Vets turn to VA for dental help By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
Vermont’s U.S. Rep. Peter Welch is a sponsor of the Stopping Bad Robocalls Act (H.R. 946) which would Amend the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) to ensure that the FCC has the authority and the tools to take strong, quick action when they track down robocallers.
RUTLAND | When Cold War-era U.S. Navy veteran Donald McColgan, a resident of Rutland County, turned to the Veterans Administration Hospital in White River Junction for help with an extreme dental problem, he learned that in-house veteran dental care is non-existent compared to Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities in other states. McColgan, a former naval avi-
ation crew member, has a painful nerve disorder possibly linked to several flight-related missions. “I’m a 100-percent disabled veteran. I am trying to get dental care help from the White River Junction VA,” McColgan said. “I guess it’s no surprise that the department there is dysfunctional. They don’t call you back and even the service providers say that... I’ve been working on this for the second year, to get proper treatment; it’s weird isn’t it? The VA is a cesspool of dysfunc-
tion from my perspective.” What makes the VA facility in White River Junction frustrating to McColgan is that the hospital, unlike most other VA hospitals in other states, farms out treatment plans to community dentists. “We actually don’t have dental care here on site,” Katherine Tang, public affairs officer at the VA in White River Junction, told True North. “We refer all of this (dental work) out to the community.”

Welch: stop robocalls From News Reports U.S. HOUSE NEWS
SOUTH BURLINGTON | At a Burlington airport news conference recently, Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) unveiled H.R. 946, new legislation moving through Congress, that will crack down on unwanted and often predatory robocalls. “Vermonters are fed up with intrusive robocalls that are annoying at best and predatory at worst,” said Welch. “The calls often originate from scam artists intent on ripping
off unsuspecting consumers, particularly seniors. Our bill gives the FCC the tools it needs to be the cop on the beat to go after these bad actors.” Robocalls have dramatically increased in Vermont and nationally. Welch said that in 2018, 47 billion robocalls were made in the United States, representing a 64 percent increase over 2016. Last month, more than 4 million robocalls were made in Vermont alone. In 2016, scams involving robocalls cost 22 million Americans a total of $9.5 billion. ■

HAYLA hails from Florida. She was one of the lucky cats to be transported to Vermont from Florida by Good Karma. Hayla is a playful young gal with just a touch of feistiness to keep things interesting. She appears to get along OK with her community roommates. She likes to be petted and to be cooed over and will quietly purr to show her affection. She is very curious and loves sitting on a window sill just to watch the birds outdoors. Hayla is declawed and therefore must be an indoor-only kitty (domestic short hair, two-year-old spayed female). ■ — You can include Homeward Bound in your will. Ask how.

Grow your own: sweet potatoes By Jean Parker GUEST COLUMNIST
Have you ever considered growing sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas)? Or have you always heard that they can’t be grown in Vermont, so have never planted any in your garden? I tried to grow them a few years ago when someone gave me several sweet potato slips. Without any knowledge, I planted the slips in a circle in my garden. The experts advised us to make sure the soil was loose so the plants could expand under the ground. So we borrowed a small rototiller and loosened the soil. We planted the slips in rows, a foot apart and in rows two feet apart, with a small amount of blood meal in each hole. Then we avoided walking in the actual rows until we dug them up in the fall. Although sweet potatoes can be grown in all parts of Vermont, keep in mind that they need a three- to four-month growing season for the tubers to form. They also need plenty of sun and well-drained soil. » Vets dental Cont. from pg. 1

Dockter is a 20-year retired Navy veteran who has to pay for his own dental insurance and struggles to “get anything done.” “(Mr. McColgan) is not alone... Back in the 1990s WRJ had a full dental office but they were using it to treat the teeth of state prisoners — that ticked me off. When it comes to dental, veterans are not covered. The prisoners got more immediate treatment. It’s a sad situation but that’s the way it is. “Concerning Mr. McColgan’s issue, our VA Hospital in White River junction is not at fault. This is a countrywide mandate. We are very fortunate to have one of the top-rated VA hospitals serving our area in the United States in White River Junction.” Dockter would like to see more U.S. elected representatives gain a better appreciation

ready to eat as this allows the starches to turn to sugar. To save money, I keep a few potatoes every year, so I can sprout my own slips for the next season. Take a potato with a few eyes and put a toothpick in each side of the piece. Put it in a jar with water just up to the bottom of the potato. The potato will sprout within three to four weeks. If you decide to start your own slips next year, the ideal time to start them is late April for planting in early June. ■

Tang said she doesn’t know why McColgan isn’t getting call backs from the VA in Vermont, but she noted that she would look into his specific case. She stressed that the White River Junction staff work hard to call back every veteran contacting the hospital. The Veterans of Foreign Wars state adjutant in Vermont is Don Dockter, a former Vietnamera U.S. Navy dental-equipment repair specialist. Dockter prefaced his comments by stressing that his own opinions do not reflect the opinions of the Veterans of Foreign Wars organization. “Any veteran with a VA problem should contact Pat Leahy, Bernie Sanders and Peter Welch; they will get right back — and yes, it does suck. We as veterans, from the neck up, we can’t get nothing,” Dockter said.
The vines grow above the ground and have very few insect or disease problems. As a rule of thumb, wait until June 1 to plant as the soil needs to be warm, at least 65 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s typically at least two weeks after your last spring frost date. Sweet potatoes like water, and if there is a dry spell with no rain, you will need to water often. We have found that in rainy summers we harvested larger potatoes. If you planted in early June, you can probably start checking for tubers when the leaves of the plants start to yellow. The potatoes will be directly below each plant. Dig them up carefully to avoid damaging the tubers. We use our hands if the soil is loose enough. Be sure to harvest before the temperatures cool the soil as the tubers won’t continue to grow and there’s a greater likelihood of attack by wireworms and other insect pests. We typically harvest ours in late September or early October, just before the first fall frost. Tubers need to be cured in a warm room with high humidity for around two weeks to allow the skins to toughen. They will need to dry for about six weeks before they are

From the editor
Act 250 expansion Former Vermont State Rep. John McClaughry (elected 1968 and 1970) was also senior policy advisor to President Reagan. Most know him as the founder of the free-market and libertarian Ethan Allen Institute think-tank here in Vermont. McClaughry has a long memory and that’s a good thing. That’s why his perspective and public voice regarding the current moves to expand Act 250 are vital. Nowadays, institutional memory is a rare thing in everything from journalism to government policy. Regarding the creation and enactment of Act 250, McClaughry is a state treasure. “I am probably the only member of the 1970 legislature still active in our state’s public life. I was active in the debate then and afterwards, offered the only successful floor amendment, and cheerfully voted ‘yes’ on passage.... Practically everybody shared Gov. Deane Davis’ alarm at the threat of developers launching huge projects –notably in Wilmington and Dover – that would completely overrun the capacities of local governments to deal with water, sewer, town roads, traffic, police
and fire protection, and schools.” “The 1968 municipal planning and zoning act gave towns considerable authority to deal with these issues, but few had familiarity with the tools. Thus Act 250 was enacted to require developers of larger projects to obtain permits by showing district environmental commissions that their projects complied with all ten ill-defined criteria (no adverse impact).” Today, McClaughry is worried about the direction of Act 250 and talk of its draconian expansion. Two years ago, a state commission was given the task of looking at Act 50 50 years and coming up new legislation in 2019. McClaughry worries about idealistic state planners who like telling Vermonters what to do (and how to do) in a passionate drive to create, what he terms, the “Perfect Little State.” Among McClaughry’s many worries is the expansion of Act 250 and the seizure of public property under the law. He is deeply concerned about future protection of private property rights in Vermont.
“The Vermont Constitution acknowledges that private property may be taken for the use of the public, but if so, the owner must receive just compensation — ‘an equivalent in money,’” he writes. “The state can surely prohibit the use of private property that causes pollution or injuries to others. But what if oppressive state regulation – not for controlling pollution, but for carrying out somebody’s master plan for the Perfect Little State — strips a property owner of any beneficial use?” Another McClaughry worry: the Vermont Natural Resource Council (VNRC) has become what he calls, the “driving force” to revise Act 250 and to move Vermont on toward that utopian Perfect Little State. “It’s transparently clear that the driving theme of the commission’s (and VNRC’s) recommendations will be state regulation of as much landrelated activity as can be swept under Act 250, to assure that our march to become the Perfect Little Climate Conscious State continues unabated,” McClaughry warns. — The Eagle ■

The ‘R’ word By Don Monger
GUEST COLUMNIST
Last November, almost anyone running for office in Vermont was reminded as to just how intolerant the electorate has become. Anyone with the letter “R” next to his or her name, unless running unopposed, was summarily voted out of office. We now have 43-150 Republicans in the State House and 6-30 Republican state senators. Vermont suffered a loss in diversity of thought as a direct result. Many on the left have historically voted for a fiscal conservative at the helm, arguing that this prevented our legislative body from balancing our annual budgets with tax increases. In this regard, Gov. Phil Scott (R) has done fairly well in keeping overspending to a minimum. But the quest to attain econom-
ic equality and social justice for all Vermonters through legislation persists. Our list for what we want is ever growing. We want to take care of global causes for our existential threat with the imposition of a local carbon tax, even though Vermont and Alaska are the only two states with positive carbon footprints. We want to clean up Lake Champlain with costly indirect approaches, rather than employing less costly direct methods. We want marijuana for all, using the argument that it is healthy and safe. And we naively count on increased tax revenues, with no downside. One need only to know that the expected increase in tax revenues is lost to the black market. But the greatest offsets incurred are with loss of lives. This persistence in spending comes at such a cost that the breaking point will
be reached. Before we spend ourselves into oblivion, we need to crawl back from the precipice and take a rational approach. Our current unemployment is at an all-time low of 2.5 percent. We can’t do any better. Vermonters are maxed out. Yet our largest tax, our property taxes, is at an alltime high and it keeps increasing. And since approximately 80 percent goes toward education, this will keep increasing as our student to teacher ratio keeps dwindling. So long as our legislature is convinced that they are doing the state electorate’s bidding by keeping evil big business out of Vermont, this will increasingly get worse, not better. Families with children will not be coming to Vermont. They will continue the trend of moving for employment to other states that
are business friendly. Forbes Magazine rated Vermont as the 47th least business friendly state in 2018. Native Vermonters can’t afford to live here and are moving out of the state that for generations before have called home. Our net population has stagnated over the last two decades. Again, we are maxed out. So, this comes full circle as to why Vermont needs diversity of thought in Montpelier: You have won this battle but be careful of what you wish. The time will come when you must move out because it is too expensive to live here. Voting Republicans out of office because you hate President Trump (or Reagan or Bush or...) is just shooting yourself, our children and our grandchildren in the proverbial foot. ■ - Don Monger lives in New Haven.

Rutland: When steam was king By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
Back in its heyday, the Rutland Railroad was the King of Steam in New England. Just after the Civil War, the Rutland & Burlington Railroad was reorganized and changed its name to the Rutland Railroad. Another minor name change would follow in the 1950s. From the late 1800s until 1955, the golden era of the Rutland R.R. included a number of impressive steam locomotives in the fleet using both local wood and Pennsylvania coal. For example, the beloved coal-fired Rutland 2-8-2, a configuration of two leading wheels on one axle, was called the Mikado or simply Mike. The locomotive was also later called the McAdoo Mikado and the MacArthur during World War II and the Korean War. However, by the late 1940s, the age of steam had mostly passed and the decline of the Rutland Railroad became evident with many local rail branches being closed down thanks to the changing lifestyles and transportation modes in post-war America. By 1950, the Rutland company was reorganized yet again with a slightly changed name, the Rutland Railway. The year 1953 brought three weeks of employee strike action, which killed off the remaining passenger service on the line. In 1955, the Rutland retired its last steam locomotives. Strikes had plagued the Rutland from the end of World War II until its demise in the 1960s. By 1961, the writing was on the wall as far as Vermont’s future was concerned regarding non-government subsidized, commercial freight and passenger rail service. At the dawn of the 60s, it was clear that labor costs had simply outpaced railroad op-

Without an infusion of needed funds, railroad infrastructure declined. Also, automobile, truck and airplane competition made operating a rail network like Rutland’s almost impossible with serious cutbacks. Railroad executives, seeing that their operation was no longer viable, applied to the U.S. Interstate Commerce Commission for what was termed, “complete abandonment.” This was approved with little fanfare outside of the region and the railroad was shut down at 9 a.m. on May 20, 1963. There’s plenty of blame to go around for the demise of the Rutland Railway: both management and labor contributed to the end by digging in their own corners. The result was a major loss for every stakeholder in the line.
The 1960s labor strike which put the final nail in the Rutland Railway’s coffin was brought on by workers unwillingness to accept some planned big changes. Executives announced that they wanted to relocate the operations of the railroad from Rutland to Burlington. This plan met with loud protests from the core of employees that were based in Rutland. The planned changes would have lengthened rain runs, especially Burlington to Bellows Falls or Ogdensburg, New York, on one day, staying over and then running back the next day. Under the operating orders up to 1961, the railroaders would make the run from Rutland to Burlington or Bellows Falls and back in a day, or from Malone, New York, running out and back to Ogdensburg and Burlington.
Ironically, just a few years later, the national unions agreed to nationwide job changes that allowed the type of change proposed by railway officials. But such adjustments by labor came too late for Vermont. Thus, the railroad’s end came not with a bang but a whimper. During the 1960s, railroad tracks in New York were removed, ending connections to Chatham, New York and on to New York City’s Grand Central Terminal via the New York Central’s Harlem Line. Much of the right-of-way in Vermont was purchased by the state. The Northern Division across the top of New York State from Ogdensburg to Norwood still remains in tracks. Interestingly, it’s operated by Vermont Railway, so all the remaining trackage of the Rutland is once again operated by one company. Today, a 21-mile section from Norwood to Moira is now the multi-use Rutland Trail. Other abandoned sections make up all, or part,of the Hudson and Delaware Rail Trail, Corkscrew Rail Trail and the Alburg Recreation Rail Trail. Until it was relocated from Vermont to he Steamtown Foundation, the Bellows Falls terminus of the Rutland Railway was operated for tourist trains between the museum site and Chester. But even following Steamtown’s departure from the Green Mountain State to Pennsylvania, several tourist trains using the original Rutland rolling stock were operated. While the classic Rutland Railroad is gone, it lives on in memory and in today’s rolling stock of its successors, the Green Mountain Railroad and Vermont Railway. ■ — Special thanks to the Rutland Railroad Historical Society, Rutland Railway Association and others for sharing background material.
Residents voted on festival T-shirt design By Pat Boera GUEST W RITER
MIDDLEBURY | The Middlebury Summer Festival OnThe-Green celebrates its 41st season this year. Look for the festival under the big white tent next to St. Stephen’s Church during the week of July 7-13 . During nearly four-plus decades as a top attraction on the arts calendar in Vermont, the festival has showcased artists with long resumes, up-and-comers, quiet solo acts and lively bands, and never an admission fee. For the seventh year, the downtown festival has partnered with students from Lisa Rader’s Design & Illustration Program at the Patricia A. Hannaford Career Center to create a T-shirt design. The Middlebury Festival Committee reviewed 15 designs and narrowed the selection to three: “Energy & Organic Essence,” “Keep the Music Flowing,” and “Song from the Sun & Moon.” The community was invited to cast a vote for this year’s design. Voting remained open until 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, May 19. The festival has once again distinction as a Vermont Chamber of Commerce Top 10 Summer Event. Featured 2019 performers will include the Sam Reider and the Human Hands, Windborne, Bon Débarras, the Small

New book explores Vermont’s forests By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
Vermont Commissioner of Forests, Parks & Recreation Michael Snyder is the author of a new book about trees and forests in the Green Mountain State. Photo provided by Vermont Forests, Parks & Recreation
MIDDLEBURY | How does a busy Vermont state official manage to find time to write thoughtful, informative essays to be included in a book? Apparently, it isn’t easy to accomplish but the state’s Commissioner of Forests, Parks & Recreation Michael Snyder has a knack for skilled time management, so spending personal time, creatively, to provide a delightful educational resource could be deemed the “recreation” part of a Forests, Parks & Recreation job description. Snyder’s book, titled “Woods Whys: An Exploration of Forests and Forestry,” is a collection of well-crafted essays about the life of Vermont’s green world. Snyder’s desire is to get Vermonters con-
nected to the woods around them. Have you ever wondered how trees come back to life in spring? Why paper birches are so white? Or which trees make the best firewood? Snyder has the answers for the reader. Snyder said his collection of essays was designed primarily as a teaching tool, to teach Vermont residents about the lives of trees, the inner realm of our forests and how various agencies and even individuals help in the vital task of forest management. “My goal in writing this book was to share my love of the woods with others,” Snyder said. “Each essay begins with a question, and while I always tried to answer that question through facts and science, it was important to me to leave room for the wonder and enduring mysteries of forests, too.” Snyder’s essays have accumulated over the years and began in Northern Wood-
lands magazine. According to Snyder, the book can be read straight through or one essay-chapter at a time, depending on what the reader is curious about. “Condensing complex forest science into topics that are accessible, fun and easy-tounderstand is challenging, and it’s what makes ‘Woods Whys’ such a great resource,” according to Tony D’Amato, professor and director of the forestry program at the University of Vermont. “This book helps connect everyone to the woods, whether they’re novices or forestry professionals.” “Copies will also be available shortly in retail establishments across our region,” Snyder said. The commissioner will be touring bookshops in Addison and Rutland counties this summer to talk about the book and sign copies. ■

Les Patriotes: Generations of service By Tom Pinsonneault GUEST W R ITER
What scenes flash through your memory banks when you see or hear the word patriot? My mind’s eye focuses on the Sons and Daughters of Liberty of the American Revolutionary Era. Ordinary people called to heroic circumstances. We remember Paul Revere, Margaret Cochran Corbin and Ethan Allen and countless others throughout history who bravely defended the ideal of freedom, liberty and equality. Many of these patriots made the ultimate sacrifice of life and limb to preserve our peace, prosperity and way of life. They all made immeasurable personal sacrifices. American families down through the centuries and even now as I write this column, send their sons and daughters, husbands and wives and brothers and sisters off to serve when their nation calls to arms, most recently Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan. I remember when, as a youngster, living on Main Street in Bennington (where the Baptist Church Sunday School building now stands) spending many hours with Al Whitman, John Sherman and Artie and Terry Senecal playing in the dirt with our toy soldiers. I remember digging up the lawn and making trenches then igniting the head of some of the plastic soldiers and using the dripping plastic flames to destroy the trenches and enemy toy soldiers within. Every Friday (my family’s shopping day) we made a trip to Fishman’s Department Store downtown to buy reinforcements. But those were just games. My brother, Henry, was a real soldier. He served in the U.S. Army with the 14th Armored Calvary during the Korean War. He served from 1950 to 1953 as a medic and drove an ambulance in Fulda, Germany. He returned in late 1953 (having survived an ambulance crash) with all kinds of patches and medals, fatigue hats and other paraphernalia all of which I proudly wore to grammar school. He had a Red Cross arm band that was my most precious possession as a kid. There wasn’t anything that my army brother could do
wrong especially when he took me for rides, following his honorable discharge from the Army, in that big Mercury convertible that roared like a jet! My cousins Raymond, Hector and Peter Pinsonneault also served proudly during the Korean War. All four: Henry, Raymond, Peter and Hector were called to service at the same time and all ended-up stationed in Germany. Raymond enlisted and served from 1951 to 1953. Stationed in Germany he was an administrative inspector and inspected the 155 SP (heavy artillery). While in Germany, Frankfurt became his home base. Raymond played on the regimental baseball team and as a result traveled all over Germany. Hector was in the National Guard when his unit, the 43rd Division, was activated and served from 1951 to 1953, stationed in Munich. Peter was drafted and served from 1952 to 1953. They were all patriots answering their country’s call. During the Vietnam War, patriots from small towns across our nation were called up to serve. The town of Orwell, which is located in Addison County, was no exception sending into the ranks: Rick Buxton, Robert Martin, Michael Audet, Cathy Tester and Ted Michel to name a few. Bennington continued to call up her patriots. Richard (Rick) Pinsonneault served his country during the Vietnam War. Rick Pinsonneault, being drafted in August of 1972, had the distinct honor of being the last person to be drafted from Bennington. The draft ended in 1973. War has a way of interrupting our personal lives and Rick was no exception. Wedding invitations had already been sent out and rather than postpone the ceremony he and his fiancée, Joan Martin, were granted a two-week extension in order to get married. He was later stationed in (guess?) Germany (I am beginning to see some sort of pattern). Rick’s job was in artillery fire direction control, communications and intelligence. He served with the First Battalion 22nd Field Artillery at Pinder Barracks in Zirndorf, Germany. Joan, now his wife, followed him to Germany where their daughter, Renee was born. Ron and John Pinsonneault joined the

Remembering a Vermont hero
ABOVE: An American hero: John Clagett of Middlebury. LEFT: During World War II, Clagett commanded a P.T. boat at the Battle of Guadalcanal and was severely injured in the sinking of P.T. 111 on Feb. 1, 1943. Photos provided
From Staff & News Reports THE V ERMONT EAGLE
MIDDLEBURY| Addison County author and veteran John Clagett was born in 1916 and died in 2013. He was among Vermont’s most highly decorated U.S. Navy veterans of World War II. During World War II, Clagett commanded a P.T. boat at the Battle of Guadalcanal and was severely injured in the sinking of P.T. 111 on Feb. 1, 1943. During his long convalescence from the severe burns from Guadalcanal, he met and married the love of his life, Marjorie Douglas, R.N. At the time of Clagett’s
passing, the couple had just celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary. After his distinguished Naval career, he joined the U.S. Foreign Service and was sent to Norway. Upon their return home John received his Doctorate degree from Yale University. His many accomplishments included graduating from the Naval Academy, receiving a Ph.D. from Yale University, spending three years in Norway, and being professor emeritus of English at Middlebury College. He was a devout member of St. Stephen’s Church in Middlebury. Clagett’s hobbies included skiing, fishing and reading; he was the author of 19 fiction and non-fiction books.
Several of his historical novels, including “The Slot”, “Papa Tango”, and Typhoon 1944”, explore the lives of men—and their families—during wartime. Among Clagett’s notable speculative novels is a science-fiction work about an atomic power plant accident, titled “The Orange R”; it was set in the fictional town of Waybury, Vermont. 2019 update: Two readers contacted the Eagle about reprinting this 2018 Memorial Day story recognizing veteran John Clagett. As a special 2019 update to the story, the family informed us that Commander Clagett’s cremains will be laid to rest, with high military honors, this summer at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. ■

3 Memorial Day weekend travel tips 3. Be patient and depart on Saturday morning.
Memorial Day weekend is one of the busiest travel weekends of the year. The automotive group AAA estimates that 40 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more on Memorial Day weekend. Those estimates also projected that 34.6 million vehicles will be used to make those trips.
Friday before Memorial Day, and workers who aren’t so lucky may just leave work early, meaning Friday afternoon traffic figures to be heavy. By leaving Thursday afternoon or evening, travelers can avoid the Friday rush to the beach.
Often referred to as “the unofficial beginning of summer,” Memorial Day and the weekend that precedes it has become synonymous with beach trips and backyard barbecues. Travelers who want to avoid traffic jams and ensure their weekends get off on the right foot can benefit from employing these three travel-savvy strategies.
Travelers who can’t take an extra day off or leave work early the Friday before Memorial Day may want to consider taking public transportation to their beach destinations instead of driving themselves. In 2016, the U.S.-based data firm Inrix noted that a traffic-free Friday jaunt from New York City to Long Island’s East end would take 90 minutes, while the same trip would take three hours and 40 minutes on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. Travelers who can’t leave early can save themselves from Memorial Day weekend travel tends to be hectic. But the stress of holiday traffic jams by letting someone else do savvy travelers with some flexibility can take steps to make the navigating. BuildingEnergySpringEagleAdFamily.pdf 2 3/26/19 3:08their PM trips less stressful. ■
1. Start the weekend early. In its “State of American Vacation 2017” survey, Project: Time Off found that 662 million vacation days were unused in 2016. People traveling for Memorial Day who typically leave some vacation days on the table can start their weekends early this year. Many offices close early the
C
2. Take public transportation.
Travelers who can be patient may find that waiting to depart for their destinations until Saturday can save them from dealing with much of the stress of traveling on Memorial Day weekend. The benefits of being patient may depend on where travelers live, as the Inrix study noted that Friday was the busiest day to leave Los Angeles on Memorial Day weekend, while San Diego residents tended to deal with the most traffic on Saturday. An added benefit of waiting until Saturday is the likelihood that such travelers will not return home until Tuesday, avoiding traffic on Monday, which tends to be the busiest return travel day of the weekend.

How Memorial Day and Veterans Day differ from each other Memorial Day and Veterans Day each honor the military, though the two holidays are not the same. Memorial Day, which is celebrated annually on the last Monday in May, honors the brave men and women who lost their lives while serving in the American military. Many communities host memorial ceremonies honoring their fallen soldiers on Memorial Day, ensuring such soldiers’ bravery and sacrifices are never forgotten. While many people now view Memorial Day weekend as the unofficial start of summer, the weekend should not be celebrated without also pausing to reflect on and recognize the military personnel who lost their lives in defense of freedom and the American way of life.
Veterans Day is celebrated annually on November 11 and recognizes all men and women who have served in the military. Veterans Day coincides with Remembrance Day, which is a celebrated by the Commonwealth of Nations, an association of 53 member states with connections to the British Empire. Though Veterans Day and Remembrance Day are each celebrated on November 11, the latter recognizes armed forces members who died in the line of duty, making it more similar to Memorial Day than Veterans Day. It’s not uncommon for people to recognize fallen soldiers on Veterans Day, but many use the holiday to express their appreciation to existing veterans.. ■
