Dear Resident:
Welcome to fall and the return of our early winter residents! After a very warm and some what dry summer we certainly welcome
the return of fall. With fall comes the start of the holiday season which is a great time to renew those family commitments!
V
eterans Day in the Village th
will be celebrated on Saturday, November 10 at Osborne Park. It is only appropriate that
we remind ourselves of the sacrifice that our men and women in our armed forces have made and continue to make throughout the
history of our country.
Please join us at Osborne Park for the celebration.
One of the rarities of Osborne Park is the fact that it is one of the few parks that is named after an individual. Osborne Park is
nd
named after Ronald G. Osborne who was a 2 Lieutenant in the United States Army and was a resident of the Village of North Palm
Beach. The Army presented the Village with a certificate of appreciation for their patriotic civilian service on 18 March 19
The citation reads as follows: “Appreciation is expressed to Mayor Tomas F. Lewis and the citizens of North Palm Beach, Florida
in recognition of their outstanding contributions toward fostering better public understanding of the mission of the United States in
Vietnam. For three years Mayor Lewis and the Village Council have saluted the military forces in Vietnam with a Veterans Day
Proclamation designed especially for them through extensive efforts. Mayor Lewis and the residents of North Palm Beach dedi-
nd
cated one of the parks in the community as the Ronald Osborne Park in tribute to the memory of a local resident, 2 Lieutenant
Ronald G. Osborne, who was killed in action in Vietnam while serving with the United States Army. Through their unselfish attitude
and personal interest they rendered an invaluable service to the United States Army and their Country. These acts of patriotism
reflect great credit upon Mayor Lewis and the citizens of the City of North Palm Beach.” Signed/J.L.Throckmorton, Lieutenant
General, U.S.Army.
68.
That same patriotic and caring attitude as expressed above continues to live on here in the Village when North Palm Beach adopted
ndthrdth
the Headquarters Unit of the 2 Battalion, 27 Infantry (Light), 3 Brigade, 25 Infantry Division, presently stationed in Iraq. Vol-
unteers throughout the Village spent countless hours collecting donations both goods and money in a SUPPORT OUR TROOPS
campaign.
On behalf of the Mayor and Village Council, Staff and Employees of the Village of North Palm Beach we extend our deepest grati-
tude and appreciation to the families and survivors of all those that gave the supreme and ultimate sacrifice for their country. And to
those currently serving we wish a safe and speedy return…
Military Mottos:
ARMY - “This We’ll Defend”
NAVY - “Honor, Courage, Commitment”
MARINE CORPS -“Semper Fidelis” (Always Faithful)
AIR FORCE - Integrity First, Service before Self, Excellence in All We Do
COAST GUARD - “Semper Paratus” (Always Ready)
Happy Veterans Day!
