Hi Dolly....
Hope you’re able to get some better connection soon!
Your poor son....has he made any improvement at all? Has he been back to see the doctor? I hope he’s still not drinking, although it would be pretty tempting. Does he have any friends, buddies from work, relatives that drop in to see him?
I think of him often and hope he turns things around. God be with him.

In the early 1960s, Elvis Presley, already a global superstar, played a pivotal role in honoring the memory of those who perished at Pearl Harbor by lending his fame and generosity to the construction of the USS Arizona Memorial. After his discharge from the U.S. Army in 1960, Presley was eager to contribute to causes that mattered, and when he learned about the struggling efforts to build a memorial for the USS Arizona, he knew he could make a difference.
On March 25, 1961, Elvis took the stage at Bloch Arena in Pearl Harbor for a benefit concert that would become one of the most significant moments in the memorial’s history. More than 4,000 fans packed the arena to see the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll perform, and their enthusiasm, combined with Elvis’s personal donations, helped raise an impressive $60,000 for the memorial fund. At the time, the fund had been struggling, and Elvis’s involvement not only provided a substantial financial boost but also drew widespread public attention to the cause.
The concert was more than just a fundraising event; it was a catalyst that inspired others to contribute. With renewed interest and additional donations, the fund grew rapidly, reaching $500,000 by September of the same year. This momentum ensured that the USS Arizona Memorial could be completed, and on May 30, 1962, the new memorial was dedicated, standing as a solemn tribute to the 1,177 sailors and Marines who lost their lives aboard the USS Arizona during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
Elvis Presley’s contribution to the USS Arizona Memorial remains a testament to his generosity and sense of patriotism. His involvement went beyond just the concert; it reflected his deep respect for those who served and sacrificed for their country. The memorial itself, now one of the most visited sites in Hawaii, serves as a poignant reminder of the costs of war and the enduring gratitude owed to those who gave their lives in service to their nation. Through his music and his actions, Elvis helped ensure that the legacy of the USS Arizona and its crew would be honored for generations to come.
Hi Dear Dolli.

The Worcester Revolt
On this day in history, September 6, 1774, the Worcester Revolt embodies the real beginning of the American Revolution. You have probably never heard of the Worcester Revolt, but this event that occurred 9 months before the fighting at Lexington and Concord probably deserves the title, the “Beginning of the American Revolution,” more so than does the fighting of April 19, 1775.
The Worcester Revolt was one of a series of revolts in rural Massachusetts that took place as a result of the passage of the Massachusetts Government Act. This act was part of the Coercive Acts, or the Intolerable Acts, passed by Parliament in response to the Boston Tea Party. The Boston Port Act shut down Boston Harbor, but this did not affect the average person in the Massachusetts countryside where the majority of the population lived.
What got the entire countryside involved was the Massachusetts Government Act, which suspended all town meetings, placed a military governor in charge of the state, called for the royal appointment of all government officials and virtually shut down all self-government.
The citizens of Massachusetts had been governing themselves for 150 years. In rural Massachusetts, the state courts were the primary government bodies that had contact with the average person. These courts handled all local law enforcement and legal matters. When the Massachusetts Government Act was passed, alarm spread through the 95% of Massachusetts citizens who lived in these rural areas, who feared that royally appointed officials would mistreat them. This was especially alarming because so much of the population were farmers with large debts.
Creditors posed a constant threat to the livelihood of farmers, but when the courts were filled with locally elected judges, the farmers could breathe easy because the judges could be thrown out at the next election. The new wave of royally appointed officials would not have to go through re-elections and would have no reason to go easy on the debtors. Much of the population felt a very real threat that these judges would allow their creditors to foreclose on them.
The Massachusetts Government Act took effect on August 1, 1774. Citizens around the colony met and planned to actively resist the new officials. On August 16, when the Crown appointed officials arrived for the opening of the Courts in Berkshire County, 1,500 militia members showed up and forbade the court from opening. The same thing occurred in Springfield two weeks later.
British Governor and General William Howe was determined that the next scheduled Court would open at Worcester on September 6. He even wrote to his superiors in London that force may be necessary. On September 2, 4,000 patriots forced the Lieutenant Governor to resign in Cambridge and when a rumor spread that some patriots were killed by British soldiers, tens of thousands began to march to Boston. This incident, called the Powder Alarm, forced General Howe to reconsider his options.
On September 6, when the 25 royal officials arrived at Worcester, nearly 5,000 mostly unarmed civilians greeted them... in a town of 250 people. The militia had taken over the courthouse and the officials were escorted to a tavern where they were forced to resign their positions. The officials were then made to walk through the throng of protestors toward the courthouse, reciting their renouncements of their positions over and over along the way. General Gage’s troops were nowhere to be seen.
The Worcester Revolt typifies the real American Revolution. A similar revolt took place in every single county in Massachusetts outside of Boston in the fall of 1774. It was these revolts that truly ended British rule in the colony and opened the door for citizens to form their own governments.

Dick Cheney is an irrelevant RINO, along with his daughter, who lost by the largest margin in the History of Congressional Races! They couldn’t get Scooter Libby, who did so much for them (but was so unfairly treated!), PARDONED. I did it! He’s the King of Endless, Nonsensical Wars, wasting Lives and Trillions of Dollars, just like Comrade Kamala Harris. I am the Peace President, and only I will stop World War III! What Liz Cheney did with the Unselect Committee of Political Losers is unthinkable. She and her Unselects deleted and destroyed all evidence and information - IT’S GONE. Much of it proved that Nancy Pelosi was responsible for J6 - DIDN’T PROVIDE SECURITY. Cheney and the others should be prosecuted for what they did, but Comrade Kamala is even worse!
