2024 Dedication Day Ceremony

0


Annual Dedication Day ceremony on November 19th at Gettysburg National Cemetery. The program features a wreath-laying, music, and a U.S. Naturalization and Citizenship ceremony.
This year’s keynote speaker will be Dr. Craig Symonds.
Craig L. Symonds is Professor Emeritus at the United States Naval Academy where he taught naval history and Civil War History for thirty years.
A native of Anaheim, California, Symonds earned his B.A. degree at U.C.L.A., and his Masters and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Florida where he studied under the late John K. Mahon. In the 1970s he was a U.S. Navy officer and the first ensign ever to lecture at the prestigious Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island. After his naval service, Symonds remained at the War College as a civilian Professor of Strategy from 1974-1975.
He came to the Naval Academy in 1976, and during his thirty-year career there he became a very popular professor whose Civil War classes were always over-subscribed. He was named teacher of the Year in 1988, and the Researcher of the Year in 1998, the first person ever to win both awards. He chaired the History Department from 1988 to 1992. He also chaired the Naval Academy Self Study for institutional accreditation, the Curriculum Reform Committee, and served on the Naval Academy Admissions Board. In addition to the Meritorious Civilian Service Medal, he was awarded the Civilian Meritorious Service Medal three times. From 1994 to 1995 he served as Professor of Strategy and Policy at the Britannia Naval College in Dartmouth, England.
Symonds is the author of twelve books and the editor of nine others. In addition he has written over one hundred scholarly articles in professional journals and popular magazines as well as more than twenty book chapters in historical anthologies. Five of his books were selections of the Book-of-the-Month Club, and six have been selections of the History Book Club. His books have won the Barondess Lincoln Prize, the Daniel and Marilyn Laney Prize, the S.A. Cunningham Award, the Theodore and Franklin D. Roosevelt Prize, and the John Lyman book Prize three times. In 2009 he shared the $50,000 Lincoln Prize with James M. McPherson. He also won the “Annie” Award in Literary Arts given by Anne Arundel County, Maryland.
Symonds was a Trustee of the Society of Military History, and serves on the Executive Committee of the Lincoln Forum, and the board of Directors of the Admiral Nimitz Foundation. He was a member of the Lincoln Prize Committee and chaired the Jefferson Davis Prize Committee. He is a member of the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Committee. From 2005 to 1007 he was Chief Historian of the USS Monitor Center at the Mariners’ Museum in Newport News, Virginia, helping oversee the opening and promotion of that exhibit.
Now retired, Symonds is much in demand around the country as a speaker on Civil War subjects. He has spoken at Civil War Round Tables in twenty-seven states and two foreign countries, given tours of battlefields and other historical sites, and helped conduct leadership workshops based on the life of Abraham Lincoln. Craig and his wife, Marylou, live in Annapolis, Maryland.
Award-winning Lincoln scholar, Harold Holzer will be presenting the Gettysburg Address. HAROLD HOLZER, winner of The 2015 Gilder-Lehrman Lincoln Prize, is one of the country’s leading authorities on Abraham Lincoln and the political culture of the Civil War era. A prolific writer and lecturer, and frequent guest on television, Holzer served for six years (2010–2016) as Chairman of The Lincoln Bicentennial Foundation. For the previous 10 years he co-chaired the U. S. Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission (ALBC), appointed by President Clinton. President Bush awarded Holzer the National Humanities Medal in 2008. And in 2013, Holzer wrote an essay on Lincoln for the official program at the re-inauguration of President Obama. He is now chairman of The Lincoln Forum.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Capital Region acquires York/Adams affiliate, changing name to Big Brothers Big Sisters of South-Central PA

BBBS at their York Office last night to announce the expansion and name change.
Harrisburg, PA – Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Capital Region (BBBSCR) is thrilled to announce a significant expansion of its service area, broadening its reach from 5 to 7 counties through the acquisition of the BBBS York & Adams Counties affiliate. To align with their new service region, BBBSCR is changing its name to Big Brothers Big Sisters of South-Central PA.

Amy Rote, President & CEO states, “We are now serving 7 out of 8 counties in the South-Central PA region. Our new name aims to enhance our visibility and strengthen our connection with the community.”

The nonprofit’s one-to-one mentoring programs are grounded in evidence-based practices that help young people develop the skills and confidence needed to navigate life’s challenges. By expanding into these new counties, Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of South-Central PA is poised to make an even greater impact on the lives of youth, helping them reach their full potential. The expansion is part of the organization’s commitment to ensure young people have access to the guidance, encouragement and positive role models that are vital for their development and success.

“We were asked by our neighboring York & Adams affiliate to assist with the growth of services and to introduce innovative programs that respond to the challenges and needs of our youth in these communities,” says Rote.

“The York office will continue to serve York & Adams counties, just as it has for over 40 years,” explains Rote. “Through this acquisition, we are broadening our footprint and increasing the effectiveness of our network to better serve the youth across South Central Pennsylvania. As we tell our friends, volunteers and partners, ‘we are Bigger Together!’” A ribbon cutting was held at the York office on Wednesday, October 23rd at their new address: 227 W. Market Street, Suite 104, York, PA 17401. “Our new office space is better suited for our growing team and expansion of our services,” says Marina Brown, Director of York & Adams Counties. “We’ve aligned our internal processes with our current programs, and we are preparing to bring established BBBS of South-Central PA programs to our communities and kids in York and Adams counties.” As part of this transition, BBBS of South-Central PA will be updating its logo, website, and marketing materials. These changes will be rolled out over the next few months.
“We are deeply grateful to Powder Mill Foundation, Warehime Foundation and Adams County Community Foundation, along with our partners, donors and supporters for making this expansion possible.” says Brown. United Way of Adams County, United Way of York County and York County Community Foundation continue to support the mission of Big Brothers Big Sisters and the organization’s programs in York and Adams counties. BBBS of South-Central PA is actively seeking additional volunteers, partners, and supporters to help sustain and enhance its expanded services. Interested individuals and organizations can learn more about getting involved by visiting CAPBIGS.ORG or on social media @bbbscapregion.

“We are excited about this new chapter and look forward to continuing our work with the same passion and dedication that has defined us for years,” adds Rote. “We invite everyone to join us in celebrating this new beginning and to stay connected with us as we continue to make a positive impact on the lives of over 1,000 young people each year.”
