Temple de la Sagrada Familia - Barcelona, Spain. One of the sites you must visit on the 2021 Fall Field Day Tour of Duty - Iberian Adventure. Unfortunately I couldn't post the photos due to privacy settings.
I understand that there should not be a public gathering for a reading of the Declaration tomorrow from the Old State House. But does this mean this would be the first time since 1777 that is is skipped? Perhaps someone could recite the Declaration from the balcony to an empty street and stream the reading over the internet.
Release of The Noble Train The story of a twenty five year old Boston bookseller who dragged 60 tons of cannons to George Washington and saved the American Revolution
Great parade and ceremony. Well worth going in to a crowded Boston. People around me loved it. Happy to participate.
I wonder if this Gentleman was in the same group from San Diego we met last in October on or FFDTD at the Iwo Jima Memorial in Washington when we were there
Rest easy Soldier and thank you for your service and sacrifice God Speed
In Dec 1891 , P S GILMORE decided that that to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America in 1492 he would hold the first open air celebration of the New Year on January 1 in front of City Hall . That tradition continues to this day and was started by GILMORE . 100 years later City Hall , New York issued a proclamation to honour the great Irishman from Galway .......... Happy New Year to all .

Grand Army of the Republic {cont. }- And so on in April 6th 1866 , the organisation GAR was founded .GAR Posts began in States throughout the UNION . In Massachusetts a listed 104 posts began , while in Kentucky another 150 prospered . In Kansas 500 were activated and in New York over 672 Posts were active through the State . P S Gilmore and all his bands were active for all occasions of remembrance and commemoration of both the hard fought divisive war but also the memory of the many souls lost in battle . Interestingly in the thousands of Posts listed nationwide there had been none publicized as remembering those musicians who had fought and performed for the UNION and this didn't escape Gilmore's attention , so in New York he became the founder and First Commander of MUSICIANS POST 452 . The Posts last address was Old Homestead, 3rd Ave. and 91st St.; 210-214 E. 86th St. They were organised {or received Members initially } on March 13th 1884 . And in 1892 the GAR HQ in Washington DC sanctioned the name change on his death from Musicians Post 452 to honor the Post's founder and first Commander, Patrick S.Gilmore, in September 1892. The Post surrendered its charter in 1910-1911 with 12 members still on the roll.
I will ask anyone who may have have information that this is not the only Musicians Post in the GAR but I cannot find any other presently - This GAR POST was the only specific MUSICIANS POST in the GAR among the many thousands of POSTS in the that organisation dedicated to the memory of the dulcet sounds of these men and the duty for which they were dedicated to fulfill Here is the cover of the P S Gilmore Post 452.
{More tomorrow } Thank you to the SUVCW for their help.
May these Musicians and others not listed but served, never be forgotten and Rest in Peace . {Please Share }

Our Assumption: in 1981 POU had hacked a Plan for Western Uganda to Secede, join Rwanda Burundi and Eastern DRC, Kivu Region! Evidence: TODAY M23 and ADF REBELS are co-opted! Required: Everyone should Follow A Precedent which was set up in 1973 when the then Emerging 2nd Islamic State In Uganda (I.S.I.U.) Fighters had cornered the Guerilla Leader, President Yoweri Museveni, then away from his home Region of Western Uganda but this time was safe in new BAALE ZONE (MBALE Territory). * While avoiding the planting of GUNS and BULLETS/TREASON Case, How Museveni was well treated in new BAALE Zone (Mbale), Eastern Uganda is the way to set free Hon. Kyagulanyi Ssentamu by President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. Purpose: to fight Intolerance.

Wonderful to see the Post re P S Gilmore . He was the single most important Bandmaster in 19th Century America in during the Civil War and till his death in 1892 . But in 1865 he was "recruited" to the Ancient and Honorable membership. and for years his band not only provided the annual entertainment but led the Parade on the 250th Anniversary of the AHA with 36 piece Band tp the State House . That day the band were wearing uniforms presented by Boston Merchants especially for the occasion. It is interesting to review the Finance Committee of the AHA that signed each of the Gilmore Band Invoices and approved them for payment . Thank you .
