Home My WebLink About7/16/2014 - STAFF REPORTS - 00 Weafiesday, July 16, 2014 From: Lee Wilson Jr./Historian Palm Springs American Legion Post 519 To: James Thompson/Palm Springs City Clerk CC: Palm Springs City Council Subj: Fallen Hero Banner Update To Whom It May Concern: My name is Lee Wilson Jr. and on behalf of the Palm Springs American Legion I am leading the Palm Springs Hero Banner Project. Our purpose is to honor all 27 local residents of Palm Springs and Palm Springs Unified School District who since World War 11 in time of war gave their lives for our freedom. We are soliciting private funds to purchase Castle Banners that conform to city requirements for each of our fallen heroes. Our goal is to line downtown Palm Canyon Drive with castle banners that honor these fallen heroes creating in effect a "Walk of Heroes" to complement our "Walk of Stars." While many cities in California and around the country pay tribute to locals currently serving in the military creating "Hometown Hero Banners," to my knowledge, no other city in the country is specifically setting aside the best locations exclusively displaying banners honoring those killed or missing in war. This would totally set us apart from any other city setting an example for others to follow. Palm Springs is known around the country for having one of the best Veterans Day Parades anywhere. Lining Palm Canyon Drive with up to 27 banners honoring our heroes perfectly complements our Veterans Day Parade and solidifies our reputation as a patriotic city. The City of Palm Springs also needs to design a plan, similar to other cities in California that do honor "Hometown Heroes;" banners that honor current active duty Palm Springs High School alumni. I need to thank Fred Bell, Director of the Palm Springs Air Museum and Rene Brown, President of the Palm Springs Historical Society for their help and assistance. The Palm Springs American Legion website now has a link where people can find information to donate to the banner program. We plan on having a fundraiser with bands sometime around Friday, August 22 or Saturday, August 23 at the Palm Canyon Roadhouse. I also created a Facebook page where I will post updates and stories about our 27 fallen heroes. It is called Palm Springs Fallen Heroes Banner Project. My hope is that I will be able to connect with families via social media and use their photos and stories in history projects for the air museum and historical society. Please check it out too! Enclosed is a master template of the 27 banners we wish to display. The final design will feature a patriotic template following the format of the four banners we already donated to the city. School starts for me in three weeks. I will not have a lot of time to work on the banner project once the school year begins. I really need to talk to somebody from the city to make sure that is non-city sanctioned event will receive the city's blessings and that if we donate up to 27 banners in time for Veterans Day that they will in fact be displayed for a time during the holidays, at least until the city comes up with a plan to display them permanently. Finally, it was a shame that my request to hang the four donated banners honoring Owen Coffman, Roaul Prieto, Ming Sun, and Suresh Krause for three weeks during the 4ch of July Holidays was denied. I hope that I have not angered anybody and that the city will have a policy in place in time for Veterans Day. A request for only three weeks during the 4ch of July holidays should have been honored, especially at this time! For a city that does one of the best Veterans Day Parades around, this seemed strange to me.
