April 21, 1898 was the start of the Spanish-American War.
It is the date that defines who and what a veteran in the United States means.
This is why this is such a significant day in Veterans' advocacy.
We can stop making veterans, especially with elective wars that accomplish nothing and make things worse.

November 25 marks New York’s Evacuation Day. What is Evacuation Day? I humbly cite to me:
New York’s Evacuation Day, not to be confused with Massachusetts’ Evacuation Day, is a former New York annual holiday that fell on November 25. It marked the organized November 25, 1783 British evacuation of New York City, which coincided with General George Washington leading American troops to Fort George to complete the transfer of power.
Nicholas A. Ferrell
Learn more in my 2023 article on Evacuation Day. If you happen to be into karaoke, you can impress your friends or colleagues with your rendition of an olden Evacuation Day song.

A brother once opined:
“The mountains are calling, and I must go.”But for me,
it is the people I most hoe.
They are thirsty.
And need some drink.And I —
half-full or half-empty,
depending on the day —still poor, I think.

Federal troops escorted nine brave Black students into Little Rock Central High School, enforcing desegregation.
🎓 A Sonnet for Integration:
They walked through walls of spit and shouted hate,
Their books held tight like shields against the storm.
Though fear and rage stood guard at every gate,
They carved a path to make the future form...#LittleRockNine #ThisDayInHistory #Desegregation #Poetry #CivilRights #EshuElegbara

📜 This Day in History – September 24, 1957
The Brooklyn Dodgers played their final game at Ebbets Field.Before they left, a man changed history on that diamond.
🎩 Ode to Jackie Robinson:
Jackie—number 42—
you bore the weight no one else knew.
You cracked the myth, exposed the lie.
You turned a diamond to sacred sky.#ThisDayInHistory #JackieRobinson #EbbetsField #BrooklynDodgers #BaseballPoetry #EshuElegbara

📜 This Day in History – September 24, 1906
Teddy Roosevelt designated Devils Tower as the first U.S. National Monument.
A big rock. A bold move. A love letter to the wild.You made Trudeau proud, Teddy—
with your jaw set firm, your laugh so heady.
But most of all, you made us see
the wild was worth its sanctity.The first of many marks you made—
a monument to what won’t fade.#ThisDayInHistory #TeddyRoosevelt #DevilsTower #PublicLands #NaturePoetry #EshuElegbara
