Robert Zito Retirement of the Colors Artillery Brandy History of the Veteran Corps of Artillery, State of New York and the Military Society War of 1812 The Veteran Corps of Artillery of the State of New York was organized on November 25, 1790, exclusively by officers and soldiers of the War of the Revolution. The Military Society of the War of 1812 was instituted in the city of New York on January 3, 1826, as a Military Society exclusively by commissioned officers of that War, regular and volunteer. The Corps was approved as a separate and distinct organization in the ac- tive Militia of the State of New York by the Governor of the State on March 8, 1791 The Corps was confirmed in statutory and prescriptive rights and privileges as a separate Corps in the Active Militia, by Act of Congress on May 8 1792 (Sec. 1641, U.S. Revised Statutes), also January 21, 1903 (Sec. 3). The Corps volunteered and entered military service of the United States during the War of 1812. The Society of the War of 1812 and the Veteran Corps of Artillery were consolidated on January 8, 1848. The Society of the War of 1812 was incorporated as a Military Society un- der the laws of the State of New York on January 8, 1892, in conformity with the Joint Resolution of the Congress of the U.S. as to military socie- ties, approved September 25, 1890. It has been held that such societies are entitled under Section 14 of the General Corporation Law to acquire prop- erty by grant, devise, bequest, etc. Since that time the Military Society of the War of 1812 has provided, exclu- sively, the elected members of the Council of Administration, who act as the governing body of the combined Organization. Membership is applied for, and held separately, in the Military Society and the Veteran Corps of Artillery (VCA). In practice, the VCA functions as the operating arm of the combined organization; with many volunteer mili- tary and ceremonial events on the annual schedule. The VCA drill season begins the first week in October, and ends with the traditional Salute to the Nation at the Battery in New York City on the 4th of July.

Broadwater III, USA (Ret) UNITED STATES COAST GUARD HISTORY The United States Coast Guard is one of the oldest organizations of the federal government and, until the Navy Department was established in 1798, served as the nation's only armed force afloat. The modern Coast Guard is an amalgamation of five formerly federal services. It is the only military organization within the Department of Homeland Security. On 4 August 1790 the first Congress authorized the construction of ten vessels requested by Alexander Hamilton, Washington‘s Secretary of the Treasury, to enforce tariff and trade laws and to prevent smuggling. Due to his foresight, Hamilton is considered the ―Father of the Coast Guard‖. Known variously through the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as the Revenue Marine and the Revenue Cutter Service, it expanded in size and responsibilities as the nation grew. The service received its present name in 1915 under an act of Congress when the Revenue Cutter Service merged with the Life- Saving Service. The nation then had a single maritime service dedicated to saving life at sea and enforcing the nation's maritime laws. The Coast Guard began to maintain the country's aids to maritime navigation, including operating the nation's lighthouses, when President Franklin Roosevelt ordered the transfer of the Light- house Service to the Coast Guard in 1939. In 1946 Congress permanently transferred the Bureau of Marine Inspection and Navigation to the Coast Guard, thereby placing merchant marine licensing and merchant vessel safety under our purview. National defense responsibilities remain one of the Coast Guard‘s most important functions. In times of peace it operates as part of the Department of Homeland Security, serving as the nation's front-line agency for enforcing our laws at sea, protecting the marine environ- ment and our vast coastline and ports, and saving life. In times of war, or at the direction of the President, the Coast Guard serves under the Department of the Navy. REAR ADMINAL JOSEPH L. NIMMICH COMMANDER, FIRST COAST GUARD DISTRICT Rear Admiral Nimmich assumed the duties of Commander, First Coast Guard District in July 2009. He oversees all Coast Guard mis- sions across eight states in the Northeast and 2,000 miles of coastline from the U.S.-Canadian border to northern New Jersey. In fulfilling these responsibilities, Rear Admiral Nimmich commands more than 12,000 active duty, reserve, civilian and Auxiliary personnel, and em- ploys 30 cutters, 200 boats and 8 aircraft. Rear Admiral Nimmich graduated from the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in 1977, receiving a Bachelor of Science Degree in History and Government and a commission as Ensign in the Coast Guard. He has his Masters Degree in Business Administration from the Stern School of Business and attended Army War College in Carlisle, PA where he earned a Masters Degree in Strategic Studies. Rear Admiral Nimmich‘s previous flag assignments include Director, Joint Interagency Task Force South, Assistant Commandant for Poli- cy and Planning, United States Coast Guard Headquarters, and Director of the Maritime Domain Awareness Program Integration Office. Rear Admiral Nimmich was promoted to flag rank in July 2005. Rear Admiral Nimmich has served aboard the USCGC's WOOD- RUSH and MESQUITE and has commanded the Cutters POINT ESTERO, RED BEECH, and SORREL. Rear Admiral Nimmich has also served as Commander, Coast Guard Group Key West and has held various staff assignments in both Districts and Headquarters including the Office of Operational Law Enforcement, the Office of Budget and Planning and Policy, and Deputy Chief of Staff of the Coast Guard. Rear Admiral Nimmich‘s personal awards include a Defense Superior Service Medal, the Legion of Merit (with 3 Gold Stars), Meritorious Service Medal, the Coast Guard Commendation Medal (with three stars and operational ‗O‘ device), the Coast Guard Achievement Medal (with two stars and operational ‗O‘ device), the Commandant‘s Letter of Commendation (with star and operational ‗O‘ device) and the Department of Transportation 9-11 Medal.

California and United States v. Wurie discussed at pp. 6 and 16) “Modern cell phones are not just another technological convenience. With all they contain and all they may reveal, they hold for many Americans ‘the privacies of life.’ The fact that technology now allows an individual to carry such information in his hand does not make the information any less worthy of the protection for which the Founders fought. Our answer to the question of what police must do before searching a cell phone seized incident to an arrest is accordingly simple—get a warrant.” —Chief Justice Roberts in Riley v.

Moreover many of those rules are scattered throughout New York’s Penal Law, Criminal Procedure Law and other statutes, and are difficult to find without the aid of an organizational reference. The Practice of Criminal Law under the CPLR and Related Civil Procedure Statutes, Sixth Edition, written by Judge Edward Davidowitz, solves this problem. This book pulls together in an orderly, logical way the rules and provisions of law concerning jurisdiction, evidence, motion practice, contempt proceedings and article 78 and habeas corpus applications—none of which is covered in the CPL or the Penal Law.

  • National Genealogical Society
    The National Genealogical Society: A Look at Its First One Hundred Years By Shirley Langdon Wilcox, CG, FNGS 31 October 2003 The National Genealogical Society: A Look at Its First One Hundred Years By Shirley Langdon Wilcox, CG, FNGS 31 October 2003 In 1903 American interest in the country's past ran high. For several national hereditary organizations headquartered in Washington, D.C., patriotism was a centerpiece. Their officials included registrars and others whose interests also embraced genealogy, and membership required tracing family lineages. In April 1903 the monthly Historical Bulletin, which served as the official news organ for several of the groups (see figure 1) published a call for the formation of a genealogical society. Dr. Albert C. Peale, registrar of the Society of Colonial Wars and assistant registrar of the National Society Sons of the American Revolution, had suggested “the formation of a local genealogical society” [emphasis added];1 the Bulletin’s publisher, Newton Leon Collamer, announced an organizational meeting at his home in Washington, D.C., and suggested that “such an organization might eventually assume even a National scope.”2 On 24 April 1903, six individuals met to discuss a plan: Dr. Joseph G. B. Bulloch, Newton L. and Gertrude Collamer, Alfred Barbour Dent, Eugenia Washington Moncure, and Ruth M. Griswold Pealer. Shortly afterwards, an organizing committee mailed to genealogists throughout the United States a Prospectus for the American Genealogical Association.3 Its principal aims, as shown in figure 2 included • publishing records to benefit researchers at a distance; • ensuring access to records; • creating a “card index bureau” or “clearinghouse” to facilitate the exchange of information; and • establishing a library.

  • Sovereign Order of St John of Jerusalem
    SOVEREIGN ORDER OF SAINT JOHN OF JERUSALEM History and Lineage Charts Since 1797 Founded near Our Lord’s Holy Sepulcher c. 1050, the Brothers of the Hospital of Saint John is one of the oldest orders of the Catholic Church. The Order of St. John of Jerusalem was elevated to a monastic order in 1098 by which time it had developed into a military brotherhood known as the Hospitallers. The Brethren defended their Hospital and ensured the health and safety of pilgrims coming to the Kingdom of Jerusalem. The King of Jerusalem confirmed the Hospitallers as an international corporation in 1104. The Apostolic See became its perpetual Protector in 1113 by a Papal Bull of Paschal II. Renowned for skilled hospital care and prowess in battle, the Hospitaller Knights became indispensable defenders of Christendom and the Order was recognized as a sovereign state in 1191. The Order was forced by the Moslems from the Holy Land in 1291 and from Rhodes in 1523. The Convent of the Order was on the island of Malta, and its 70th Grand Master was Prince Ferdinand von Hompesch, when the humanist revolution was creating widespread change on the political map of Europe. The Knights of the Order used strategic foresight in gaining the Czar of Russia as a secondary Protector because in 1798 Malta was seized by General Napoleon Bonaparte. A large contingent of French Knights of Malta, who had accepted the precepts of the revolutionaries, joined Napoleon’s army. Most of the remainder rallied to St. Petersburg, Russia, which was the home of their new powerful Protector.
