Richard Cesler founded the "Missing in America Project" to locate, identify, and provide proper burials for abandoned and unclaimed cremated remains of American veterans. He organized the first ceremony in Idaho in 2006, laying to rest 21 veterans and a spouse with full military honors. Since then, he has expanded the project to Washington state, where the largest ceremony to date in 2011 honored 62 veterans and two spouses. Cesler has worked to change laws to help the project and honor veterans.

The study was conducted for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to identify any historic properties eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Researchers interviewed 34 self-identified Gladesmen and evaluated 13 properties associated with the Gladesmen culture. These included commercial properties like fish camps, non-commercial sites like clubs and camps, and natural areas. Of the 13 properties, the researchers recommend that Mack's Fish Camp and the Airboat Association of Florida are eligible for listing as traditional cultural properties. The report provides background on the Gladesmen culture and environment, discusses cultural perspectives from interviews,

Genocide in Native American History
Benjamin Madley
This article summarizes the heretofore incomplete and disputed assessment
of the Yuki genocide, narrates the cataclysm, r??valu?tes state and federal
culpability, and explains how this catastrophe constituted genocide under the
1948 United Nations Genocide Convention. Finally, the article explores how
other case studies and the convention may inform future research on genocide
in California and the United States in general.
"Accounts are daily coming in from the counties on the Coast Range, of

six Missourian explorers

The document summarizes the oppression and human rights violations faced by Native Americans throughout history. It describes how they were robbed of their lands and resources, forcibly removed from their homes, subjected to slavery, violence, massacres and diseases introduced by European settlers. It discusses various laws and acts such as the Major Crimes Act, Indian Removal Act, and Allotment Act that undermined Native American self-governance and cultural identities. Specific tragic events like the Trail of Tears, Sand Creek Massacre and Wounded Knee are also mentioned. It outlines the ongoing issues Native Americans face such as poverty, lack of healthcare, substance abuse, and cultural oppression.
Racial Diversity--High School students did research, prepared a report, and summarized their work at the Salina Public Library's Community Learning Center. Their talk is entitled "The Eisenhower Roots of Judicial Diversity: Race and Gender," sponsored by the Salina League of Women Voters.
Eisenhower made several appointments that advanced minorities and women in government. He appointed the first female ambassadors and first black woman to a federal post. While he lost Southern support after Brown v. Board, his Attorney General strengthened civil rights protections. The administration desegregated schools in DC peacefully and sent troops to Little Rock to enforce desegregation, but Eisenhower's main goal was obeying the Supreme Court, not integration itself.

It discusses important figures in black history such as Barack Obama, Sojourner Truth, Frederick Douglass, Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., and Coretta Scott King. It also highlights achievements and inventions by notable African Americans as well as poets, artists, and the first black architect and cardiologist. The document aims to educate about Black history and celebrate the accomplishments and contributions of the African American community.
This document summarizes the key events of the 2013 Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's 43rd Annual Legislative Conference held in Washington DC on September 20, 2013. It provides an overview of Ron E. Armstead's role as the Executive Director of the Congressional Black Caucus Veterans Braintrust and highlights remarks made by Congressman Charles B. Rangel about the importance of participation in the event. It also includes biographical information about James McEachin, an actor and Korean War veteran, who was slated to ride on the Department of Defense's Rose Parade float commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Korean War armistice.
The document summarizes the history of same-sex marriage rights in Washington D.C. from 2009 to 2013. By late 2009, many D.C. residents supported same-sex marriage rights despite opposition from some religious groups. In 2009, clergy from different faiths came together to support marriage equality. In 2010, D.C. began allowing same-sex marriage after the City Council passed legislation legalizing it. The first same-sex marriage in D.C. took place in March 2010. Over the following years, support for same-sex marriage rights grew both in D.C. and nationwide as public figures including President Obama voiced support.
The Trail of Tears was a forced relocation of Native American tribes in the 1830s that resulted in thousands of deaths. The document discusses the causes of the Indian Removal Act, including the discovery of gold on Cherokee lands and the greed of white settlers wanting more territory. It describes the suffering of the Cherokee and other tribes as they were forced from their homelands on a long journey to what is now Oklahoma, facing disease, starvation, and death along the way.
Slide 5 WestCal Political Science 5 Western Political Thought 2016WestCal Academy
Political Science 5 - Western Political Thought provides an overall perspective of major political movements of history from the rising of Egyptian, Greek and Roman Empires to Fascism and Communism as seen by great political thinkers from Plato, Aristotle, and St. Augustine, Machiavelli, Marx, and Lenin. Students will analyze the most important ideas and theories that have been developed from the time of the ancient Greeks to the present day. Students will learn that the American Founding Fathers designed a viable representative government by first dedicating themselves to careful study of the political philosophy of Europeans, with particular attention given to British political thinkers from the 16th and 17th century. The founding fathers focused primarily on the natural rights of man, which in turn varied according to the individual philosopher studied. Over the course of their study, the founding fathers openly discussed their opinions with one another so as to properly bring forth differing views in order to prudently construct a government that would protect individual liberty, as well as determine what was required of government to protect civil liberties. The class is taught from the perspective of industry professionals with knowledge of how classical and modern political continues to influence American government. Students will learn of multiple career options relating to the field of political science.

This document provides information about a social media contest from the Teaching Florida and Florida Humanities Council organizations. It includes links to the organizations' Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, and LinkedIn pages. Participants are asked to answer 4 questions about the causes of the Civil War, Florida's role, perspectives discussed in textbooks, and how they teach the Civil War in their classrooms. The document then provides extensive background information and references on the causes of the Civil War and Florida's involvement.
The document discusses the history of African American philanthropy in the 20th century United States. It covers influences on philanthropy including historical, political, economic, social and religious factors. Key events and movements discussed include the Civil Rights Movement, desegregation of schools, and leaders such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Booker T. Washington. The document also examines current trends in African American philanthropy such as national conferences and the rise of "philanthromedia."
The Civil Rights Movement in the United States from 1955-1968 aimed to outlaw racial discrimination against African Americans and restore voting rights in Southern states. Led by figures like Martin Luther King Jr., the movement used nonviolent protests like bus boycotts, sit-ins, and marches to advocate for civil rights and racial equality. King's iconic "I Have a Dream" speech at the 1963 March on Washington helped raise awareness of ongoing issues of racism and injustice. The movement achieved several important victories, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965, but also continued to face resistance from segregationists.

The Citizens’ Movement to Revive the Spirit of Public Service
^ On July 4th, 2023, The Center for American Studies <www.concord- ium.us> launched WE THE PEOPLE: The Citizens’ Movement to Revive the Spirit of Public Service in Concord, Massachusetts, the crucible of the American Revolution, where the shot was fired “heard ‘round the world.”
The vision of The Citizens’ Movement to Revive the Spirit of Public Service was granted to Stuart-Sinclair Weeks north of Concord in Littleton, NH, on January 6TH and 7th, 2016 during New Hampshire’s primary season at the conclusion of a county political party meeting. At the time, Stuart-Sinclair was managing a NH gubernatorial campaign and had run Dennis Kucinich’s 2000 “First-in-the-Nation” presidential campaign. Stuart-Sinclair’s family had served for the last 9 generations in state or national office.
The Citizens’ Movement offers a response to George Washington’s resounding words from his Farewell Address: “... Let me now take a more comprehensive view and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the Spirit of Party.” Simply expressed, We the People have some catching up to do, a good two centuries and a quarter worth of catching up. The party/parties is/are over, we suggest, drawing to their fitful, divisive, and partisan end.
The purpose of the Citizens’ Movement is to work with progressive leaders in all of our existing parties to lay to rest, put out of its misery, give its last rites, and pay our respects to that divisive partisan spirit that seeks to divide and conquer us, our Dis-United States, that seeks to hold sway over our land.
The Citizens’ Movement to Revive the Spirit of Public Service encourages fellow citizens to step forward and assume the mantle of the Constitutional office to which they feel called. The offices we refer to range from president all the way up to local servants, public servants — in the spirit of Dr. King’s words: “Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve.” Specifically, fellow citizens are called to step forward as standard (flag) bearers and placeholders on behalf of We, The People.
On Patriot’s Day, the 19th of April, 2023, “The Citizens’ Movement to Revive the Spirit of Public Service” was inaugurated at Concord’s historic Old North Bridge, with leaders and representatives of America’s major political parties.

Silicofluorides as a risk factor for lead absorptioncambridgeweb
This document discusses how silicofluorides increase the uptake and absorption of lead in the body. When added to water supplies, silicofluorides form residues that compromise the body's ability to remove lead through metallothioneins and excretion. This increases the bioavailability of environmental lead, allowing more to enter the bloodstream and be absorbed into organs. Silicofluorides also inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which can increase aggressive behavior. Higher blood lead levels are linked to reduced dopamine function and impaired brain development, which helps explain associations between silicofluoride use and increased rates of violent crime, learning disabilities, and substance abuse in communities. More research is needed to fully understand the health effects of silico
Silicofluorides as a risk factor for lead absorptioncambridgeweb
This document discusses how silicofluorides added to water supplies can increase the uptake and absorption of environmental lead into the body. It presents several mechanisms by which silicofluorides compromise the body's ability to remove lead, instead facilitating its passage into the bloodstream and absorption into organs. Studies show higher average blood lead levels in children where silicofluorides are used compared to sodium fluoride or no fluoridation. Silicofluorides are also shown to inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase and influence brain chemistry in ways linked to increased aggression and crime rates. Areas using silicofluorides have higher rates of violent crime and learning disabilities even when controlling for other factors. The policy implications discussed call for further study of silico
The Winterhaven Stand Down for Homeless and At-Risk Veterans will be held on January 21, 2012 from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Washington DC VA Medical Center.

This poem expresses finding one's true love after a long wait. The speaker has been waiting their whole life to find someone just like their partner, who fills their days and nights with true love. They sit by the window waiting for their partner's return, knowing their partner's heart also yearns for them. They have built a solid foundation for their love that cannot be thrown aside and will withstand challenges to their love. The speaker is happy to have found this love and to be able to return it.
Everlasting Love by Deborah H. Colliercambridgeweb
This poem is about a woman who finds love again after building walls around her heart due to past hurts. A new person in her life shows patience and persistence in breaking down her walls over time through caring actions. As her walls come down, she begins to feel emotions again and realizes shutting down completely is not the healthiest way to deal with pain. Opening her heart to others, including this new person in her life, helps her heal and regain faith in love.

The movement achieved several important victories, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965, but also continued to face resistance from segregationists.

The Black American Political Association of California (BAPAC) held its monthly meeting, with presentations from local politicians and organizations about issues in education, healthcare, and the economy. BAPAC is also promoting its upcoming statewide convention in San Diego to discuss rebuilding the middle class in California. Additionally, the Jacobs Center welcomed an African delegation visiting from 19 countries to learn about nonprofit best practices and community development work in San Diego. The delegation toured local art and job training programs and discussed international collaboration with Jacobs Center staff.
The document discusses three important figures in modern American history - Benjamin Franklin, Alan Greenspan, and Martin Luther King Jr. - and their significant contributions in the realms of politics, economics, and civil rights, respectively. Benjamin Franklin played a pivotal role in the founding of the United States through his political involvement and literary works, while Alan Greenspan had immense influence over the U.S. economy through his leadership of the Federal Reserve. Martin Luther King Jr. was a transformative civil rights leader who advocated for racial equality and justice through nonviolent protest.

The Citizens’ Movement to Revive the Spirit of Public Service
^ On July 4th, 2023, The Center for American Studies <www.concord- ium.us> launched WE THE PEOPLE: The Citizens’ Movement to Revive the Spirit of Public Service in Concord, Massachusetts, the crucible of the American Revolution, where the shot was fired “heard ‘round the world.”
The vision of The Citizens’ Movement to Revive the Spirit of Public Service was granted to Stuart-Sinclair Weeks north of Concord in Littleton, NH, on January 6TH and 7th, 2016 during New Hampshire’s primary season at the conclusion of a county political party meeting. At the time, Stuart-Sinclair was managing a NH gubernatorial campaign and had run Dennis Kucinich’s 2000 “First-in-the-Nation” presidential campaign. Stuart-Sinclair’s family had served for the last 9 generations in state or national office.
The Citizens’ Movement offers a response to George Washington’s resounding words from his Farewell Address: “... Let me now take a more comprehensive view and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the Spirit of Party.” Simply expressed, We the People have some catching up to do, a good two centuries and a quarter worth of catching up. The party/parties is/are over, we suggest, drawing to their fitful, divisive, and partisan end.
The purpose of the Citizens’ Movement is to work with progressive leaders in all of our existing parties to lay to rest, put out of its misery, give its last rites, and pay our respects to that divisive partisan spirit that seeks to divide and conquer us, our Dis-United States, that seeks to hold sway over our land.
The Citizens’ Movement to Revive the Spirit of Public Service encourages fellow citizens to step forward and assume the mantle of the Constitutional office to which they feel called. The offices we refer to range from president all the way up to local servants, public servants — in the spirit of Dr. King’s words: “Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve.” Specifically, fellow citizens are called to step forward as standard (flag) bearers and placeholders on behalf of We, The People.
On Patriot’s Day, the 19th of April, 2023, “The Citizens’ Movement to Revive the Spirit of Public Service” was inaugurated at Concord’s historic Old North Bridge, with leaders and representatives of America’s major political parties.

Silicofluorides as a risk factor for lead absorptioncambridgeweb
This document discusses how silicofluorides increase the uptake and absorption of lead in the body. When added to water supplies, silicofluorides form residues that compromise the body's ability to remove lead through metallothioneins and excretion. This increases the bioavailability of environmental lead, allowing more to enter the bloodstream and be absorbed into organs. Silicofluorides also inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which can increase aggressive behavior. Higher blood lead levels are linked to reduced dopamine function and impaired brain development, which helps explain associations between silicofluoride use and increased rates of violent crime, learning disabilities, and substance abuse in communities. More research is needed to fully understand the health effects of silico
Silicofluorides as a risk factor for lead absorptioncambridgeweb
This document discusses how silicofluorides added to water supplies can increase the uptake and absorption of environmental lead into the body. It presents several mechanisms by which silicofluorides compromise the body's ability to remove lead, instead facilitating its passage into the bloodstream and absorption into organs. Studies show higher average blood lead levels in children where silicofluorides are used compared to sodium fluoride or no fluoridation. Silicofluorides are also shown to inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase and influence brain chemistry in ways linked to increased aggression and crime rates. Areas using silicofluorides have higher rates of violent crime and learning disabilities even when controlling for other factors. The policy implications discussed call for further study of silico

This poem expresses finding one's true love after a long wait. The speaker has been waiting their whole life to find someone just like their partner, who fills their days and nights with true love. They sit by the window waiting for their partner's return, knowing their partner's heart also yearns for them. They have built a solid foundation for their love that cannot be thrown aside and will withstand challenges to their love. The speaker is happy to have found this love and to be able to return it.
Everlasting Love by Deborah H. Colliercambridgeweb
This poem is about a woman who finds love again after building walls around her heart due to past hurts. A new person in her life shows patience and persistence in breaking down her walls over time through caring actions. As her walls come down, she begins to feel emotions again and realizes shutting down completely is not the healthiest way to deal with pain. Opening her heart to others, including this new person in her life, helps her heal and regain faith in love.

This poem is about a woman whose life was empty after losing someone. She searched for reasons but could find no sense in what happened. She wanted to be near them every day but knows their last goodbye cannot be undone. Her love will always be with them, no matter where they are. She now turns to those who stayed and to God to ease her pain, but the heartache will remain.

My passion to support the military, veterans, their families, and their
friends stems from my work as the Director of the Idaho Veterans
Cemetery. In that role, I founded the "Missing in America Project", an
initiative to locate, identify, and inter the unclaimed cremated remains
of American veterans, helping those who have no voice. This
precedent-setting initiative in Idaho, the “Missing in America Project",
to locate abandoned veteran cremains throughout the state, and ensure they received proper
burial in the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery, epitomized one of the Veteran Administration’s
objectives, “Honor and serve vets in life and memorialize them in death for their sacrifices on
behalf of the nation.”
The Real Stories
"The Missing in America Project" has a lifetime of continuous recovery to honor our veterans
and their spouses missing throughout our nation – those who do not have a voice. They deserve
to receive the free burial promised by our government. I cannot tell you all the stories, but, in
2005, I was taken aback when I learned that the cremains of veterans were abandoned in the
most obscure places, for example in the trunk of an abandoned car, a storage locker, and in
cardboard boxes on shelves in cemeteries and other government offices.
I even went so far as to learn the true story of a WWII Veteran. His name was an alias, and I had
to identify his real name. I learned that due to his erratic behavior based on suffering from shell
shock, his wife falsely accused him of a crime. She later changed her heart and story, but he was
given a dishonorable military discharge due to these issues. I located his true name and identity,
validated the story, and petitioned the VA to change his military discharge from dishonorable to
honorable, so he could receive a proper military burial.
The First "Missing In America Project" Ceremony - The Beginnings In Idaho
Faced with the reality the stories of the above, I conceived the vision,
organized the mission, and orchestrated the first ever "Missing in America
Project" service at the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery, on November 9,
2006, with an estimated 350 in attendance. I secured funds to inter
"Missing in America Project" veterans. I coordinated the entire service
laying to rest 21 veterans and one spouse, located in Funeral Homes and
Coroners Offices in Idaho, providing them with the military honors they
deserved, for serving our Nation.
The event included full military honors in a symbolic presentation to honor those recovered with
participation from all five branches of service, including a never-done-before simultaneous table
topping and folding of the flags, Echo Taps, and a fly over by the Army National Guard Black
Hawk helicopters in the missing man formation. This project was adopted by the Patriot Guard
Riders, for consideration as a National search for forgotten veterans. I also collaborated with the
state governor and Idaho state Senators and Congressmen to draft national legislation for the
program.
In Idaho, I found, identified, and provided proper burial with full military honors for 92 veterans
and spouses from 2005 to 2007. This initiative also provides a forum for family members or
2. Richard Cesler | "Missing in America Project" | Challenge.gov Nomination Page |2
friends of deceased veterans, who may be living, to identify their loved one's cremains, as the
names of the veterans and spouses are posted in press releases and local newspapers.
Inaugural "Missing in America Project" Ceremony in Washington State
In 2007, I was selected as the Director, Washington State Veterans Cemetery, Washington State
Department of Veterans Affairs. I have worked for over four years to help design the new
cemetery, being the 'boots on the ground' from the property selection, overall design, applying
for the Federal Grant, developing the operational budget, hiring the staff and completing the
items necessary to cause the successful Grand Opening program on May 31, 2010. I brought the
"Missing in America Project" to Washington State, and to further help facilitate the Washington
State's Commitment to provide military funeral
honors for unclaimed veteran's cremated remains,
in 2008, I facilitated positive relationships with
numerous organizations, and I drafted and
successfully signed a novel Memorandum of
Understanding with the directors of these organizations
including the Washington State Department of
Veterans Affairs, Tahoma National Veterans
Cemetery, Washington Military Department,
Washington State Funerals Directors
Associations, Washington Cemetery and Funeral
Association, Washington State Cemetery Board, Washington State Board of Funeral Directors
and Embalmers, Missing in America Project, and Veteran Recovery Program.
As the "Missing in America Project" continues, on September 12, 2011, the Washington
Department of Veterans Affairs, the Washington State Veterans Cemetery, and the "Missing in
America Project" were extremely pleased to announce that 62 veterans and two spouses were
located in Washington and were interred with full military honors at the Washington State
Veterans Cemetery. This ceremony was the largest of its kind to date nationwide. One of the
veterans located was a woman who served in the US Marine Corps during World War II and was
of Native American decent.
In a ceremony that I designed, all five branches of the military simultaneously folded flags and
presented them to the cemetery to be flown on scheduled honors holidays to represent those not
yet recovered from each branch of service. ID tags were made for each veteran and draped over
custom velvet bags. A flyover, Echo Taps, and Bagpiper participated for the full honors
ceremony. Veterans were recovered and transported in part by assistance from the Patriot Guard
Riders, Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association, American Legion Riders, and VFW Post 466.
The ceremony was recognized on the Channel 2 News on September 12, 2011; and in a letter
read at the ceremony from Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rogers that stated, "It was an
honor, knowing that these veterans are now home, honored, and thanked by a grateful nation.
We know you [Richard Cesler] are the driving force and the program would not be happening if
not for you." Other news reports include an interview with ComcastNewsmakers by CNN

Legislation & Communications
My continuing efforts go to grow the "Missing in America Project"
(MIAP) includes my active role in changing both Federal and State
law, including Idaho State Law for the MIAP recovery (54-1144);
Washington State Code for the MIAP recovery (RCW 68.50.230); and
Federal law (Public Law 110-157). The changes to these laws allows
funeral homes to release properly identified unclaimed veteran remains
in their possession, prevents redundancy in transporting the deceased
or the cremains, and has saved the Veterans Administration many thousands of dollars over the
past three years. I have also worked actively with Senator Larry Craig to secure an additional $5
million a year for National Cemetery Grants program, which provides States maintenance and
operational funds so that the promise to maintain these facilities as National Monuments to our
veterans is fulfilled.
To facilitate the ongoing efforts of the "Missing in America Project" and promote use of
Veterans Cemeteries, I have spent the past seven years, building strong relationships with
members of the community and stakeholders throughout Idaho, Washington, and nationally to
raise the awareness level of the availability of Veterans Cemeteries. I draft and implement
communications strategies and grant applications promoting Veterans Cemetery initiatives.
As the project has grown, I leverage all efforts to find and indentify veterans and veteran spouses
including using records checks through the National Personnel Records Center, VA, VA hospital
records, FBI, online court records, and a subscription to Ancestory.com.
Endorsements & Award Recipient
I was nominated for and received the distinguished National
Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution
Community Service Award for the State of Washington in 2010.
My efforts were commended in the nomination letters:
Cathy McMorris Rodgers, US Congress, US House of
Representatives, said in her endorsement letter (dated September
9, 2009) written to the Daughters of the American Revolution, "This letter is a testament to the
tireless work completed by Richard Cesler on the "Missing in America Project." The Missing in
America Project plays a vital and unique role in putting our nation's deceased veterans to rest.
Over the last five years the "Missing in America Project" has made possible the identification
and proper burial recognition of countless American veterans and their spouses. "The Missing in
America Project" furthers our nation's promise to never forget those who served in our nation's
armed services."
Governor C.L. Butch Otter (ID), stated in his nomination letter: "It is
critical that we recognize the service and sacrifice of American service
members who have ensured that our American way of life can continue for
future generations. For many years through state and federal government
service, Mr. Cesler has worked on matters important to our veterans,
4. Richard Cesler | "Missing in America Project" | Challenge.gov Nomination Page |4
culminating in the "Missing in America Project" in which he played the critical founding role.
Through his tireless work he has helped to bring identification and burial to hundreds of
American veterans - work that has brought closure and recognition to the lives of these most
honored of our citizens. "The Missing in America Project" [helps] our nation give back to those
who have sacrificed on our behalf."
Fred "Ducpho" Salanit, MIAP Executive Director stated in his endorsement letter to the
Esther Reed Chapter of the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution,
Washington State Community Service Chairman: "Mr. Cesler conducted the first "Missing in
America Project" ceremony on November 9, 2006. Since then, he has been the MIAP advisor and
representative on the National and State levels. Current results (as of September 2009) include:
Total funeral homes visited: 648; Veterans Cremains identified: 571; Cremains found: 6642;
and Veterans Interred 387. Mr. Cesler's untiring efforts for our veterans is of the highest order
and demonstrates his life's commitment. Please consider this dedication to excellence and
consider him for this distinguished award."
Short Bio
Before taking on the challenge of the "Missing in America Project" and the roles of Director for
two State Veterans Cemeteries, I also served as a Veterans Service Officer for the Idaho Division
of Veteran Services, Department of Veterans Advocacy where I offered technical assistance to
veterans and their families in obtaining entitled veteran benefits. I reviewed benefit applications,
provided expertise, and ensured compliance with federal and state laws.
I am a Disabled Vietnam Veteran (United States Air Force, 1966-1970);
elected this year to serve the VFW Department of Idaho as the State Senior
Vice Commander (next year 2012-2013 I will serve as the State
Commander). I am also currently the Commander of the VFW Post 889,
Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, Past All American Post Commander for VFW Post
63, Boise, Idaho (VFW Post 63 is the eighth largest VFW in the world,
with more than 1,800 members and Past District 5 Commander); and I
have a Gold Legacy lifetime membership with the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) – National
Legacy Life Member (Advisory Board Member); Cooties (VFW); Disabled American Veterans;
American Legion; Vietnam Veterans of America; Military Order of the Purple Heart; AmVets;
and POW / MIA (Advisory Board Member).
My life's work has been dedicated to veterans and their families through my work in the Veteran
community for some 15 years. I have continually coordinated with directors, veterans’
organizations, and local military installations for the conduct of military honor services (and I
extensively studied such services and act as a Subject Matter Expert). I am pleased that the
"Missing in America Project" has lain to rest veterans and spouses who truly had no voice. My
goal is to give back to those who cannot speak for themselves. This "Missing in America
Project" that I conceived and made a reality, through many hours of concerted effort, tireless
relationship building, and navigating legislation to change laws, is grounded in the promise made
by Abraham Lincoln in 1863, at Gettysburg:
5. Richard Cesler | "Missing in America Project" | Challenge.gov Nomination Page |5
"Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this
continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the
proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a
great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived
and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of
that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those
who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we
should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground.
The brave men, living and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far
above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long
remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is
for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they
who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be
here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these
honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave
the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these
dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new
birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the
people shall not perish from the earth."
