    Theodore Roosevelt Jr. (October 27, 1858 - January 6, 1919) was an American politician, statesman, soldier, conservationist, naturalist, historian, and writer who served as the 26th president of the United States from 1901 to 1909. He previously served as the 25th vice president under President William McKinley from March to September 1901 and as the 33rd governor of New York from 1899 to 1900. Assuming the presidency after McKinley's assassination, Roosevelt emerged as a leader of the Republican Party and became a driving force for anti-trust and Progressive policies. When running as the third-party Progressive (Bull Moose) candidate for president of the United States in 1912, Theodore Roosevelt recorded a number of campaign speeches made in August of 1912, including "The 'Abyssinian Treatment' Administered to Standard Oil" and "Why the Trusts and Bosses Oppose the Progressive Party," a criticism of 1912 presidential election opponent, Woodrow Wilson, and a greeting to the American Boy's Progressive League on March 4, 1913.

    The National Assembly - Crafting...

    The formation of the National Assembly marked a turning point in history, reshaping governance and laying the foundation for constitutional rule. It emerged from the political turmoil of a monarchy struggling with financial crises, social unrest, and an outdated feudal system. The roots of the National Assembly can be traced back to the Estates-General, a centuries-old advisory body that had long been dormant. When King Louis XVI convened the Estates-General in 1789 to address France’s dire economic situation, he unintentionally set the stage for a political transformation that would redefine the nation. 
The Estates-General was composed of three estates: the clergy, the nobility, and the commoners, known as the Third Estate. Each estate traditionally held equal voting power despite vast disparities in population and influence. The Third Estate, which represented the majority of the French people, found itself consistently outvoted by the privileged classes. Frustration over this imbalance, coupled with widespread demands for political reform, led the Third Estate to take a decisive stand. Rejecting the old voting structure, its representatives declared themselves the true voice of the nation and proclaimed the formation of the National Assembly on June 17, 1789. This act was not merely a procedural shift but a bold assertion of sovereignty, challenging the very legitimacy of absolute monarchy. 
The declaration of the National Assembly was met with immediate resistance from the monarchy and conservative factions. King Louis XVI initially dismissed the move, attempting to maintain control through traditional authority. However, support for the Assembly grew rapidly, fueled by Enlightenment ideals advocating for representative government and individual rights.

    Think for Your Victim is a concept of different skill sets that emphasizes the act of 
putting oneself in someone else's shoes. Ultimately, these skills empower us to build on 
mutual respect, communication, and emotional awareness, enhancing our overall 
well-being and contributing to a more compassionate and connected society. 
Thinking for others before reacting can help you maintain control and avoid 
unnecessary conflict. Take a moment to pause and consider the feelings and 
perspectives of those around you. Ask yourself how your words or actions might affect 
them and the situation at hand. Practice empathy by putting yourself in their shoes, 
which can lead to a clearer understanding of their motivations and challenges. This 
mindfulness allows you to respond thoughtfully rather than reacting impulsively, 
reducing the chances of overreacting and potentially embarrassing yourself. By 
fostering communication and being considerate, you can create a more positive 
atmosphere, making it easier to navigate conflicts and relationships.

The Vietnam War dominated my generation and affected so many lives in so many different ways. Some of us were drafted. Some enlisted. Some became war heroes, intentional or not, but most of us were just trying to survive. Army, Marines, Air Force, Navy, or Coast Guard, American, Australian, and New Zealanders, Vietnam was all about luck, good or bad. And there were hundreds of different wars depending on where you were, the year you were there, your service, branch, unit, rank, job, and race. 
Whether we were nurses, helicopter pilots, infantryman, Rangers, clerk typists, combat medics, engineers, MPs, Platoon Leaders, sailors on riverine patrols up the rivers, artillerymen, or cooks, from 1956 to 1976 from the Delta to the DMZ, these stories tell who we were, the jobs we did, our memories of that time and place, how it changed us, and what we did after we came home. Hopefully, these books will help illuminate that narrative.
