Naval Academy Preparatory School (NAPS) Midshipman Candidate Taylor Lang (right), gives remarks during a ceremony in Perry Hall on board Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island. The ceremony was held to officially dedicate the central plaza at NAPS in honor of Navy SEAL Lt. Brendan J. Looney, of Owings, Md. Looney, a member of the NAPS class of 2000 and a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy in 2004. Looney was killed in action during combat operations on Sept. 21, 2010 in the Zabul province of Afghanistan when the UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter he was flying in crashed. Located between Ripley and Perry Halls at Naval Station Newport, the plaza is the heart of the NAPS campus. The NAPS battalion holds formations there multiple times each day and every NAPS midshipmen candidate passes through the plaza several hundred times during their 10 months in Newport. Looney’s personal core values: be strong, be accountable, never complain; will provide daily inspiration to the future Navy and Marine Corps leaders who are beginning their careers at NAPS.

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
