Governor Jay Inslee #MedalOfHonorDay Proclamation for March 25, 2019

WHEREAS, throughout our country's history, courageous men and women of the Evergreen State have answered the call to protect and defend justice, liberty, and the freedom we hold so precious; and

WHEREAS, rising above the call of duty at the risk of grave injury and loss of life, a celebrated few of these fearless service members distinguished themselves as heroes in the eyes of their comrades through their bravery and self- sacrifice; and

WHEREAS, in 1862, the United States Congress established the Medal of Honor as the highest award to be given to members of our country's military forces in recognition of their incredible valor during armed conflict; and

WHEREAS, Washington honors the 46 Medal of Honor recipients from Hazard Stevens during the Civil War to the War on Terror; and

WHEREAS, on January 12, 2019 Joe Jackson, an Air Force Lieutenant Colonel who received the Medal of Honor for his heroism during an attempted rescue of a 3-man USAF Combat Control Team from the special forces camp at Kham Duc, died at his home in Washington state at the age of 95; and

WHEREAS, in 1990, Congress designated March 25 annually as National Medal of Honor Day;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Jay Inslee, Governor of the Great State of Washington, do hereby proclaim March 25, 2019 as

WHEREAS, 1,123 members of the United States Armed Forces from Washington State were killed or declared missing in action in Vietnam, and hundreds were wounded; and

WHEREAS, more than 190,033 Vietnam-era veterans live in Washington State and our Nation stands stronger for their service, and

WHEREAS, the people of Washington realize that one of our most fundamental obligations is to show respect and dignity to all who have worn the uniform of the United States, and to honor their sacrifice by serving them as well as they served us; and

WHEREAS, Washington State passed legislation in 2013 proclaiming March 30 of each year as Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day in our state;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Jay Inslee, Governor of the state of Washington, do hereby proclaim March 30, 2019, as

#WelcomeHomeVietnamVeterans Day

Toledo’s own Ethan Siegel penned: This Is What's Special About A Full Supermoon Occurring On The Equinox This Year ​
Picture
Caption: The word Supermoon came into popular use in 2011, where three Supermoons in a row graced the night sky. Shown here is the central one from that year, observed over Munich, Germany. Supermoons are brighter and closer than any other full Moons experienced on Earth, corresponding to lunar perigee coinciding with the full phase. But during the equinox, something even more special occurs: a chance to measure the Earth's axial tilt and the Moon's orbital tilt as it revolves around the Earth.KAI SCHREIBER / FLICKR


“You may remember that two months ago, in January, we received a total lunar eclipse: where the Sun, Earth, and full Moon were perfectly aligned. Now that it’s two months later, the full Moon is misaligned, because the plane that the Moon orbits the Earth in is tilted with respect to the Sun.

This is incredible for science! On any old equinox, you can measure your latitude on Earth; on any solstice, you can measure the axial tilt of the Earth. Well, on an equinox that coincides with a full Moon, you can measure how far out of the Sun-Earth plane the Moon actually is at this particular moment in time. And if you know when the last eclipse was and the next eclipse will be, you can actually determine the tilt of the Moon’s orbit. Here’s how.”

If you had a perfectly vertical stick on the day of the equinox, by measuring the shadow it casts when the Sun reaches its highest point above the horizon, you can measure your latitude. Yet that very night, when we have a full Moon, measuring the same shadow on the same object will give you a very different answer, by a little more than 4 degrees. The reason is because the Moon’s orbit is tilted with respect to the Earth-Sun plane.

This is brilliant! Make that measurement yourself, and you can calculate the Moon’s orbital tilt for yourself. Here’s how.

It took 2 years to write with over 2 dozen supportive experts peer reviewing and suggesting areas for me to study deeper. Everyone deserves to know how to live regeneratively on this planet - it's a human right, so I share this book: it's that important. I hope you enjoy it and, more importantly, I hope you put it into ACTION!!
We can heal ourselves, heal our world, and heal our confused cultures. See what's possible: http://www.thepermaculturestudent.com/download-ps2-free

Toledo Girls Softball Association announced: Good Morning Softball Peeps,

We are just days away from our first work party (March 23, 2019). I've been calling it our 'facelift' work party. Lots of areas to get cleaned up and looking fresh again. A list of things you can bring to help out: a pair of gloves for yourself, weed eaters, pressure washers, hoses, rakes, shovels, wheelbarrow. We will be getting started at 9:00AM for the work party. I know we plan on being there for some of the day and if you can't be there at 9:00AM you are more than welcome to swing in when your available.

Also this is our Lady Diamonds HS camp day. Any youth age girls are welcome to signup for camp. You can print the form and bring it with you Saturday at the appropriate registration time.

Thank you,
