Emcee and longtime volunteer Bob Morris spoke at the Bethesda Meadows Veteran Celebration<br />
with military Honor Guards.<br />

Brown, explained the symbolism of each<br />
fold and how each one is based on the same<br />
religious principles on which the United<br />
States was founded.<br />
In addition to Morris acting as emcee,<br />
an address was given by Ellisville Mayor<br />
Mike Roemerman. A special tribute was<br />
given by Chief of Police Steve Lewis, who<br />
gave a rendition of the “What is a Veteran?”<br />
poem, which was written by Anthony<br />
Barton Hinkle and first appeared as an editorial<br />
on Nov. 11, <strong>19</strong>95.<br />
Residents serving as the Honor Guard<br />
represented each branch of the military,<br />
including Air Force, Army Air Corps.,<br />
Marine Corps., Navy and Coast Guard.<br />
Before the closing of the program, the<br />
Bethesda Meadows veterans who were<br />
lost in the last year were remembered.<br />
They included James Watson, Ken Husted,<br />
David Oller, Joe Fenier, Don Mozingo,<br />
Ralph Brandle, Henry Tapy, Roy Poertner<br />
and Howard Gleason.<br />
Due to inclement weather, the Elegant<br />
Child kindergarten students were not able<br />
to sing “God Bless America” or deliver the<br />
national anthem.<br />
“We understood them not being able to<br />
make it, but the children are a highlight of<br />
our service and they were missed,” Morris<br />
said. “Despite the last-minute changes, it<br />
was a wonderful ceremony.”<br />
