By the early 1960s, the Post had lost membership considerably and the cost of maintenance of the Legion’s 45 acre property become a financial burden. In 1966 the City of Miami purchased 37 acres of the Legion’s 45 acre property for $862,000 leaving the Legion with 8 acres where the Legion Hall was built; the new building was located south of the “Legion Park” as the property was named when became a public park for the upper eastside. Miami’s purchase money came from two federal grants and city bond funds. Congressman Claude Pepper’s bill allowed Miami to obtain funds from the Federal National Urban Renewal Act’s “Open Spaces” program that encouraged dense cities to create more “green spaces.” And so, Legion Park was born and the Post got a

Proof of volcanic activity related to the break-up of Australia and Antarctica is seen at Bunbury, which is located 150km south of Perth, at the point where the basalt is of early Cretaceous, also on the middle Jurassic Kangaroo Island. However, evidence of Cenozoic eruptions is only seen in Eastern Highland. All through the Cenozoic, hot spot volcanic event transpire (Sutherland et al., 1985). Most of these events follow the Miocene (Stephenson et al., 1980) with recent eruptions close to the southern and northern margin of volcanic zone at southeast of South Australia and north Queensland respectively.

Little Cottonwood Canyon is a site bursting with geological history, rock formations earthquake potential on the fault, prehistoric glacial formations, landslides, and many hazards associated with it. The Wasatch fault is bound to have a enormous earthquake in the future and has left behind numerous scars. The mountains have been engraved by glacial formations dated back to the Ice Age (~14,000 years ago). Rock falls and landslides have left hefty boulders as indication of erosion and moisture in the rocks. The hazards on this mountain range are mass wasting, radon, earthquakes, and flooding of Little Cottonwood Creek.

The removal of the Beauregard Monument was the correct action. Nowadays, New Orleans is compromised of millions of culturally diverse races who are now living side by side. In the past, however, New Orleans was dominated by white supremacists who bought, sold, and forced people of all ethnics, including blacks, into slavery. For instance, slaves worked from the sun up to the sun down, were raped by their masters, and in return for their payment they were given scraps of bread to eat. Confederate Monuments in particular, the Beauregard monument, was built to honor men who fought for slavery. In other words, the monuments were built to honor the slaves who were beaten to death, the slaves who were treated like cattle, the slaves who were forcefully

Jewel Cave is a giant cave system full of intricate designs and shiny crystals. It is currently the 3rd longest cave in the world, and stretches over 181 miles of recorded pathways. The monument was established on February 7, 1908 by Theodore Roosevelt. Inside the cave the temperature is 49°F all year round. Explore the subterranean world of Jewel Cave National Monument.

Mount Redoubt is an active volcano. A volcano is an opening on the surface of the Earth letting the hotter material inside escape the mountain or hill. (Magma or Lava) When that magma escapes, the mountain creates an explosion. If a volcano has erupted in the last 10,000 years then it is still considered an active volcano.

Have you heard or visited the Providence Canyon? If so don't you think the Federal Government should make it a national park? The Providence Canyon is located in the southwest of Georgia's Coastal Plains. It was nicknamed Georgia's " Little Grand Canyon" because of the beautiful sandstone formations found in that area. The people that have visited this canyon think that it is a beautiful place to go that you can even camp in it. The Providence Canyon was once a forest, but that all changed in the 1800 when farmers moved in the area and started growing crops. There are several things that travelers can see while they are at this little grand canyon.

This is the final installment of a series of three reports about the Monarch Divide, a chain of mountains in Kings Canyon National Park.

“Whatever these paintings may have been to men who looked at them a generation back- today they are not only works of art. Today they are the symbols of the human spirit made.... To accept this work today is to assert the purpose of the people of America that the freedom of the human spirit and human mind which has produced the world’s great art and all its science- shall not be utterly destroyed” -President Franklin D. Roosevelt, dedication ceremony of the National Gallery of Art, March 17, 1941.

The Painted Hills, a unit of the John Day Fossil Bed National Monuments, is a beautiful phenomenon exhibiting different time periods throughout Eastern Oregon's history. 40 million years ago,during the Eocene epoch, the creation of painted rocks began. At the time, weather condition were tropical/sun-tropical. This is validated by the consistent ash fall in the area which fossilized organisms like palm trees, avocados and crocodiles.This time is when the rocks/the Clarno formation were created throughout the Oligocene epoch, climate became temperate. Starting the Miocene epoch, climate changed dramatically due to the rising Cascades. The plants and animals were different than before. Oak trees and deer replaced the palms and crocodiles . Low silica eruptions occurred in this time covering the area

The River Valley in Southwest Asia became the home of some great early civilizations. Some of these civilizations include Mesopotamia, Egypt, and China. Many great contributions in architecture, government, writing, and many other subjects came from each of the previous civilizations listed. Without the civilizations, many agricultural advances that occurred over the years may have taken much longer, and possibly never happened. All of the contributions took a lot of effort mentally to create such as new writing systems or designing the pyramids. The many contributions from each civilization certainly helped the whole world in many ways.

The book I read, Monument 14 by Emmy Laybourne, does not mimic real life very effectively. There are a lot of unrealistic situations and scenarios that happen in the book. For example, ginormous hail stones that kill people. Another example would be the gas that escaped that causes certain people to react differently. The gas attacks people based on blood type. For example, some people blister and their skin boils, others have hallucinations, some go out of control crazy, and the last one has no physical appearance, but it effects their ability to reproduce. To me, these situations just don’t seem very realistic.

Death Valley has a unique history dating back to the last Ice Age, once covered by Ice, this place has had many occupancy, while towns and mining camps have come and gone, but it unique beauty is still here, with the caves that contain rare fish, to the Bad-water Basin in the lowest place in North America.

When parents decide to have children, they are subscribing to the fact that they are going to grow up. For most people who want to become parents, or parents themselves, they avoid discussing the difficult parts of their child growing up. The conversations include educating their children about circle of life which involves conception, birth, getting old and death. The video game Monument Valley 2 displays all of these inconceivable subjects in a puzzle game about a mother named Ro raising her child. Ro raises her child teaching her how to rebuild and move through their ancestor’s monuments, the story displays a narrative of growth for a child and mother, with a story that is usually kept in the unconscious.

If you can imagine the most beautiful place on earth and multiply it by 50, that is the Kit Carson Park in New Mexico. Walking through the massive,
