The memorial ceremony, hosted by the Hero Street Monument Committee, on Saturday, May 25, included a 21-gun salute. Rock Island Arsenal's Garrison Commander, Colonel Stephen C. Marr, laid a wreath and Patriot Guard Riders lined the walkway to the Hero Street Monument. "Let us not forget the families of the fallen for whom every day is Memorial Day," he said in his keynote speech. "Our Gold Star families live with the realities of sacrifice more so than any of us. They understand and they bear the true cost of freedom." The ceremony concluded with the playing of "Taps" by Moline high school student Madison Meldrum.

Dozens gathered Monday to remember and honor them all. After the Memorial Day ceremony, the crowd scattered. Some were on a mission, looking for the graves of friends or siblings. Others wandered less pointedly, encouraging their children to read aloud the names of strangers, to invoke the memories of those who might not be remembered otherwise. “We’re starting a family tradition,” Anthony Moreno of Davenport said as he walked down the rows with his sons Major, 10, and Landis, 6. “The day is getting too commercialized.” (More: https://qconline.com/news/local/i- never-wanted-to-see-his-name-on-a-tombstone/article_72201354-423c-5fbe-82a1- 4adfed3e00da.html) 'It's Our Job to Do It': 92-Year-Old Has Worked With Moline Honor Guard at More Than 5,000 Veterans' Funerals They stand, crisp, clean, eyes forward, never flinching; shirts white and pressed; American Legion ties neat and straight; ceremonial braids positioned atop their shoulders. On command, a three-volley salute sounds, ripping through the spring breeze and the rustling trees. Funeral- goers flinch. Taps, firm, powerful and elegant, rings out. The bugler is crisp and perfect in her play. A moment later, the American flag, draped honorably across the fallen's casket, is folded and presented with a message of honor and gratitude to the fallen's next of kin. Only the wind's rustle can be heard.

JMC Improvements Highlighted at AMC Forum JMC G-1 and Safety representatives Norbert Herrera, Jennifer Mehmert, and Mike Styvaert credited revised JMC policies and use of the Defense Health Agency (DHA) for JMC's Time-to-Hire rate of 74.65 days, which is one of the best in AMC. Representatives from AMC also praised JMC for making culture a larger focus through efforts like embedding cultural elements into the employee evaluation system (DPMAP), creating cultural role sheets, and incorporating cultural moments into staff meetings. This year's forum included representatives of twelve Major Subordinate Commands (MSCs). Its purpose was to build and sustain readiness through synchronization across the AMC G-1 and Safety staff. According to Herrera, such events, "provide valuable opportunities for JMC representatives to discuss issues and share best practices and strategic initiatives with other commands, optimize problem solving and receive policy guidance and budgetary updates from AMC."

Its managing editor, David Cotton, who goes by his middle name, Bruce, was selected for the Secretary of the Army's Editor of the Year Award, Command Publication category, for 2018. The year before, PS Magazine's supervisory editor, Jonathan Pierce, also won the same award and the magazine was also selected as the Army's Most Improved Publication of the Year. Pierce retired last year and was replaced by Dr. Robert Hill. This year's ceremony was held May 3 at the Pentagon. The period of consideration was July 2017 through June 2018 when PS Magazine was still part of the Logistics Support Activity (now the Logistics Data Analysis Center). PS Magazine is now assigned to the U.S. Army Sustainment Command, Redstone Arsenal Detachment, Alabama.

Jay Carr, executive director, ACC-RI, served on a panel of Rock Island Arsenal leaders who presented briefings on their commands the morning of May 22. Carr focused on the importance of collaboration between the government and industry. "Without our industry partners and requiring activities, there would be no reason for us to ever write a contract," said Carr. "We can't do what we do without you, so we clearly have a vested interest in letting you know what the requirements are, when they are coming forward, and give you all of the information that we can."

    The Annals of Volume 66, Numbers 3 & 4 Iowa Summer/Fall 2007 A QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF HISTORY In This Issue J. L. ANDERSON analyzes the letters written between Civil War soldiers and their farm wives on the home front. In those letters, absent husbands provided advice, but the wives became managers and diplomats who negotiated relationships with kin and neighbors to provision and shelter their families and to preserve their farms. J. L. Anderson is assistant professor of history and assistant director of the Center for Public History at the University of West Georgia. DAVID BRODNAX SR. provides the first detailed description of the role of Iowa’s African American regiment, the 60th United States Colored Infantry, in the American Civil War and in the struggle for black suffrage after the war. David Brodnax Sr. is associate professor of history at Trinity Christian College in Palos Heights, Illinois. TIMOTHY B. SMITH describes David B. Henderson’s role in securing legislation to preserve Civil War battlefields during the golden age of battlefield preservation in the 1890s. Timothy B. Smith, a veteran of the National Park Service, now teaches at the University of Tennessee at Martin. Front Cover Milton Howard (seated, left) was born in Muscatine County in 1845, kidnapped along with his family in 1852, and sold into slavery in the South. After escaping from his Alabama master during the Civil War, he made his way north and later fought for three years in the 60th U.S. Colored Infantry. For more on Iowa’s African American regiment in the Civil War, see David Brodnax Sr.’s article in this issue.

SOME FIFTY YEARS AGO Dudley Cornish’s groundbreak- ing book, The Sable Arm, called attention to the extent and im- portance of the African American military presence in the Civil War.1 But with the exception of the famous 54th Massachusetts Infantry, whose service was later dramatized in the film Glory, the nation’s individual African American regiments have not, as a rule, attracted much serious historical research. Iowa’s African American regiment, the First Iowa Volunteers (African Descent), later redesignated the 60th United States Colored In- fantry, has suffered from that general neglect. The first historian to take note of the regiment was Hubert Wubben, who recorded the existence of the “First Iowa African Infantry,” as he termed it, but little more. He wrote only that it was organized in 1863 and that it “saw no combat, but per- formed guard and garrison duty in St. Louis and in other parts of the lower Mississippi Valley.” This brief summation hardly did justice to the regiment’s experience, but at least Wubben provided a reference citing official records where materials for 1.

  • Moline Bikeways Plan
    MOLINE BIKEWAYS PLAN REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE MOLINE ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION TEAM (MATT) Mayor Don Welvaert Jeff Anderson Laura Duran John Knaack Donnie Miller Mike Crotty Rod Hawk Dean Mathias Dan Osterman Doug DeLille Scott Hinton Dan McNeil Kevin Schoonmaker March 2011 REPORT SUMMARY In June of 2010, Moline Mayor Don Welvaert appointed the Moline Alternative Transportation Team (MATT). This city and citizen group was charged with making recommendations related to improving bicycling and walking in the community. One of the first efforts identified by MATT was development of the Moline Bikeways Plan. This plan is intended to provide a blueprint for developing a system of connected bicycle routes throughout the city and adjoining cities to encourage bicycling as a means of enhancing the community quality of life, supporting development efforts, promoting healthful activity, and reducing the city’s carbon footprint. The Moline Alternative Transportation Team recommends the following: That Moline’s Bikeways Plan compliments and enhances Moline’s Comprehensive Plan; and That the Quad Cities Area “Complete Streets” Policy shall be the guiding philosophy of the bikeways plan; and That the bikeways system identified will ultimately place each and every resident and business within a half-mile of a bikeway; and That as the location of the Quad City International Airport, and the proposed passenger rail station Moline should provide bicycle access and amenities to these facilities for all QC residents and visitors; and That the city pursue Bicycle Friendly Community, Business, and University designations as awarded by the League of American Bicyclists; and That Moline’s Bikeways Plan shall be submitted for inclusion in 2040 Quad Cities Area Long Range Transportation Plan.
