11-2013 Newslettere~ A rt �r o -Live Under the Si b *Owl 4 t'*- m _V A Message from the Village Manager —Ed Green I When I think of Veterans Day, oddly enough my mind wanders back to an event we had just before Memorial Day at the church in which I grew up. My Dad was part of the choir and each year they presented an hour long patriotic service with songs, readings and personal comments from choir members. I was particularly intrigued by Ed Green, Village Manager the event since everyone and U.S. Army veteran in the choir wore their dress military uniforms or other service uniforms including nurse uniforms, USO uniforms, etc. At one such event my Dad and a few others were asked to tell the congregation the branch of service they were in, their unit, and the battle theatre in which they served. When my Dad said that he was in the 1St Marine Division and served from Guadalcanal to Okinawa, an audible gasp came from the pews. It was at that moment that I recognized that my Dad's military service was important and meaningful to others. For years as a youngster, I wondered why the congregation would immediately recognize the importance of serving in the 1St M, life I discovered that a war corresl Richard Tregaskis wrote a best "Guadalcanal Diary" and this be newsreels of the day recountec extreme hardships, and incredibl the 1st Marines as they fought in the My Dad mentioned to me a coup he died that his unit was supp "Presidential Unit Citation" rec extraordinary accomplishments. necessary paperwork was lost away assuming the medal was i About 15 years ago, I asked the V istration to send me duplicates of had received and to my "Presidential Unit Citation" was in( There are literally millions of stor Johnny Green whose service, sacrifice, and bravery are told churches, synagogues, town halls, ` and dining rooms throughout our that we have an honored place in for our veterans, I encourage all c enjoy it, and build upon your own pei of loved ones who answered the c< OPERATION HOLIDAY C 0 We're only 2 weeks away from shipping Holiday "Care Packages" to our soldiers!

Come honor all of our veterans on November 11th at 1:00 p.m. Jeff Atwater, a fifth - generation Floridian, was elected Florida's Chief Financial Officer November 2, 2010. Guided by his family's time - honored tradition of serving the community, CFO Atwater was inspired by his parents' values, instilling a hard work ethic, a commitment to family, and a deep sense of appreciation for service to community. His late father, John Stafford Atwater, was a World War II fighter pilot and accomplished FBI agent who later became police chief of the Village of North Palm Beach. His mother was a teacher and continues to serve as a community volunteer. CFO Atwater's commitment to public service first began in 1993 when he served as Vice Mayor of North Palm Beach. In 2000, he began his legislative service as a member of the Florida House of Representatives. Two years later, he ran for and was elected to the Florida Senate where he continued to serve the people of Broward and Palm Beach Counties. After chairing high profile Senate committees, CFO Atwater gained the unanimous support of his fellow Senators in becoming Senate President and led the Senate from 2008 through 2010. In the Legislature, CFO Atwater dedicated his 10 years of service to improving the lives of Floridians by lowering taxes, protecting key investments in early childhood education, raising school performance standards and establishing incentives that attract emerging industries to Florida.
