Gunn, Ph.D. Past President, Patriot Graves Chair CCSAR On Sunday, November 12, 2017 in a small but solemn ceremony at Wesleyan Cemetery the 5th Surgeon General of the United States of America’s Gravesite was marked with a special granite stone. That marking is a Maltese Cross of four arms and eight points, the top three have the letters SAR and the bottom the date 1775; in the center is the center medallion bears the figure of a minuteman surrounded by 13 stars. This emblem is based on the badges of the Military Order of Saint Louis, founded by King Louis XIV in 1693 to honor faithful military service, and the Legion of Honor, founded by Napoleon in 1803 to reward civil and military service. The Emcee for the service was Col. Donald C. McGraw Jr., Retd., President of the Ohio Society of the Sons of the American Revolution; who introduced the ceremony as a three part event: 1 – To give honor this day on all those who served in the military of these United States of America to retain our Liberties and Freedoms gained by those Patriots of the Revolutionary War. 2 – To rededicate the Memorial to the 18 Revolutionary War Patriots honored on the Monument within the grounds of the Wesleyan Cemetery. 3 – To properly mark with the SAR Logo this Revolutionary War Patriot the grave of Patriot Richard Allison, a General of the Army of the USA. Colonel McGraw used these words: “We are here today to mark the grave of Surgeon General Richard Allison, rededicate the granite Memorial that honors the 18 Revolutionary Patriots also buried in these hallowed grounds, and bring Honor to all our Veterans who served this country. Richard Allison entered the army as a surgeon in 1777. During the American Revolutionary War he served as a surgeon’s mate in the Pennsylvania Line of the Continental Army. He was the senior American military physician in the Northwest Indian War, and became the surgeon general of General Anthony Wayne’s Legion when those troops were organized and defeated the Indians at the Battle of Fallen Timbers.” He was the fifth Surgeon General of the USA. (Continued on next page) 4| Page The Cincinnati Patriot December 2017 The ceremony continued after posting of the Colors by the Nolan Carson Memorial Color Guard led by Turner Lee Wilkerson, Color Guard Commander; the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the USA led by Michael Gunn of the Cincinnati Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution and Patriot Graves Chairman; the unveiling of the marker by Compatriot Gary Duffield; and dedication of the marker by Compatriot Gunn with these words: “We, the members of the Cincinnati Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution, dedicate this marked Memorial to the glory of God and in the recognition of the memory of these honorable Patriots of the American Revolution. Here we honor all those who have served these United States of America, risking their being to secure and safeguard our liberties and freedom.” The names of the 18 patriot soldiers on the Revolutionary War Memorial located near the entrance of Wesleyan Cemetery were read by Compatriot Larry Collins, followed by a bell for each that was rung by Compatriot Connor Smith. Emcee Don McGraw then announced the placing of four wreaths: for the Ohio SAR, Pres. Donald C. McGraw; for the Cincinnati SAR, John Bredenfoerder, President.; for the Germany Society, Thomas Hess ; for the Highlands Chapter SAR, Ken Carpenter, President. Finally, Emcee McGraw requested that Color Guard Commander Wilkerson lead a Three-volley Musket Salute. Compatriots George Stewart, Shaun Smith, Chuck Rogers and Bob Bowers comprised the Honor Guard. The ceremony concluded with a recessional, a benediction and a retiring of the Colors in place. A ceremony where no public dignitaries attended, but was a fine solemn service to all veterans of these United States of America and barely dampened by the rain.

Environmental Scan III. Competition Analysis IV. Strengths and Weaknesses V. Finances VI. Attachments Prepared by FLSSAR Ad Hoc Strategic Planning Committee John M. Stewart, Chairman Charles R. Butler, Ralph D. Nelson, Jr., Lee W. Matson, Co-Chairmen May 3, 2017 1 Research Paper I. Organization Description Data Sources: The Florida Society's Articles of Incorporation, Website, and its published documents. When the FLSSAR enrolled its first Compatriot in 1893, Grover Cleveland was President of the United States; Florida was only sixteen years beyond the departure of its last Reconstruction troops. Coal, horses, and waterwheels powered America, and the telegraph was high technology communication. Over its nearly thirteen decades of existence, the Florida Society has made various structural, policy and operational adjustments, but the essence of the organization has remained essentially unchanged: The FLSSAR is a lineage organization established to perpetuate, and commemorate the founding principles of our republic. The charter purposes of the FLSSAR are and always will be valid. Nevertheless, the processes and procedures of its programs, operations and initiatives must be assessed periodically, and modernized to accommodate changing times. GROVER CLEVELAND The objects of the Sons of the American Revolution are declared to be patriotic, historical, and educational. Our goals are to inspire the American community at large with a profound reverence of true patriotism and to maintain and extend the institution of American Freedom. We endeavor to do this in a variety of ways through youth programs such as: elementary school American history contests, Eagle Scout recognitions, awards, and essay contests, JROTC awards, and youth scholarships and service awards.

  • 'Deprived of Their Liberty'
    'DEPRIVED OF THEIR LIBERTY': ENEMY PRISONERS AND THE CULTURE OF WAR IN REVOLUTIONARY AMERICA, 1775-1783 by Trenton Cole Jones A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland June, 2014 © 2014 Trenton Cole Jones All Rights Reserved Abstract Deprived of Their Liberty explores Americans' changing conceptions of legitimate wartime violence by analyzing how the revolutionaries treated their captured enemies, and by asking what their treatment can tell us about the American Revolution more broadly. I suggest that at the commencement of conflict, the revolutionary leadership sought to contain the violence of war according to the prevailing customs of warfare in Europe. These rules of war—or to phrase it differently, the cultural norms of war— emphasized restricting the violence of war to the battlefield and treating enemy prisoners humanely. Only six years later, however, captured British soldiers and seamen, as well as civilian loyalists, languished on board noisome prison ships in Massachusetts and New York, in the lead mines of Connecticut, the jails of Pennsylvania, and the camps of Virginia and Maryland, where they were deprived of their liberty and often their lives by the very government purporting to defend those inalienable rights. My dissertation explores this curious, and heretofore largely unrecognized, transformation in the revolutionaries' conduct of war by looking at the experience of captivity in American hands. Throughout the dissertation, I suggest three principal factors to account for the escalation of violence during the war. From the onset of hostilities, the revolutionaries encountered an obstinate enemy that denied them the status of legitimate combatants, labeling them as rebels and traitors.
