SALUTE TO VETERANS 2020

A tribute to our veterans, Bureau County and beyond

An admirable trait found in Bureau County is the number of its residents who, over the years, have served in the military.

One look at today’s Salute to Veterans section confirms it. The names and faces of more than 1,200 men and women in arms appear inside this publication, which is a labor of love for the staff at the Bureau County Republican.

Some of these servicemen and servicewoman paid the ultimate price in defense of America’s freedom and liberty.

Many of these veterans returned from duty and resumed their civilian lives. But some might bear physical or emotional scars or disabilities from their experiences. Whatever their story may be, their sacrifices

must never be forgotten.

Looking through the pages of Salute to Veterans, readers will find the names and faces of family members, friends, neighbors, acquaintances, people they knew of only by name, and others whom they never met. By publishing photos of veterans living and dead, it encourages the community to recall their service and sacrifices. Their sacrifice must never be forgotten.

With gratitude, the Bureau County Republican produces this annual special section in conjunction with Veterans Day to remind readers of area men and women who put their lives on the line to defend our country and its people.

We are in their debt. Let their deeds and sacrifices never be forgotten.

FUTURE MEMBER OF OUR ARMED FORCES The Flags of Freedom committee, a non-profit organization, has been reestablished in July of 2016 in order to support the four large flags in Princeton, Illinois in Bureau County. These 30 foot x 60 foot flags are hung from 153 foot poles at the intersection of Interstate 80 and Route 26. The committee is working to raise funds to ensure that these flags remain flying. The weather is very harsh on the flags. We do try to lower them or take them down completely when there is inclement weather to prevent them from getting torn. The flags are expensive costing $1400.00 each. Our current committee consists of approximately 15 members who are diligently trying to get donations to “keep the flags flying”.

The original “Flags of Freedom” committee was started in 2004. They wanted to have a memorial in honor of all veterans and their families. It was decided that they would attempt to raise enough money to buy the flags and the poles. This committee raised over $320,000.00 by donations and fund raising events. The flags and poles were then purchased and were professionally installed.

In 2007 the City of Princeton took over the responsibility of maintaining the flags and the poles. In July, 2016 the City of Princeton made the statement that they needed help funding the cost of the flags and infrastructure. Since no tax money is used to support this program, some funding comes from the tourism fund.

A group met with the city council and discussed that a new committee was going to be formed to try to raise funds to help support the flags. The City of Princeton has agreed to maintain daily maintenance and minor infrastructure repairs. The City will purchase two flags annually.

We are in the process of trying to get supporters to buy a flag on an annual basis.

If someone cannot afford to do that, donations of any amount can be made to help purchase the flags and ‘KEEP THEM FLYING’. This is a great tribute to all of our veterans, past, present, and future.

A DAY TO HONOR ALL VETERANS The month of November is a special time for the nation’s veterans. While Memorial Day honors fallen soldiers and service people, Veteran’s Day, which takes place each November, is an opportunity to commemorate the efforts of all who have been in the armed forces, with a special emphasis on living veterans. While people are encouraged to thank veterans throughout the year, Veteran’s Day is a particularly poignant time to show your appreciation for the men and women of the military.

Veteran’s Day takes place on Nov. 11 and marks an important moment in history. On Nov. 11, 1918, World War I, known at the time as “The Great War,” unofficially ended when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, took place between Germany and the Allied nations on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. World War I ended on paper when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919. In November 1919, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Nov. 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

Armistice Day became a federal holiday in the United States in 1938. However, after subsequent wars, including World War II and the Korean War, veterans’ service organizations lobbied for Armistice Day to be revised so it would be more inclusive of all veterans. On June 1, 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed legislation to strike the word “Armistice” from the holiday’s name in favor of “Veterans.” Since then, Nov.

SM-PR1824954

11 has been known as “Veterans Day” and has honored veterans of all wars.

Veterans Day was moved to the fourth Monday in October for roughly seven years under the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which sought to ensure three-day weekends for federal employees by celebrating certain national holidays on Mondays. But since Nov. 11 bore such significance, many states disapproved and continued to observe the holiday on Nov. 11. In 1975, President Gerald Ford signed legislation to return the

observation of Veterans Day to Nov. 11 beginning in 1978. Should the day fall on a Saturday or Sunday, the federal government observes the holiday on the previous Friday or following Monday, respectively, according to History.com.

The United States isn’t the only country to celebrate its veterans. Canada, Great Britain, Australia and France also commemorate the veterans of World War I and II on or near November 11 as Remembrance Day or Remembrance Sunday.
