So much can be said for strong inspirational leadership. Not only did Roosevelt show America’s strength on the seas but strengthened the bonds that Unite us as Americans. Today America is way off course....excuse the pun.
TR led troops in the Spanish-American War AND won a Nobel Prize for brokering the peace after the Boer Rebellion, so he was connected to all these events!
The American show of strength and the resulting confidence and patriotism of the American people is awesome. Confidence and patriotism are both sadly lacking today. Everywhere we look there is chaos and violence. It has become obvious that we are a weak nation. We need to return to peace through strength. Only when that happens will we become a great nation again. We sure can learn a lot from our history. Hope and pray better days are ahead. Thanks for sharing our important history with us, Tara.
TR was a visionary and his using this to "project power" was genius. Even today, the US is one of the few (maybe only) nations that can project power and the logistics train that it requires. China is working on it but they have never done it, Russia can't, they can barely maintain resupply over land. Still the greatest nation on earth!

Teddy was an interesting President, but this was one of his better ideas. America was becoming a world power!

Thank you, Tara Ross, for sharing these little vignettes of history. I learn something new in each post!
I can't imagine that happening today. 16 battleships plus supporting ships, what a display of power. Thank you Tara.
Love this story of “adventures” and courage!
Great story, Tara.
Thanks.
Another great story. It instills such a patriotic feeling that EVERY American should feel about our Beloved country. THANKS, TARA!
Another awesome lesson for all of us!
A great accomplishment by the Navy.
Amazing story.
