Honor our Great Country's Military Men and Women Everyday

Honor our Great Country's Military Men and Women Everyday, Memorial Day, an American Holiday which is now observed on the last Monday of May, has always been to show Honor to the many Men and Women which who died while serving in our U.S. Military. Which was originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the year of 1868 following the Civil War (Which the True name is The War for Southern Independence).

For decades Memorial Day was observed on the 30th of May, which was the date a Northern General by the name of John A. Logan had selected for the very first Decoration Day. Then in 1968 Congress passed the Uniform Monday Act, in which moved Memorial Day to be observed on the last Monday in May in order to create a three day Weekend for themselves and other regular Federal Employees. That change went into effect in the year of 1971, and that same Law declared Memorial Day to became an official Federal Holiday. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting Cemeteries and Memorials.

Honor our Great Country's Military Men and Women Everyday, Decoration Day, On the 5th of May,1862, General John A. Logan, leader of an organization for Northern Civil War Veterans, called for a Nationwide day of Remembrance later that Month. “The 30th of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet churchyard in the land,” he proclaimed. The date of Decoration Day, as he called it, was chosen because it wasn’t the anniversary of any particular battle.

On the first Decoration Day, General James Garfield made a speech at Arlington National Cemetery, and 5,000 participants decorated the graves of the 20,000 Union and Confederate Soldiers buried there. Many Northern States held similar commemorative events and reprised the tradition in subsequent years; by 1890 each one had made Decoration Day an official State Holiday. Many Southern States, on the other hand, continued to honor their dead on separate days until after World War I.

Honor our Great Country's Military Men and Women Everyday, the Evolution of Decoration Day/Memorial Day. Memorial Day, as Decoration Day gradually came to be known, originally honored only those lost while fighting in the Civil War. But during World War I the United States found itself embroiled in another major conflict, and the holiday evolved to commemorate American military personnel who died in all wars.

As a Vet which Served in actual Battles, I ask that each of y'all to please take the time to show your support to each and every Vet, and Honor them by saying Thank You for their Service and shake their hand! Not only today, Veterans Day and Independence Day, but each and everyday y'all come across a Vet. I sure can say that its truly appreciate more than most folks might ever know!

Honor our Great Country's Military Men and Women Everyday, something which my Lady does, she buys Dunkin Donuts Gift Cards that are good for a Cup of Coffee, and besides saying Thank You to every Vet she comes across wearing something showing they are a Vet, she gives them one of the Cards.

Thank You mighty kindly to each and everyone of my Brother and Sister Vets for Serving our Great Country!!!


God Bless America!!!

For many years Mary Exner actually lived alone with her puppy dog in the vast building and rambling from room to room in the building.




Open Studio Weekend in the Village of Bellows Falls Vermont, when she passed away many years ago, the building sat empty.

 The Southwest Corner to be Performed in Springfield Vermont, hey there folks how about coming on out to take in and enjoy the season opening play.

On Friday the 25th of May 2012 the Springfield Community Players will be opening their season with the enjoyable Comedy-Drama titled The Southwest Corner by John Cecil Holm, which is based in the book written by Mildred Walker. This play is humor of a gentle, whimsical sort permeates the all-too-real story of an Elderly Woman who wants to stay in her Generations Old Home in Vermont.




The Southwest Corner to be Performed in Springfield Vermont, this mighty fine play will be performed at the Springfield Community Players Studio which is located on South Street in Springfield, Vermont. The play is scheduled to be performed as follows, Friday the 25th of May at 7:30 P.M., Saturday the 26th of May at 7:30 P.M., Friday the 1st of June and Saturday the 2nd of June 2012. General admission to enjoy the performance is as follows, $15.00 and $12.00 for Senioes and Students. Call 802-885-4098 to make your reservations.




The Springfield Community Players are able to trace its roots back to the Fall of 1920, which the formation of the Dramatic Society by the Community Club of Springfield. The Community Club's purpose was to create and sustain interest in all matters pertaining to Drama, back in the 1920's sure was a mighty exciting time for the Theaters. All throughout Vermont, and matter of fact all across our entire Great Country there were Community Theater Groups were being organized, and which many of them are still going. Eighty three years later the Springfield Community Players are still going strong, and can claim the title of being the longest continuously actively operating Amateur Theater Group in the State of Vermont.



The Southwest Corner to be Performed in Springfield Vermont, Marcia Elder, a retired village school teacher, lives alone in her family home in Vermont. She is very happy in her lovely country house, but she begins to think about the possibility of finding a companion who will care for her as she grows older. In reply to an advertisement she has put in a newspaper, Bea Cannon turns up. Bea is a widow, energetic, talkative and the kind of person who takes over wherever she finds herself. Marcia agrees to take Bea as her companion, signing a will in which she leaves her house and all its antique furnishings to Bea in return for Bea’s care as long as Marcia lives.




But no sooner than Bea is settled into Marcia’s home than her true nature appears. She’s not actively unkind or selfish, but being insensitive she can be almost more cruel. Bea can understand only her own kind of life, one which centered around confession magazines, television and gossiping with the neighbors. But since none of these things are available in Marcia’s home.


At this point I'll leave y'all hanging, I sure don't want to spoil it for y'all.

One of the main reason I do bring folks blog posts of different aspects of Native American life and events, has to do with the fact that I'm Blood Brother of the Cheyenne Nation.

For thousands of years the Abenaki and Pennacook people have lived in New Hampshire, their ancestors are the one which actually gave the names to the Lakes, Ponds, Rivers and Streams, like Lake Sunapee and the Sugar River. Plus the landmark names which folks use in this here area. 

Native American History Program Unity New Hampshire, back when the White Colonial folks first started, which they called settling in the area, but I call what they did was stealing back in 1761. This area was still the center of the Abenaki and Pennacook homeland and there were many Abenaki and Pennacook people living in the area. 

Unfortunately the local Native American people of the Abenaki and Pennacook have been for the most part left out of the History that is taught in the Schools of New Hampshire Towns and the few Cities in the State. The folks which take the time to attend what sure should be a mighty fine program this evening, sure will get to learn about this here little known chapter of the Local History of the Native Americans which lived and call New Hampshire their home.

Below are some frequently asked questions about Invasive Exotic Plants

What are Invasive Exotic Plants?
Invasive exotic plants are non-native plants that invade and alter both natural and managed areas. When invasive, exotic plants reach new areas where they are free from their natural predators they persist and proliferate to the detriment of native plants and animals. It’s important to remember that not all non-native plants are invasive and not all invasive plants are non-native.



Invasive Plants Presentation and Discussion Program to be held in Springfield Vermont, where do Invasive Exotic Plants come from? Most invasive plants come from other continents and countries, but some, like the black locust (Robinia pseudacica) are native to other regions of the United States.


How do Invasive Exotic Plants get here? Ornamental Plant Trade: Horticulturalists and gardeners alike take delight in finding rare, new plants to display in their gardens. Very few of these exotic plants move and invade outside of their landscaped setting, but the few that do cause great harm to our Natural World. Accidental Importation: Some plants arrive accidentally in air or water cargo. Purple Loosestrife is thought to have arrived in North America by seeds stuck to Livestock. Boaters can carry bits of Eurasian Milfoil on their boat from one lake to another and hikers can move Garlic Mustard seeds along trails on their boots and clothes.

Agricultural Operations: Some of Vermont’s most important agricultural crops, such as red clover, are exotic plants. Plants like Reed Canary Grass, however, are invasive exotics that were brought to the US as hay for Livestock.Conservation Plantings: Conservation organizations have also been responsible for the spread of some exotic plant species. Bush honeysuckles were once planted in restoration projects because ecologists believed them to be good habitat and food for wildlife. Research now suggests that Honeysuckle Berries are nutritionally deficient for wildlife and predation increases on bird’s nests built in Honeysuckles. Aquarium Trade: Many of Vermont’s worst aquatic invasive exotic plants were once prevalent in the aquarium trade. Aquaculturalists who improperly dispose of their aquarium plants into rivers, lakes and streams can inadvertently release invasive plants into our waters.




Invasive Plants Presentation and Discussion Program to be held in Springfield Vermont, how do Invasive Exotic Plants act in their Native Lands?  In their native habitats these species are often found in small, well-behaved populations. This is because they occur with other organisms, such as other plants, insects and diseases, that keep the plant’s population in balance. When humans import these plants from their native environment we do not bring along all the other organisms that keep the plant’s populations in check in the new area.



Does the addition of a Non-Native Species increase biodiversity? Yes – if you are only concerned with the number of species in the short term. Invasive exotic plants will become a “new” species in an area but may also decrease the number of Native species found there as well. Purple Loosestrife, now common in many Vermont wetlands will, out-compete rare, Native Wetland Plants that are only found in Vermont or Northern New England. Local biodiversity may increase at the first arrival of these plants but then plummet once the invasive exotics replace the Native Plants. When this happens, global biodiversity will decrease at the loss of the rare plant.




Invasive Plants Presentation and Discussion Program to be held in Springfield Vermont, why should we even care? Following habitat destruction, invasive species are the second leading cause biodiversity loss around the world. Forty-two percent of threatened and endangered plants and animals in the United States are directly harmed by the presence of invasive organisms. International, federal, state and municipal governments spend billions of dollars each year to control and rectify the harm caused by invasive plants.
