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

+3 "Don't Tread on Me" is a phrase that conveys a message of independence, defiance, and personal freedom: Meaning The phrase is a warning that anyone who tries to step on or trample on an individual or nation will face consequences. It's a message that people have the right to self-determination and shouldn't be subjected to unjust authority. Origin The phrase originated on the Gadsden flag, which was first flown in 1775 during the American Revolution. The flag featured a rattlesnake coiled above the phrase on a yellow background. The rattlesnake was chosen to symbolize a defensive stance and readiness to strike. Symbolism The Gadsden flag is often associated with libertarian or conservative ideology. It's also used to symbolize individualism, liberty, small government, and distrust of authorities. Military use The phrase "Don't Tread on Me" is also the motto of the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard), the oldest infantry regiment in the US Army. It's also used in the First Navy Jack of the United States Navy.

The US Military's mission is to defend and win wars. But recruiting has become increasingly complex, hindering our ability to achieve that goal. It's time for politicians to step aside and let the Military do what it does best- focus on teamwork, commitment to mission, and duty, honor, and country. By recruiting warriors with the highest standards and utilizing retiree/veteran assistance, we can promote sacrifice, heroism, and gallantry. Let's stop treating our Military as a social experiment and instead promote total victory for America. #MilitaryRecruiting #Teamwork #DutyHonorCountry

I recently ran across Cunliffe's Soldiers & Civilians. It has a pretty good discussion about the conflicts of between an amateur and professional approach to national defense. It is rare to see both arguments considered Captain Alden Partridge's theories presented. I think he misses the mark as I believe what an "amateur" represents may have been incorrectly applied in many cases. For example, is a part-time National Guard Soldier an amateur or a professional? If they are considered amateurs, why do Guard units often outperform Active Duty units. If these part-time National Guard are considered professionals, how are graduates of Norwich University (under the design of Captain Alden Partridge) not also considered professional? I think the amateur vs. professional argument is largely oversimplified and often misapplied. https://amzn.to/3RM9MWD #ad Norwich University #USMA #Militia #Army

"A regiment is more than a mere organization; it is in truth a family, with its ancestors and descendants, its pride and its possessions, and through all its vicissitudes a strong sense of community and continuity."-Lord Wavell Two interesting pieces in my feed this morning that are related- one, from the Ottawa Citizen, arguing that Canadian Army ceremonies, such as the sentry programme at the National War Memorial and the Changing of the Guard on Parliament Hill, serve as a very effective recruitment tool for the profession of arms in this country, and ought to be strongly supported. The other, from the Harvard Business Review, discussing the utility of workplace rituals in building and maintaining strong functional organizational teams. Nobody understands the value of tradition and ritual better than an infantry rifleman. From taking the Loyal Oath upon attestation, to various Mess exercise both solemn and hilarious, to Regimental parades, to the variations in titles and ranks and drill.....these are the things that inspire the soldiers of the Loamshire Fusiliers to be demonstrably superior to the lesser beings of the Natulanteland Rifles. With the resulting positive effects on the battlefield. In a pre-election rush to spend billions on Canada's armed forces, those at the very head of our military would be wise to keep in mind the value of these seemingly bizarre, quaint, confusing, and endearing symbols, rituals, beliefs, and behaviours- they go to the very heart of the Regimental system, and are the foundation of the profession of arms.

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.
