Descrizione

Washington, D.C., June 29, 1914. Blue paper Seal of the War Department at lower left. Patriotic vignettes of an eagle with wings spread at top center and flags, weapons, military accouterments, and a regiment horn and drum across the bottom. Appointment of Gooding Packard (1890-1965), West Point Class of 1914, as “Additional Second Lieutenant in the Coast Artillery Corps.” Henry Breckinridge (1886-1960) was only 27 when he was appointed Wilson’s Assistant Secretary of War in 1913. When Secretary of War Lindley M. Garrison resigned in 1916 as a result of bitter disagreements with President Wilson over America’s national defense strategies, Breckinridge also resigned his position out of loyalty to Garrison. He later practiced law where his most famous client and friend was Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh. Breckinridge was involved in the futile ransom negotiations with the kidnapper of Col. Lindbergh's son and later, was one of the witnesses at the trial of Bruno Hauptmann.
