  • Korean War Forgotten - No More
    MAY 27, 2019 KOREAN WAR FORGOTTEN - NO MORE MEN OF BURLINGTON COUNTY, NJ WHO WERE CASUALTIES IN THE 1 The Cover is of the Korean War Veterans Memorial (19 stainless steel statues). The statues were sculpted by Frank Gaylord of Barre, VT and cast by Tallix Foundries of Beacon, NY. They are approximately seven feet tall and represent an ethnic cross section of America. The advance party has 14 Army, 3 Marine, 1 Navy and 1 Air Force members. The statues stand in patches of Juniper bushes and are separated by polished granite strips, which give a semblance of order and symbolize the rice paddies of Korea. The troops wear ponchos covering their weapons and equipment. The ponchos seem to blow in the cold winds of Korea. NOTES This booklet was prepared on behalf of the Burlington County War Memorial Committee. It is interrelated to the Korean War Monument that was dedicated May 27, 2019. The men contained herein are those, from Burlington County, New Jersey, that are listed on the National Archives web site. https://www.archives.gov/files/research/military/korean-war/casualty-lists/nj-alpha.pdf The lists are based on the "home of record - state" data provided by the serviceman or woman upon last entrance into military service. "Home of record" does not necessarily refer to the place of birth, residence of next of kin, place of longest residence, nor other common uses of the term "hometown."

Scott Bolden, with whom were Gregory G. Katsas, Assistant Attorney General, John J. Fargo, Director, Commercial Litigation Branch, Civil Division, United States Department of Justice, Washington, D.C., and Eric F. Mulch, United States Postal Service, Of Counsel, for Defendant. OPINION AND ORDER WHEELER, Judge. This case arises from the decision of the United States Postal Service (“Postal Service”) to issue a 37-cent postage stamp commemorating the 50th anniversary of the armistice of the Korean War. This commemorative stamp (“the Stamp”) features a photograph of many of the 19 stainless steel soldier sculptures that are part of the Korean War Veterans Memorial (“KWVM”) located on the national mall in Washington, D.C. Plaintiff, Frank C. Gaylord II, an artist and World War II veteran, sculpted these 19 soldiers in formation, known as “The Column.” Mr. Gaylord filed suit in this Court on July 25, 2006, alleging that the Postal Service, by issuing a stamp that contains an image of “The Column,” infringed his exclusive copyright in the sculpture. Compl. ¶¶ 14-15. As damages, Mr. Gaylord seeks a royalty of ten percent on the Postal Service’s net sales of the commemorative stamp and related merchandise.

  • Remembering Anne Dallas Dudley in May of 1886, Dr. WE Ward
    Retired Housewife? Remembering Anne Dallas Dudley authored by: Michele O’Brien, Middle School Social Studies Teacher (February, 2020) In May of 1886, Dr. W. E. Ward addressed the audience of the twenty-first commencement ceremony at Ward Seminary for Young Ladies. The Second Industrial Revolution, with its rapidly advancing technology, increased social diversity, and economic mobility, was in full swing. In his The Coming Woman address, Ward noted that Ward’s Seminary for Girls on Spruce Street in Nashville. “Ward Seminary.” Iris, 1907. archive.org. Accessed 16 Dec. 2019. women needed to prepare for the challenges of this new world. The modern woman, he advised, ought to seek out substance in both her cultural and intellectual pursuits. She ought not “be a creature of mere fashion” or “rely on superficial knowledge.”i Like many southern gentlemen at the time, Ward cautioned against embracing modernity too wholeheartedly. “The coming woman” he warned, “ought not to seek to come to the political arena, where the rougher man contends, quarrels, and fights. She ought not, therefore, to want the ballot.”ii Dr. Ward died the following year, so he would have no idea how thoroughly that last bit of advice was disregarded by many former, current, and future Ward Seminary students. Notable among those burgeoning suffragists, and enrolled in Ward Seminary in 1886, was Annie Dallas. She was born to influence and fortune: the eldest daughter of Trevonian Barlow Dallas, a Ward Seminary Catalogue, 1887.

  • Frank GAYLORD V. UNITED STATES United States Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit
    Frank GAYLORD v. UNITED STATES United States Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit. 595 F.3d 1364 (2010) 7 Before NEWMAN, MAYER, and MOORE, Circuit Judges. 8 Opinion for the court filed by Circuit Judge MOORE. Dissenting opinion filed by Circuit Judge NEWMAN. 9 MOORE, Circuit Judge. 10 Mr. Frank Gaylord appeals the decision of the United States Court of Federal Claims that a stamp issued by the United States Postal Service made fair use of a copyrighted work, specifically, soldier sculptures in formation constituting part of the Korean War Veterans Memorial (Memorial). The court determined that Mr. Gaylord was the sole author of the soldier sculptures and that his sculptures were not exempt from copyright protection under the Architectural Works Copyright Protection Act (AWCPA). Because the court erred when it determined that the stamp made fair use of Mr. Gaylord's work, but it correctly determined that the government was not a joint author and that the AWCPA did not bar an infringement suit, we affirm-in-part, reverse-in-part, and remand for a determination of damages. BACKGROUND 12 This case arises from the Postal Service's decision to issue a 37-cent stamp depicting a portion of the Memorial. The path from the concept of the Memorial to the creation of the stamp spans more than 15 years. 13 In 1986, Congress enacted legislation to erect a memorial in Washington, D.C. to honor veterans of the Korean War. [...] The legislation authorized the American Battle Monuments Commission (Commission) to establish the Memorial, and the Commission sponsored a contest to select the designer of the Memorial.
