150th annual Westminster Memorial Day parade and ceremonies

On Memorial Day Charles Harrison, Walter Groomes, and Doug
Battaglini shared thoughts about Vietnam

On Memorial Day about 25 folks gathered at the Carroll Co.

Md.

Tuesday, May 30, 2017 Westminster Md. - by Kevin Dayhoff

This year, about 25 folks gathered at the Carroll County
Vietnam Memorial, at the corner of Willis and Court Streets, in Westminster,
Md. right after the Westminster Memorial Day ceremonies at the Westminster
Cemetery May 29, 2017 in Westminster.

For several decades, a number of folks have gathered there,
every year on Memorial Day, for an impromptu ceremony at the large black
granite memorial with the names of the 18 fellow Carroll countian friends,
neighbors and loved ones who gave their lives in the service of our country
during the Vietnam War.

This year, Carroll County marked its 150th continuous annual
observance of Memorial Day with a parade and ceremonies at the Westminster
Cemetery. The annual tradition was first organized by Mary Bostwick Shellman on
May 30, 1868.

In May 2008, local writer and historian Carrie Ann Knauer
reported, “As best anyone can estimate, 182 Carroll countians have lost their
lives in the armed services during conflicts since 1917. But tracking exactly
how many have died — particularly those in earlier wars in America’s history —
is a difficult task, according to a local historian.”

The Carroll County Maryland Vietnam Memorial Park at the
corner of Willis and Court Street, next to the historic Courthouse was
dedicated on May 28, 1990. Every year at the Carroll County Vietnam Memorial,
we remember those who gave their lives and try to give them a voice.

This year, in a moving tribute about the war and how Vietnam
veterans were treated after the war, Vietnam combat veteran Walter Pete Groomes
poignantly shared some thoughts, with our keynote speaker Charles Harrison, and
my Westminster High School Class of 1971 classmate Doug Battaglini.

Both Battaglini and Groomes are held in high regard in the
community for their leadership roles. They serve as a rock or many Vietnam-era
veterans, whether they served in county, or like this writer, stateside.

After the war, Harrison continued to serve in the FBI, a
leader in the Carroll County NAACP, volunteer leadership roles with a community
focus group that served in an advisory role in the selection of a new
Westminster police chief in the early 2000s, and as an Orphan Court Judge, to
mention a few of his accomplishments.

In Vietnam, be served as a Captain in the U.S. Army as helicopter
pilot. His service earned him the Bronze Star.

The comments of Groomes, Battaglini, and Harrison, tied-in
with the moving remarks by Carroll County State’s Attorney Brian DeLeonardo,
the day before at the annual Pleasant Valley Memorial Day ceremonies. In a
moving presentation, DeLeonardo spoke about his late Dad, who served in
Vietnam. His Dad succumbed a number of years ago, at age 49, to complications
of his exposure to Agent Orange during the war.

What many attending the ceremonies found particularly moving
was his explanation, that for decades most Vietnam veterans never spoke of the
war, or their service to our country. This came as a result of the way most
Vietnam veterans were treated with disdain and scorn by much of society, and
especially the anti-war demonstrators.

Time Flies by Kevin Dayhoff: “This Memorial Day we remember
the service and sacrifice of Joseph Oreto” http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/columnists/features/ph-cc-dayhoff-052117-20170520-column.html
The Black Horse Regiment first arrived in South Vietnam at Vung Tau on
September 7, 1966. It was engaged in heavy combat and took heavy casualties
throughout the balance of the war.

Joseph Anthony Oreto was one of 730 members of the ACR lost
in Vietnam. He was 21-years old when he died for our country on April 13, 1969.

Oreto was stationed at the Bien Hoa Air Base, about 16-miles
above Saigon and killed in Tay Ninh Province up along the Cambodian border,
during Operation Toan Thang II. Otherwise known as the defense of Saigon, the
objective was a search and clear operation to discourage North Vietnamese Army
campsites and rocket positions within striking distance of Saigon.

John Green and Kevin Dayhoff at Buzzard’s Crust Studios at the farmhouse on Sept. 17, 1998


John Green and Kevin Dayhoff at Buzzard’s Crust Studios at the farmhouse on Sept. 17, 1998

Sister Linda, and John, look what I found in an old folder I had not looked in for years. I miss John…

John Green and Kevin Dayhoff at Buzzard’s Crust Studios at the farmhouse on Sept. 17, 1998. I miss John. John was my partner and friend for many years. We lost John all too young and all too soon in late summer 2004.

“And we should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.

“The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.” - Friedrich Nietzsche

#amwriting Home away from home office at Inova Fairfax



#amwriting Home away from home office at Inova Fairfax

When it comes to writing, history does not take into consideration difficulty.

April 6, 2017 #amwriting KED

Last year, in January, February, and March of 2016, when a family member was very sick at Inova Fairfax Hospital just outside of Washington DC, in northern-Virginia, I was writing my columns on the fly. I wrote one in the car in the parking garage, in the cold. I wrote them in the passenger seat of the car while Caroline drove.

However, many of them – most of them, were written in the middle of the night at an out of the way dining area deep in the bowels of the Inova Fairfax Hospital.

As an aside, I have visited hospitals literally all over the world. And in spite of the fact that Inova Fairfax is a ginormous hospital, it was an exceptionally nice hospital. The staff was very accommodating and definitely in the customer service business. And oh, I just looked-up the hospital to make sure that I spelled it correctly and I see where the wait time in the ER, at the moment, is “12 mins.” Just saying…. Hmmmm http://www.inova.org/patient-and-visitor-information/facilities/inova-fairfax-hospital/index.jsp

Anyway, I just ran across this picture…. And I thought I would share it. In the center, at the table with the coffee cup, up against the back wall, was my home away from home office for weeks. April 6, 2017 #amwriting
