 | 77k | Thomas Woodrow Wilson — born on 28 December 1856 at Staunton, Va.— graduated from Princeton University in 1879 before attending University of Virginia Law School. He subsequently earned a doctorate at Johns Hopkins and then taught at Bryn Mawr and Wesleyan before accepting a teaching post at Princeton, his alma mater. He became president of Princeton in 1902 and brought the university to national prominence. In 1910, Wilson was elected governor of New Jersey and served a two-year term in which he effected several key progressive reforms. After becoming the Democratic Party's presidential candidate in the 1912 elections, Wilson defeated a badly split Republican Party and was inaugurated president on 4 March 1913. Wilson's first term in the White House was marked by liberal reforms which were popularized under the label, the "New Freedom." Upon the outbreak of World War I in Europe, Wilson tried to keep the United States neutral. While patiently insisting on American rights as a neutral, he successfully guided the country through the Lusitania crisis in the spring of 1915. While abstaining from intervention in Europe's affairs for a time, the United States, under Wilson's leadership, moved decisively in Latin America and the Caribbean when it saw American rights threatened. American naval or military units landed in Mexico, Santo Domingo, Haiti, and Nicaragua to restore order and to establish benevolent American protection for its own nationals as well as for the nationals of the troubled countries. Eventually, pressures to enter the war—despite the 1916 campaign slogan "He kept us out of war"— proved too great. In April 1917, the United States joined the Allied and Associated Powers in the war against the Central Powers. Exercising his powers as Commander in Chief, Wilson was well aware of the Navy's role in the "war to end wars" and "to make the world safe for democracy." In a speech to the officers of the Atlantic Fleet on 11 August 1917, the President said: "... the officers of this Navy . . . have the distinction of saying how this war is going to be won." With the Navy guarding the sea lanes to Europe, the United States eventually sent substantial numbers of troops "over there," to join the battle on the Western Front. On 11 November 1918, the armistice was signed, ending World War I. Between 1914 and 1917, Wilson had based his appeals for peace upon the formula, "peace without victory." After the United States entered the conflict, the President continued to strive for the ideal of a peace wherein there would be no victor—none vanquished. Instead, he urged the recognition of the rights of smaller nations and freedom of the seas. His "Fourteen Points" attempted to apply these broad ideals to specific problem areas of the peaceful postwar settlement. Incorporating these fourteen points of international ethics into a comprehensive plan, Wilson broke precedent by leading the American delegation to the Peace Conference at Paris. Once there, however, he found to his dismay that European leaders were not as ready as he to make high ideals the foundation of a postwar settlement that would be fair and just for all. As a result, negotiations were weakened by many compromises with Wilson's ideals, and the treaty, with its provision for a League of Nations, was rejected by the Republican-controlled Senate. Taking his fight to the people, Wilson embarked upon a strenuous speaking tour, valiantly fighting to convince the American people that only collective security could keep the United States out of future wars. In September 1919, worn out by the struggle for his League of Nations, Wilson broke, physically, and remained ill throughout the remainder of his second term. Never fully recovered, he lived quietly in Washington after Warren G. Harding won the 1920 elections and brought "normalcy" to the United States; Wilson died in Washington on 3 February 1924. | Photo from the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division Washington, D.C. 20540 & submitted by Bill Gonyo. | |

 | 35k | With the sail of the Woodrow Wilson (SSBN-624) in the background, the nation's submarine force marked a major milestone in submarine history at Naval Submarine Base Bangor, Wash., with the recent return of Florida (SSBN-728). The ship's Gold crew returned home from a successful underway 9 May 2001, marking the 3,500th strategic deterrent patrol by a U.S. Navy fleet ballistic missile submarine. Since George Washington (SSBN-598), the first SSBN, left on patrol in 1960, fleet ballistic missile submarines have been patrolling the world's oceans providing America with the best deterrent defense in the world. The 3,500th patrol was celebrated as part of the grand opening of Bangor's Deterrent Park on 25 May with guest speaker, Rear Adm. John Padgett, commander, Submarine Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet. "For more than 40 years, our strategic submarines have demonstrated sustained professionalism and a remarkable record of mission accomplishment," said Padgett. "Our strategic submarines remain the cornerstone to our national defense, and through 3,500 patrols, have earned the respect, confidence and support of American's citizens." Padgett emphasized the importance of future patrols as well as past. "As we speak here at the 3,500th patrol, others are already on the 3,501st and 3,502nd." "Some will question why we still make deterrent patrols today," said Padgett. "The reality is, it is more important today than ever." | USN photo by JO3 Kodi Nace, courtesy of csp.navy.mil. | |
