Happy 243rd Birthday United States Marine Corps

Happy 243rd Birthday United States Marine Corps 10 Nov. 1775 - 2018

For God and country, Semper Fi. I was asked this evening to share a bit of the distinguished history of the USMC and the 100th anniversary of World War I – especially the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Belleau Wood.

I was the keynote speaker at the 243rd Anniversary of the United States Marine Corps 1775-2018. Saturday, 10 November 2018, 1730-2130 (5:30-9:30 pm.) The 4th District of the Department of Maryland, Marine Corps League annual birthday ball at the American Legion Carroll Post 31, 2 Sycamore St., Westminster, MD  21157.

Much of my research into the history of the Marines dates back to the classes I took in the summer of 1972 in Quantico Virginia. I still prize my tattered, torn, and worn 1970 "Concise History of the Unites States Marine Corps 1775-1969," by Captain William D. Parker, USMCR.

For those of you who have served or are currently serving: thank you. Your dedication and service to our country is deeply appreciated. Indeed, that appreciation is the purpose of having a Marine Corps Ball – in addition to the not so minor detail of following Gen. John A. Lejeune's Nov. 1, 1921, Marine Corps Order No. 47 to have a yearly birthday celebration.

Any discussion of the 100th anniversary of the end of WWI must include the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Belleau Wood; which raged for nearly a month, June 1 through June 26, 1918. Many historians consider the battle of Belleau Wood to be the beginning of the end of WWI. The introduction of the Marines in the war effort had a direct impact on the successful conclusion of the hostilities.

The Marine nickname of 'devil dog' can be traced back to the Battle of Belleau Wood. The German officers referred to the Marines as the "Teufel Hunden," which is German for "Devil Dogs," in their field reports. Exhausted, outnumbered, and outgunned, the Marines refused to yield.

On November 11, 2018, we will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I. The United States entered the war on April 6, 1917. 

Approximately 62,000 Marylanders served, 2,000 died, including 31 from Carroll County. According to my friend and fellow historian, Judge Joe Getty, at the time of the war, Carroll County had a "population of only 34,000; 1,200 men and women served with the armed forces. Of those, 14 were killed in action or died of their wounds, twenty died of disease or accidents and two committed suicide."

These young men gave their lives and their future in two military operations that changed the world.

Happy Birthday Marines. For Corps and Country, Semper Fidelis.

Historical Society to throw Carroll County a birthday party


Sat. Jan. 16, 2016

By Heather Mongilio

Carroll County is turning 179, and the Historical Society of Carroll County is throwing it a birthday party.

The party is from 2-4 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 16, at the Grace Lutheran Church in Westminster. There will be a talk on one the county's founders, John Longwell, cupcakes and refreshments. The event is free.

The Historical Society throws the county a party every year as a way to raise awareness about Carroll's history, executive director Gainor Davis said.

"I think it's an amazing thing to have a county that's been around 179 years and continues to thrive," Davis said.

The event will start with a talk by former Westminster Mayor Kevin Dayhoff on Longwell, shortly after 2 p.m. The talk should last about 45 minutes, Davis said.

People are welcome to join at any time. Cake and punch will start around 3 p.m.

"It's basically a time for us to introduce people to a little bit of their history," Davis said.

Longwell founded The Carrolltonian, a newspaper that was crucial to the founding of the county. He lived at Emerald Mill mansion, which was recently bought by the historical society, she said.

The Historical Society recently moved into the mansion, holding its annual Winter Wine Warmer there last weekend. The society hopes to open an exhibit about Greek heritage in the county in Emerald Hill mansion in the spring, Davis said.




If you go:

What: Carroll County's 179th birthday party

When: 2-4 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 16

Where: Grace Lutheran Church, 21 Carroll St., Westminster, Md.

Cupcakes and beverages will follow a talk on Carroll founding father John Longwell.

Colonel John Klinehoff Longwell was a Carroll County founding father who lived from 1810 to 1896.

Colonel Longwell was a newspaper publisher. At the age of 23, Longwell established the Carrolltonian newspaper in 1833 and proceeded to play a leading role in the formation of Carroll County out of parts of Frederick and Baltimore Counties, in January 1837 - and took an active part in all of its affairs. He became widely known as a civic and financial leader in the county.

In 1842 he established a farm just outside of town, north of Westminster and began construction of a huge mansion home on his estate he called “Emerald Hill.” He was elected State Senator in 1850 and 1871; president of Baltimore and Reisterstown Turnpike in 1858; was a director of the Union National Bank and later served as the bank president 39 years from 1857 to 1896. He also served as a Carroll County Commissioner.

Longwell also helped establish the Westminster English and Mathematical Academy, the West End Academy and the Westminster Female Institute; and served as a board trustee for Western Maryland College.

Col. Longwell will be the topic of a presentation at the county’s annual birthday celebration at Grace Lutheran Church on Sat. Jan 16, 2016.

The short version of my remarks this morning at the Opening ceremonies for the 62nd St. John Catholic Church Christmas Bazaar


This is the short version of my remarks this morning at the Opening ceremonies for the 62nd St. John Catholic Church Christmas Bazaar December 5, 2015 at 8:00 am

By Baltimore Sun writer Kevin E. Dayhoff, the former mayor of Westminster from 2001-2005

This year the bazaar is open from 8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
43 Monroe Street, Westminster, MD 21157

Good morning. On behalf of Westminster’s past and present elected officials, I would like to welcome you to the 62nd consecutive St. John Christmas Bazaar.

For the past 12-years I have been a journalist at the Baltimore Sun writing mostly history. At my age I am greatly amused that many events that took place in my childhood are now studied as history by today’s school children.

I look forward to the Christmas bazaar every year. When I was very young, the bazaar was part of a family adventure during the Christmas season.

During my high school years from 1969 through 1971, I often attended Mass at St. John with a good friend. I recall when the last Mass was held on February 4, 1968 at the church building on Main Street in town.

Last year when my wife Caroline and I were enjoying lunch at the bazaar with Mary Mussari, I was pleased when John Bryan asked me to speak at this year’s opening. Mr. Bryan told me that recently the ceremony has been dedicated to our servicemen and women – - and that this year we are paying a special recognition to Vietnam Vets.

It was just a few short weeks ago that our community came together to observe Veterans Day. No community does it better than Carroll County.

I served stateside in the United States Marine Corps Reserve from 1971 to 1973. Although I was not deployed, it has remained a sobering event in my life to have stepped-up the plate, despite a high draft number, signed on the dotted line, and
volunteered to serve during the Vietnam War.

This year, schools set the example for all of Carroll County by commemorating Veterans Day with many thoughtful, and well-planned services and programs.

In recent years Veterans Day has turned more somber. In the past, much of the community came together to celebrate the end of World War One and World War Two, and the Korean War.

Much of the nation saw nothing to celebrate for decades after the end of the Vietnam War. The war had dragged-on for over 19 years - for what seemed an eternity.

After the United States ended its direct involvement in the war on August 15, 1973, veterans were treated with scorn by the American left that proudly heaped insult upon injury upon those who served during the war.

Thankfully, the current youngest generation has seen fit to honor its veterans that have served proudly in the first and second Gulf Wars – and they treat Vietnam veterans with great dignity and respect.

Over 2.7 million Americans served in the Vietnam War. The average age was 19. Of that number, 300,000 were wounded in action, and 75,000 were disabled.

It has been estimated that almost 5 million military personnel and civilians, from all sides, lost their life in the Vietnam War. Of the 58,200 names listed on the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington DC, 1,046 are Marylanders who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Although many Vietnam era vets still harbor a deep-seated resentment as to how we were treated, the manner in which we are treated by the youngest generation brings tears to our eyes and has gone a long way to heal the wounds of decades of being abused and ignored.

Today, we pay a special tribute to the eighteen fallen heroes from Carroll County, whose faces are etched in the black granite monument in the Vietnam Memorial Park on Willis Street that was dedicated on May 28, 1990.

We hold dear in our hearts the eighteen names: Ronald Kenny; Christopher Miller, Jr.; Carl Egolf; James Byers; Russell Amoss; Russell Milberry; Everett Justice, Jr.; Michael Kidd; John Feezer; Sherman Flanagan, Jr.; Muriel Groomes; Joseph Oreto; Frederick Magsamen; Franklin Underwood, Jr.; James Zumbrun; Joseph Blickenstaff, Jr.; David Steger; and Herbert Mulkey, Jr.

The faces of the eighteen names on the monument are frozen in time. Some we knew. Some we didn’t. But they were all someone’s son or father or brother or uncle – or a cherished childhood friend. Their faces have been silent for many years, but they all have a story to tell.

Today it is only right to recall the profound words from Ephesians, “Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil, and be armed with the power of the Spirit, so that we may continue to make the Gospel understandable to those of us, who after many years, still have unanswered questions…”

God Bless and Semper Fi to all our brothers and sisters in uniform that served and died to protect our freedoms - and cannot attend the bazaar. Thank you for having me speak with you today. It was an honor.

Remembering the fallen by Michel Elben Carroll County Times


Michel Elben Carroll County Times twitter.com/MichelElben


Proudly waving American flags, over 40 people walked half a mile from the St. Matthew United Church of Christ to the Pleasant Valley Cemetery Sunday afternoon to honor those killed in service to their country in observance of Memorial Day.

"We honor the people that have given the utmost to our country and kept America free," said Arthur Jenne, a retired Marine Corps officer from Pleasant Valley.

[…]

Kevin Dayhoff, who served in the Marine Corps Reserves, was the keynote speaker.

"It is our duty and responsibility as citizens, to remember these brave sons of Carroll County and never forget the men and women who know all too well the cost of our freedom, for their service to our country is the greatest gift of all," Dayhoff said.

Pleasant Valley Community Memorial Day observance on Sunday, May 24, 2015, at 2 o’clock at the Pleasant Valley Cemetery.


Pleasant Valley Community Memorial Day observance on Sunday, May 24, 2015, at 2 o’clock at the Pleasant Valley Cemetery.

On Sunday May 24, the Pleasant Valley community will once again ceremonially gather at St. Matthew’s United Church of Christ at 1427 Pleasant Valley Road at 1:45 in the afternoon for the annual Pleasant Valley Community Memorial Day service. The service is one of the many community gifts of living in Carroll County.

After gathering at the church, townsfolk, accompanied by the Wm. F. Myers and Sons Band will be escorted by the Pleasant Valley Community Fire Company for the half-mile walk to the Pleasant Valley Cemetery – where many members of my family are buried.

It is tradition that the walkers carry flowers and flags to place on the graves of the many veterans from the surrounding community that are buried in the cemetery.


This year’s speaker will be local historian, journalist and artist, Kevin E. Dayhoff, the former mayor of Westminster, 2001-2005
