I hope everyone is doing well and are getting along ok during our time apart. I have been busy working on the Post website (www.vfw10380.org). If you get a chance, please take a look at it and let me know what you think– good or bad!
Update on the events we usually have this time of year:
The informal Flag Retirement Ceremony in March was cancelled
The Cars and Courage Car Show in April was cancelled and the Cruise-Ins at Christine’s postponed
Our March, April and May meetings were cancelled
Poppy Days at Kroger in May were cancelled
Memorial Day “Ceremony” has been thoughtfully redesigned by comrade Bill Ostermeyer to allow everyone an opportunity continue to honor and remember our deceased Veterans (see page 3)
The Post 10380 Memorial Golf Outing in June is cancelled
The Green Township July 4th Concert and Fireworks are cancelled
Our Charity giving will be reduced this year due to loss of income from the Golf Outing, Post Sponsorships, July 4th Concert and Fireworks (beer sales) and donations from Memorial Day Poppy Days.
Our Rent Raffle drawings will be held at our next meeting, hopefully, in June. At this time, we anticipate June 18 will be our return to monthly meetings and following current safe guidelines (face coverings, hand washing, etc.)
We were notified by the State of Ohio VFW that our April election of Post officers must be conducted with a minimum of 5 members present, and results must be submitted by May. We were able to hold our election electronically, with a total of 8 members present to vote, on April 16, the date of our April meeting. Everyone that was nominated was elected resulting in no change in elected officers; appointed positions also remain the same.
New News:
We welcome two new members: Pat Mulvaney, recruited by Bill Rocklin and Joel Dulashanti, who was an at-large member who recently moved to the area. You might remember that Joel visited our Post meeting a couple of years ago at the invitation from our Post Purple Heart members. As usual, Joel was treated with comradeship which he remembered when he looked for a Post to join. He picked ours!
Thank you comrades! Stay healthy and be safe! We should be together soon! Mike

Celebrating Major Ed Burke’s 100th Birthday!
In April, Green Township Trustees, VFW Post 10380 comrades and friends joined in wishing Ed an unusual, but
memorable, Happy Birthday due to the Coronavirus quarantine. Observing the 6’ social distancing, everyone sang
Happy Birthday and clapped as a parade of Green Township Police Department, with sirens wailing,
came to a stop at Ed’s home, exited the cars, and saluted this local American Hero.
Happy 100th Birthday
Ed Burke!

Legacy of Courage II, New Stories of Honor Flight Veterans
by Cheryl Popp and Peter Bronson
More than seventy years have passed, but Ed Burke still cannot speak about what he saw at Omaha
Beach during the Normandy invasion. The words die in his throat, choked by scars and pain. “I still
sort of break up when I talk about that,” he said, dipping his head to wipe reddened eyes. “I get
emotional.”
One young man who died there still reminds him that death in battle is random and indifferent: 1st
Lieutenant Joseph Phillipson.
“We had just landed and took turns leading. He was my youngest platoon commander, and it was his
turn. He was a good-looking kid from California. We were going through hedgerows and one of the
men stepped on Bouncing Betty mine. It killed Joe and his staff sergeant. But another man there with
them survived. It just blew his shirt off and he wasn’t touched. Somehow he was protected.”
Almost seventy years later, Burke returned to Normandy and visited the cemetery where Phillipson was buried. He found the
California boy’s cross along with others that marked the graves of men under his command.
Capt. Burke has the distinction of being the only company commander in the 821st Tank Destroyer Battalion who made it through
from D-Day to the end of the war without being killed, wounded, captured or sent to the hospital with battle fatigue. He found in
some of the most vicious battles in Europe, earning ten combat decorations for valor. He clutched the ground under tanks and
jeeps as enemy bullets tore through steel and artillery shook the earth. He had to issue the orders and watch his men die.
But nothing was harder than writing letters home to their mothers and fathers. “It was terrible, terrible. Especially if I knew the
guy. That was just a terrible letter to write.”
Unlike so many veterans who were followed home by nightmares, he came home and never lost a wink of sleep. “I had no
problems whatsoever,” he said. “I was so overjoyed to get home in one piece. The only thing that kept me going was prayer.
There are no atheists in foxholes or Tank Destroyers. Prayer was the only thing that brought me home. My family, friends and
future wife, Betty Lou Hudepohl, were praying for me.”
They were nearly married before he shipped out. “But I didn’t know if I would come back,” he said. So they waited.
Five days after he came home they had a wedding. Within five more days he was enrolled in law school at the University of
Cincinnati—doing what so many veterans did in those years: He left death and war behind as far and as fast as possible, and got
on with the business of life.
Most men who served in World War II enlisted or were drafted when the U.S. entered the war after the surprise attack on Pearl
Harbor in 1941. But Burke started to plan for his service as early as 1938. As a student at St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati, he
began to notice that, “All the worldwide news was about Hitler and his invasion (of Czechoslovakia). I thought I’d better get some
training.”
He aimed for something reasonably protected. “I thought I’d get in the artillery and be ten miles back from the front lines, where
I’d be safe.”
Instead he wound up commanding Tank Destroyers that not only fought in the front lines, but often attacked ahead of the infantry.
Burke took his ROTC commission from Xavier University in 1942. The day after his graduation he was on a train to Fort Bragg,
North Carolina, the off to Texas.
“We were getting a terrible beating in North Africa. We were completely outmatched by the Germans’ Tiger and Panther tanks.
They decided we needed something to combat those tanks so in August of 1942 they opened the Tank Destroyer School at Camp
Hood, Texas.
Their motto and mission was to “SEEK, STRIKE and DESTROY” enemy tanks.
“One of the Tank Destroyer battalions needed a man, so they grabbed me and I went to Europe with the 29th Infantry. Our motto
was ‘Let’s go’.”

Chicago informing him that, on February 27, 2012, by decree of The President of
the French Republic, he was chosen to receive the Knight of the Legion of

History of Memorial Day
Jack Snyder
Public Health
Three years after the Civil War ended, on May 5, 1868, the head of an organization of Union veterans — the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) — established Decoration Day as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers. Maj. Gen. John A. Logan declared that Decoration Day should be observed on May 30. It is believed that date was chosen because flowers would be in bloom all over the country.
The first large observance was held that year at Arlington National Cemetery, across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C.
The ceremonies centered around the mourning-draped veranda of the Arlington mansion, once the home of Gen. Robert E. Lee. Various Washington officials, including Gen. and Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant, presided over the ceremonies. After speeches, children from the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Orphan Home and members of the GAR made their way through the cemetery, strewing flowers on both Union and Confederate graves, reciting prayers and singing hymns.
Local Observances Claim To Be First Local springtime tributes to the Civil War dead already had been held in various places. One of the first occurred in Columbus, Miss., April 25, 1866, when a group of women visited a cemetery to decorate the graves of Confederate soldiers who had fallen in battle at Shiloh. Nearby were the graves of Union soldiers, neglected because they were the enemy. Disturbed at the sight of the bare graves, the women placed some of their flowers on those graves, as well.
Today, cities in the North and the South claim to be the birthplace of Memorial Day in 1866. Both Macon and Columbus, Ga., claim the title, as well as Richmond, Va. The village of Boalsburg, Pa., claims it began there two years earlier. A stone in a Carbondale, Ill., cemetery carries the statement that the first Decoration Day ceremony took place there on April 29, 1866. Carbondale was the wartime home of Gen. Logan. Approximately 25 places have been named in connection with the origin of Memorial Day, many of them in the South where most of the war dead were buried.
Official Birthplace Declared In 1966, Congress and President Lyndon Johnson declared Waterloo, N.Y., the “birthplace” of Memorial Day. There, a ceremony on May 5, 1866, honored local veterans who had fought in the Civil War. Businesses closed and residents flew flags at half-staff. Supporters of Waterloo’s claim say earlier observances in other places were either informal, not community-wide or one-time events.
By the end of the 19th century, Memorial Day ceremonies were being held on May 30 throughout the nation. State legislatures passed proclamations designating the day, and the Army and Navy adopted regulations for proper observance at their facilities.
It was not until after World War I, however, that the day was expanded to honor those who have died in all American wars. In 1971, Memorial Day was declared a national holiday by an act of Congress, though it is still often called Decoration Day. It was then also placed on the last Monday in May, as were some other federal holidays.
Some States Have Confederate Observances Many Southern states also have their own days for honoring the Confederate dead. Mississippi celebrates Confederate Memorial Day on the last Monday of April, Alabama on the fourth Monday of April, and Georgia on April 26. North and South Carolina observe it on May 10, Louisiana on June 3 and Tennessee calls that date Confed-erate Decoration Day. Texas celebrates Confederate Heroes Day January 19 and Virginia calls the last Monday in May Confeder-ate Memorial Day.
Gen. Logan’s order for his posts to decorate graves in 1868 “with the choicest flowers of springtime” urged: “We should guard their graves with sacred vigilance. ... Let pleasant paths invite the coming and going of reverent visitors and fond mourners. Let no neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the coming generations that we have forgotten as a people the cost of a free and undivided republic.”
The crowd attending the first Memorial Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery was approximately the same size as those that attend today’s observance, about 5,000 people. Then, as now, small American flags were placed on each grave — a tradition followed at many national cemeteries today. In recent years, the custom has grown in many families to decorate the graves of all departed loved ones.
The origins of special services to honor those who die in war can be found in antiquity. The Athenian leader Pericles offered a tribute to the fallen heroes of the Peloponnesian War over 24 centuries ago that could be applied today to the 1.1 million Americans who have died in the nation’s wars: “Not only are they commemorated by columns and inscriptions, but there dwells also an unwritten memorial of them, graven not on stone but in the hearts of men.”
To ensure the sacrifices of America’s fallen heroes are never forgotten, in December 2000, the U.S. Congress passed and the president signed into law “The National Moment of Remembrance Act,” P.L. 106-579, creating the White House Commission on the National Moment of Remembrance. The commission’s charter is to “encourage the people of the United States to give something back to their country, which provides them so much freedom and opportunity” by encouraging and coordinating commemorations in the United States of Memorial Day and the National Moment of Remembrance.
The National Moment of Remembrance encourages all Americans to pause wherever they are at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day for a minute of silence to remember and honor those who have died in service to the nation. As Moment of Remembrance founder Carmella LaSpada states: “It’s a way we can all help put the memorial back in Memorial Day.” Source: https://www.va.gov/opa/speceven/memday/history.asp

Old Hickory Division to Receive Presidential Unit Citation
by Kyle Rempfer March 18, 2020
1 K
A red rose is placed on the headstone of John Iannuzzo, a 30th Infantry Division soldier killed in action in 1944. His headstone remains at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in France. (David Vincent/AP) President Donald Trump has directed the Army to award the Presidential Unit Citation to the 30th Infantry Division, the White House said in a statement Tuesday evening (March 17). Eight units within the 30th were already recognized for their actions in the European theater of World War II after the war. However, the president has directed the Army to honor the remainder of the division for their actions during the battle of Mortain, France. “This action rightfully recognizes our Veterans who triumphed against incredible odds, as well as those who died during a critical battle that helped ensure the Allied victory in Europe,” the president said in his statement. “Nicknamed the ‘Old Hickory Division’ because its soldiers hailed from National Guard units from North and South Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia – all states closely associated with President Andrew Jackson – the 30th Division Soldiers proved as tough as their unit’s namesake,” the statement reads. Soldiers from the 30th took up defensive positions around the small town of Mortain after relieving the st Infantry Division on Aug. 6, 1944. Following the Normandy invasion two months earlier, the German High Command was preparing for a massive counter -offensive to “throw the Allied Armies back into the sea,” according to a National Guard history of the battle. Adolf Hitler ordered the movement of large amounts of infantry and armor into the area near Mortain, located roughly 150 miles from Paris. Old Hickory soldiers awoke in their foxholes to an attack by an entire German Panzer Corps meant to break their lines. “They found themselves confronted by overwhelming enemy armor, and the German Panzers broke through their lines, ” the president’s statement reads. "The Old Hickory Division, however, did not stop fighting. It pressed its cooks, clerks, and drivers into service as riflemen." The 30th’s artillery began a barrage of fire meant to beat back the German forces encircling American troops. The cannons were joined at daybreak by U.S. and U.K. close air support, which devastated German tanks and mechanized columns attempting to reach the French coast. By the afternoon of Aug. 7, the German attack had stalled in its tracks, and the 30th ’s soldiers began a counterattack to relieve its trapped elements. Five more days of intense fighting followed. “More than 2,000 Old Hickory Soldiers were killed or wounded during the weeklong battle, but their efforts and sacrifice would have a profound impact on the course of history,” the president’s statement concluded. Today, the 30th is still around in the form of the North Carolina National Guard ’s 30th Armored Brigade Combat Team, which retains the same unit patch as the old division. The 30th ABCT most recently deployed to Kuwait in November. Bradley fighting vehicles from the unit were temporarily sent into Syria to guard oil fields from a potential Islamic State resurgence last fall. Kyle Rempfer is a staff reporter for Military Times, focusing on the U.S. Army. He served an enlistment as an Air Force Special Tactics CCT and JTAC.
