The proclamation recognizes Rock Island Arsenal and its military commands and the Arsenal's importance to the region, as well as Davenport and Rock Island's riverfront improvements since RiverVision was instituted 15 years ago. Scott County Supervisor Ken Croken, a long-time organizer of Red, White and Boom! accepted the proclamation from Mayor Frank Klipsch. First Army D-Day Event Rescheduled To July 4, Modern Woodmen Park On Thursday, July 4, a true hometown hero will be honored by the Quad Cities community and the River Bandits at a 75th Anniversary of D-Day commemoration. There will be a pre-game ceremony for Henry Langrehr of Clinton, Iowa, prior to the game at Modern Woodman Park that evening. Langrehr - one of the first American soldiers on the ground in Normandy - will throw out the ceremonial first pitch, and the ballpark will tell the community his incredible D-Day story. Anyone who has ever watched the beloved World War II movie, "The Longest Day," already knows some of it: Langrehr is the American paratrooper who crashed through the glass roof of a French greenhouse near the village of Sainte-Mere-Eglise hours before American troops launched onto Omaha Beach. First Army, which planned and commanded the entire D-Day mission, will present a "Greatest Generation" video at the game, featuring Langrehr and other WWII veterans, as well as a video featuring the "First Army Song." If you would like to attend, visit https://www.milb.com/quad-cities/tickets/single-game-tickets and enter promo code "DDay" for discounted tickets. Anyone who purchased tickets for the previously scheduled game on June 6 can redeem them for this game. The game will begin at 6:35 p.m., with the ceremony honoring Langrehr beginning shortly after 6 p.m. DISCLAIMER: This message is informational in nature and does not constitute an endorsement of a non-federal entity.

City Native Blazed a Trail in United States Navy A Williamsport native who became the first African American to command a nuclear-powered U.S. submarine helped advance civil rights for minorities. Chancellor Alfonso “Pete” Tzomes died June 13 at the age 74 in Iowa City, Iowa. Since establishment of the U.S. Submarine Force in 1900, only a handful of African Americans held command of a submarine. Overall, Tzomes saw duty while serving in the Navy on five nuclear-powered submarines. Speaking at the Rock Island Arsenal’s Black History Month Observance in February 2015, he recalled a chamber of commerce party in Florida for midshipmen serving on a submarine cruise ported in Key West. Young women from the community were invited to attend, but there were instructions that he specifically not be invited.

Next year, the National Museum of the US Army, the first museum to tell the story of the military branch in its entirety, is slated to open. The museum has been in the making since 1814, when the 13th Congress asked the Army to create a space for the preservation of its history. One small problem, though—they didn’t appropriate any money to build it. Now, 205 years and $200 million of public and private funds later, the museum approaches completion. The result? A five-story, 185,000-square-foot, stainless-steel-clad structure that shimmers like a mirage. It’s located in a forest clearing about 20 miles south of DC at Fort Belvoir. Within its walls, gallery spaces will hold more than 1,500 artifacts. Once open in 2020, visitors will be able to come to the museum 364 days a year, for free. (It’ll be closed on Christmas.)

Army Futures Command is behind many of the Army's efforts to achieve that overmatch, which include over 30 projects within its Cross-Functional Teams that are responsible for tackling modernization priorities. While speaking at the International Armored Vehicles USA conference Tuesday, Gen. John Murray, the AFC commander, noted robotic combat vehicles as one endeavor that could help Soldiers knock out defenses. During a Joint Warfighting Assessment in May, Murray observed Soldiers and Marines conducting defensive and attack maneuvers using breacher vehicles with robotic capabilities at Yakima Training Center in Washington.

  • The Rock Island Arsenal and Rock Island in the World Wars
    Western Illinois Historical Review © 2020 Volume XI, Spring 2020 ISSN 2153-1714 ‘Rock Island Needs Machinists’: The Rock Island Arsenal and Rock Island in the World Wars By Jordan Monson Western Illinois University “Availability of workers… was vital to the successful operation of Rock Island Arsenal in the World War, just as it must be in any future military crisis in which the country may become involved.”1 Industries and businesses have a huge impact on the development of a community. No business can be successful without labor provided by communities, and communities rarely grow without the availability of jobs provided by businesses. In this same way, the Rock Island Arsenal has had a huge impact on the surrounding communities of Rock Island, Moline, Davenport, and Bettendorf, collectively known as the Quad Cities. Indeed, in an article published in 2018, Aarik Woods points out that the Rock Island Arsenal is far and away the largest employer in the region, and the economic impact of the Arsenal on the Quad Cities was more than one billion dollars.2 With that large of an economic impact, it is safe to say that the success of the Arsenal and the success of the Quad Cities are tied at the hip. However, the Rock Island Arsenal often goes through extreme variation in production and employment numbers, with “The Arsenal’s employment and production traditionally being cyclical in nature… increasing during national emergencies and declining during peacetime.”3 These mobilization and demobilization patterns of the Arsenal were most pronounced during the period between the first and second world wars.

  • Moline Bikeways Plan
    MOLINE BIKEWAYS PLAN REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE MOLINE ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION TEAM (MATT) Mayor Don Welvaert Jeff Anderson Laura Duran John Knaack Donnie Miller Mike Crotty Rod Hawk Dean Mathias Dan Osterman Doug DeLille Scott Hinton Dan McNeil Kevin Schoonmaker March 2011 REPORT SUMMARY In June of 2010, Moline Mayor Don Welvaert appointed the Moline Alternative Transportation Team (MATT). This city and citizen group was charged with making recommendations related to improving bicycling and walking in the community. One of the first efforts identified by MATT was development of the Moline Bikeways Plan. This plan is intended to provide a blueprint for developing a system of connected bicycle routes throughout the city and adjoining cities to encourage bicycling as a means of enhancing the community quality of life, supporting development efforts, promoting healthful activity, and reducing the city’s carbon footprint. The Moline Alternative Transportation Team recommends the following: That Moline’s Bikeways Plan compliments and enhances Moline’s Comprehensive Plan; and That the Quad Cities Area “Complete Streets” Policy shall be the guiding philosophy of the bikeways plan; and That the bikeways system identified will ultimately place each and every resident and business within a half-mile of a bikeway; and That as the location of the Quad City International Airport, and the proposed passenger rail station Moline should provide bicycle access and amenities to these facilities for all QC residents and visitors; and That the city pursue Bicycle Friendly Community, Business, and University designations as awarded by the League of American Bicyclists; and That Moline’s Bikeways Plan shall be submitted for inclusion in 2040 Quad Cities Area Long Range Transportation Plan.

  • An Illustrated History of the Rock Island Arsenal and Arsenal Island
    An Illustrated History Of The Rock Island Arsenal And Arsenal Island Part Two National Historic Landmark 71 FOREWORD On 11 July 1989 the Rock Island Arsenal commemorated its designation as a National Historic Landmark by the Secretary of the Interior. This auspicious occasion came about due in large measure to the efforts of the AMCCOM Historical Office, particularly Mr. Thomas J. Slattery, who spent many hours coordinating the efforts and actions necessary to bring the landmark status into fruition. Rock Island Arsenal Commander, Colonel David T. Morgan, Jr., was also instrumental in the implementation of the above ceremony by his interest, guidance, and support of Rock Island Arsenal’s National Historic Landmark, status. Incidental to the National Historic Landmark commemoration, the AMCCOM Historical Office has published An Illustrated History of Rock Island Arsenal and Arsenal Island, Part Two. Mr. Thomas J. Slattery is the author of this history and has presented a very well-written and balanced study of the beginning of Rock Island Arsenal in 1862 through 1900, including the arsenal construction period, the arsenal’s role in providing ordnance stores to the west, and its contributions during the Spanish-American War. This information was gathered from a number of primary and secondary sources including the author’s own files, the AMCCOM Historical Office archives, and the Rock Island Arsenal Museum collection. Mr. Slattery would like to acknowledge the efforts of past and present historians who gathered and preserved historical sources maintained in the holdings of these two institutions. Mr. Slattery is especially appreciative of the contributions made in this area by his colleagues Mr.
