glencoeanchor.com news the glencoe anchor | June 6, 2019 | 9 Glencoe residents celebrate Memorial Day at Veterans Memorial Park Todd Marver Freelance Reporter Anahi Toolabian sings the national anthem on Monday, May 27, at the Village of Glencoe’s Memorial Day Ceremony at Veterans Memorial Park. Gerri Fernandez/22nd Century Media The Memorial Day rain didn’t hit until the afternoon, allowing Glencoe to hold its morning ceremony outdoors at Veterans Memorial Park rather than moving it indoors to the Takiff Center. The Monday, May 27 Memorial Day ceremony was held at the park site that was dedicated nearly a century ago to honor the Village’s fallen World War I soldiers. In November 1921, the community planted a tree and placed a boulder at the base of the tree honoring Glencoe’s fallen World War I soldiers. Village President Larry Levin recited the words of Otto Barnett, a founder of the Glencoe Public Library, from the dedication of the park in 1921: “Honor the dead by serving the living. ... Let this boulder in witness our pledge as individuals and as a community that we shall ever cherish and valiantly guard that priceless heritage for which they died.” This year, Glencoe has been celebrating its sesquicentennial, the 150th anniversary of its incorporation in 1869. Thus, the Village has been commemorating its history this year and the Memorial Day ceremony was no exception. Levin, Glencoe Historical Society president Ed Goodale and former Glencoe Public Library executive director Peggy Hamil told the stories of Village residents who served in World War II, which included 27 fallen soldiers. Glencoe’s population during World War II was approximately 6,800 and has grown to just under 9,000. “When we look at that history, what we find is a small-sized town that produced oversized efforts in support of our nation and its principles,” Levin said. The Glencoe Boy Scouts raised the colors and led the pledge of allegiance. New Trier student Anahi Toolabian sang the national anthem. Following the national anthem, veterans in attendance were asked to raise their hands to be acknowledged by the public, who responded with applause. The Glencoe Girl Scouts laid the wreath and Central School student Rachel Miller played “Taps.” Rev. Dwayne Gary of St. Paul AME Church served as the master of ceremony and Rev. Scott Himel of North Shore United Methodist Church gave the invocation. “We’re here today to honor and remember those who have lost their lives in service to this country and fought for its ideals,” Gary said. Former Village Manager Bob Morris and Glencoe Historical Society board member Evey Schweig read the names from the Roll of Honor, which includes the Village’s fallen soldiers from World Wars I and II and the Vietnam and Korean Wars. Following the reading of the names, a moment of silence was held in their memory. “When we read the names of all of those who fought and died for their country, we should remember what they fought for: democracy, freedom for all people and human dignity and rights,” Hamil said. Gary concluded the ceremony by reciting the words of James Garfield at Arlington National Cemetery at the first Memorial Day in May 1868: “We do not know one promise these men made, one pledge they gave, one word they spoke, but we do know they summed up and perfected, by one supreme act, the highest virtues of men and citizens. For love of country they accepted death, and thus resolved all doubts, and made immortal their patriotism and their virtue.” For full story, visit GlencoeAnchor.com. Inaugural Healthy Living Expo and 5K promotes wellness Eric DeGrechie Managing Editor Staying healthy is a challenge we all face.
