Home My WebLink About10-2013 Newsletter (2)Coming next month: GRAND OPENING OF THE VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK! (5K Ghost Run) OCTOBER 2013 Village of North Palm Beach "The Best Place to Live Under the Sun" A Message from the Village Manager —Ed Green We are putting the final touches on the new Veterans Memorial. I want all of you to know that we will have both a ribbon -cutting and our first ceremony to honor veterans at the new Memorial on Veterans Day, November 11th at 1:00 p.m. This will be a great day for the Village and the culmina- tion of many years of planning by Council to con- struct a memorial that would honor our communi- ty's veterans. All of us have men and women in our families who played a part in the two World Wars, the Korean Conflict, Vietnam, Kosovo, or the Gulf Wars. November 11th will be a time to honor I their service. I We are expecting a great turnout. We know that the local American Legion will be here with over 80 representatives. In addition, State CFO Jeff Atwa- ter will provide the keynote address and noted baritone Lou Galterio will present a medley of songs while guests are arriving and will also offer his rendition of the National Anthem and God Bless America during the ceremony. The North Palm Beach Honor Guard will present 1 1 the colors and the flags at the ceremony and Mayor Manuel will recognize the many veterans in attendance. We hope you will attend. This will be a special event and a special place in the Village for years to come. I know the Council shares my belief that there is nothing a community can do that is more important than honoring the sacrifice of those who have defended our freedom.

Veterans Memorial Park Grand Opening November 11, 2013 The new Veterans Memorial Park that will be located just north of the Library will be unveiled on No- vember 11th, Veteran's Day at 1:00 p.m. It will provide an opportunity for the community to recog- nize the service and sacrifice of our veterans, but it will also be an opportunity for families and friends of deceased and living veterans to recognize them for their individual contributions in defense of our country. We have a number of ways that you and your family can recognize someone special to you, by creat- ing a lasting monument to their service as a part of the memorial. We have selected an array of op- tions that are priced from $100 for an engraved brick to contributions for items such as benches, a trellis, one of the many trees in the memorial, and other options. For donations other than those for the brick paver, a plaque will be in front of the donated item which will include the name of the honored veteran, his or her branch of service & other pertinent infor- mation regarding their service to our country. We are now accepting orders for non-resident veterans as well! Astronaut Capt. Robert Crippen Navy 30 Years .4 David O. Smith LJ.S. Army 1968-1971 Lcr.

The History of Veterans Day U.S. President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed an Armistice Day for 12th November, 1919, and The United States Congress enacted a parallel resolution 7 years later on June 4th, 1926. Another Presidential Declaration in 1938 created an Act to make the 11th of November of every year an authorized holiday; "a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter cel- ebrated and known as 'Armistice Day'." In 1953, an Emporia, Kansas shoe store owner named Al King had a plan to enhance Armistice Day by honoring all veterans, not just those who served in World War I. Mr. King had been an active member of American War Dads throughout World War II. His crusade to turn the Armi- stice Day into "All" Veterans Day had the full support of the Emporia Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Education. With the help of then-U.S. Rep. Ed Rees, from Emporia, a bill for the new holiday was push through Congress. President Dwight Eisenhower marked it into law on May 26th, 1954. Congress modified this act on November 8th, 1954, replacing "Armistice" with Veterans. It has been recognized as Veterans Day since. In the November Newsletter, watch for photos of the Village employees who are veterans and have served our country with pride! See if you recognize anyone!
