The material is largely derived from “The Star-Spangled Banner.” One need not attribute an excess of patriotic fervor in the composer as a source for this optimistic homage to our national anthem; Carolyn Bremer, a passionate baseball fan since childhood, drew upon her feelings of happy anticipation at hearing the anthem played before ball games when writing her piece.

  • September 2017 Issue No
    September 2017 Issue No. 257 Running After A Rocky Mountain Pie By Amy Stephens When our family decided to chase after a Rocky Mountain high this summer -- a mountain vacation to escape the Oklahoma heat and humidity -- I immediately set out to find a Colorado race in which we could participate. Our family was ecstatic to return to Breckenridge, where we’d vacationed two years earlier and had a lovely time. For weeks afterward, our then three year-old son joyfully sang, “Rocky Mountain Pie, Colorado” -- his own version of the John Denver tune. Now, if you’ve visited Colorado in recent years, you know there are ample, perhaps less strenuous, opportunities to pursue a Rocky Mountain high. But the idea of achieving a runner’s high in a majestic setting, even if the high was partly due to oxygen deprivation, Amy & Chris Stephens sounded groovy enough to me. After my husband and I registered for the I referenced a Runners World article I’d read Breckenridge Hunky Dory Half Marathon and 10K, many months earlier, which espoused the merits of I began to doubt how well we were equipped to run heat training to foster “heat adaptation.” The article in the mountains.

The objective was a sweep of the North Vietnam- ese Army (NVA)-dominated A Shau Valley by the 9th Marine Regiment reinforced by elements of the 3rd Marine Regiment to interdict the flow of supplies from the Ho Chi Minh Trail into the area. As the 9th Marines moved towards the A Shau valley, they established numerous firebases along the way which would provide them their ar- tillery support once they entered the valley and guard their MSR (Main Supply Route.) All of these bases needed to be resupplied by helicop- ter because of their distance from the main com- bat bases and because resupply via ground was very difficult during monsoon season. The Marines encountered stiff resistance through- out the conduct of the operation, most of which was fought under triple canopy jungle and within range of NVA artillery based in Laos. Marine cas- ualties were 130 KIAs & 932 WIAs. The Marines killed 1,617 NVA troops and captured over 500 tons of arms and munitions while denying the val- ley as an NVA staging area for the duration of the operation.
