    Arizona State ParksCamp Verde AZ (April 4, 2012) – Fort Verde State Historic Park will hold its annual “History of the Soldier” event April 14-15, 2012 in Camp Verde. The event offers visitors a living history timeline of military and civilian encampments up to the present day.

    Through “Living History” interpretations all military eras will be honored for the dedication, commitment and sacrifice of military men and women in the Armed Forces. Activities will include flag raising ceremonies, living history presentations and special memorial services as well as the drill calls, colors and retreat all performed as part of the event.

    Former marine and historian, Marshall Trimble, has offered to conduct a special presentation on Frontier Military Life at Fort Verde at 11AM Saturday. Trimble teaches history at Scottsdale Community College and has written more than 20 books about Arizona’s history. Trimble was recently named one of “Arizona’s Most Inspiring Leaders” by the Arizona Centennial Commission and is Arizona’s official historian. He was also inducted into the Arizona Music & Entertainment Hall of Fame and is well known as a singer, humorist and storyteller. Trimble’s newest book about Wyatt Earp is part of a series of books called “Wild West Heroes and Rogues.” In this series Trimble recounts the mystique surrounding the lives of the famous and not-so-famous western gunfighters.

    After Trimble’s presentation, Terrie Frankel will be conducting a USO presentation on her experiences during the Vietnam War amd the Arizona National Guard will be onsite and will share stories about service in Afghanistan and Iraq. Veterans from around the state are encouraged to attend this special event.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
