Each year on November 11 Americans celebrate Veteran's Day, which is a day designed to pay respect to all those who have served and to all who have bravely fought for our great nation. The idea was first proposed by President Woodrow Wilson in 1919 when he proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day, which is a term used inWorldWar I when a cease fire occurred between theAllied nations and Germany. This cease fire went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month and this is the reason that November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars," and this is one of the reasons the United States began recognizing the November 11 date as what is now known as Veteran's Day. President Wilson reportedly said that "To us inAmerica, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has givenAmerica to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…" Armistice Day became a legal holiday on May 13, 1938 to honor those who served in World War I. However, following World War II and other Military conflicts, the 83rd US Congress amended the 1938 act to officially change "Armistice Day" to "Veteran's Day" to include all who served, not just those in WWI. This was done on June 1, 1954 and in October United States President Dwight D. Eisenhower issued the first official Veteran's Day Proclamation. In 1968 the government established the Uniform Holiday Bill, which changed Veteran's Day to a three day weekend for federal employees celebrating the national holiday. However, after much confusion, and disappointment by some veterans, President Gerald Ford signed a Public Law on September 20, 1975 to return the holiday to November 11 starting in 1978, regardless of what day of the week November 11 falls one. The holiday is still celebrated on November 11 of each year. Many towns and communities across the country, as well as around Northeast Alabama, have built various parks and memorials designed to honor our Veterans. These areas are not just a place to visit on November 11, but most of them are open everyday throughout the year. The pictures shown with the article are a couple of Veteran Parks in DeKalb County that have been built in honor of all those who have served, as well as a few photos of US Veterans.

Patriots Memorial Park is located at the corner of 5th Street (Highway 35) and Godfrey Avenue in Fort Payne, AL The fenced park has marble benches around the circle centerpiece and a brick pathway with the names on many US Veterans on the brick pavers.

The Town of Collinsville dedicated its Veteran's Park on Nov. 11, 2017. The Park is located in a historic area of town that was once the site of the Collinsville Depot, Collinsville Wholesale and Halls Store. The stones used in the project were reportedly quarried in Collinsville.

Veteran Donates Plane To Help Train Aviation Students at Snead State

A long military service, followed by a career soaring through the clouds, led veteran Daniel Flowers to make a donation that will help future aviation students enrolled in Albertville's Aviation College, which is a program of Snead State Community College. Flowers has donated a Piper PA-30 Twin Comanche airplane to train students in basic start-up procedures of an aircraft and general and preventative maintenance practices. The contribution will help provide students in Snead State’s Airframe and Powerplant Technology program with practical training on a real aircraft. “I chose to donate my airplane to give other people the opportunity to train in aviation and enjoy the income and security I had in my life. I feel I’ve received a lot of breaks throughout my career, and I wanted to offer the same type of opportunities to young people today who want to get started in aviation,” he said. “Trainingona real plane will better prepare students for high-demand and high- wage career positions in the field of Aviation. Mr. Flowers’ generous donation will help Snead State further strengthen the Aviation program in the coming years,” said Snead State Technology Division Director Dr. Greg Randall. “The education and training through the A&P program open doors to a lot of opportunities for students. They can work in the aviation field, or they can work in other industries that would make use of their maintenance and engine training. Mr. Flowers’ generous donation gives them the hands-on

experience to make them more competitive and sought-after employees in a demanding field. We appreciate his generosity,” said Snead State President Dr. Joe Whitmore. Originally from McKinley, Flowers enlisted in the Marines at the age of 17 and served from 1952- 1961. He is a veteran of both the Korean and Vietnam Wars. He was chosen by the Marines to train as an aircraft electrician, a position now referred to as an avionics specialist. After he was honorably discharged in 1961, he moved to Indianapolis, Ind., and started a job for Lake Central Airlines as a mechanic’s assistant, an opportunity afforded to him because of his military experience. His love for flying began before he enlisted in the military. He began flying lessons around 1950.

He said he didn’t get serious about pilot training until 1963 when he received his twin-engine pilot’s license. Mr. Flowers became a copilot for Lake Central Airlines in 1966. During his career, the company changed from Lake Central to Allegheny Airlines, then USAir and then US Airways. He retired in 1995. The 86-year-old veteran currently resides in Hoover. He and his late wife, Elizabeth, were married for 61 years and had six children. “I chose to donate my airplane to give other people the opportunity to train in aviation and enjoy the income and security I had in my life," he said. "I feel I’ve received a lot of breaks throughout my career, and I wanted to offer the same type of opportunities to young people today who want to get started in aviation."
