VII. COMMENTS
a. Chair
Chair Kaiser explained it was a very busy time for him. New bricks were installed
because they were out of bricks. The monuments will be ongoing for another year.
They installed another 100 bricks at the Veterans expense. They moved the Gold Star
Mothers monument and the bricks are almost directly in front of the Gold Star Mothers
monument. He reported it was beautiful.
(John Farrington a"ived at 10:10 a.m.)
The Korean War Monument was discussed. Chair Kaiser explained there is a large
men's club in one of the Valencia communities and they wanted to put up six 25-foot
flagpoles for the armed forces, three down each side of the park. They would be on the
outer perimeters in line with the monuments. The flags are the responsibility of the
men's club and they would put them up only on holidays for a 24-hour period and take
them down the next day. City only has to dig the hole. The poles could be telescoped
down to half the size during inclement weather. They agreed to submit a proposal to
Mr. Magazine to forward to the City Commission when appropriate. They also offered
to keep the park clean. They wanted to have residents keep the park clean as a
project.
Chair Kaiser requested a motion to allow them to make a proposal and pass it on to the
City Commission for their review.

Meeting Minutes

Boynton Beach, FL
November 10, 2010
i. Veterans' Day, Vietnam War & Gold Star Mothers Monuments,
November 11, 2010
Veterans Day was the next day. Chair Kaiser reported the Gold Star Mothers
monument was stunning. He distributed brick order/sale forms to the members and
requested they make copies for their organizations. Chair Kaiser received two calls and
advised they were able to honor three or four Pearl Harbor survivors. A Gold Star
Mother would bring some veterans as well and they could unveil their monument. One
Vietnamese Scout leader would place a wreath on the Vietnam monument. He thought
it was nice the Vietnamese were coming to pay tribute. The Color Guards would be
simple and worked out with Lester McKinzie. The Color Guards were doing these
ceremonies four times a year now. The Rabbi is not coming and a Distinguished Eagle
would fill in for him. The vocalist also was unable to attend and another vocalist would
fill in for the vocalist. and be honored with a plaque as well. Chair Kaiser noted three
Commissioners and the Mayor would be speaking. The ceremony will conclude by 11
a.m.
ii. Gulf War & City-sponsored monuments, January 16, 2011
January 16th was the Gulf War 20th Anniversary. Chair Kaiseradvised he would invite
the British Consul General and French Consul General were invited because their
armies fought with the United States. There will be a map showing the routes on the
monument. They planned to have a memorial where they listed the battles and there
will be five or six countries listed on the front of the monument with the major divisions.
This would be discussed further at the January meeting, as well as the City Commission
meeting prior to the dedication of the monument. The City has to install the plaques.
Chair Kaiser thought the plaques could be added to the bases so they could stay with
the monument but the water would splash up and ruin them, so they will have one 14
inches wider for the City monument, which is located alongside the Four Chaplains
monument. Chair Kaiser thought the City would receive great press coverage.
iii. Afghanistan War Monument, 2011
Afghanistan and Iraq scheduled for the end of next year or early 2012.
iv. Iraqi War Monument, 2012
v. Black Veterans' Monument, tbd
The City Commission approved the three monuments in honor of Black Veterans. Chair
Kaiser has been going to the churches to gain support for the monuments and he
invited the choir to perform, but he has not had a response.

vi. Female Veterans' Monument, tbd
Chair Kaiser spoke to the past National President of the Lady Veterans to help to defray
the cost. The Veterans were picking up half the cost of the bench and monument.
vii. Japanese-American Veterans', 442nd Regimental Group
monument, tbd
Chair Kaiser advised he wanted the Japanese to pay for the bench and he was
attempting to have the Black, Lady and Japanese Veterans organizations pay 3/4 the
cost of the monument. The benches will be added as the monuments are installed. The
park looks very nice and it was requested that if the members visit the park, they pick up
any trash or dead vegetation that may be there.
Additionally, Mr. Bowman advised he was a vocalist and if a vocalist was needed in the
future, he was available down the road.
c. Expansion of memorial paver bricks at Veterans' Bicentennial park
Chair Kaiser advised the bricks were in place and they were the same exact color as
the previous bricks. He requested a motion the Veterans send a letter to be read at a
City Commission meeting thanking them for changing the name to Veterans
Bicentennial Park. Mr. Magazine advised, after checking the record, the actual name of
the park was Veterans' Bicentennial Park. No change to the name was made; however,
they did change the sign to reflect the correct name.
Motion
Mr. Bowman so moved. Mr. Gavlick seconded the motion that unanimously passed.
Mr. Magazine agreed to send the letter.
d. Membership requirements for Veterans Advisory Commission - City
Ordinance Change
Chair Kaiser advised Bob Zimmerman, after many years as commander of his post,
resigned his position. Mr. Zimmerman would be at the ceremony and would be honored
as the Chair of the Veterans Council. It was noted Mr. Zimmerman was 92 years old.
Since Mr. Zimmerman was no longer active, there would be a position available on the
Board. Bridget Roberts was eligible to be moved into the regular position, leaving three
open alternate positions. It was thought Reverend Smith would not be reapplying and
Mr. Gavlick was not eligible to fill the regular position.

War Veterans or the Disabled American Veterans were represented on the Committee.
Mr. Leuchter, who was not a member of the Committee, attends the meetings. He
suggested the membership be expanded to allow individuals who live just outside the

request, they would. Chair Kaiser requested a motion to extend the membership to one
more regular member and one alternate to include a broader membership.

Close Palm Beach County schools for Veterans Day,
former service members urge
By KEVIN D. THOMPSON
Palm Beach Post Staff Writer
Updated: 7:34 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 20, 2010
Posted: 4:50 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 19,2010
Local chapter members of the Jewish War Veterans plan to speak at Wednesday's school board meeting
to ask the district to close all Palm Beach County public schools on Veterans Day.
"If it wasn't for veterans, there wouldn't be a Palm Beach," said Charles Epstein, an 89-year-old veteran
from Boca Raton. "Students lack a measure of patriotism. When you talk to a student about Pearl Harbor,
they think it's a restaurant."
All 187 county schools are scheduled to be open on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, the federal holiday that
honors military veterans. But schools in Martin, St. Lucie, Broward and Miami-Dade counties will be
closed.
Burt Richards, the 80-year-old Boynton Beach veteran who's spearheading the organization's efforts,
said about 10 members are scheduled to speak at Wednesday's meeting and about 40 plan to attend. He
said the group has also contacted all seven board members in recent months, but hasn't heard back from
them.
Board member Bill Graham said he has spoken to group members in past years, but that he hasn't heard
from them this year. Graham said he's in favor of closing schools on Veterans Day.
"I have a lot of respect for veterans," Graham said. "If kids don't learn about those things, they're missing
part of our culture and our history."
Although schools will be open, the district said it plans to honor those who served in the armed services
by inviting guest speakers and holding activities on that day. The specifics, however, are still being
worked out.
Students will learn more about veterans in school than they would if they were off that day and at home
playing video games, said Van Ludy, the district's labor relations director and chairman of the school
calendar committee.
"We feel we're doing a better job of recognizing and respecting our veterans than schools which are
closed every year," Ludy said. "Being open is in no way being disrespectful to our veterans and the great
sacrifices they've made for this country."
Still, that doesn't appease Richards, who served for six years as a member of the 105th Field Artillery.
"Teachers can't teach what veterans have done in keeping our country free," Richards said.
Ludy said county public schools have been closed every other year on Veterans Day for the last several
years. When schools are closed on Election Day, as they will be this year, they're open on Veterans Day.
Ludy said the county's supervisor of elections office dictates which schools will be used as election
polling places. The district doesn't want to close schools on both days.
Richards said Veterans Day should be an annual school holiday like Thanksgiving, Memorial Day and
Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
