The plan to extend shopping discounts to most American veterans has two purposes. One is to reward them for their service with product savings that, on average, should be 20 percent over commercial department stores, when military exemption from state and local sales tax part of the discount. The other goal is to increase exchange revenues to offset worrisome declines recently due to the sharp drawdown in active duty forces, base closures particularly overseas, elimination of on-base tobacco product discounts and reduced margins from selling cheaper gasoline on base. Whether exchange products are sold in base stores or through online portals, the military relies on the revenue to fund its morale, welfare and recreational activities. Given the defense budget squeeze since passage of the 2011 Budget Control Act, with its sequestration mechanism, some services have had to use exchange “dividends” for needs beyond golf courses and movie theaters. The Army has used exchange earnings of late to pay for new daycare Page 4 of 112 centers, a need it used to solve with appropriated dollars. Deputy Defense Secretary

Through the windows-through doors-burst like a ruthless force, Into the solemn church, and scatter the congregation, Into the school where the scholar is studying; Leave not the bridegroom quiet-no happiness must he have now with his bride, Nor the peaceful farmer any peace, ploughing his field or gathering his grain, So fierce you whirr and pound you drums-so shrill you bugles blow. -Walt Whitman 1 Introduction Like a monstrous storm full of destructive energy gathered offshore, the Civil War broke down upon Mount Desert Island suddenly and with great force, a giant wave that breached the shoreline and covered the landscape to its highest point, taking up young men in its torrent, and delivering them by different currents to their fates. The winds of war blew hardest in their third year, in the spring of 1864, when all who could be enlisted were fully exposed to the sustained violence of the Overland Campaign, an unrelenting surge of military power intended to finally bring the war to an end. When the war started in the spring of 1861, Augustus Chase Savage was twenty-nine, James M. Parker was twenty, and Thaddeus S. Somes was twenty-two. They were among scores of youths from the Town of Mount Desert who suddenly became valuable commodities for an army hungry for soldiers to fill its ranks. They were enticed with enlistment bonuses and the promise of steady pay, patriotic appeals and the lure of adventure, or at the very least, a change of scene.

As the armies of the Union and Confederacy marched and clashed, many individuals, from soldiers to officers to politicians, gained renown for their actions and the parts that they played in the war. These people, as well as the armies, battles, and campaigns, have been the focus of countless historical studies in the century and a half since the Civil War ended. However, there is one aspect of the struggle that has been largely underappreciated by both scholars and the general public.
