Delco Vet Memorial Dedicated — Big names came to Newtown Square, today, May 11, 2013 to dedicate the Delaware County Veterans Memorial, which, as Delaware County Councilman Mario Civera said in his remarks will soon be the landmark on West Chester Pike.
The monument, an arc of pillars embracing a sculpted eagle and
name-engraved pieces of marble, is atop a small hill at Alice Grim
Boulevard. There is a pillar for each of the nation’s wars including the
present one upon which are carved the quotes from the leaders of the
conflicts mingled with the words of local persons who served.
It competes with anything found in Washington D.C. Civera echoed the words of Gov. Tom Corbett who had spoken earlier and noted that not a penny of tax dollars was used in its construction.
The land was donated by developer Claude deBotton, who described himself as an Italian born in Egypt who fled that nation amidst war and persecution to America in 1956.
He spoke of his great love for his adopted land. “Your citizens accepted me,” he said. “Your children protected me. . . God bless you.”
Corbett was introduced by Major General Wesley E. Craig who is the adjutant general of the Pennsylvania National Guard. Corbett, after his remarks, introduced former governor and first secretary of homeland security Tom Ridge. Ridge, a combat veteran from Vietnam, noted the importance of listening to veterans. He said those who have recently served in Iraq and Afghanistan have much to teach us.
Also speaking was 7th District Congressman Patrick Meehan who read a roll of the local persons whose names are quoted on the pillars; former Newtown Supervisor Linda Houldin, who noted how the push for the monument came from Newtown residents and former Marines the late Stan Short and the late Steve Neri; Guy Fizzano, who is president of the Delaware County Veterans Memorial Association; and Brigadier Gen. Kevin J. Jacobsen, who is Air Force commander the Office of Special Investigations at Quantico, Va, and is a graduate of Marple Newtown High School.
Keynote speaker was author Benjamin Patton, who is the grandson of Gen. George S. Patton, Jr. and the son of Major Gen. George S. Patton IV.
The invocation was given by Rev. Dr. Wylie W. Johnson of the Springfield Baptist Church. The benediction was given by Rabbie Max Hausen, a World War II veteran and rabbi meridius of Main Line Reform Temple and Father James Kelly, pastor emeritus of St. Piux X Church of Broomall.
Music was provided by retired state trooper Lt. Kevin Pierce and Yvette Pecorao and Christopher Pecoraro.
Everyone worked feverishly to save lives. I learned to administer anesthesia, assisted in back surgery, anything necessary. No one complained. There was not time to feel tired, to even know your feet were hurting. When a lull came, while we waited for the next wave that we knew was inevitable, we would grab a couple of minutes of sleep.

Reader Charles Martini of Upper Providence has submitted an article from the May 28, 2011 Irish Independent in which former CIA agent Michael Scheuer describes how Osama Bin Laden could have been taken out at least 10 times before 9/11.
Thanks Charles.
This can’t be blamed on Obama, btw. It’s Clinton’s fault.

It starts at 11 a.m.
Benjamin Patton, besides being the grandson of George S. Patton Jr. is the author of Growing of Patton.

Also speaking will be Gov. Tom Corbett; U.S. Congressman Patrick Meehan, who represents the 7th District; Major Gen. Wesley E. Craig of the Pennsylvania National Guard; USAF Brigadier Gen. Kevin J. Jacobsen, who is a Marple Newtown graduate; and Delaware County Council Vice Chairman Mario Civera.
Special thanks goes to developer nonpareil Claude deBotton without whose support the project would never have happened.
When a soldier is killed in the line of duty, his family eventually gets a flag and a form note conveying sympathy from the United States Government.
When a pro basketball player announces he is gay, he immediately gets a personal phone call from the President congratulating him for his courage.
His idea of courage must be vastly different than mine, or am I missing something?
