veterans' daY salute
On November 11, the City of Beachwood and the Beachwood Historical Society remembered all veterans in a special ceremony at the Beachwood Cemetery. The cemetery is the final resting place of veterans from 7 wars as far back as the Revolutionary War. The ceremony began with the Beachwood Color Guard taking its position, followed by Mayor Merle S. Gorden presenting a proclamation to recognize our veterans to Rosemary Nemeth and Nancy Hart of the Beachwood Historical Society. Those in attendance then heard from the following veterans: Mary Reynolds Powell, Dr. Jack Jaffe, Ted Hersh and Bill Terry. Mary Reynolds Powell, a Vietnam nurse, talked about the implications of war. She said, “The most important thing we can do to honor those who served is to listen to their stories. Please, don't ever forget.” Dr. Jack Jaffe, a Lt. Commander in the U.S. Navy and Vietnam veteran, is proud to have supported our country and carries occupation money on him as a memento of war. Ted Hersh was born in Czechoslovakia, was taken to Auschwitz where he lost the women in his family and was liberated on April 11, 1945. He came to America in 1948, was drafted in 1952, and served in Korea. Bill Terry joined the Army after graduating from Beachwood High School. He served in Iraq and Afghanistan and worked his way up to the rank of Major. Additional participants included the John Carroll University Color Guard and Boy Scout Troop 620.
