History-fyi:Significance of the "Hat in the Ring" Red Ribbon: On Feb. 21, 1912, Teddy Roosevelt used the phrase "My hat is in the ring" as he accepted the nomination of the Progressive Party to run for the office of President.Tossing one's "hat in the ring" is an old boxing phrase to signify one's willingness to become a challenger.Eddie Rickenbacker, in 1918 painted the Hat in the ring insignia on his and his squadron's airplanes during WW1 when he was assigned to the newly formed 94th Pursuit SquadronAs commander of the 94th, nicknamed the "Hat in the Ring" Squadron, he displayed the managerial skills that served him so well in later endeavors. Twelve years after the war ended, Eddie Rickenbacker was belatedly awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his accomplishments. Eddie Rickenbacker became General Manager of Eastern in 1933, and in 1938, with a group of investors, he bought it and became its president. Starting with an aggressively low bid ($0!) for a government air mail contract, he managed the company profitably for twenty years. Frank Lorenzo brought an end to Eastern Airlines.
