SUMMARY:U.S\, Army Birthday
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Army was founded on 14 June 1775\, when the Continental Congress authorized enlistment of riflemen to serve the United Colonies for one year. \nThe 14 June date is when Congress adopted “the American continental army” after reaching a consensus position in The Committee of the Whole. This procedure and the desire for secrecy account for the sparseness of the official journal entries for the day. The record indicates only that Congress undertook to raise ten companies of riflemen\, approved an enlistment form for them\, and appointed a committee (including Washington and Schuyler) to draft rules and regulations for the government of the army. The delegates’ correspondence\, diaries\, and subsequent actions make it clear that they really did much more. They also accepted responsibility for the existing New England troops and forces requested for the defense of the various points in New York. The former were believed to total 10\,000 men; the latter\, both New Yorkers and Connecticut men\, another 5\,000. \nAt least some members of Congress assumed from the beginning that this force would be expanded. That expansion\, in the form of increased troop ceilings at Boston\, came very rapidly as better information arrived regarding the actual numbers of New England troops. By the third week in June delegates were referring to 15\,000 at Boston. When on 19 June Congress requested the governments of Connecticut\, Rhode Island\, and New Hampshire to forward to Boston “such of the forces as are already embodied\, towards their quotas of the troops agreed to be raised by the New England Colonies\,” it gave a clear indication of its intent to adopt the regional army. Discussions the next day indicated that Congress was prepared to support a force at Boston twice the size of the British garrison\, and that it was unwilling to order any existing units to be disbanded. By the first week in July delegates were referring to a total at Boston that was edging toward 20.000. Maximum strengths for the forces both in Massachusetts and New York were finally established on 21 and 22 July\, when solid information was on hand. These were set\, respectively\, at 22\,000 and 5\,000 men\, a total nearly double that envisioned on 14 June.

SUMMARY:GRAND PROMENADE (Check in and Social Time)
DESCRIPTION:Message from Grande Chef de Gare Frank Falbee\nVoyageurs\, as you know\, the annual Grand Promenade for Washington is scheduled for the 3rd of August.  That is a Saturday\, at Voiture 99 in Vancouver\, WA.  Word has been out for over two months now.  As of this date\, July 23\, 2024\, only a handful of voyageurs have registered to attend.  In view of this lack of interest I have directed the management of Voiture 99 to return all registration fees and cancel the banquet scheduled for Saturday evening.  The Promenade will still be held on Aug 3rd. At Voiture 99 beginning at 10AM for the Cheminot and 1 PM for the Promenade.  Officers for next year will be elected.  I hope that representatives from voitures within driving distance of Vancouver can see their way to attend and have their voices heard. \nFrank A.
