TLS Matthew Bunker Ridgway Signed United States Congress 1968 Matthew Bunker Ridgway (American, 1895-1993) Typed Signed Letter, 2 March, 1968 Personal Letterhead Vietnam War Chronology Interest Notes: A typed signed letter dated [1968.03.02, Sat] by General Matthew Ridgway to collector Marshall E. Bean providing an autograph in response to a request [1968.02.29, Thurs] for a replacement of a lost photograph. Context: The night before Bean sent the request [1968.02.28, Wed] General Wheeler briefed President Lyndon B. Johnson that the US would require the entire 205,000 troops to hold ground in Vietnam shocking the President to charge newly appointed Defense Secretary Clark Clifford to reexamine Vietnam policy and strategy. Ridgway, then retired, was acting as one of Johnson’s “Wise Men”, a group of retired diplomats, politicians, and generals who assembled to give their advice and whose advice Johnson took seriously. On the evening previous to sending the response to Bean [1968.03.01, Fri] Ridgway had been summoned by Senator J William Fulbright to meet privately with Secretary Clifford and General Gavin to discuss Vietnam; both advised that victory in Vietnam was unobtainable and he should use his influence with Johnson to persuade him to seek a diplomatic solution. The advice from Ridgway and Gavin helped to convert Clifford from being a hawk to a dove. Twenty-three days later [1968.03.25, Mon] Johnson called his own meeting of the “Wise Men” where Ridgway would again advise a diplomatic solution and by [1968.03.31, Sun] Johnson went on national television to announce his willingness to open peace talks with North Vietnam, that he was unconditionally stopping bombing most of North Vietnam and finally declaring that he was withdrawing from the 1968 election. RIDGWAY, Matthew: A senior officer in the United States Army, who served as Supreme Allied Commander Europe (1952–1953) and the 19th Chief of Staff of the United States Army (1953–1955). Although he saw no combat service in World War I, he was intensively involved in World War II, where he was the first Commanding General (CG) of the 82nd «All American» Airborne Division, leading it in action in Sicily, Italy and Normandy, before taking command of the newly formed XVIII Airborne Corps in August 1944. He held the latter post until the end of the war in mid-1945, commanding the corps in the Battle of the Bulge, Operation Varsity and the Western Allied invasion of Germany. Ridgway held several major commands after World War II and was most famous for resurrecting the United Nations (UN) war effort during the Korean War. Several historians have credited Ridgway for turning the war around in favor of the UN side. He also persuaded President Dwight D. Eisenhower to refrain from direct military intervention in the First Indochina War to support French colonial forces, thereby essentially delaying the United States’ Vietnam War by over a decade. His long military career was recognized by the award of the Presidential Medal of Freedom on May 12, 1986, by President Ronald Reagan, who stated that: «Heroes come when they’re needed; great men step forward when courage seems in short supply.» Ridgway died in 1993 at the age of 98. Ridgway considered leadership to have three primary ingredients: character, courage, and competence. He described character—including self-discipline, loyalty, selflessness, modesty, and willingness to accept responsibility and admit mistakes—as the «bedrock on which the whole edifice of leadership rests.» His concept of courage included both physical and moral courage. Competence included physical fitness, anticipating when crises will occur and being present to resolve them, and being close to subordinates—communicating clearly and ensuring that they are treated and led well and fairly.
