Presidential Guest Speaker
James Webb, Jr.
Former United States Secretary of the Navy and United States Senator
James Henry Webb, Jr. is an American politician and author who served as the United States senator from Virginia from 2007-2013 and as Secretary of the Navy under then President, Ronald Reagan.
Jim Webb graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1968 and was then commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps. He was deployed to Vietnam where his services earned him the Navy Cross for heroism, a Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, and two Purple Hearts. After the military, Webb continued his education at Georgetown University, earning a Juris Doctor degree. He then went on to work on the staff of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs, taught at the Naval Academy, and served as Secretary of the Navy – the first Naval Academy graduate to serve as the civilian head of the Navy.
Webb is also an Emmy Award winning journalist, filmmaker, and author of ten books. Webb's successful first novel, Fields of Fire, drawn from personal experience, tells the story of a platoon of United States Marines in late 1960s Vietnam. Reviewers hailed its descriptions of infantry life and combat. After five more novels, he wrote Born Fighting: How the Scots-Irish Shaped America, a personal view of Scots-Irish and their place in American history and culture. In addition, Webb wrote the story, and was the executive producer for, the 2000 film “Rules of Engagement,” which starred Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel L. Jackson.
