The 54th Quartermaster Company is one of the U.S. Army's two active-duty mortuary affairs companies, both based at Fort Lee. While the Soldiers from the 54th already received training on personal protective equipment, the additional training from the 34th CST helped them gain additional proficiency and confidence in their abilities and equipment.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — – Technical Sgt. Eric Miller, a Public Affairs Specialist with the 106th Rescue Wing, Westhampton Beach, New York, was one of the many National Guardsmen providing support at the Presidential Inauguration. The 57th Presidential Inauguration was held in Washington D.C. on Monday, January 21, 2013.
During the 10-day inaugural period approximately 6,000 National Guard personnel from over 30 states and territories worked for Joint Task Force-District of Columbia, providing traffic control, crowd management, transportation, communication, medical and logistical support as well as marching in the Inaugural Parade. More than 13,000 Active Duty, National Guard and Reserve military members were involved in the inauguration.
Since 1789, the U.S. Armed Forces have participated in this important American tradition honoring our Commander in Chief. The parade is organized by the Joint Task Force-National Capital Region, and participants are selected by the Presidential Inaugural Committee.

Why Support Gen44 and the DNC?
• The DNC is the political arm of the White House.
The DNC has three main goals: to support the President’s agenda, build the national party’s infrastructure, and elect Democrats at all levels of government. The DNC is working hard to support the President as he enacts an ambitious agenda that is getting our economy moving again and changing the way things in Washington get done. By helping the President succeed, we know we are helping Democratic candidates and Democratic leaders in every state. The 2012 elections are an important chapter in our continued efforts to build a better America. We work closely with the DSCC, DCCC, DGA, and other Democratic groups to get Democrats elected at all levels of government.
One of the primary focuses of the DNC is helping to fight back against attacks from the right and get the truth out about what Republicans really stand for, which is Wall Street, not Main Street.
• The DNC thinks nationally and acts locally.
The DNC is committed to supporting Democrats at every level in all 50 states. Building on the successful 50-state strategy and utilizing the talent and strategies developed during the Obama For America Campaign, Organizing for America was born. Organizing for America (OFA) is the grassroots project of the Democratic National Committee dedicated to building support for President Obama’s agenda for change. OFA’s network of volunteers and staff is actively working at the grassroots level in all 50 states to promote the President’s proposals to strengthen America’s middle class by creating jobs, passing health insurance reform, building a clean energy economy, improving education, and reining in the excesses of Wall Street. OFA is actively involved in electing allies the President can count on in Congress to pass his agenda.
• The DNC is creating a long-term infrastructure for positive change.
Throughout the last year, the Democratic National Committee has made long-term investments to grow the Democratic Party in all 50 states. We work closely with Democratic state parties and committees, Organizing for America, campaigns, and Democratic activists. Thanks to our investments and work on the ground, we are in strong shape going into the November elections and will mount an aggressive effort in campaigns across the company. There is no doubt there will be many tough races, but the infrastructure we have in place has put us in a strong position heading towards November.

“Not in My Name”: Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) Representatives and Peace Activists Speak to Seattle City Council in Support of Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant’s Letter Calling on President Obama and the U.S. Congress to Denounce Israel’s Siege and Blockade of Gaza and to End U.S. Military Support for Israel: Seattle City Council Chambers, Seattle City Hall, 600 4th Avenue, Seattle, Washington, Monday, August 11, 2014.

Dear President Obama, Members of the House of Representatives, and Members of the Senate,
As the most recent wave of Israeli bombardment of Gaza enters its 28th day, many of us globally watch in horror as the death toll soars. News reports indicate that more than 1,888 Palestinians have been killed, while more than 9,400 have been injured. Hundreds of Palestinian children and civilians are counted among the dead in this humanitarian catastrophe. Sixty-three Israeli soldiers have also died, along with two Israeli civilians and a Thai worker.
Yesterday, Israel attacked a United Nations school sheltering some 3,000 displaced people in Rafah, in Southern Gaza, killing 10 people and prompting United Nations Secretary-General Ban-Ki Moon to declare the attack “a moral outrage and a criminal act.” The U.S. State Department also issued a denunciation saying, “The United States is appalled by today’s disgraceful shelling outside an UNRWA school.”
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is reaching a critical breaking point. The 139 square mile territory contains 1.8 million people who literally have nowhere to go and no place to hide from Israeli attacks. The UN reports that medical facilities are “on the verge of collapse.” An attack on Gaza power plant has left more than half the population without electricity, and more than 270,000 people are reportedly crammed into 90 UN shelters. Without an immediate end to all hostilities, the Palestinian death toll will continue to rise rapidly.
We also condemn the indiscriminate rocket attacks by Hamas against the civilian population living in Israel. We stand in solidarity with the ordinary people of Israel and their desire for security, and in particular with the Israeli anti-war movement.
Security and peace will never be achieved on the basis of the current occupation and blockades. The path to protecting the legitimate interests of the Palestinian people as well as the ordinary people of Israel lies first and foremost in ending the illegal building of settlements in the Palestinian territories and an end to Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories.
We call on President Obama, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the U.S. Senate to issue a formal statement denouncing Israel’s siege and blockade of Gaza and the occupation of the West Bank. We also call for an immediate end to all U.S. government military aid for Israel.
Premier Jason Kenney announced, in Bowden, Alberta on Friday, August 6, 2021, the next wave of support for agricultural producers facing extraordinary costs this summer.
Drought-stricken livestock producers will be eligible for millions of dollars in financial relief and will benefit from new rangeland initiatives that will improve access to water grazing.
The Government of Alberta is making $136 million available under the AgriRecovery program, a joint program between the governments of Alberta and Canada, and has asked the federal government to provide an additional $204 million for a total relief package of $340 million.
The federal government is currently evaluating this request and earlier today announced $100 million in immediate relief for Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, British Columbia and Alberta. Programming costs are split 60-40 between the provincial and federal governments.
This funding would provide much-needed financial support and immediate cash flow for Alberta’s livestock producers and beekeepers to purchase feed, water and fencing, if approved.
In addition, Alberta Environment and Parks has approved several temporary changes to grazing and water regulations to open new sources of feed for livestock.
“Alberta’s government will always stand behind our farmers and ranchers. They have endured an exceptionally difficult year because of drought conditions and I am pleased that we are able to provide this relief and support to help them get through this time. These hard-working Albertans are always there for us. We owe it to them to be there when they need us.” said the Premier.

usually whenever I go to an art fair I look for big vases to store big spindles and support spindles. The vase in the back was a gift from my dad in-law.
lately my love of support spindle has grown exponentially, so they kind of need their own home. Due to summer graduate school I couldn't attend a lot of art fair this summer. Last Monday, hubby and I went to Dakota county fair to visit my submission to the fair. I won 2 blue ribbons under handspun category for both handspun yarn and handspun shawl. We also tried a homemade root beer thus the can from Bayou Billy. The vendor is there every year this is the first year we try it. We loved the taste. Not too sweet as some commercially made root beer.
So now the can is being used as a home for the support spindles. I put rice inside to help keep the support spindles stand.
KISSIMMEE, FLA. – Four Soldiers from Mission Support Element, 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary), joined thousands of service members, veterans and their families who gathered at the Westgate Resort in Kissimmee for free food, live music and heartfelt fellowship during the second annual Military Appreciation Weekend Concert held May 5, 2018.
Westgate Resorts’ CEO David Siegel opened the property to more than 1,500 military families for a complimentary, three-night stay that culminated in a free concert that featured the Chris Weaver Band.
Alongside the complimentary concessions and children activities, the 143d ESC Soldiers set up and managed two static displays featuring one of the unit’s Humvees and Light Medium Tactical Vehicle. The vehicles attracted hundreds of children, dozens of young adults and even a few veterans who climbed aboard the driver’s seat, donned an Advanced Combat Helmet and put their hands on the steering wheel.
In addition to the dozens of pop, rock, country and R&B songs played by the Chris Weaver Band, the concert offered a military flair complete with the presentation of the colors by Veterans of Foreign Wars Command Post 4287, the singing of the national anthem by American Idol contestant Alyssa Raghu and a helicopter flyover conducted by the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office.
Among the long list of VIPs was Florida Gov. Rick Scott who shook hands and took pictures with the 143d ESC Soldiers.
The concert concluded with fireworks that illuminated the night sky, its colorful patterns bouncing off thousands of fluttering flags and smiling faces.
