This question is incomplete. Its full version is:
On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the porch, dumb, expectant. I guessed vaguely from my mother's signs and from the hurrying to and fro in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps. The afternoon sun penetrated the mass of honeysuckle that covered the porch and fell on my upturned face. My fingers lingered almost unconsciously on the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring. I did not know what the future held of marvel or surprise for me.

Explanation:
Roosevelt had big plans in relation to the military power that the USA would have because of that, he decided to empower the American navy, providing resources and technologies, to expand and modernize it, as the text says. However, he stated that the reason for investing in the navy was protection in the country, not involvement in the conflict between European countries as we can see from the excerpt "Just after the outbreak of the First World War in August 1914, President Woodrow Wilson declared that the United States would remain neutral. It would become the job of the Navy to protect the nation's neutrality at sea and at home by stationing destroyers in the Boston Navy Yard. "
However, the conflict was too great to keep the country neutral. At one point, in the name of freedom and in order to suppress Germany's injustices and barbarities, the United States decided to declare war on Germany. At that time, a large number of workers (including women, according to the text) were needed to reinforce the available resources for the war, in addition, this moment established the time to put the American navy in direct conflict and use all its modernity and structure against enemies.
Even without remaining neutral, Roosevelt concluded his desire to use the Boston Navy Yard to protect the country, as it was paramount in defense at the military level. In addition, it promoted international well-being. According to the text "the Navy department selected the Boston Navy Yard for the construction of the first ship specifically built to transport supplies and provisions for refueling the fleet abroad."
This established the United States as a major world power, as well as showing the entire world how to avoid US enmity>
