Hi, Victoria!
That "BIG BUMP" woke me up!!

Thanks for the music and your post on Ella Fitzgerald.
I remember her singing the Star Spangled Banner.
That high note at the end would break light bulbs!

Virginia Military Institute, founded in 1839, is the oldest state supported military college in the nation.

Its mission is to provide an undergraduate educational program of the highest quality within a military environment.

During the Civil War, on May 15, 1864, the VMI Corps of Cadets was engaged as a unit in a pitched battle at New Market, Virginia.
They won credit for helping turn the tide in favor of the Confederate forces there. In retaliation, on June 11, 1864 most of the Institute was shelled and burned by Union forces under the command of General David Hunter.

Stonewall Jackson was a professor at VMI for ten years prior to the Civil War.

Matthew Fontaine Maury, called the "Pathfinder of the Seas," taught physics and astronomy at VMI from 1868 to 1872.

General George C. Marshall, World War II Army Chief of Staff and author of the Marshall Plan, was a 1901 VMI graduate.

VMI's Cadet Barracks has been designated a National Historic Landmark.

Full dress parades on the 12-acre parade ground take place most Friday afternoons in the fall and spring when weather permits

For those who've shopped Potomac Mills and still haven't dropped, and need a break from so much history, three of my favorite places are Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Kings Dominion, and Water Country USA. Lots of fun, if you go when temperatures are cooler and crowds are small.
