1906 State of the Union Address

The 1906 State of the Union Address was written by Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States, on December 3, 1906. He did not speak directly to Congress. He said, "The readiness and efficiency of both the Army and Navy in dealing with the recent sudden crisis in Cuba illustrate afresh their value to the Nation. This readiness and efficiency would have been very much less had it not been for the existence of the General Staff in the Army and the General Board in the Navy; both are essential to the proper development and use of our military forces afloat and ashore."
