Colonel Edwin Hillandale, An Air Force Officer

The legacy leader I have chosen to write about is Brigadier General (BG) Richard T. Ellis (Deceased). BG Ellis was a true influential leader in the United States (U.S.) Army and intelligence community. This paper will discuss how BG Ellis showed leadership attributes and competencies covered in Army Doctrine Publication (ADP) 6-22 and Army Doctrine Reference Publication (ADRP) 6-22. It will also discuss how he influenced leaders and changes in the intelligence community. Finally it will cover how his actions influenced me in my military career.

This would have been my sixth trip to the Philippines. However, this trip was different. Our detachment never had a trained Intelligence Sergeant, so our senior Communications Sergeant took it upon himself to prepare a cultural study and information brief for the detachment. I was so impressed; he broke down the demographics, the religious conflicts, and addressed political and economic considerations. I learned more in that brief than I had from the five previous exercises in the Philippines.

George Smith Patton Jr. was born November 11, 1885 in San Gabriel, California. He was born to George Smith Patton Sr. and his wife Ruth Wilson and had a younger sister, Anne. When Patton was child, he had difficulty learning to read and write, though he eventually overcame this and during his adult life he was known to be and great reader. Up until he was eleven years of age, he was home tutored, but then he was enrolled in Stephen Clark’s School for Boys, a private school in Pasadena, California, for six years.

Their family was very wealthy because of his mother’s father; he was a successful businessman (Ford 1734). Patton Jr. went to private school when he was twelve years old.

There, he met Beatrice Banning Ayer, daughter of a successful industrialist, who later became his wife.

He finished fifth in Stockholms Summer Olympics in 1912. George Patton Jr. graduated from West Point in June 1909 (Ford 1735).

The good Colonel was very fond of touting his position as a leader and even that he had “taught leadership courses in D.C.”, but despite this he did not come across as knowing the 10 communication secrets in the article. While I wouldn’t call him forked tongued he certainly liked to justify his leadership by

General George Patton was one of the best United States Generals to go down in history. He participated in many wars to help the United States get to where we are today. General George Patton always wanted to be a hero and now is. General George Patton, an American Army Officer who advanced too general, commanded the U.S. Seventy Army during World War II and directed the Allied invasion of Normandy.

General Douglas MacArthur is the prime example of what a lot of Americans strived to be. He was a respected war hero, a “brilliant” leader and iron fisted rebel against the big government. MacArthur knew that after the end of World War II and his placement in Japan he controlled a lot of political and man power. This began to fester when he pushed the invasion of Yalu. He continually denied orders after being warned by President Truman that his power did not extend to invading North Korea and that any subsequent invasion could cause direct retaliation from the USSR and China. MacArthur was sure that the Chinese would remain on the side of the U.S. He made a fatal mistake during an announcement about the cureent timeline of the now invaded Korea. The war “would be terminated

The Air Force Memorial is made out of 270 foot stainless steel beams that are curved. They represent the “Bomb Burst” maneuver that is in the U.S air force routine. This memorial was made to represent the men and women in the air force and to honor their sacrifices. The Air Force memorial’s first location was moved because it looked over the Marine Corps Memorial. This was a problem because several marine groups did not want any structure in the way of their memorial. This caused the memorial to move to the site that it is in now, the east-end of Columbia Pike. War Memorial was dedicated on July 27, 1995 to remember the fallen soldiers in the war. The memorial remembers the 5.8 million soldiers that participated in the war. One of the structures

Operation Cobra was the name given to the American’s attempt to break out of the Normandy bridgehead established after D-Day in June 1944 (WWII). Operation Cobra supported British, Polish and Canadian assaults which was also true in operations codenamed Atlantic, Spring, Totalise, Goodwood and Tractable. After D-Day, the Germans moved a great deal of equipment and men to Normandy. As a result, breaking out of the Normandy beachhead proved to be far more difficult than the actual landings at D-Day. By mid-June the Germans had reinforced many of their positions in Normandy and any advance inland was going to be difficult for the Allies.

Thank you for attending today’s ceremony and for your unwavering support each one of you has given me over the past 3 plus years.

In Korean culture, a hero is the best contender in leading the team, Korea, to victory, such that the citizens are willing to resign some of their liberties to provide a better chance at winning for the common welfare. This is demonstrated in Yi Munyol’s Our Twisted Hero through Han’s description of Om Sokdae and his blind trust from the teacher in the eyes of the class after Han’s failed attempt at driving a wedge between Sokdae and the teacher: “With Sokdae overseeing our planting project, we recorded the best results in the school.” (Munyol 28). This information highlights an important characteristic about the class and Korean culture on a higher level. Om Sokdae’s success as a class monitor combined with his charismatic personality gives

You may have heard of writer, Viet Thanh Nguyen from his Pulitzer (and other prizes/awards) winning debut novel The Sympathizer. And while the synopsis of The Sympathizer didn't really appeal to me, I was looking forward to The Refugees as my introduction to his writing.
