The Oath of Enlistment has been revised a handful of times since it was first created in 1775. Our nation has changed immensely during this time; however, the principle concept of the Oath of Enlistment has held true and stood the test of time. Beginning in 1775, the oath was included as part of the act that created From left: Bob Sarver, Scholarship Chairman; Benjamin Walworth, Rea Woods, Garrett Wicker, Paula Shields, Scholarship Co-Chairperson; and Bruce Greeno, Outgoing VVA 913 President.

Presenting their winning essays were Ben Walworth, Garrett Wicker and Rae Woods. Each receive a $750 scholarship for their continued education. All three are students at Branson High School.

With this, different phrases of the oath included: “this day, voluntarily enlisted myself”, “for one year, unless sooner discharged”, and “established for the government of the said Army”. This version was not very fluid and was not extremely eloquent. It is important to note that at this time, the country was still in the first steps of its foundation. 1776 saw several changes to the Oath of Enlistment. The first change was still under the Continental Congress, and was much more eloquent than the previous version: with phrases including: Ben Walworth. Branson Globe photo) “to be true to the United States of America”, “honestly and faithfully”, and “observe and obey the orders of the Continental Congress”. Then, the next change in 1776 applied to the Officer Oath and made it extremely focused on the Revolutionary War, referencing the “Thirteen United States of America” and no allegiance to “George the third, king of Great Britain”. The next set of changes to the oath occurred in 1778.

Rather than the “Thirteen United States of America”, it was referenced as the “United States of America” and still mentioned King George III. Then, in 1789 the first oath under the United States Constitution was created. This oath is very similar to the current oath, but was substantially different than the previous oath from 1778, for the United States of America had officially been created. Furthermore, it was much more eloquent and flowed in a manner that was logical and clear. After this, the Oath for Officers was changed in 1830 to match more of the changes to the regular Oath of Enlistment. This oath was lengthened and expanded in 1862, but shortened and simplified in 1884. Then, the Oath for Officers was changed again in 1959 which is the version that remains in place today. The next time the Oath of Enlistment was revised was in 1960, and the new version became effective in 1962. This version combined several of the different phrases from the 1789 version to improve overall flow and clarity. One more key change was the addition of the phrase “So help me God”. Over time, this became a standard for many different oaths including some judicial oaths, the Presidential Oath (even though it is not required by law), the Oath of Citizenship (optional), and in many oaths to public office for officials in certain states. To summarize, many changes have occurred from the first Oath of Enlistment in 1775, to the current Oath of Enlistment (last revised in 1960). However, protecting the land of the free, our home has prevailed. The revisions have been much needed, for our country has vastly changed since 1775. The Oath of Enlistment is something we need to take pride in and must continue to honor, to respect all active duty service members and veterans. Break down each segment of the oath and explain what it means to you. “I, ____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;” I believe the first part of the Oath of Enlistment is arguably the most impactful segment to me. The men and women who take this oath are promising to defend our country against anyone who poses a threat. By making this promise, there is no going back. This is serious, not something to throw around or to take lightly. The individuals who take this oath are making the selfless choice to serve their country. They are fighting for what our founding fathers set forth and all the ideals of debransonglobe.com mocracy and government set forth in the Constitution. The United States Constitution represents everything our nation has fought for, and will continue to represent. So many people have dedicated their lives and have even given their lives protecting our freedoms. We must honor these individuals and continue to fight for what we believe in, and what is near to our heats. Members of the Armed Services must not only defend against anything that threatens the United States, but must also support each other and stand true in their beliefs. They represent our nation, our values, and our ideals. These men and women are the true embodiment of the United States Constitution, constantly fighting to keep the United States a free and independent nation. It is important to note that the United States faces threats and enemies on all fronts: both foreign and domestic. The men and women of the Armed Services are protecting us across the globe; they provide full-range, comprehensive protection and defense. “...that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same;” I believe the key word of this segment is “true”. Individuals who take this oath must SEE WALWORTH ESSAY, PAGE 3 ׉ 7cassandra://OZ-S1Fh5mFv2eMxWAlNznN8nkKsaSD68lHdBXuAJr_4v`^7RH׉Ebransonglobe.com LOCAL • WALWORTH ESSAY Continued from page 2 wholeheartedly believe, trust and pledge loyalty to the United States. It places emphasis on authentic, real, full-fledged faith and allegiance. you cannot partially “buy-in” or support these ideals, but you must fully promise to uphold them. Having faith is trusting the process. Being faithful means having complete confidence in someone or something, and not letting doubt take hold. Pledging allegiance is something that most individuals do on a regular basis to our flag; however, in this sense it represents remaining loyal and committing entirely to protecting our great nation. “...and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.” Members of the Armed Services must respect and follow through with the orders of the President of the United States. Individuals are not required to always agree or support the choices of the President, but they must – at a minimum – respect the office and the decisions, while doing everything they can to execute and follow said orders. This also applies to any superior officers. Individuals may not know the full picture, but they must complete their section or task as instructed, in order for the collective to function efficiently and effectively. Adhering to the regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice is of utmost importance. This was not put in place for no reason. There was thought, intention, and purpose poured into every word of this code. In order for the Armed Services to be efficient in all their dealings, there must be a level of regulation, especially in regard to internal dealings. A written system of discipline that is uniform, is necessary to promote impartiality. Finally, it is important to make reference to God, for you must have His support for all that you do. Through Him, all things are possible. (Editor’s Note: Branson Globe hopes you enjoy reading the thoughts of these young people, and will wish them well in their future endeavors.

A roll-up is a company that is built by acquiring smaller companies with common services or products. These smaller businesses generally operate in a fragmented industry and lack strong management and capital. Combining forces can create efficiencies, marketing depth, buying power and access to less expensive capital. Any industry with a comfortable twenty percent or more profit margins and a commonality of services, products and up profile is the funeral business. Other industries that make effective roll-ups are hospitals, computer technology, printing, staffing and trade magazines. There is no end to the types of companies that lend themselves to a roll-up as long as the industry is fragmented. One way you can finance a roll-up is using your company’s equity. For example, you Bob Hodgson (FILE) operations needs can be a rollup candidate. A good example of a type of industry that easily fits the rollown 100 percent of your business today, but you will own 25 percent of the companies after four businesses are rolled-up. The shareholders of the other businesses will own the other 75 percent. Another way to finance a roll-up is through private equity firms to help you with the needed money. Not all private equity firms do roll-ups. An investment banker is knowledgeable of the firms that prefer roll-ups within your particular industry. These firms can also bring considerable experience to the table beyond supplying capital. They can guide you past proven pitfalls they have learned over the years. The equity firm will not completely finance the roll-up with equity. There will be some debt involved. The businesses you propose rolling up should have adequate cash flow to service the debt.

As a native of Iowa, I’ve had just about every kind of burger you can imagine. I would like to say I’ve enjoyed all those burgers, but if you knew the composition of some of them... Iowa is well-known for a type of loose meat sandwich, introduced in 1926, and known as a Maid-Rite. No burger patty here, this is crumbled burger, browned well, drained and treated with a magic potion that makes a plain loose meat sandwich a crave-able masterpiece. I don’t know what that magic is, and I don’t want to know because then it wouldn’t be “magic” now would it? You can still get a real Maid-Rite at 20 restaurants in Iowa, plus three here in Missouri: Hannibal, Lexington and Rolla. See maid-rite.com for the details. If you’re not up for the road-trip, I do have a really good, kid-friendly solution for you. Spoonburgers, a recipe featured in ketchup ads in the 1960s, were a staple in my childhood home. Of course, I took the recipe with me for my own kids. Spoonburgers are actually more like a sloppy joe, yet not so sweet. They use just four ingredients, so June 7-9, 2020 • 7 they make a quick, hassle-free lunch or supper. Spoonburgers You need: 1 lb. ground beef 1-10.75 oz condensed chicken gumbo soup 1/4 ketchup 2 Tbsp. prepared mustard Cook the beef until well browned, breaking up into crumbles. Drain well. Stir in the soup (do not dilute), ketchup and mustard. Simmer until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve on toasted buns. If you’re feeling adventurous, add chopped onion, chopped tomato, jalapenos or cheese. The mixture also is great as a topping for baked potatoes. A classic Spoonburger.

Camden County Health Department reported Friday that a person from Boone County who had attended the parties tested positive for the virus.

Social media postings of the event showed large crowds of mostly young people without masks and not adhering to social distancing guidelines at pools along the central Missouri lake that is a popular weekend getaway spot. The pictures and video of crowds at the lake prompted a public outcry and led health officials to urge anyone who attended the parties to self-quarantine for 14 days.

Law expands absentee voting in Missouri during pandemic COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Missouri Gov. Mike Parson on Thursday signed a bill into law that will allow people to vote by mail this year if they’re concerned about the coronavirus. Voters currently can request absentee ballots only if they provide an excuse for why they can’t vote in person. Illness is one option, but the law isn’t explicit on whether the illness excuse covers healthy voters concerned about catching or spreading COVID-19. Under the new law, people considered at-risk of the coronavirus — those age 65 and older, living in a long-term care facility or with certain existing health problems — could vote absentee without needing to have their ballot notarized. Anyone else could cast a mailin ballot but would need to get it notarized. “Any Missourian affected by COVID-19 should still be able to vote, including those who are sick or considered at-risk,” Parson said in a statement. The law expires at the end of this year. Also on Thursday, Parson said there have been no new reported outbreaks of the coronavirus at nursing homes and other long-term care facilities for two days. But 13 inmates at the jail in Saline County have tested positive, said Sheriff Cindi Mullins. Only one of the inmates who tested positive reported symptoms, Mullins said. No staff members tested positive, KMIZ reports. Statewide reported cases of COVID-19 reached 14,057 Thursday, up 290 cases from the day before. At least 786 people have died from the virus. For most people, the coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks.

Blunt wants more federal police reviews JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri’s Republican U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt on Wednesday called on the U.S. attorney general to act in response to nationwide protests against police brutality following the death of George Floyd. “In the wake of the recent tragic deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery, Americans are rightfully demanding justice and accountability,” Blunt wrote in a letter to U.S. Attorney General William Barr. Blunt asked him to launch more pattern-of-practice reviews, which are reviews of police agencies, possible misconduct and their handling of protests. The U.S. Department of Justice previously used that process to investigate Ferguson’s police department following months of 2 dogs die in hot car while owner was in training class HIGH RIDGE, Mo. (AP) — Two dogs died in a hot car at a dog training center near St. Louis as their owner attended a lecture on how to become a paid dog trainer, the center’s owner said. Tom Rose of the Tom Rose School told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that the deaths were the result of a “terrible accident.” The owner left her car running, with the air-conditioner on high, while she was inside for the approximate 90-minute lecture on Wednesday, a day when the high temperature topped 90 degrees. Rose said the car quit running without the owner knowing it. By the time she got outside the dogs — a Labrador retriever and a German shepherd — were dead. Rose said the car may have run out of gas. “It was just a terrible accident,” Rose said. “The owner of the dogs was incoherent. It’s a horrible thing, and she was so upset.” Rose said police weren’t notified because “there was no negligence involved.” Council rejects University of Missouri early start COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — The University of Missouri Faculty Council has rejected a a proposal to start fall classes 10 days early. KMIZ-TV reports that the council voted 23-6 Thursday against a proposal to begin the fall semester Aug. 12 and hold classes on Labor Day. The plan also called for ending in-person classes at the Thanksgiving break on Nov. 20, with finals starting ten days later. The university said in a news release Wednesday that the proposal would have to pass the council before going before the Board of Curators. University leaders had suggested the change in part to cut down on travel in months when viral illnesses are more active. The council instead voted to start classes on Aug. 24 and include a Labor Day break. The council approved a proposal to move to online-only classes after Thanksgiving break and to have finals remotely if needed. the winter protests after the fatal police shoot of unarmed, black 18-year-old Michael Brown in 2014. Local police promised change through a consent decree. “Unfortunately, news reports indicate that the Department of Justice has walked away from pattern-or-practice reviews in recent years,” Blunt wrote to Barr. “Additionally, the Department of Justice implemented a policy change in November 2018 that placed tighter restrictions on the use of consent decrees, making it more difficult to pursue reforms where they are needed.” Blunt called for more pattern-of-practice reviews and consent decrees. An Associated Press request for comment to the U.S. Department of Justice wasn’t immediately returned Thursday.

Track officials had been optimistic IMS could be the first major sporting venue to have fans back in the stands this summer. Instead, the stands will be empty much like the rest of the tracks since major racing resumed in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. IMS officials announced the decision Thursday after consulting with local and state officials. “While we certainly worked diligently to run our events with spectators, we reached a point where we needed to make a final decision because the race weekend is less than a month away,” said Mark Miles, who oversees the IndyCar Series as president of Penske Entertainment Corp. “Today it’s not possible to be confident that Indianapolis will be at Stage 5 of the state’s reopening plan by the Fourth of July weekend.” Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb announced a five-stage plan last month to reopen the state with the final phase tentatively scheduled to include a return to sporting venues on July 4 -- the very day an IndyCar-NASCAR Xfinity Series doubleheader is scheduled to run at the sprawling track.

(AP) — Empty seats have been the norm the past few years at the University of Kansas, where a succession of football coaches has failed to turn around the flailing fortunes of the Jayhawks. Now, all those open seats — and short lines and quiet concourses — will be the norm in stadiums just about everywhere. The coronavirus pandemic has forced universities, leagues and franchises to evaluate how they might someday welcome back fans. While opinions vary from sport to sport, nation to nation and even state to state, one thing seems clear: Social distancing is a sure bet when fans return. So don’t expect 100,000-plus fans packed into Michigan Stadium for a football game this fall or 16,300 seated inside Kansas’ storied Allen Fieldhouse when college basketball season rolls around. “We don’t know how we’ll be coming back,” Jayhawks athletic director Jeff Long acknowledged. “We’ve modeled 15 to 16,000 in Memorial Stadium, and to be honest with you, we’ve modeled Allen Fieldhouse, and I can’t bring myself to look at it because I know how few people it will be and that’s upsetting.” Most colleges rely heavily on ticket sales, souvenirs and concessions in football and basketball to raise the bottom line to the point that non-revenue sports can be fully funded. But smaller crowds are going to be necessary to ensure proper social distancing. The virus that causes COVID-19 is most easily spread when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks and the droplets spread to people nearby. That’s why guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and World Health Organization preach separation in public as an effective safeguard. In a stadium, though, creating that kind of buffer is no easy task. Most fans tend to file through the gates at the same time, creating a bottleneck in which thousands could be in close proximity. They gather in concourses to chat or buy food, drinks and merchandise. They stand in lines at restrooms. They surge toward the exits at the end of the game. Most teams and leagues have not publicly revealed their plans for fall sports, though some are up front about what to expect. Iowa State is looking at selling only enough tickets to fill up half bransonglobe.com Will open seats be familiar sight in sports as virus fades? of Jack Trice Stadium for football games and Notre Dame has warned of fewer fans and limits to tailgating. The Miami Dolphins released a number of ideas under consideration: using every-other turnstile, calling fans into the stadium in sections, letting them out row by row like a church service and using technology to minimize person-to-person contact. Once fans return, partitioning off seats will become crucial. And those won’t just be empty seats. Teams and leagues are investigating the use of temporary banners spread across entire sections that can then be sold for sponsorship, helping to bridge the gap caused by unsold tickets. Such banners are already used to create a more intimate settings for concerts or other events, and Bristol Motor Speedway had some of them strung up for last weekend’s NASCAR race in Tennessee. Another idea is to turn sections of 20 or more individual or bench seats into temporary suites, where a group of 10 friends and family members can be socially distant from other groups — and potentially selling them for a higher price. The next challenge is keeping fans socially distant when they do leave their seats. A company called WaitTime has software applications tied to security cameras that allow fans and stadium operators to know on monitors or apps just how busy certain areas might be. A motion analytics company, iinside, uses lidar sensors to detect unsafe crowding. “We’re working on tools to overlay crowd density on top of stadium maps,” inside CEO Sam Kamel said. “These maps would then tell fans where to avoid, or when it’s ‘safe’ to get a hot dog or Coke and when the food court isn’t too crowded.” There is little dispute that the game-day experience will be vastly different. ׉ 7cassandra://BWHC6LcmNqJfUSpIwfjcrg6E-JGzUCONWEAoIU9thds̀ `^7RH#׉Ekbransonglobe.com HISTORY June 7-9, 2020 • 17 Today in History: Sports, movies and more • 1494 Treaty of Tordesillas: Spain and Portugal divide the new world along a meridian 370 leagues west of the Cape Verde islands, off the west coast of Africa • 1628 English King Charles I ratifies the Petition of Rights • 1654 Louis XIV crowned King of France • 1665 Great Plague of London: Samuel Pepys writes in his diary of houses marked with a red cross in London’s Drury Lane, meaning somebody inside is infected with the plague and must be locked in for 40 days or until death • 1753 British Museum founded by an Act of Parliament with royal assent from King George II (opens in 1759) • 1769 Daniel Boone begins exploring Bluegrass, State of Kentucky • 1776 Richard Lee (Virginia) moves Declaration of Independence in Continental Congress • 1862 The United States and Britain agree to suppress the slave trade • 1864 Abraham Lincoln renominated for US President by the Republican Party • 1893 Gandhi’s first act of civil disobedience. • 1916 Theodore Roosevelt declines nomination of the Progressive Party and throws his support behind Republican Charles Evans Hughes • 1929 Vatican City becomes a sovereign state • 1936 Charles “Lucky” Luciano is convicted on 62 counts of compulsory prostitution • 1939 George VI and Elizabeth become the 1st king and queen of Britain to visit USA • 1942 Battle of Midway ends: Admiral Chester Nimitz wins 1st World War II naval defeat of Japan 1937 Time magazine publishes the second of the only two known photos taken of the United States Supreme Court in session.
