Maritime Transportation History :
The Erie Canal officially opened on October 26, 1825, connecting Lake Erie at Buffalo to the Hudson River at Albany in upstate New York.

Elevation Gain: Featured 83 canal locks west of Troy to handle a 500-foot elevation rise.
Vision and Leadership: Championed by New York Governor DeWitt Clinton, who famously performed the "wedding of the waters" by pouring Lake Erie water into the Atlantic Ocean.
Economic Impact: Reduced shipping costs from the American interior to the East Coast by over 90% (dropping from about $100 to $6 per ton) and established New York City as the nation's primary commercial port.
Preservation: Designated as the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor by Congress in December 2000
NATIONAL DAY OF THE DEPLOYED
On October 26th, National Day of the Deployed annually honors the brave men and women who have been deployed, are currently deployed, or will be deployed in service to our country. It is a day to acknowledge the immense sacrifices they and their families make to protect our freedoms.
#DayOfTheDeployed
When a service member is deployed, they are not the only ones who serve. Their families, including spouses, children, and parents, serve alongside them, holding down the home front with unwavering strength and resilience. This day is a powerful reminder of the thousands of families who are separated by deployment, missing holidays, birthdays, and everyday moments together. It recognizes the quiet courage of those at home and the dedicated service of those in distant lands.
National Day of the Deployed is a moment for every American to pause and reflect on the dedication of our armed forces and the silent ranks of families who support them.
