Another Pennsylvania state trooper speeding
PSP Memorial
WBRE/WYOU-TV) Harrisburg, PA – Hundreds of active-duty and retired Pennsylvania State Police troopers from throughout the commonwealth gathered with friends, family, and community members Thursday at the Pennsylvania State Police Academy in Hershey to remember those who died in the line of duty.
The names of 98 members of the Pennsylvania State Police who died in service to the commonwealth were read aloud beginning with Private John F. Henry, who was shot and killed on September 2, 1906, and ending with Trooper Michael P. Stewart, who lost his life in a two vehicle crash while on patrol on July 14, 2017.
“Each line-of-duty death links to a unique story of sacrifice – not only from the men who lost their lives, but also from each of their families who felt the pain of the sudden loss of a loved one,” said Governor Tom Wolf. “Frances and I keep them, and all the state police, in our thoughts on this solemn day.”
The Pennsylvania State Police was established by Governor Samuel Pennypacker on May 2, 1905, becoming the first uniformed police agency of its kind in the United States. To mark the occasion, Gov. Wolf proclaimed May 2 as Pennsylvania State Police Day.
Starting with an original compliment of just 228 men, the department has grown over the past 114 years to an authorized enlisted compliment of 4,719 and is supported by more than 1,700 civilian employees.
It is the 10th-largest police agency in the United States. “Those of us who have the privilege of wearing the uniform today take great pride in the history of this department and in the men and women who came before us,” said Lieutenant Colonel Robert Evanchick, acting commissioner of the Pennsylvania State Police. “Whether it occurred two years ago or 100 years ago, each member who laid down his life rather than swerve from the path of duty holds a special place in our hearts.” The day included a moment of silence and rifle salute.
An online version of the Pennsylvania State Police memorial wall, including photos and biographies of each member who died in the line of duty, is available at psp.pa.gov.

We certainly wish them God's blessing. We know it is going to be difficult for them during this Christmas with the loss of their loved one. But as we said in the message tonight, the Lord will sustain us. He will provide his presence in our life and we wish for them and their families and loved ones.

STORYLINE:
U.S. troops in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar began Christmas celebrations on Wednesday with a midnight mass at the American airbase.
Servicemen and women of the 82nd Airborne Division lit candles and sang Christmas hymns during the mass which was conducted by the U.S. military's highest ranking chaplain.
Major General Gaylord Gunhus was sent out to boost the morale of troops, many of whom were spending their first Christmas away from home.
The troops prayed for the families of colleagues who had lost their lives during the Afghanistan operation.
On Saturday, Sergeant Steven Checo of 82nd Airborne Division, was killed in a gunbattle in which one enemy attacker was also killed and another wounded.
Checo was the first American combat casualty since the summer.
About 8,000 American troops are deployed across the mountainous nation, mostly along the eastern border with Pakistan.

SUMMARY
=======
Harrisburg ( HARR-iss-burg; Pennsylvania German: Harrisbarrig) is the capital city of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the United States, and the county seat of Dauphin County. With a population of 49,192, it is the 15th largest city in the Commonwealth. It lies on the east bank of the Susquehanna River, 107 miles (172 km) west of Philadelphia. Harrisburg is the anchor of the Susquehanna Valley metropolitan area, which had a 2017 estimated population of 571,903, making it the third most populous in Pennsylvania and 96th most populous in the United States.
Harrisburg played a notable role in American history during the Westward Migration, the American Civil War, and the Industrial Revolution. During part of the 19th century, the building of the Pennsylvania Canal and later the Pennsylvania Railroad allowed Harrisburg to become one of the most industrialized cities in the Northeastern United States. The U.S. Navy ship USS Harrisburg, which served from 1918 to 1919 at the end of World War I, was named in honor of the city. In the mid-to-late 20th century, the city's economic fortunes fluctuated with its major industries consisting of government, heavy manufacturing, agriculture, and food services (nearby Hershey is home of the chocolate maker, located just 10 miles (16 km) east).
The Pennsylvania Farm Show, the largest free indoor agriculture exposition in the United States, was first held in Harrisburg in 1917 and has been held there every early-to-mid January since then. Harrisburg also hosts an annual outdoor sports show, the largest of its kind in North America, an auto show, which features a large static display of new as well as classic cars and is renowned nationwide, and Motorama, a two-day event consisting of a car show, motocross racing, remote control car racing, and more. Harrisburg is also known for the Three Mile Island accident, which occurred on March 28, 1979, near Middletown.
In 2010 Forbes rated Harrisburg as the second best place in the U.S. to raise a family. Despite the city's recent financial troubles, in 2010 The Daily Beast website ranked 20 metropolitan areas across the country as being recession-proof, and the Harrisburg region landed at No. 7. The financial stability of the region is in part ...

Independence Hall (Philadelphia) - Paranormal History Profile
Independence Hall in Philadelphia
Independence Hall is the building where both the United States Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution were debated and adopted. It is now the centerpiece of the Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The building was completed in 1753 as the colonial legislature (later Pennsylvania State House) for the Province of Pennsylvania and was used in that capacity until the state capital moved to Lancaster in 1799. It became the principal meeting place of the Second Continental Congress from 1775 to 1783 and was the site of the Constitutional Convention in the summer of 1787.
A convention held in Independence Hall in 1915, presided over by former US president William Howard Taft, marked the formal announcement of the formation of the League to Enforce Peace, which led to the League of Nations and eventually the United Nations. The building is part of Independence National Historical Park and is listed as a World Heritage Site.

Part of Pennsylvania (along the Delaware River), together with the present State of Delaware, had earlier been organized as the Colony of New Sweden. It was the second state to ratify the United States Constitution, on December 12, 1787. Independence Hall, where the United States Declaration of Independence and United States Constitution were drafted, is located in the state's largest city of Philadelphia. During the American Civil War, the Battle of Gettysburg was fought in the south central region of the state. Valley Forge near Philadelphia was General Washington's headquarters during the bitter winter of 1777–78.
