Notes: Coit Tower was constructed in 1933 at the request of Lillie Hitchcock Coit. This interesting woman was a volunteer firefighter who rode along with the firemen of her day, often to the chagrin of those who may have found such behavior unladylike during her era. Ignoring those people, Ms. Coit lived a dynamic life. She was allowed her eccentricities in part because she had the money to live as she pleased. She donated much of that money to assisting the firefighters in the city. She also donated the money to build Coit Tower in the interest of both honoring the firefighters and creating a beautiful spot for viewing the city she loved.

Memorial Day Poppies of Flanders fields

Memorial Day Poppies of Flanders fieldsScottish and American Service Members Pay tribute to Fallen heroes

Poppy wreaths lay at the base of the Scottish-American War Memorial May 25, 2009 in Edinburgh Scotland. The poppy is a major war remembrance symbol because of the poppies that bloomed across some of the worst battlefields of Flanders in World War I. Their red color is an appropriate symbol for the bloodshed of trench warfare. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Perry Aston) (Released)

On Veterans Day and Memorial Day, support groups such as the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars raise funds for their charitable activities by selling paper poppies made by disabled veterans. This bright red wildflower became a symbol of World War I after a bloody battle in a field of poppies called Flanders Field in Belgium.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below

We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Lt. Col. John McCrae, MD
Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps
Spring 1915

Sir Edward Coke

Sir Edward CokeTitle The life of Sir Edward Coke, lord chief justice of England in the reign of James I., with memoirs of his contemporaries, Volume 1 The Life of Sir Edward Coke, Lord Chief Justice of England in the Reign of James I., with Memoirs of His Contemporaries, Cuthbert William Johnson.

Publisher: Orr and Smith, 1837. Original from: the University of Michigan. Digitized: May 6, 2008. Subjects: Great Britain.

Sir Edward Coke (pronounced "Cook") (1 February 1552 – 3 September 1634) was a seventeenth-century English jurist and Member of Parliament whose writings on the common law were the definitive legal texts for nearly 150 years.
Coke's importance rests principally on his legal writings and on his defense of the rule of law. His texts formed the basis for modern common law, with lawyers in England and America learning from his Institutes and Reports until the end of the eighteenth century. As a judge and Member of Parliament, Coke supported individual liberty against arbitrary government.

"The house of every one is to him as his castle and fortress, as well for his defence against injury and violence as for his repose." - Semayne's Case, 77 Eng. Rep. 194, 195; 5 Co. Rep. 91, 195 (K.B. 1604)

James Clerk MaxwellJames Clerk Maxwell (13 June 1831 – 5 November 1879) was a Scottish theoretical physicist and mathematician.

In 1864 Maxwell wrote "A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field", where he proposed that light was in fact undulations in the same medium that is the cause of electric and magnetic phenomena.
