Jessica Damery Leads Bellevue University to win

Here is a link to the Bellevue Bruins web site and a link to the Fan site where you can see pictures and videos.
Great Job Jessica Damery!

Bellevue University Athletics - Bruins open season with 2-1 win at Concordia

Bellevue University Athletics - Bruins open season with 2-1 win at Concordia

Jessica Damery played for less than a half but was in the game long enough to get the game winning Header to put the Bellevue University Bruins up 2-0 and hold off the late surge of the Concordia bulldogs who squeaked in a Penalty Kick rebound with less than 6 minutes on the game clock.

This was a Battle as both teams crashed into the season opener at full speed and ended up with Bellevue losing an important defender in Mere Shuman who was knocked down in the first half and left via ambulance with appears to be a concussion.

You can see the First goal scored by Alyssa Porter to put the Bruins on the board.

then as the teams battled on and went to half with Bruins leading 1-0

It was time for some Damery action as Jessica subbed in and got the Security Header goal from a corner kick which eventually was the game winner. See that Video below:

The game was riddled with bumps and bruises and although the Bruins had one teammate leave in an ambulance they came out the stronger team in the end with a 2-1 Victory.

You can see a mix video of the game action here:

I am excited to see more of Jessica Damery and the Bellevue University Bruins women's soccer!

Adding Weybright branch to the family tree

Damery World Tree keeps growing and expanding as Denny has sent me a list up the Weybright branch back to the 1700's.
More information coming as I find time to add these records in and then hopefully get some stories and more family information. I hope to bring it to the Reunion in September but who knows...

Damery Easter Skype

Image via CrunchBase

I love that technology allows us to keep in touch and see and hear family even though they are far away and circumstances keep you apart. Skype is a very underused tool for reaching out to other family members. A phone call is quick and always good too but to hear and see the other persons face or what is going on in their world can speak volumes without words.
I love that I can just make a funny face (which comes way too easy for me) and make someone else laugh. I really appreciate those I have had the pleasure of skype-ing and look forward to hear and seeing you in the future.

God Bless, he is alive and back from the dead. Happy Easter indeed.

Damery Civil war findings

Image via Wikipedia

Well after watching the Ancestry show last week and hearing about the Judd's civil war connections. I decided to look into the Damery Civil war connections and I knew about John Damery who was born in Ireland and came to America with his parents and initially settled in Connecticut some time after the potato famine in Ireland and then joined the Civil war and after having 6 children was captured during the war and died in Andersonville prison. His brother Richard Damery had moved to the state of Illinois in the 1850's and finally in 1857 to Macon County Illinois when he went back to join the Civil war fight with Company B, Massachusetts 22nd Infantry Regiment in 1864.
Always proud of those who fight for the Freedoms of the land they believe in whether they are born here or not. I am proud of the Damery heritage in the civil war and the thought that they arrived in a new land of opportunity and was able to create for them selves lives with the freedom that the United States gave them.

Isaac Damery Soccer

It's that time again! High School Soccer!

Isaac Damery is #18 and is out there on D-Fense attacking the ball and clearing their 3rd of the pitch.

This was Bellevue East's first home game the first game of the season was a freezing game and was also a loss. They are 0-2 so far but it is only the beginning of the season so we will see how this turns out!

This will be his last year so sit back and enjoy!

Damery Soccer Futbol Takes off in 2011

Image via Wikipedia

Finally some sports action for the 2011 year, as Isaac Damery and the Bellevue East Boys Soccer team take on the Millard South Soccer team.




Although the weather said it should have been 60's that day it was windy and a very cool 40's and probably felt about freezing. The game was close 1-0 at half then Millard South took off and scored 2 more quick goals and the Bellevue Bench was filled with injuries. Isaac played hard and had a couple chances near the final minute to score but couldn't find the back of the net.
I will keep the Damery world up on his Senior year and hope to have some Video of the next game, he plays in.

Family, Fourth and FREEDOM!

Site of World Trade center attack!

Here it is July 4th again, and as I grow older I realize that our Freedom and Liberty are not as secure as I imagined as a child.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from opposition; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach himself.  ~Thomas Paine

 I like to take some time and consider the cost of the Freedom I enjoy today and wonder if I am doing all I can to ensure Freedom tomorrow.
My brother and family are coming into town for a small reunion of brothers and cousins. I hope you all are healthy and free!

Find your purpose and pursue it with all your HEART!

I will be posting pictures of the food and fun, pool and pups, laughing and listening.

Damery Call For CODMW2 battle

Image by patrick h. lauke via Flickr

Well I posted on facebook for the family clan to get together and show those who dare what we are made of in CODMW2 last night ... sadly to say I only heard from my cuz Tera and she could not make it...what is the world coming too when cousins cant get together and rule an online video game?
To be fair I did give limited notice and most people wanted out of the house on a Friday night. So it may have just been logistics.
It has been great fun playing with my brother and cousins as we get to know each other better and some times we get to kill each other. Call Of Duty Modern Warfare is the game to bring us all together for good nuking fun!
See you online!

Happy Anniversary Merle & Ann Damery

Geni - Calendar

I have December 28th as the 52nd wedding anniversary for Merle and Ann Damery. Congratulations

Damery shooting rampage!

---

Isaac Damery turned 17 and then went on a shooting rampage shooting his friends and many men, women and children that he did not even know, at the HuskerPaintball.com outdoor paintball range.

Who knew a barrage of fire could be so fun! I would like to say that no one was hurt but it was a fun pain. All went home with an appreciation for the outdoors and good cover buddies.

Since we did not run out of ammo after almost four hours of paint pounding action, we will have to make another trip ...coming soon!
