Marine Marty Delismon remembers those he served with during Frankfort’s Memorial Day Ceremony Monday, May 29. Photos by Geoff Stellfox/22nd Century Media Memorial Day honors veterans and the fallen Brenden Moore Freelance Reporter When Frankfort resident and U.S. Navy veteran Jim Woods came home from Vietnam, he felt forgotten by the country he had served, that the sacrifices of he and his comrades were not fully appreciated. “We were forgotten about, spit on or just basically ignored,” Woods said. “I came home from Vietnam, went to work, and forgot about it for 30 years.” But today, things are different — and better — as Vietnam has been etched into history and today’s emerging threats have renewed the appreciation of the sacrifice of service members, Woods, now an engineer, said. “The community comes together, and I think the Army Staff Sgt. Dan Koch watches the ceremony.
frankfortstation.com news the frankfort station | June 1, 2017 | 5 The Hickory Creek Middle School band performs patriotic songs including "You're a Grand Old Flag" and the national anthem during the ceremony. Frankfort Mayor Jim Holland, a Coast Guard veteran, thanks members of the armed services. community today is much more about honoring the veterans than before,” Woods said. There was a patriotic sentiment in the air as hundreds of community members and several veterans packed Breidert Green in Frankfort to honor fallen service members in the Village’s annual Memorial Day service. The hour-long event, organized by the Frankfort VFW Post 1493, featured remarks from Mayor Jim Holland; a wreath-laying ceremony; the naming of fallen service members from the area; the lowering of the American flag to half staff; a 21-gun salute; and the Hickory Creek Middle School band playing patriotic tunes from the “Star-Spangled Banner” to “Battle Hymn of the Republic” to “You’re a Grand Old Flag." Holland, speaking both as mayor and as a veteran of the Coast Guard, recalled the roots of Memorial Day while thanking military men and women for their service. “Our country just would not be the great nation that it is without the men and women of our armed forces,” Holland said. “The sacrifice the comforts of home, the comforts of family to protect and defend the United States. Today, we honor deceased veterans and we thank the men and women who currently serve in the armed forces.” Veterans from as far back as World War II to service members currently enlisted participated after swapping stories before the ceremony began. Standing next to Woods, Vietnam veteran and Marine Stanley Tylinski joked, “You guys were the Navy, I was the Marine Corp. I’d just like to say thanks for the ride.” Woods, smiling back, said, “You’re welcome. It was our pleasure.” Fellow Navy veteran Valentino Sapretti, who fought in the Pacific Theater in WWII, joked that when he got to Hawaii, he was so young he couldn’t even buy a drink. Though the veterans enjoyed one another’s company and the sunny spring day, many of their friends didn’t make it home. “I just thank the Lord I’m still here because all my buddies are in the Pacific Ocean,” Sapretti, now 91, said. Frankfort Township residents Barbara Griffith and Marie Lindemulder enjoyed the ceremony, deciding to attend there versus the ceremony at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood. Griffith’s late husband William and Lindemulder’s late husband John, both Army veterans interred at the cemetery, were among the more than 400 named during the service. “This is very nice,” Griffith said. “It’s a really nice community service with the community coming together. The neighbors, the band and everything.” Lindemulder’s two grandsons are active duty service members, with one leaving for South Korea in June and the other, a linguist studying Arabic, going over to Afghanistan in September. She said this “absolutely” makes it more crucial to honor the sacrifice of those who came before. Following the ceremony, the VFW conducted three more 21-gun salutes: one at Pleasant Hill Cemetery, one at Frankfort Cemetery and another at the Frankfort Township office at U.S. Route 30 and Wolf Road. When asked what the day meant to him, Woods kept it simple: “It’s honoring the loss of my comrades, both since the war and during the war.”
