Berthed today at NAUTICUS, the National Maritime Center, the USS Wisconsin (BB-64) was the last authorized of the four Iowa-class battleships, the largest American dreadnoughts ever built.Wisconsin saw action in World War II and the Korean Conflict for which the Big Wisky earned a collective six battle stars. Brought out of mothballs and recommissioned a second time on October 22, 1988, the Wisconsin saw action again during the Persian Gulf War but was decommissioned a third time on September 30, 1991.But this great piece of American history was not destined for a lengthy slumber. Resurrected by the city of Norfolk and USS Wisconsin Foundation, working in lockstep with the Navy, it has become a museum ship and Navy heritage site that continues the legacy of duty, honor, and country that was the calling card of Wisconsin's crew, and to inspire future generations of Americans.

Contained in this volume are sixteen of the most important speeches that Barack Obama delivered in his two terms as 44th president of the United States. These speeches reflect Obama's vision for America, from five years before his first inauguration until his last day in office. The addresses selected in this edition can be seen in five categories: expressions of hope, discourses on economics, instructions on tolerance, insights on conflict, and commentaries on the state of domestic terrorism. The speeches not only codify a historic presidency; they present pivotal changes in the nation's social fabric through the course of Obama's time in office. This collection reaffirms his prowess as an orator and casts a light upon an administration now characterized by feelings of warmth and nostalgia.
