    This project was initiated by The Leavenworth Main Street Program, with support from VFW Post #56. Leavenworth Main Street is a 501 3(c) that is dedicated to the historic preservation, economic development and the showcasing of Historic Downtown Leavenworth. The Banner of Honor Project serves multiple aspects of our mission and most of all allows Leavenworth to display its pride in our Veterans! Leavenworth has the distinction of being the First City of Kansas and our rich history began with our military and Ft. Leavenworth. We hope that you take time to read each of the biographies and enjoy walking down Delaware to locate each of our banners. It has been our honor to be able to assist the citizens of Leavenworth in honoring our Veterans! This project is ongoing with new and/or renewed banners being installed prior to Veterans Day each year.

  • Military History Anniversaries 1201 Thru 121515
    Military History Anniversaries 1 thru 15 December Events in History over the next 15 day period that had U.S. military involvement or impacted in some way on U.S military operations or American interests Dec 01 1918 – WWI: An American army of occupation enters Germany. Dec 01 1779 - American Revolution: General George Washington’s army settles into a second season at Morristown, New Jersey. Washington’s personal circumstances improved dramatically as he moved into the Ford Mansion and was able to conduct his military business in the style of a proper 18th-century gentleman. However, the worst winter of the 1700s coupled with the collapse of the colonial economy ensured misery for Washington’s underfed, poorly clothed and unpaid troops as they struggled for the next two months to construct their 1,000-plus “log-house city” from 600 acres of New Jersey woodland. Dec 01 1862 - Civil War: President Abraham Lincoln addresses the U.S. Congress and speaks some of his most memorable words as he discusses the Northern war effort. Lincoln used the address to present a moderate message concerning his policy towards slavery. Just10 weeks before, he had issued his Emancipation Proclamation, which declared that slaves in territories still in rebellion as of January 1, 1863, would be free. The measure was not welcomed by everyone in the North–it met with considerable resistance from conservative Democrats who did not want to fight a war to free slaves. Dec 01 1919 – WWI: Three weeks after the armistice, and on the same day that Allied troops cross into Germany for the first time, a new state is proclaimed in Belgrade, Serbia.
