This is Memorial Day 2011 and I hope that everyone takes a moment to pray for those who have died or fought for the freedom we have today. I will be with the Shriner “Genies” at the Wood Dale Memorial Day parade this morning and after that if I make it I will be performing with the Baker Methodist Men’s Choir in St. Charles in a tribute to all of the armed forces.

Dear Jeff,

Three times now President Obama has called for Israel to retreat to its 1967 borders, despite the fatal security implications that would pose to the Jewish state. As Prime Minister Netanyahu noted in his speech before Congress, those borders are indefensible. But it's even more ironic that these proposals, which would also require dividing the Holy City and taking much of it away from the Chosen People, are being made just as Israel prepares for Jerusalem Day.

Next Wednesday is Jerusalem Day, the day Israel celebrates the anniversary of the liberation and reunification of the ancient City of David. During the 1967 Six Days War, brave Israeli paratroopers, though hugely outnumbered, fought their way to the top of the Temple Mount. I've met many of these courageous warriors in person, and I'll never forget the stories they told of that wonderful day.

The Holy City is forever and eternally the property of the nation of Israel. It is an historical fact. It is a Biblical promise. Jerusalem is the only city on earth where God has set His name...and the only city that comes with a curse upon all nations who rise up against it. If we allow the Obama Administration to curse Jerusalem in our name, our nation will fall under a terrible curse.



Barukh..ha -mevarekh et ammo Yisrael ba-shalom Blessed be He who blesses His people with Peace.

Your ambassador to Jerusalem,

Dr. Michael Evans





This Day…

May 30, 70: During the Siege of Jerusalem, Titus and his Roman legions breach the Second Wall of Jerusalem. The Jewish defenders retreat to the First Wall. The Romans build a circumvallation, cutting down all trees within fifteen kilometres.[1]

May 30: 1096: In one of the few instances of individual courage, the local Bishop of Cologne and some of the local Burghers offered the Jews protection in their own houses. The Bishop later escorted them to towns under his protection. Crusaders reached Cologne and found the gate to the city closed by order of the bishop. Of all the Jewish communities in the path of the Crusaders, Cologne's Jews were the only ones to escape total destruction.[2]



May 30, 1252: Saint Ferdinand III, the King of Castile and King of Galicia and Leon passed away. The King must have been both courageous and practical. He stood up to the powerful Catholic Church when refused the Pope’s demand that Jews be forced to wear special badge and clothing. He was afraid that the requirement would force the Jews to leave for Muslim Granada which would have had a disastrous effect on revenue collections for his kingdom.[3]





May 30, 1382

• The Synod instructed every diocese to publish the verdict. Wheatcliff became ill and was paralized by a stroke. Two years later he died. Wheetcliff’s death did not mean an end to the movement, but Lolards were in constant risk of their lives.[4]



May 30, 1574: Henry III becomes King of France on the death of his brother, Charles IX. Henry had been serving as the King of Poland at the time of his brother’s death. He owed his selection as ruler Poland to a Jew named Solomon Ashkenazi who was an advisor to the Turkish Sultan.[5]



May 30: 1635: During what will be known as the Thirty Years War (it started in 1618 and ended in 1648) the Peace of Prague is signed marking the start of the end of hostilities. The war will finally end with the Peace of Westphalia. The war was between pitted Protestants against Catholics with Jews caught in the middle For example the Jews of Vienna suffered as a result of the occupation of the city by Imperial soldiers in 1624 when Emperor Ferdinand II confined the Jews to a ghetto. The fighting centered around Germany, Austria, France and the Netherlands and throughout many towns in Germany and Moravia, the Jewish population was expelled, which resulted in thousands of refugees fleeing to Cracow and other Polish cities. These Jews would get caught up in the uprisings that took place in Polish dominated Ukraine. The good news is that the end of the Thirty Years War would mark the rise of a flourishing Protestant Netherlands that would prove a home to European Jews.[6]



May 30, 1762: Anti-Jewish riots broke out in Emden, Prussia.[7]





May 30th, 1775

Early in the morning the women, went out to milk, guarded by most of the garrison; and before they were aware of impending danger, the concealed Indians opened a general fire, which killed three of the men, and drove the others, hastily within the fort.[8]



May 30, 1776



At the time of the outbreak of the American War of Independence Waldeck had nearly a century-old tradition of hiring mercenary troops. In contrast to the Kassel contract for troops, the Waldeck document contained a

paragraph establishing reimbursement of the ruler of Waldeck for every soldier killed or wounded in action. Lord Cambden, a speaker for the King's loyal opposition

alluded to this blood money in a debate in the House of Lords. "The whole is a mere mercenary bargain for the hire of troops on one side, and for the sale of human

blood on the other; and... the devoted wretches thus purchased for slaughter are mere mercenaries in the worst sense of the word." 1)



A decree of 1755 had ordered conscription procedures in Waldeck which allowed only university students exemption from service, but in 1776, the ruler of Waldeck attached

great importance to sending only volunteers to America. At the beginning of the War of Independence two Waldeck regiments were stationed in Holland. A part of the

officers and men transferred to the newly-formed Third English-Waldeck Mercenary Regiment. Nevertheless it was difficult to acquire recruits in the time allotted. Even the poor of Waldeck were not especially anxious to subject themselves to the American adventure. Therefore recruitment abroad, i.e., in other German territories, was required to hire the necessary troops. Instead of a bounty, recruits were offered a daily cash payment. The regiment arrived at the port of Bremerlehe in May 30, 1776 with a two-week delay. Therefore the Second Division could not set sail for America until June 2.[9]



Even as the Hessian riflemen were arriving in America, the British authorized the deployment of five riflemen to each company, arming them with short barreled rifles similar to those carried by the Jaegers. Additionally, one company of each regimen’s 10 was designated a “light company” of skirmishers and scouts, and these troops, too, oftren included riflemen. The British employed small numbers of riflmen in support of larger elements, rather than designating them to separate units.

There were exceptions, the most notable being the Corps of Riflemen led by Capt. Patrick Ferguson. A world-class marksman considered the finest rifle shot in the British Army, Ferguson also was the inventive genius who designed the world’s first breech-loaded military rifle, which could fire an astounding six aimed shots per minute. When he demonstrated his rifle for King George III in June 1776, not only did the enthusiastic monarch order it into production, but he authorized Ferguson to recruit his own 100 man Corps of Riflemen to be armed with the revolutionary gun. [10]

Unfortunately for Ferguson, his commander in America, Sir William Howe, did not take well to young upstarts with pet ideas. Howe publicly welcomed the new unit and its peculiar rifle, but he sought to dispose of both. [11]



May 30, 1778: Votaire was intiated into the Lodge Les Neuf Soeurs (Lodge of the Nine Muses) in Paris, on April 7, 1778, less than two monthys before his death on May 30th. He was very weak, and was assisted by two brothers, one of whom was Benjamin Franklin. Because of his frail health, he was exempted from the more rigorous tests experienced during the French rite of initiation. Voltaire was given a gift apron worn by the philosopher Claude Adrien Helvetius, one of the founders of the The lodge of the Nine Muses, who died in 1771.[12]



May 30, 1779

On May 3oth, the fleet sailed up the Hudson, and anchoring off the Phillips house, disembarked the troops for the expedition, making a force of 5,000 men — of which the German contingent included the Guards, the Grenadier battalion of v. Linsingen, and 400 Hessian and Rhenish Yãgers. The Prince Charles regiment had come with the fleet from the south. Although it counted 70 sail, large and small, and 140 flatboats, there was hardly standing room on deck.[13]





May 30, 1779

…I heard assembly blown in the Jager Corps. I hurried back as quickly as possible and found that Major Prueschenck, Captain Lorey, and I, each with one hundred men, were ordered to march immediately to Philipse’s wharf. There we found all the grenadiers of the army, the light infantry, the Legion, Ferguson’s Corps, four English regiments, and Robinson’s provincials. The flatboats were boarded at once, and these troops were all embarked on the transport ships of the Mathew Corps. Eight hundred men were thrown on each ship, whereby everybody was stacked in such an unpleasant position that no one could either sit or lie down. All the horses had been sent back. We had nothing with us but what we carried on our backs, not even a bite of bread.

At daybreak on the 31st this fleet, under Commodore Sir George Collier, set sail under escort of two 64-gun ships, three frigates, and four row galleys. Aided by the flood tide and a mild east wind, the fleet passed up the Hudson River and anchored about midday at Tellar’s Point, where all the troops disembarked under General Pattison except for three English regiments and one hundred jägers under Captain Lorey, which were put ashore at Stony Point across from Tellar’s Point.

The march of the main corps, under the Commander in Chief and Major Generals Vaughan and Kospoth, took place along the bank toward Verplanck’s Point. The Americans had constructed a fort there for the protection of this passage of the river, where a battery was cut in the rocks at Stony Point. Since the work on the right bank was open, it was abandoned at once by the enemy and occupied by General Pattison toward evening, but Fort Lafayette on Verplanck’s Point was a good defensive position and garrisoned with a Carolina battalion and six 12-pounders.

General Vaughan advanced at once against the fort with two hundred jàgers, Ferguson’s Corps, and the English grenadiers to assault all the approaches, and at the same time the row galleys drew close to the fort so that they could fire upon it. Firing began immediately between the galleys and the guns of the work. The enemy work was summoned at once, but the commandant refused to surrender and declared he would resist. The army encamped so that the enemy corps under General McDougall could not attempt a rescue.

The row galleys fired upon the fort until nightfall, for it was unap­proachable from the land side in front of heavy guns because of the inaccessible terrain. The jagers and Ferguson had to approach as close as possible on the land side in order to harass the garrison of the fort with rifle fire, but this could not help much since the whole fort was built of rocks and building stones.[14]





May 30 and 31, 1780

On the 30th and 31st the jãger detachment and the English and Hessian grenadiers were embarked on transport vessels in the Cooper River above the city. Today all the warships which were to protect the fleet sailed to Five Fathom Hole.[15]





May 30th, 1782



May 30th.—We march’d early this day steering N.West along this path called after Bouquet— A number of horses being lost—2 Companies were left on the ground.

A short distance from our encampment we saw a large Deer Lick, and 2 miles farther on we struck a path crossing ours in a rectangle almost. this is the strait path from Sandusky to Wheeling and crosses the Muskingham about 10 Miles from the upper Moray. Town.

“One of our pilots (Zaines) proposed striking this path in “a strait direction from the Mingoe Bottom—and the other “a path to the N.E. of us, about 8 miles from our first en­“camping ground, between the 8 forks of Yellow Creek.”

Here we left Bouquet’s road & followed this Warrior’s path running N.W. towards Mohickin John’s Town, where the fort Laurens road joins it.

two days before us a party of 60 Warriors had travelled along here towards our frontiers. Of 3 horse tracks, who had kept a-head of us from the Moray. Towns to observe our motions one had followed the Warriors and 2 kept before us on the Sandusky course.—The Woods were on fire at different places. At 11 o’clock we were joined by the remaining party & grossed immediately after a Bad Defile: marching down a rocky hill, at the foot of which we had to cross a Creek & immediately again to ascend a steep rocky hill covered by an open Wood. A place formed to obstruct numbers with a handfull of Men, particularly as the Hill on the north Side commands the other, on this side the Creek.

the Country in general is level, rich, well timbered and intersected by a great many runs, who are accompanied by excellent Bottoms.

In the evening we entered a Bottom several miles long, watered by different winding runs & terminated by Kill Buck’s Creek. We crossed it about Miles [sic] from Kill Buck’s former town & encamped along it at the upper end of the Bottom. the north Banks of this Water were so steep & miry that we were baffled in several places in our attenipts to get out of the Creek. the easiest ford is in a curve of the Creek to your Right hand as the common path leads, and then you are obliged to go a piece in the Water up the Creek.

I calculate this day’s march at near 20 miles. We passed several encampments of this party of Warriors going to our frontiers, who probably proceeded but slow, and detained hunting. It would have been necessary to have sent a runner back to apprize our frontiers of this impending danger. the letters were wrote & we could but get one Man willing to undertake carrying them; on condition, another one would accompany him. But as no other could be found, the matter fell through.[16]



X.— MOORE TO IRVINE.



IN Council,, PHILADELPHIA, ,May 30, 1782.

Sir:—Your favors of the 2d, 3d and 9th of the present month, with the representations made by Colonel Williamson[17] and Colonel Marshel,[18] have been read in council and shall be immediately laid before congress[19] as a matter of high importance to the reputation of this state, and to the generl interest and honor of the United States. We request that you will continue your inquiries on this subject and transmit us such information from time to time as may come to’your knowledge tending to elucidate this dark transaction.[20]



The proposed immigration appears to be a dangerous meas­ure; and if the circumstances which you mention respecting Mr. J— can be ascertained, he ought to be secured as a British emissary employed to inveigle away our citizens and place them in a situation whicli must compel them to put themselves under the protection of the British as the only means by which they can be secured from the ravages of the Indians. Such an event would afford a plausible story, which the British would seize with avidity and represent at every court in Europe as an instance of submission to them on the part of America; a story which might be extremely injurious to America, and such as no man who has a due regard to his country would give a countenance to by any act of his.

The recruiting service is of so much importance that we cannot forbear to inquire anxiously what success you have in it and to request you will transmit to us a return of the recruits you have obtained as early as possible.

As to the expedition you mentioned, we can only say, we confide in your zeal and prudence to direct the force which may be in your power in the most effectual manner for covering the frontiers.1A

…But to attend to your letters, in answer to which I say I do not recollect where I first saw Col. Oldham but am confident he did not belong to our (Capt. Stephensons) company but that Conway Oldham his brother did belong to it, viz. Capt. Hugh Stephensons firs company of riflemen, Stephenson was I think the oldes or first Capt in the revolution Daniel Morgan near the same time marched a company from Frederick County to Cambridge near by Boston, from thence he went to quebeck I think he departed from near Cambridge College about the first of July 1775. I remain’d in Stephensons company at Roxbury near Boston at the siege in sight of the enemy about nine months. Thence in the Spring 76 marched to New York Staten Island &c. I was intimately acquainted with Colonel Wm. Oldham on St. Clairs campaign but was not with him when he fell.[22]

[8] Those who went out early in the morning to milk the cows, were Mrs. Ann Logan, Mrs. Whitley, and a negro woman. They were guarded only by William Hudson, Burr Harrison, John Kennedy, and James Craig. The women and Craig escaped into the fort unharmed; Kennedy, with four balls in his bodey, contrived alto to escape; Hudson was killed outright, and Harrison fell wounded. He was supposed by friend and foe to have been killed. The story of his final rescue by Logan, is related by Withers below. As told to Dr. Draper, by Capt. Benjamin Biggs, and as recorded in Whitleys MS. Narrative, in possession of the Wisconsin Historical Society, the story in Withers in substantially correct. It is said that Logan rolled a bag of wool before him, and thus approached Harrison under cover; then making a rush towards the latter, he picked him up in his arms and dashed successfully into the fort. These accounts make no mention of Martin’s intervention. Harrison died of his wounds, June 13.

[25] “We were called bushwhackers, as a term of reproach, simply because our attacks were generally surprises, and we had to make up by celerity for lack of numbers. Now I never resented the epithet of “bushwacker” although there was no soldier to whom it applied less, because bushwhacking is a legitimate form of war, and it is just as fair and equally heroic to fire at an enemy from behind a bush as a breastwork or from the casemate of a fort.” Memoirs of Colonel John S. Mosby (1887).

[26] The Twenty-fourth Iowa had a skirmish with the enemy while engaged in a reconnoitering expedition from Morganza, in which Captain B. G Paul, of Company K, was killed, and four enlisted men were wounded. The losses of the regiment while connected with the troops commanded by General Banks had reached the aggregate number of 48, and the results accomplished, during that period of its service, were not only not commensurate with the loss, but the officers and men of the regiment were fully justified in the opinion that the sacrifice had been in vain, and they were rejoiced to know that a change for the better was in prospect.
