1 Cape Gazette Veterans gather in Rehoboth to mark their special day Nov 18, Source: Submitted Veterans Day keynote speaker Capt. William H. J. Manthorpe, USN (Ret.) prepares for his speech at the Bandstand in Rehoboth. In commemoration of the 11th day of the 11th month, at the 11th hour when the Armistice was signed 97 years ago, local veterans, family members and the community gathered at 11 a.m., Wednesday, Nov. 11, at the Rehoboth Beach Bandstand to pay tribute to those who served, living or deceased. Prior to the start of the ceremony, small groups gathered, greeting one another as they have for many years on this special day. Members of the Cape Henlopen High School JROTC Viking Battalion distributed programs and American flags. VFW Post 7447 Auxiliary members Anna Smith and Patricia Collas distributed Buddy Poppies. The donations for these poppies, made famous by the poem "In Flanders Fields" written by John McCrae during World War I, are used to assist disabled veterans as well as support the VFW National Home for Children. Master of Ceremonies was Rehoboth VFW Post 7447 Commander Bob McGinnis. He began the ceremony with a moment of silence for members of local veterans organizations who passed this year. Lilymay Border, 11, a homeschooled seventh-grader, 1 of 8 11/23/2015 9:45 AM
2 2 of 8 11/23/2015 9:45 AM gave an awe-inspiring a cappella rendition of the national anthem. This was followed by the Pledge of Allegiance, led by McGinnis, then the invocation by Post 7447 Chaplain Greg Gause. McGinnis introduced distinguished guests including Sen. Ernesto B. Lopez, Speaker of the House Rep. Pete C. Schwartzkopf, Rehoboth Beach Mayor Sam Cooper, VFW District 4 Commander Dawn M. Drzewicki, VFW Post 7447 Auxiliary President Frances Turner, JROTC instructor 1SGT Philip Webb, American Legion Post 5 Commander Robert Pruchniewski, American Legion Unit 5 Auxiliary President Nancy Lawrence, American Legion Post 5 SAL Sgt. at Arms James Hammill, Cape Henlopen Elks Lodge 2540 Exalted Ruler James Gillin, Civil Air Patrol LTC Robert Turner, Maj. Kay Rudo, CPT David Morrow, 1LT Sean McClanahan, and, for the first time, a contingent from the Indian River Coast Guard. Also introduced were the VFW District 4 Honor Guard, led by Co-captains Charles McGuire and John Ward. Highlighting the event was keynote speaker Capt. William H. J. Manthorpe, USN (Ret). Manthorpe is a Vietnam veteran, a retired Naval Intelligence officer and author of "A Century of Service: The US Navy on Cape Henlopen, Lewes, Delaware: " Starting with the earliest battles, those in attendance were reminded that U.S. military, often at a very young age, "...went willingly, and that took courage. They persisted, and that took courage. They were given a new job, learned to do it well, and that took courage." These same military "stood by those who died...and were just as much heroes. Today we can honor all of them." Manthorpe spoke about the various ways the U.S. government tried to compensate veterans from the Civil War on but failed as a result of corruption and denied assistance. Veterans then, as today, fought and continue to fight to get what was promised and deserved. Bringing attention to the present time, Manthorpe told everyone that only 1 percent of those who are qualified to serve in the military are able or willing to serve. He reminded the audience it is up to everyone to convince today's youth to get involved. A standing ovation acknowledged Capt. Manthorpe's message was well received. Under the direction of Christopher Burkhart, the CHHS Band played a service branch military medley. As their branch of service anthem was played, those who served stood proudly. Each group received applause. Placing of the memorial wreaths followed. For VFW Post 7447, Post Commander Robert McGinnis and Auxiliary President Frances Turner; for American Legion Post 5, Post Commander Robert Pruchniewski, Unit 5 Auxiliary President Nancy Lawrence and Sons of the American Legion Sgt. at Arms James Hammill; for Cape Henlopen Elks Lodge 2540, Exalted Ruler James Gillin; for Civil Air Patrol, Public Affairs Officer LTC Robert W. Turner. Volleys were fired by VFW District 4 Honor Guard and "Taps" was played by CHHS trumpeter Evan Mallon. The assembly ended with a benediction by Gause, closing remarks by McGinnis and everyone singing "God Bless America" led by Lilymay Border. 1
