THE VETERAN'S MONUMENT FOR THE VILLAGE OF WALTON HILLS SUBJECT: UPDATED INFORMATION DATE: 5-5-07 Dear Civic Leaders I wanted to inform each of you on the status of the project that we started as a group effort. The Village Council has approveda RESOLUTION (# 2007-20 ON 5/1/07) to enter into a contract with CARST MONUMENT COMPANY to construct the monument forthe Village of Walton Hills. The cost is not exceed $21,000.00 dollars and will take approximately 6 to 8 weeks for delivery. While the Village is waiting on the monument Mr. Dan Stucky has been asked to be the project manager and oversee the project and prepare the site. We have been offered a donation of all concrete for this project. The forms for the concrete will be done by another donation of labor. The concrete will be about 32" thick under the monument because of weight of approximately 8,7001bs. Then there will be concrete poured in the place where all the bricks are to be laid for the side walks and the center circle around the monument. The bricks and monument will all be on one level to enhance the appearance and give room for the lighting around the monument. All the bricks will be laid in a lose and temporary pattern. The reasoning that the bricks are being laid in a temporary pattern is that after researching the process of selling engraved bricks it is easier to lay all the necessary bricks into place and estimate where you want to lay the engraved bricks then replace the standard brick with an engraved one and place the permanent seater on all the bricks at one time and then that project is completed. Once all the bricks are in place I hope to have another meeting with each ofyou to discuss how many engraved bricks we shall chose to sale and discuss the detail and process of phase #2 with each ofyou. I have been assured by Mr. Stucky that we should have most ofthe project started before Memorial Day. With that being said the Village Council wants to invite everyone to please come and be involved in the dedication of the site location of the Monument for Memorial Day. I will hopefully have more information to share with each of you on this project and look forward to seeing you at the program on Monday May 28,2007. 49694/6, *94464# 6*6 9%.ca Cc: Citizens League: President Mr. Romanowski Fifty Plus Club: President Mrs. Timm Mens Club: President Mr. Reming Historical Resource Center: President Mr. & Mrs. Kainsinger Walton Hills Lake Club: President Mr. D'amico Walton Hills Owl: Editors Mr. & Mrs. Kainsinger Women's Club: President Mrs. Smith Enclosed: copy of all information that pertains to Veterans Monument .

Note the time change from past years. This yeats Village Memorial Day Se,vice starts at 8:00 am. ...The following story comes b usfrom Former Mayor ED THELLMANN. According to American Legion Post309 of Maple Heights Ohio this Is why TAPS Is played at military funerals and Memorial Day Ceremonies - One evening in 1862 during the Civil War, Union Army Captain Robert Ellicombe was with his men near Harrisons Land in Virginia. The Confederate Army camp faced the Union Army, a short distance away. During the night Captain Ellicombe heard a soldier moaning, wounded on the field of battle. The Captain risked his own life and brought back the stricken man for medical attention. Back at his own lines, the Captain lit a lantern. He caught his breath and went numb with shock. In the dim lantern light he realized the man he tried to save was a Confederate Soldier who died during the rescue attempt, and it was his own son! The young man had been studying music in the South when the war broke out, and without telling his father, he had enlisted in the Confederate Army. The heartbroken father asked permission of his superiors to give his son a military burial despite the young man's enemy status. The Captain's request was portially granted. One musician was allowed to play at his son's funeral. The Captain chose the bugler and a tune written on a sheet of paper he found in one of his son's pockets. That music was the haunting buglemelody "TAPS."

He happened to be close to Walton Hills when I contacted him so we met at the Village Hall. I gave Mr. Bostwick three beveled bricks (two 4x8's and one 8x8) in which to engrave for display at Community Days. I also gave him a copy of the tentative wording to be inscribed under each service plague and told him that you will be Bostwick finalizing this either tonight or tomorrow. An update of the project from Mr. follows: * Mr. Bostwick just signed off on the plans from the foundry that will be cutting the monument. The foundry required the plans to be drawn on their CAD program for production purposes. The plans were faxed to Mr. Bostwick and he approved them as being within the specifications of our design. * The monument is expected to start to be cut this week. * Mr. Bostwick plans on traveling to Vermont to aid the foundry in inscribing the monument. * Pictures will be taken as the process moves forward. * The service plaques are currently in production and he hopes to have them completed by Community Days so we can display them if we wish. * Upon final positioning of the monument, there will be 1/8 inch stainless steel spacers placed between the monument and the base (at least one on each comer, one in the middle of each side, and one in the center). Caulking will then be placed and smoothed into the seam. Mr. Bostwick also made some more measurements from the monument site to the parking lot for the purposes of a crane. You can confirm the final plans for the crane with him. He is also working on a rendering of the monument site that we can use for 36: '.3,8 9% ||| .#m#er #*bi VILLAGE OF WALTON HILLS ,KEVIN HURST COUNCIL PRESIDENT - 06-07 Memo: Date: 7/24/07 To: Mr. Brian Spitznagel/ Councilman Cc: Council, Mayor and file From: Kevin Hurst/ Council President Subject: Information for Community Project 07 Dear Brian As I stated in my voice mail to you. I have prepared the wording to be engraved into the bricks for Community Day to have for display in our booth. Ifyou could please take this information to Carst Monuments (Address: 1101 Lost Nation Rd., Willoughby, OH. 44094 Phone No. 440-954-9922) and start the process and perhaps we can have the bricks back before Community Day. I will call Mr. Bostwick and go over all details with him. If for some reason you can not be available then I will call Mr. Dan Stucky he is my back up plan. Could you please ask Mr. Bostwick how far along is he on the Monument and ifhe has any pictures that he can share for Community Day. Ifthere are no pictures available then we can use the large prints that I had on Memorial Day. In my research for motto's for each branch ofthe service I too can not find but only the same information that you have already shared in the your memo "Wording for Veteran's Monument':Ihave given this a lot ofthought and asked questions of many and have decided to ask everyone to please consider a single word under each emblem in no certain order. 1 feel that this will keep it simple and still pay respect with each word.

JIfillib.4/,itl,=F . e»«.ri:,ir../13,4 tyllilifil1ili. il lul 1-ill 11, liT U .. 22 OUR MILITARY The average age of the military man is 19 years. He is a short-haired, tight-muscled kid who, under normal circumstances, is considered by society as half man, half boy - not yet dry behind the ears, not old enough to buy a beer, but old enough to die for his country. He never really cared much for work and he would rather wax his own car than wash his father's, but he has never collected unemployment either. He is a recent high school graduate. He was probably an average student, pursued some form of sports activities, drives a ten-year- old jalopy and has a steady girlfriend - who either broke up with him when he left or swears to be waiting when he returns from half a world away. He listens to rock and roll or hip-hop or rap or jazz or swing and 155 mm howitzer. He is 10 or 15 pounds lighter now than when he was at home because he is working or fighting from before dawn to well after dusk. He has trouble spelling, thus letter writing is a pain for him. But he can field strip a rifle in 30 seconds and reassemble it in less time in the dark. He can recite to you the nomenclature of a machine gun or grenade launcher and use either one effectively if he must. He digs foxholes and latrines and can apply first aid like a professional. He can march until he is told to stop....or stop until he is told to march. He obeys orders instantly and without hesitation, but he is not without spirit or individual dignity. He is self-sufficient. He has two sets of fatigues: he washed one and wears the other. He keeps his canteens full and his feet dry. He sometimes forgets to brush his teeth, but never to clean his rifle. He can cook his own meals, mend his own clothes and fix his own hurts. If you're thirsty, he'll share his water with you; if you are hungry, his food. He'll even split his ammunition with you in the midst of battle when you run low. He has learned to use his hands like weapons and weapons like they were his hands. He can save your life - or take it, because that is his job. He has seen more suffering and death than he should have in his short lifetime. He has stood atop mountains of dead bodies and has helped to create them. He has wept in public and in private for friends who have fallen in combat, and is unashamed. He feels every note of the National Anthem vibrate through his body while at rigid attention, while tempering the burning desire to "square-away" those around him who haven't bothered to stand, remove their hat, or even stop talking. Day in and day out, far away from home, he defends their right to be disrespectful just as did his father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He is paying the price for our freedom. Beardless or not, he is not a boy. He is the American Fighting Man that has kept this country free for over 200 years. He has asked nothing in return except our friendship and understanding. Let us remember him always, as well as the countless women who are doing their part in the tradition of going to war when our nation calls us to do so, for they have earned our respect and admiration with their blood.

We also have Tomcik to thank for the American flags handed out to residents in attendance at the service. Each year, Tomcik and Catholic War Veterans Post #1812 donate the flags to the people of our village. Taps were played by Bedford High School seniors Brett Wilms and Howard Irvine. Maple Heights firefighters in dress uniforms demonstrated a precision drill march routine. Mayor Edward Thellmann and Councilmen Pat Day, Bob Kainsinger, Tony Tranchito and Dave Washtock were present at the service. Cub Scout Pack 958 also attended.

They had support and help from Mayor Kevin Hurst, Street Commissioner Dan Stucky and Service Department employees Dan Chatal and Brian Schroeder. Earlier this year, in preparation for Memorial Day, Service Department employees planted geraniums and petunias at the site. Annual flowers make the area colorful and inviting during Summer months, but the Viliage and Flower Committee wanted the area to be pretty and welcoming all year round. Also, most of the Alberta Spruce (cone shaped evergreens) that circled the Memorial were affected by spider mites and had to be removed. Flower Committee member Paula Johancen made a list of Perennials that together, provide color all year round. She, her husband Wayne Johancen and daughter Kindra, drove to nurseries, checked prices and sale days and purchased over 200 plants. Committee members then got busy planting, with help from Dan Chatal and Brian Schroeder who prepared the soil, helped volunteers plant, and then spread mulch over the area. The men planted the few extra Perennials behind the Village Sign at the comer of Walton and Alexander Roads. Paula asks us to be patient with Perennial plants, saying, "It takes Perennials up to three years to mature. Right now they are skimpy-looking plants. This year and next year we still need annuals for color. However, in the near future, the Memorial will be circled by a pretty Perennial garden, each season of the year." For those of us who would like to know the names of the Perennials that enhance the Veterans' Memorial, these plants are tagged: Penstemon (Beer Tongue), Avelia, Red Twig Dogwood, Box Wood, Flowering Quince, Butterfly Bushes, Coreopsis, Yarrow, Blue Oat Grass, Cone Flower, Salvia, Asters, Ugustrum and Winter Beny Holly. The Flower Committee volunteers, who have been working together since 2011, are Chairperson Jean Murphy, Virginia Barber, Rita Charsanko, Patty Day, Mary Lou Foiton, Paula and Wayne Johancen and their daughter Kindra, Ginny Mone, Ruth Money and her granddaughter Brooke, Sandy Reynolds, and Josephine Wardle. The Committee thanks the Oakwood Pettiti Garden Center for the master plans for the Memorial Garden and they thank the Fifty Plus Club for their most generous donation.
