of the country is most stable.
In 1918, the U.S. Army Signal Corps sent 223 women to France as telephone operators to help win the Great War. They swore Army oaths, wore uniforms, held rank, and were subject to military justice. By war’s end, they had connected over 26 million calls and were recognized by General John J. Pershing for their service.

Unidentified Soldiers Of The 33rd United States Colored Troops The 33rd was organized on January 31, 1863, or February 8, 1864, as 1st South Carolina Volunteers Colored Infantry. Attached to U. S. Forces, Port Royal Island, South Carolina, 10th Corps, Dept. of the South, to April, 1864. Mustered out January 31, 1866 "No officer in this regiment now doubts that the key to the successful prosecution of this war lies in the unlimited employment of black troops. Their superiority lies simply in the fact that they know the country, while white troops do not, and, moreover, that they have peculiarities of temperament, position, and motive which belong to them alone. Instead of leaving their homes and families to fight they are fighting for their homes and families, and they show the resolution and sagacity which a personal purpose gives. It would have been madness to attempt, with the bravest white troops, what I have successfully accomplished with the black ones. Everything, even to the piloting of the vessels and the selection of the proper points for cannonading, was done by my own soldiers." — Excerpt from February 1, 1863 report by Colonel T. W. Higginson, commander of the First Regiment South Carolina Volunteers (Union) after the January 23 - February 1, 1863 Expedition from Beaufort South Carolina, up the Saint Mary’s River in Georgia and Florida. Some people think these men were forced to go to war. But make no mistake: Many did it because they were brave, wanted to protect their families and country, and hoped to be respected for their actions. #memorialday2024 #blackhistory365 #blackhistoryisamericanhistory Credit: American Black History - Old Photos

I think this is an important paper that anyone who cares about our military and our nation should read. Some of my thoughts: 1. I completely agree with the Culture Shift of Mission Command and "disciplined disobedience." Easy to say - tough to do but we have to embrace it. 2. Agree on all points of technology and the need to operate routinely dispersed, disconnected, and in multi-domain including commercial. 3. The idea of a move towards partial conscription is interesting but I think unworkable. It is not the American Way of War to have a large standing Army and even when we had conscription it was short. Even FDR on the eve of Pearl Harbor would not have been able to get support for the draft and today there is no support. So what do we do? I would have liked to see an embracing of Coalition/Allies. America's super power is that we have friends and our threat does not.

Great interview with Tim Kennedy founder of Sheepdog Response . Key takeaways: - Veteran transition strategy (find your purpose) - Why veterans make great civilian employees (dedicated to the mission/ focused on results) - Veterans have a Continuous Improvement mindset (this is key to organizations who strive for best in class/ best quality/ want to dominate the industry) Side note: If you are struggling to find your purpose, contact me. As an Oxford Leadership coach, I help people define and align their personal and professional purpose, values and vision.
We had the honor of having Austin's FOX 7 in the house. Tim Kennedy talked about transitioning from the military to the civilian sector and how the military training he received has helped him start his businesses. #military #militarytransition #enterpreneur #selfdefense

What is your Royal Navy nickname, where did it come from, and why? All is revealed in this book, The Andrew, Jack & Jenny. https://amzn.to/4cKF0Xn Unlike the civilian nicknames we get labelled with, those our classmates called us at school, the names various work colleagues may apply to us from time to time, or the ones our siblings find amusing, a military nickname has greater significance, it holds a value only fully comprehended by our contemporaries. Arguably, the Royal Navy has the most entrenched tradition among the services for bestowing nicknames, names not only for each sailor but for places, equipment, and actions. This book, The Andrew, Jack & Jenny, focuses on the names given to each skin and essence the moment they became a matelot. Royal Naval nicknames are not chosen by the recipient, they are bestowed, irrevocably, by custom and tradition. Paperback from Amazon, https://amzn.to/4cKF0Xn #navy #royalnavy #military #veteran #sailor #matelot #service #names #nicknames #life

*I dedicate today's post to Marcie Ila Lane, RSSW and her daughter, MCpl Cadet 0livia Vernelli, 3rd Battalion Royal Canadian Regiment (3 RCR) Cadet Corps, in honour of their late husband, father, and hero, Master Corporal Scotty Vernelli, 3 RCR.* Healing is a journey that takes time and effort. You cannot heal instantly or skip any steps. You have to go through the whole process, even if it is painful or difficult. It is continuous and consistent. You cannot pause or interrupt your healing, or else you will lose momentum and progress. You have to keep moving forward, even if you face obstacles or challenges. You cannot derail or divert from your healing, otherwise you will suffer more harm and confusion. You have to stay focused and faithful, even when you doubt or question yourself, but it is beyond worth it. "Grief is not linear, rather relentless, destructive, unforgiving while also empowering, gracious and comforting. Time doesn't heal, it affords us more opportunity to process something we had no control over." - Marci Ila Lane Canadian Armed Forces | Forces armées canadiennes Canadian Army | Armée canadienne Royal Canadian Army Cadets @3__rcr #rcr #3rcr #caf #royalcanadianregiment #cadets #canada #armedforces #servicemen #servicewomen #remember #heroes #everydayisremembranceday #military #soldier #veteran #heal #healing #healingtogether #healingjourney #whatsyourtwenty #whatsyourtwentypodcast #healoutloud #dedication #empowering #itsnecessary #iseeyou #wy20 #connection #humanconnection #healingispossible

On Veterans Day, we honor the brave women and men who have served our nation. This day holds special meaning for us, as we have veterans among our colleagues, and their dedication inspires us daily. We also want to recognize the challenges veterans face when transitioning to civilian life. Nearly 200,000 service members do this every year, and it's a journey that demands our support and understanding. To shed light on this crucial topic, we invite you to watch the Ted Talk below, "How to Successfully Transition from Military to Civilian Life." It offers valuable insights into regaining identity, purpose, and a sense of belonging as a veteran. https://lnkd.in/gWiaCkG #VeteransDay #gratitude #civilianlife
