	James Forrestal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		James Vincent Forrestal (February 15, 1892 – May 22, 1949) was a Secretary of the Navy and the first United States Secretary of Defense (September 17, 1947–March 28, 1949).
		Forrestal was born in Matteawan, now Beacon, New York, the son of an Irish immigrant who dabbled in politics.

Patterson retiring to private life, Forrestal was the next choice.
