A Source of Leadership

www.wm.edu

In 1966, 22-year-old Robert M. Gates arrived in Washington, D.C. to begin his new job at the Central Intelligence Agency. He knew nobody in D.C., everything he owned fit easily in the back seat of his car, and he had no idea that he was to become the first person in CIA history to rise from entry-level employee to Director, a position he held from 1991 until 1993.

Born and raised in Kansas, Gates charted his course of public service early, as an Eagle Scout. He was awarded a scholarship to the College of William & Mary, graduating with a B.A. in history in 1965. He went on to earn a Master’s degree in history from Indiana University and, while working at the CIA, a Ph.D. in Russian and Soviet history from Georgetown University.

Gates spent 27 years as an intelligence officer at the CIA. He was on the National Security Council at the White House for nearly nine years, serving Presidents Nixon, Ford, Carter and Reagan. He served as Deputy Director of Central Intelligence from 1986 until 1989 and as Assistant to the President and Deputy National Security Adviser from 1989 until 1991 for President George H.W. Bush.

In 1994, Gates left D.C., happily convinced that he would never live there again. “But history, and current events, have a way of exacting revenge on those who say ‘never,’” says Gates. In 2006, he was sworn in as the 22nd Secretary of Defense, as the United States waged two wars, in Iraq and Afghanistan.

He became the first Secretary of Defense to serve under Presidents of both parties when President Obama asked him to continue in that role in 2008. The last years of his tenure included U.S. military involvement in Libya, the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, and a

recession that threatened defense spending.Gates has been awarded the National Security

Medal, the Presidential Citizens Medal, has received the National Intelligence Distinguished Service Medal three times, and has three times received the CIA’s highest award, the Distinguished Intelligence Medal. On June 30, 2011—Secretary Gates’ last day in office—President Obama awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America’s highest civilian honor.

Before being named Secretary of Defense, Gates was the 22nd President of Texas A&M University from 2002 to 2006 and served as Interim Dean of the George Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M from 1999 to 2001.

Gates has served on the boards of the American Council on Education, the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges, and the National Executive Board of the Boy Scouts of America. He has also been President of the National Eagle Scout Association.

In February, Dr. Gates will begin his newest role, as the next Chancellor of the College of William & Mary.

Dr. Gates and his wife, Becky, met on a blind date, and he proposed three months later. They have been married for 45 years and have two grown children. Dr. and Mrs. Gates are happy to, once again, make their home in Washington. (Washington state.)

Taylor Reveley became the 27th president of the College of William & Mary in September 2008. Previously, he had served as dean of William & Mary Law School since August 1998. He is the John Stewart Bryan Professor of Jurisprudence.

Reveley received his A.B. from Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs in 1965. In 1968, he received his J.D. from the University of Virginia School of Law. During the United States Supreme Court’s 1969 term, he clerked for Justice William J. Brennan, Jr.

Reveley has extensively studied and written about the constitutional division of the war powers between the President and

Congress. He is the author of War Powers of the President and Congress: Who Holds the Arrows and Olive Branch? (1981).

Before joining William & Mary, Reveley practiced law at Hunton & Williams, where he was the managing partner for nine years.

Reveley has served on numerous boards, including Princeton University (as a trustee emeritus), Union Theological Seminary, St. Christopher’s School, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the Virginia Historical Society, the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities, the Richmond Symphony, and the Presbyterian Church (USA) Foundation.

Reveley and his wife, Helen, have four children: Taylor, Everett, Nelson and Helen Lanier, and daughters-in-law, Margaret Louise (married to Taylor) and Jessica (married to Nelson).

Department of DefenseThe mission of the Department of Defense (DOD) is to provide the military forces needed

to deter war and to protect the security of our country.

The Army, Navy, and Marine Corps were established in 1775, in concurrence with the American Revolution. The War Department was established in 1789 and was the precursor to what is now the Department of Defense.

One year later, in 1790, the Coast Guard was established, followed by the founding of the Department of the Navy in 1798.

The decision to unify the different services under one Department led to the creation of the National Military Establishment in 1947. This Establishment would replace the War Department, which converted to the

Department of the Army. That same year, the U.S. Air Force was established,

followed by the founding of the Department of the Air Force.

Finally, the three military branches, Army, Navy, and Air Force, were placed under

the direct control of the new Secretary of Defense, confirmed

by the Senate.In 1949, an amendment to the National

Security Act further consolidated the national defense structure by withdrawing cabinet-level status from the three Service secretaries. The National Military Establishment was then renamed the Department of Defense.

“As the former president of Texas A&M University, Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates holds a solemn distinction among top federal officials: He is the only man in America to have signed the diplomas of young college graduates, then signed orders sending them off to combat, and then signed letters to their families saying they weren’t coming home. Consequently, he considers himself responsible for the lives of U.S. troops ‘as though they were my own sons and daughters.’”

The Service Flag

The Service flag is an official banner authorized by the Department of Defense for display by families that have members serving in the Armed Forces during any period in which the United States is engaged in war or hostilities.

The history of the Service flag is as patriotic and touching as the symbolism each star represents to the families that display it.

Also called the Blue Star flag, the Service flag was designed and patented by World War I Army Captain Robert L. Queissner of the 5th Ohio Infantry; he had two sons serving on the front line. The flag quick ly became the unofficial symbol of a child in service.

In 1918, President Wilson approved a suggestion made by the Women’s Committee of the Council of National Defenses that mothers who had lost a child in the war wear a gold gilt star on the traditional black mourning arm band. This led to the tradition of covering the blue star with a gold star on the Service flag to indicate that the service member has died.

During WWII, the practice of displaying the Service flag became much more widespread. Most flags were hand-made by mothers across the nation. One of the most famous flags was that of the five Sullivan brothers, who all perished in the attack on the USS Juneau in 1942.

Each blue star on the flag represents a service member in active duty. A gold star is displayed if a service member is killed in action

or dies in service. If several stars are displayed by one family, the gold star takes the honor of being placed at the top. The gold star should be slightly smaller than the blue star, to create a blue border surrounding the gold star.

The Department of Defense specifies that family members authorized to display the flag include the wife, husband, mother, father, stepmother or father, parent through adoption, foster parents, children, stepchildren,

children through adoption, brothers, sisters and half-brothers or sisters of a member of the Armed Forces of the United States. The flag should be displayed in a window of the residence of persons authorized.

The Service flag may also be displayed by an organization to honor the members of that organization who are serving.

The Service flag is an indoor flag and should be flown facing out from the front window of the home or organization.

If the U.S. flag is also displayed with the Service flag, the U.S. flag should be of equal or greater proportions and should take the place of honor above the Service flag.

Virginia War MemorialTo Honor our Veterans, Preserve our History, Educate our Youth, and Inspire Patriotism in All.

Earlier today, Dr. Gates visited with Richmond’s Blue Star Families ( families with family members currently serving in Iraq or Afghanistan) at the Virginia War Memorial. Overlooking the historic Richmond business district and James River, the War Memorial was created by the Virginia General Assembly to honor Virginia’s war dead.

Shrine of Memory

Walk inside the Virginia War Memorial, and you enter hallowed ground. Engraved on its stone and glass walls, the Shrine of Memory originally had the names of Virginians who died as a result of hostile action in World War II and Korea. An addition was dedicated in 1981 to honor those killed in the Vietnam War, and in 1996 the names of those killed

in the Persian Gulf were added. More than 11,630 names are arranged first by counties and cities and then alphabetically. Plans are underway to honor Virginians killed in action in the War on Terror; over 100 Virginians have been killed at the hands of the enemy thus far in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Statue of Memory

At the southern end of the Shrine is the statue of Memory. Designed by Leo Friedlander and sculpted by Joseph Campo and William Kapp, this majestic monument, which is carved from 100,000 pounds of white marble and stands 23 feet tall, reflects both the great sorrow and pride felt by Virginians for their fallen brothers and sisters.

Torch of Memory

At the base of Memory is the Torch of Liberty, an eternal flame representing patriotism that is everlasting. Congressional Medal of Honor recipients from Virginia, led by General Alexander Vandergrift, U.S. Army, and the widows and mothers of deceased Congressional Medal of Honor recipients from Virginia lit its torch in February 1956.

Expansion

For 54 years, the Virginia War Memorial consisted of the Shrine of Memory, the Hall of Honor Auditorium, and a modest visitor’s center. In September 2010, after two years of construction, the Memorial undertook a major expansion with the addition of the Paul and Phyllis Galanti Education Center and the E. Bruce Heilman Amphitheater.

The Galanti Education Center added a new dimension to the Memorial and its mission. Included in its 18,000 square feet are military-related exhibits; theaters showing the Memorial-produced film, “Into Battle” and video series, “Virginians at War;” a research library, and meeting facilities. The addition of the Heilman Amphitheater provides a venue for outdoor events.

Today, over 42,000 visitors from across the Commonwealth, the country, and the world tour and attend events each year at the Virginia War Memorial.

The Shrine of Memory and grounds are open to the public 365 days a year, from 6 a.m. to 12 midnight daily. The Galanti Education Center is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays, 12 noon to 4 p.m. Admission to the Memorial, and its events and parking, are free of charge.

Additional information is available at www.vawarmemorial.org.

In December, Melanie Payne, President of the Blue Star Families of Richmond, helped decorate the Blue Star Family Tree in the lobby of the Virginia War Memorial. The Blue Star Families of Richmond is a chapter of the Blue Star Mothers of America, Inc. Their mission is to offer support to families of the military, especially during the difficult time of deployment. There are currently over 115 families in the Richmond organization.
