During my term as Mayor, many interested citizens brought to my attention the need for a plaque or memorial honoring our citizens who have served and are serving in the Armed Forces of the United States. In July of 1966, I presented the proposal to the Council and received Council approval. Many months have passed during which we have reviewed sketches, plans and costs. A contest was conducted by a Veterans' Committee consisting of Anthony Valencia, Commander of Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 4103 and Roy Ghilardi, Commander of American Legion, Post 355 and they have recommended awards to Chuck Thompson for Monument Design and Colette Agresti for Epitath. At the last meeting we authorized the City Attorney to prepare the necessary legal documents, and we have before us tonight a Resolution authorizing a call for bids. It is my pleasure, therefore, to introduce this Resolution providing for a project honoring the members of our Armed Forces, those who have served are now serving and will serve. As President Kennedy said at Amherst College in Massachusetts on October 26, 1963, 'A nation reveals itself not only by the men it produces hut also by the men it honors, the men it remembers.' This memorial will stand in honor and remembrance of the citizens from this community who served in the Armed Forces of the United States."
