"Serious, hard-working Pvt. Leroy Fletcher, of the Aviation squadron, probably is one of the most conscientious janitors in base headquarters. Through his prodding, much work is accomplished by him and other janitors in the building is kept warm. Private Fletcher, native of Cleveland, Texas, entered the army March 16, 1943, received his basic training at Jefferson barracks, Mo., and arrived at the Army Air Base, Casper, June 13, 1943. During the summer he was on the crew which decorated the base driveways with whitewashed native stones. The private also helped to put the bark slabs on the exterior of the Officers’ club. He began working in base headquarters as janitor on Oct. 1. Twenty-nine-years old, the soldier has spent most of his life in Texas where he fired a boiler for the Mississippi Bulk Crate company. Married, he now lives with his wife in Casper."

Palo Alto Battlefield: History Stands Tall, Thanks to GAOA

Type: Gallery
Locations: Palo Alto Battlefield National Historical Park

This photo album documents the transformative work undertaken at Palo Alto Battlefield National Historical Park in Brownsville, Texas, where the opening major battle of the U.S.-Mexican War took place. Through the Great American Outdoors Act (GAOA) Legacy Restoration Fund, a Maintenance Action Team (MAT) from Rocky Mountain National Park, alongside the park's facilities staff, executed a critical vegetation management and hazard tree removal project. These images showcase the team's efforts in removing dead and hazardous trees, pruning overgrown vegetation, and mitigating overhead hazards along trails and the entrance drive, all aimed at enhancing visitor safety and accessibility. Furthermore, the album captures the National Chainsaw Safety Program (NCSP) training provided to park staff, empowering them to maintain the landscape safely and effectively. This project, made possible by GAOA funding, exemplifies the National Park Service's commitment to preserving our nation's treasures and ensuring that this significant historical site remains both safe and inspiring for all who visit. I’d like to start the album with the “before” photos followed by the “action” shots.

Gettysburg National Military Park

4. "The matter of the Kentucky marker on the battlefield of Shiloh is evolving nicely…" From The Register of the Kentucky Historical Society, October 1972.

Type: Photo
Locations: Gettysburg National Military Park

The matter of the Kentucky marker on the battlefield of Shiloh is evolving nicely. The site has been selected, the place of production of the marker selected, the historian is composing the legend, and the map is being sketched. Contrariwise, the marker project relating to the field at Gettysburg has struck a formidable obstacle. The rule exercised by the Department of the Interior is that for a state to have a monument or memorial on the national battlefield, that state must have had one or more units in the battle. Kentucky had none. And the authorities are rather reluctant to accept the extenuating circumstances as fulfillment of requirements. The number of native born Kentuckians participating in that decisive engagement must have been great. Major General John Buford, a native of Woodford County, commanded the Union Calvary, which held off the Confederate Army sufficiently long for the main force to come up. With gallant action enabled the Union forces to seize position sufficiently strategic to affect the outcome of the battle. General John B Hood, native of Bath County, commanded the celebrated so-called “Texas Division;” He was a hero of many a hard fought battle. Major General Jerome Bonaparte Robertson, also a Woodford native, succeeded Hood as the beloved commander of the “Texas Division.” Both Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis were native Kentuckians. Could anyone have performed a more glorious act at Gettysburg than Lincoln, who pronounced the immortal Gettysburg Address? Kentucky deserves to have a memorial at Gettysburg. From The Register of the Kentucky Historical Society, October 1972.
