  • Mayors Support 30X30
    Mayors Support 30x30 Protecting 30% of America’s Land and Ocean by 2030 I, Mayor ________ of __________, support local, state, and federal action to confront America’s nature crisis by pursuing a goal of conserving at least 30 percent of our nation’s lands and ocean by 2030. Nature is indispensable to the health and prosperity of every community in America. We depend on our forests and streams for clean drinking water and clean air. Our lands are a place of cultural, ecological, and sacred resources that have sustained humanity for generations. Our ocean supplies wild fish that feed our country and provide endless wonder and enjoyment. Our rivers, mountains, and deserts are where families unplug and reconnect. Our parks, open spaces, beaches, trails, and public lands enrich communities’ quality of life and power America’s outdoor recreation economy. Our very existence depends upon the survival of a rich diversity of natural life. Achieving 30x30 will require an ambitious and inclusive movement that engages local, state, national and Tribal leaders, as well as private landowners, as part of the solution. Efforts to conserve, protect, and restore our natural world will be guided by science, protect private property rights, honor Tribal sovereignty, and engage local communities to ensure that the benefits of nature are equitably shaped and shared by all. Positive, bipartisan, community-driven conservation efforts are already happening in our community. I pledge to continue to pull stakeholders together—recognizing this goal will take action at the neighborhood, community, state, and national level. Together, we can and must protect nature for generations to come.

DESCRIPTORS Classroom Techniques; *History Instruction; Instructional Effectiveness; Learning Activities; *Primary Sources; Secondary Education; *United States History; *World History IDENTIFIERS *Analytical Reasoning; *National Archives and Records Administration; National Civics and Government Standards; National History Standards ABSTRACT This collection of primary source materials from the National Archives and Records Administration (Washington, DC) humanizes history so that it is real and personal to students. Intended for secondary school history teachers, the collection provides primary source documents, reports, maps, photographs, letters, diaries, posters, and recordings created by those who participated in or witnessed the events of the past. This teaching method exposes students to important historical concepts. Through analysis of primary sources, students confront two essential facts of historical work:(1) the record of historical events reflects the personal, social, political, or economic views of the participants who created the sources; and (2) students bring to the study of the sources their own biases, created by their own personal situations and their social living environments. A benefit of using the primary sources collection is the development of broad cogniti,ve and analytical skills. This second volume of the collection compiles 43 articles.

  • President Donald J. Trump the White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, D.C
    President Donald J. Trump The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. President: As elected officials, we write today to express our strong support for resettling refugees in our states and communities and urge you to resettle at least 75,000 refugees in Fiscal Year 2019. We hope that you will take into consideration the voices of state and local communities as we join together in support of this life-saving program and express their desire to help protect refugees in need. Every day, 44,000 people are displaced from their homes because of violence, persecution, or war. The United Nations Refugee Agency reports that over 68.5 million people are forcibly displaced worldwide, 25.4 million of whom are registered as refugees. More than half of those registered are children. Despite this ongoing crisis, last year the United States set its lowest ever resettlement goal of 45,000 refugees, and to date, has only resettled 18,214 refugees this fiscal year. This is one of the lowest numbers of refugees the U.S. has resettled in the history of the program, at the time of the greatest need. We can do so much more. The United States of America is a nation founded and built by immigrants and refugees. It is that history that makes our collective states and communities strong; it is our deep respect for hard work, our shared commitment to the country we call home, and our belief that America is a beacon of hope, that unites us. We have heard our constituents express their support for resettling refugees in our communities.

The Order is dedicated to: insuring that America will always be preeminent in air and space—the encourage- ment of flight safety—fostering an esprit de corps in the military air forces—promoting the adoption of military service as a career—and aiding deserving young individuals in specialized higher education through the establishment of scholarships. THE DAEDALIAN FOUNDATION was incorporated in 1959 as a non-profit organization to carry on activities in furtherance of the ideals and purposes of the Order. The Foundation publishes the Daedalus Flyer and sponsors the Daedalian Scholarship Program. The Foundation is a GuideStar Exchange member. The Scholarship Program recognizes scholars who indicate a desire to become military pilots and pursue a career in the military. Other scholarships are presented to younger individuals interested in aviation but not enrolled in college.

  • On Shifting Ground: the Women Airforce Service Pilots
    ON SHIFTING GROUND: THE WOMEN AIRFORCE SERVICE PILOTS OF WWII - PUBLIC IMAGES, PRIVATE REALITIES, AND THE BURDENS OF LASTING PROGRESS _______________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of San Diego State University _______________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Women’s Studies _______________ by Kimberly Ann Enderle Summer 2018 iii Copyright © 2018 by Kimberly Ann Enderle All Rights Reserved iv DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to the 1,102 Women Airforce Service Pilots of World War II, who demonstrated unselfish passion, resiliency, courage, and commitment while accomplishing something no women had been allowed to do before – fly U.S. military aircraft. This thesis celebrates these courageous female aviators who volunteered to serve their nation during World War II, and to risk it all: their lives, their personal and professional reputations, simply for the opportunity to become the United States’ first women military aviators. This thesis is specifically dedicated to the five women that opened their hearts and their homes to me, who willingly shared their intimate life stories with me, and trusted me to tell their unvarnished stories: Beverly Loyola (Beesie) Beesemyer, Florence “Shutsy” Reynolds, Barbara (Bobbi) Willis Heinrich, Millicent (Millie) Amanda Peterson Young and Jean Landis. Without their generosity, patience, and kindness none of this would have been possible. In the 1940s these women bravely challenged prevailing notion that women were second class citizens, informed by patriarchy and were ultimately deemed “unnecessary and undesirable” by Congressman Robert C.W. Ramspeck (D-GA) who sought to discredit them. Some in society labeled them unfeminine, promiscuous, perverse or immoral, and some defied heterosexual norms simply because they chose to pursue their love of flight which was perceived to transgress gender roles and eschew societal norms.
