Found in	His In hoc signo vinces, c1960. Wikipedia, February 14, 2018 (Rockwell was born in Bloomington, Illinois on March 9, 1918. In 1938, Rockwell enrolled at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island as a philosophy major. In his sophomore year, Rockwell dropped out of Brown University and accepted a commission in the United States Navy. In his 19 years of service, Rockwell had obtained the rank of commander, and he was commanding officer of several aviation reserve units. In 1960, as a result of his political activities, the United States Navy discharged Rockwell one year short of retirement because he was regarded as "not deployable" due to his political views. In 1946, he entered the commercial art program at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. He left Pratt before finishing his final year, and moved to Maine to found his own advertising agency. The new enterprise incorporated Rockwell's political causes: his opposition to both racial integration and communism. In March 1959, Rockwell founded the World Union of Free Enterprise National Socialists (WUFENS), In December, the organization was renamed the American Nazi Party, and its headquarters was relocated to 928 North Randolph Street in Arlington, Virginia. On August 25, 1967, Rockwell was shot and killed in Arlington, Virginia.)
