Next Monday is Memorial Day. For many it is more than a holiday, it is a day when we gather as a community to express our gratitude to our country’s men and women in uniform, who by their sacrifice cannot be with us to enjoy the day… http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5122

This year, Westminster and Carroll County will mark its 145th observance of Memorial Day with an expanded parade and four-days of activities.

The tradition of the parade and ceremony in Westminster began in 1868, when Mary Bostwick Shellman followed General John A. Logan’s May 5, 1868, General Order No. 11 to adorn the graves of Union soldiers with flowers. She gathered a group of schoolchildren for the task and they walked from the old schoolhouse on Center Street to Westminster Cemetery.

[…]

Last week I wrote about a local community leader, Atlee Willis Wampler, Jr., who served as the Westminster Memorial Day parade marshal for more than 44 years, from just after World War II until he passed away March 11, 1991.

[…]

That said, I have grown exhausted with the gut-wrenching existentialism and overwhelming fatigue that accompanies covering military funerals for the paper.

I was quite struck by a May 6 article in The Washington Post by Ian Shapira, “Barbara Robbins: A slain CIA secretary’s life and death,” about a little-known Vietnam War casualty from a bombing that occurred in Saigon March 30, 1965.

According to the article, “The CIA director revealed only a few details about the 21-year-old woman, a secretary among spies. In the agency’s annual memorial service for employees killed on the job, then-Director Leon E. Panetta announced that a new name had been inscribed with calligraphy inside the CIA’s Book of Honor: Barbara Annette Robbins, who had volunteered to go to Saigon during the Vietnam War…

[…]

The story of Ms. Robbins is compelling and evocative. Yet for me, what I found particularly haunting was the black and white picture of a very young American, in a far-off land, defending our freedoms, staring right at us.

'Skip' Amass leads the charge for Westminster's 145th Memorial Day observance

Keeping the focus on community, service ... and good weather

Not long after the sun comes up on Memorial Day, and hours before Westminster's 145th Memorial Day parade kicks off at 9:30 a.m., Arnold "Skip" Amass will be on site, helping set up the TV cameras and tying up last-minute loose ends.

Most of all, he'll be praying for good weather during an event that he's been busy planning almost from the moment that last year's 144th Memorial Day parade wrapped up.

"To give you some idea of the scope of this project, the committee that's working on this with me has about 145 people on it," said Amass, who for the past 15 years has also been the voice of the parade, providing commentary for Carroll County's public access TV channel 19's live coverage of the event.

This is the first year he's taken on the far more demanding role of principal coordinator.

http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2012/05/westminster-2012-memorial-day.html

"The people on the committee, who meet at the American Legion, represent just about every organization and every government in the county, including the library, the farm museum, the police departments," said Amass, 80, himself a Korean War veteran and long-time member of Westminster's Carroll Post 31 American Legion Post… http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/ph-ce-skip-amass-0604-20120523,0,1578592,full.story

This Monday, May 28, I will attend the Catherine A. Mulliken Memorial Run/Walk sponsored by Catherine's Cause and the Lineboro-Manchester Lions Club. This is the 8th annual event in memory of Cathy who at age 20 was tragically killed by a drunk driver. The run/walk begins at 10 a.m. at the Manchester Pool on Victory Street.

Later in the morning, I will catch up to the Memorial Day celebration in Westminster. The parade will begin at 9:30 a.m. on Main Street. I will likely miss most of the parade but hope to attend the ceremony in the Westminster cemetery and visit the grave of my Civil War ancestor, Capt. Thomas Ocker.

Other events are scheduled throughout the weekend in Westminster and are listed below. Also printed below is my Northern News column from May 24, 2012:

WESTMINSTER'S 145TH MEMORIAL DAY CELEBRATION

The 145th celebration of Memorial Day will be held this weekend in Westminster. Veterans' organizations will be hosting a series of events in commemoration of this long-standing continuous tradition since 1868.

Known originally as "Decoration Day," the first Westminster observance was organized in 1868 by Mary Bostwick Shellman who led a children's parade to decorate the graves of Civil War veterans in the Westminster Cemetery. This year's festivities have been coordinated by American Legion Post 31 with Korean War veteran Arnold "Skip" Amass as chairman of the organizing committee of over 150 volunteers.

My great-great-uncle, Thomas Ocker, was one of the Union casualties from Westminster whose grave was decorated at that first "Decoration Day." In fact, my great-grandfather H. Scott Roop may have participated in that first children's parade as a six-year-old. He was the nephew of Capt. Ocker by virtue of being the son of Ocker's sister, Henrietta Ocker Roop.

Ocker served with many local men who volunteered for service in the Union Army with the 6th Regiment, Maryland Volunteer Infantry. He mustered in on August 18, 1862 as a private and received a series of promotions until 1865 when he was mortally wounded on April 2 during the Petersburg Campaign. Ocker survived the surrender of General Robert E. Lee on April 9 at Appomattox but died twenty-five days later on May 4, 1865.

His body was returned home for burial in the Westminster Cemetery. A worn and eroded inscription remains on the white obelisk monument that stands only a hundred feet from where this year's memorial service will be held after the parade on Monday.

Ocker's nephew and my great-grandfather, H. Scott Roop, grew up in Westminster and ran several local businesses. He married Kate McCollum who was a citizen activist engaged in many progressive movements of the early 20thcentury including the women's right to vote. Their son, Harold S. Roop, served with other Westminster servicemen during World War I as part of the U.S. Army's 29th Division, Company C, 112 Machine Gun Battalion.

In the archives of the Historical Society of Carroll County is a poem written by Kate McCollum Roop as a patriotic call to support those called to duty and serving overseas during World War I.

As we honor our veterans and especially our fallen heroes on Memorial Day 2012, I offer my great-grandmother's World War I poem as words of remembrance for those who have served and those who continue to serve our country:

Maryland, My Maryland

We'll all be soldiers everywhere,

In Maryland, My Maryland,

Sure everyone will do his share,

In Maryland, My Maryland.

The Khaki or the Blue we'll wear

To Toll for hours, we must in air,

To save our land, our soil prepare,

In Maryland, My Maryland.

With plow and rake, with pick and hoe,

In Maryland, My Maryland.

Out to the yards and fields we'll go,

In Maryland, My Maryland,

Yes, dig and plant the test we know,

And all the seeds, we have we'll sow,

For Uncle Sam they'll surely grow,

In Maryland, My Maryland.

Our work at home will have no end,

In Maryland, My Maryland,

Till all our strength and time we spend,

In Maryland, My Maryland.

On fields and Trench we must depend,

Our Boys in War our cause defend

While we in turn our food must send,

In Maryland, My Maryland.

Our Victory won through days of stress,

In Maryland, My Maryland.

Her freedom then we will possess,

In Maryland, My Maryland.

Then to her Sons we'll shout success

And Welcome home with tenderness,

Assured that God will greatly bless,

Our Maryland, Dear Maryland.

KATE McCOLLUM ROOP

Four days of tribute and activity for Westminster's 145th Memorial Day observance

By Jim Joyner, http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/ph-ce-memorial-day-0520-20120519,0,3357186.story

May 25, 2012

The 145th consecutive Memorial Day observance in Westminster is being planned as a four-day event, May 25-28, with numerous activities to honor and pay tribute to veterans.

The celebration, sponsored by the American Legion Post 31, has been coordinated by local resident Arnold "Skip" Amass, and been in the works for more than a year, with a committee including volunteers from across the community pitching in.

[…]

The 145th parade — considered to be one of the oldest continuing observances in America — will have U.S. Navy Commander Matthew Shipley, a 1984 Westminster High School graduate, as its grand marshal.
