Martinez Gives Eulogy at Forgotten Heroes Funeral for 22 Unclaimed Deceased Veterans Governor Susana Martinez delivered the Eulogy at a special Forgotten Heroes Funeral on November 9 at the Santa Fe National Cemetery for the cremated remains of twenty-two military veterans whose bodies, upon their deaths, were unclaimed by family members. The twenty-one men and one woman were given a formal military funeral in accordance with the Forgotten Heroes Burial Program, a collaborative effort between the state and all thirty-three counties in New Mexico to ensure that any honorably-discharged deceased veteran whose body goes unclaimed receives a military funeral at the Santa Fe National Cemetery—with the people of New Mexico legally recognized as the family of record. The Governor was joined by New Mexico Department of Veterans’ Services Secretary Jack Fox and New Mexico National Guard Deputy Adjutant General Ken Nava in paying tribute to whom she called “these true heroes, for their service and sacrifice for our country.” “It pains me that—although these men served with honor—no family members are present to bid them goodbye today. But we are all here, standing together as one big New Mexican family, to provide them with the “Final Salute” which they have earned,” said the Governor. “May their souls now finally and forever rest in peace.” General Nava read aloud the names of the following twenty-one veterans whose last known address was Bernalillo COUNTY: USA SP4 Johnie T.

WAR HEROES TOO: MILITARY MASCOTS OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR AND THEIR LEGACY A Thesis Presented to Massey University In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in History By Nigel Barry Allsopp 1 May 2020 Abstract As many historians write about the deeds and sacrifices of soldiers during the recent centenary celebrations of the First World War, it is important to also remember the contributions of soldiers of a different kind. During the First World War a menagerie of animals became honorary soldiers in all armies, including New Zealand and Australia. Whether for the sake of comfort, combat or ceremonial occasions many regiments adopted all types of species from the domestic canine to exotic primates. There has been a recent surge in academic acknowledgment of animals during warfare and their importance in our history. I am especially glad to have explored this topic on mascots which has left many doors open for further historical examination. Animals have always been a vital part of military campaigns, yet the role of the mascot, also known as soldiers’ pets, has often been overlooked in the historiography.1 I will create a brief hypothesis by exploring issues such as what purpose did mascots both official and unofficial serve? How many Australian and New Zealand units in the First World War had mascots? How were they selected? Finally, what legacy have they left? 1 There is a fine line between the understanding of a ‘Pet’ and a ‘Mascot’ which I will explain in this thesis.

I hope you are able to find some useful tips. Tami & I are not world travelers & some of you may have tons more experience than we do. We appreciate your input from experienced riders as we always like to learn what has worked for other people as well. I’ve traveled in a truck all over the USA & found that trying to drive 500 miles straight through can be accomplished but walking afterwards can the difficult part.
