now my generation also experienced war. we follow the cold war and the vietnam war and witnessed and participated in the civil rights movement. conflicts and events that sometimes created a divide between our generations. the values of my parents' generation were framed around personal responsibility, duty to country, honor faith. they were shaped in large part by the trials and tribulations that they endured and had to overcome. my generation lived through the fall of the berlin wall and vietnam war, made us challenge the unquestioned patriotism of our parents' generation. civil rights and the war on poverty focused our commitment to ending segregation and reducing income inequality. one year before i graduated from college in 1970, the u.s. landed a man on the moon. an event that unleashed the innovative and competitive spirit of the american people, the impact of which is still being felt today. the civil rights movement offered an opportunity to redefine race and gender relations in america. today, our country is far st

general gordon and general rters longstreet convinced me that would not be a wise move.day they would take care of it. i stayed here at my headquarters at my tent until the last surrender. the last day. i was taking care of ting on correspondence making sure the men got rations, finding paroles. i was waiting on colonel marshal -- >> he was your aid? >> he was a general and he was the one who usually wrote my orders. so colonel gen marshal from baltimore wrote general order number nine. >> how quickly did you notify washington of the surrender and i how long were you on the took battlefield or in appomattox rather after the -- a >> i took care after the surrender and general lee left me a myriad of nigh muminutia. it was later that day that my him. staff reminded me that i would telegraph and tell them of the surrender are. and i said yes, indeed. and i telegraphed them. the next morning on april 10th horse i o wanted to speak with general lee again and i rode my horse e saw out to meet him. he did not know i was coming. when he saw me, he got quickly mounted and rode ou

general lee recalled that he had met grant.s are as the generals are speaking, general grant's stafffiles into the room. and after some time of conversation about mexico, lee called grant's attention to the matter at hand and inquired to t the terms. grant replied that the terms would be substantially the same would be substantially as what he had wrote the previous day.evious lee then asked grant to put his terms in writing. and then lee sat down near a large marble top white table. while puffing on a cigar, grant sat at a small wooden table thatn had an oval top on it and began writing in pencil in his manifold order book.ncil observing lee as he wrote, grantld ord said he could not discern lee's true feelings.er and he said the initial joy he had had felt at receiving lee's f letter wanting to meet with him now, h to surrender had dissipated. and now, he felt sad and depressed. he recalled, i felt like anything rather than rejoicing at the downfall of a foe. the wishes of lincoln came out in the terms. grant had met lincoln on april -- march 28th and apri discussed the end of the

general johnston surrendered his troops three weeks after general lee surrendered his.he portrait you see there, the spurs the gaunt lets, the sash and this chest all belonged to general joseph johnston. the last surrender that occurred on land was by brigadier general stan watty. we only have a portrait of him. he is knowable because he was a cherokee. he surrendered his men in the oklahoma territory in june of 1865. that was the last surrender of confederate troops on land. the last surrender of any confederate flag occurred in november of 1865 from the css citizen an doha. it was surrendered in november of 1865 in liverpool, england. the ships with a raiding ship, a successful one and it was operating off the coast of the elution islands off of alaska when it got word that the war had ended. now the captain did not want to put into any u.s. port because he and his men would have been hanged as pirates because that's what they were. so they sailed all the way around south america, back up to great britain to liverpool, england, which is where their ship had been made.

that battle lasts only to about 10:30 ton the morning when general lee sends his final message to general grant telling him he is now ready to surrender his army. you will notice here high bridge, this was going from farmville to appotomax. it crossed the appotomax river that you can see here. this photo was taken in august of 1865 when they were doing final repairs to the bridge after the war. we are going to go into the gallery and show you some of the items that we do have. some of them were specific here to appotomax. and of course our collection is very broad, very deep. so we have a lot of other interesting things to share with you as well. this sword here is one of our outstanding pieces in our collection. this was general lee's dress sword. it was given to him in 1863 by a amerilander. that's all we know about this donor of of the. he wore it in his formal par alal portraits. he wore it on his dress appearances. he wore it on the day he surrendered to general grant because he was in his dress uniform. he didn't know what was going to happen to him personally that day. he knew he w

in general we understand the flow of the conversation and what the generals talked about. the terms that grant offers to general lee were inspired by president lincoln who wanted to end the war easily and quickly. the confederate soldiers will be allowed to return to their homes. they have to turn over their military equipment -- that means surrendering rifles and military property like cannons and wagons. government property or military property has to be turned over and then they will be free to go. those terms are accepted and for most people, that is what they think of when they think of appomattox. but that is really just the beginning because now this whole thing has to be put into motion and the surrender is going to take place over the next couple of days. here we have the mclean house, the original photograph on the right the house was torn down later on. the house you see on the right is a reconstruction. the confederate soldiers are issued parole passes. these are very important because when lee surrenders, the war is not over, it is just lee surrendering the ar

the battle last till 10:30 the morning, when general lee sends a message to general grant telling him he is ready to surrender his army. the bridge is highbridge, going from farmville to appomattox. it crossed the appomattox river. this photograph was taken in august of 1865, when they were doing final repairs to the bridge after the war. we are going into the gallery. i will show you some of the items we have. some of them were specific to appomattox. our collection is very broad very deep. we have a lot of interesting things to share with you as well. this sort is one of our -- sword is one of our outstanding pieces. it is generally's dress sword given to him by a marylander. that is all we know about it. he wore it in dress appearances ended the day he surrender to general grant. he did not know what was going to happen to him personally that day. he knew he was surrendering his army but did not know what was going to happen to him. the sword has a myth that comes with it. not too long after the surrender, writers started saying things that lee offered his sword, grant refused it.

states will be forced to rework their energy generation market to account for loss of coal-fired generation states will be forced into changing their energy mix in favor of renewables. states will be forced to alter existing regulatory framework which would threaten energy affordability and reliability for consumers. there's a substantial concern the epa before the clean power plan is finalized will issue a uniform federal implementation plan that will be forced upon those states that don't acquiesce to the unlawful clean power plan. such a move by the epa would be the proverbial gun to the head of the states diminished its act or face financial situation for state. i can say with confidence that ebay does, in fact, move forward with the uniform that can the people be challenged by obama and other like-minded states. i'm not what he believes the epa has no role. the agencies played an important role historically in addressing water and air quality issues that covers state lines. however, with this rule the agency is now being used to pick winners and losers in the energy market by elevating

the expect was that a lot of the assets that benefit power they sized it to maximize the power generation so like mountain tunnel for example, they built it not for the amount of water be delivered but to maximize to generate in producing power there's a lot of assets that probably fall under that and so they felt that was you know benefit for the power and also customers are not benefiting from the power there was an effort to trying to determine each one of the assets what is the value as it relates to generating power for the power enterprise and how much for water so through a whole list of assets they came with the official category of 55, 45 so if we see one asset that's not right we pretty much put all that in the basket some maybe hire and some lower with 45 you can't go wrong is that - >> yeah. i think you've described that well i was a young cubby was here but not involved in that negotiation you described my understanding of that perfectly so you end up with i think this is an important point to make with replaced to the mountain tunnel it is less true when you make it statemen

general van ovost: thank you and good afternoon. thank you for inviting us today to discuss the rescission of the ground combat rules. as an air force pilot, removing gender related barriers is important professionally and personally. in 2013, it was announced to rescind it the combat definition 2013 also marked the anniversary of combat women allowing women to begin flying combat missions. i highlight this milestone because i step through that door. it presented its challenges. but we got it right. women jumped at the opportunity to be the first to enter. but no one wanted to be the first to fail. if one of us failed, it reflected poorly on all of us. if a male failed, he was just a normal statistic. successful integration required thoughtful implementation. as a captain i was oblivious to the extent of the efforts taken to ensure my success. the right policies, the right preparation, training, a viable career path. engaged leadership, mentors, and robust communication across the force. today, i'm inspired by the young women across

a lot of people do not know that general lee and general grant never signed the same piece of paper.et at the maclean house on april 9, they had a cordial meeting. lee asked grant to set his terms of surrender on paper. he had heard them in general a p days before as they had been corresponding but he asked him , to write down his particular terms of surrender, which grant did. he gave it to lee to read. lee made a couple corrections to it and gave it back to general grant. he wrote his letter of acceptance of those particular terms. lee signed his own letter, but they never signed the same piece of paper. there is no formal peace treaty originated on this. there was no document ever signed between the president lincoln and president davis, ending any of this. it was just lee surrendering to his army to general grant at this particular time. in this particular case, there are a lot of uniforms and flags that pertain specifically to appomattox. these were on the men that were here with them. the flags that are here are ones that were captured or surrendered in appomattox. the museum h

willing to give us water we have to look at it closely second based on the conversations with the general manager mr. kelly and ms. howe i've been told no decision to only repair the tunnel it is predicament but i think that is not clear in the materials you received today it was evidence by some of the comments and i think that that clarity should be high priority and understand that completely and where those decision points are and third the lack of progress on mountain tunnel 6 hostilities the mode to have a schedule and budget that was adapted by this commission such information would ordinarily be in the plan this is a successful step for this time after time we've had to adapt those plans and force this commission and the leadership of our organization to reaffirm your ability to meet the schedules and goals and track if i understand that such a schedule and goal to can be made i ask you have this for adoption in may so the customers including the 1 point plus million can be chauffeured this practicing progress can be measured thank you very much that concludes my comments. >> than

the story of your generation will never be forgotten.ll continue to tell it to children blessedly untouched by war, so they will continue to understand the price of freedom. we will continue to mark the passing of anniversaries like this one so memory never fades into complacency towards the evils in our world. we will carry on the march toward a world of greater rights and opportunities, so that all men and women can live their lives with the basic human dignity that your generation fought for. because while one mission was fulfilled in 1945, the cause of defending freedom is never finished. as president truman put it, we must work to bind up the wounds of a suffering world. to build an abiding peace, of peace rooted in justice and in law. that is the pledge we make again today, and every day. and no matter how difficult the challenges that lie ahead, or what obstacles arise, we will never abandon the struggle. because for all that has changed during the last 70 years, one thing never will. the united states of america will always stand

generation to light switch. by going beyond source level inside the fence line measures epa's proposal would expand 111-d and specifically the underlying statutory term quote, into a whole new regime of regulation. one that regulates pollutant emissions by the sources but the state's entire resource and energy grid. to meet the objectives of the proposed rule, states would be forced to rework their market to account for coal-fire generation and states would be required to change their energy mix in favor of renewables. states would also be forced to alter existing framework. industry and energy producers. finally, there is a substantial concern that the epa, before the clean power plan is even finalized, will usual a federal implementation plan to the ununlawful clean power plan. this would be a gun to the head as the epa sees fit or face punitive financial consequences for their state. i can say with great confidence if the epa moves forward with the uniform fit, it will be challenged by oklahoma and other like
