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! A sampling of some of in Memory Of Astronaut Norman the Memorial Bricks Norman Capt.

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!
