The Stories Behind the Names on the Bricks WESTWOOD VETERANS’ MEMORIAL PARK THE STORIES BEHIND THE NAMES ON THE BRICKS COMPILED BY RYAN DUKEMAN TROOP 3 EAGLE SCOUT PROJECT NOVEMBER, 2010 Table of Contents 1. Introduction to the stories. 2. Alphabetical list of participating veterans. 3. Video memories. 4. Stories provided by veterans or family members. 5. Appendices: A. Letter to veterans/family. B. Questionnaire. Introduction to the Stories This project started for me as a conversation around the kitchen table. I was trying to decide what to do for my Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project, and was at a bit of a loss for ideas. Then it came to me to do something with the new Veterans’ Park down the road from my house. I have always heard war stories from my two grandfathers, both of whom have bricks dedicated to them at this park. One of my grandfathers, a WWII/Battle of the Bulge Veteran, regularly speaks at local high schools and the students are always truly touched by and impressed with his stories. I was very fortunate to be able to attend the dedication ceremony of the WWII memorial in Washington DC in 2004 with my grandfather. At that ceremony, I learned how important it is to honor and learn from our veterans. Eventually I decided to compile a database of information about the names honored on the bricks at the park, and from there my project grew into what I think is a collection of amazing, diverse, and inspiring stories from almost 100 local veterans and their families. This project began by writing a letter and questionnaire, and mailing them to almost 400 different Westwood families who had purchased bricks, some living as far away as Florida, asking them information about their or their family member’s service and seeking copies of pictures of the Veteran or their artifacts. Then, over the next few months, I transcribed their responses as the letters came back, and it was so interesting to read the different experiences people from Westwood had serving our country all over the world. Many people sent pictures as well, and these are all included with that person’s information. In addition, 4 people volunteered to be interviewed on camera to more fully explain their service and tell more of their stories. There are links to those videos on Youtube with each person’s information. The histories here are the memories and reflections of the servicemen and women who volunteered their information. Given the nature of primary source accounts when dealing with events that happened so many years ago, some of the exact facts said by a Veteran may not be exactly precise (e.g, the exact date of a battle, the full name of a friend who died long ago), but hopefully you will feel that the emotion and first-hand oral history these veterans provide outweigh any minor inaccuracies. Their information and stories allow us to know and honor the real people whose names are on the bricks. This project adds to existing Westwood Veterans’ history projects and adds to the work of previous efforts to honor Westwood’s many veterans, such as Troop 3 Eagle Scout Tim Campion’s oral history project with the Library of Congress, Joe Clancy’s project to catalog the names of all Westwood residents who served in the armed forces, and the Westwood High School US History class project interviewing local veterans which are archived with the Westwood Historical Society. All of these projects honor our veterans and provide great information for the citizens of Westwood. Finally, I would like to thank the following people: Paul Mullin and everyone at the American Legion Post 320 Westwood, for their support, financial and otherwise, to get this project off the ground. Paula Scoble and Chris McKeown at the Westwood Department of Veterans’ Services for giving me the mailing lists and names of veterans, and for advising me all along the way. Sheila Nee and Donna McClellan at Westwood Town Hall for technical support in putting everything together and posting to the Town’s website. My family, my friends and fellow Scouts in Troup 3 Westwood who provided hours of help over the course of the project. Finally, I would like to give special thanks to my grandfathers Tim Galvin and Joseph Dukeman for their service to our country and for always sharing their stories and memories. And special thanks to my dad, Stephen Dukeman, who was the one to encourage my grandfathers to talk about and share their stories and made me pay attention. Please enjoy these stories and learn about “the names on the bricks.” Ryan Dukeman Troop 3 Eagle Scout Project November, 2010 The following Westwood veterans and/or family members were interviewed or provided information for this project.

  • Railway Employee Records for Colorado Volume Iii
    RAILWAY EMPLOYEE RECORDS FOR COLORADO VOLUME III By Gerald E. Sherard (2005) When Denver’s Union Station opened in 1881, it saw 88 trains a day during its gold-rush peak. When passenger trains were a popular way to travel, Union Station regularly saw sixty to eighty daily arrivals and departures and as many as a million passengers a year. Many freight trains also passed through the area. In the early 1900s, there were 2.25 million railroad workers in America. After World War II the popularity and frequency of train travel began to wane. The first railroad line to be completed in Colorado was in 1871 and was the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad line between Denver and Colorado Springs. A question we often hear is: “My father used to work for the railroad. How can I get information on Him?” Most railroad historical societies have no records on employees. Most employment records are owned today by the surviving railroad companies and the Railroad Retirement Board. For example, most such records for the Union Pacific Railroad are in storage in Hutchinson, Kansas salt mines, off limits to all but the lawyers. The Union Pacific currently declines to help with former employee genealogy requests. However, if you are looking for railroad employee records for early Colorado railroads, you may have some success. The Colorado Railroad Museum Library currently has 11,368 employee personnel records. These Colorado employee records are primarily for the following railroads which are not longer operating. Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad (AT&SF) Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad employee records of employment are recorded in a bound ledger book (record number 736) and box numbers 766 and 1287 for the years 1883 through 1939 for the joint line from Denver to Pueblo.

  • American Campaign Medal
    World War II American Campaign Medal History & Service Requirements The American Campaign Medal was established by President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9265 dated 6 November 1942, and subsequently amended by President Harry S. Truman’s Executive Order 9706 dated 15 March 1946, to be awarded to members of the Armed Forces who served in the American Theater between 7 December 1941 and 2 March 1946. The American Theater included North America (except Alaska which was part of the Pacific Theater) and South America. Service criteria for the American Campaign Medal included that the service member qualified under any of the following conditions: ● Service within the continental limits of the United States for an aggregate period of one year. ● Permanent assignment outside the continental limits of the United States. ● Permanent assignment as a member of a crew or vessel sailing ocean waters for a period of 30 consecutive or 60 non-consecutive days. ● Permanent assignment as a member of an airplane operations crew making regular or frequent flights over ocean waters for a period of 30 days. ● Service outside the continental United States in a passenger status or temporary duty for 30 consecutive or 60 non-consecutive days. ● Active combat against the enemy and was awarded a combat decoration or certificate. The ribbon design was approved by the Secretary of War in November 1942. The background of the ribbons was blue to represent the Americas. The black and white stripes represented Germany and the red and white stripes represented Japan. The center blue, white, and red stripes were taken from the American Defense Service Medal to represent the continued defense of the United States after Pearl Harbor.
