PROCLAMATION
Veterans Day

WHEREAS, in 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the first Veterans Day proclamation
calling on our nation to "pay appropriate homage to the veterans of all its wars who have
contributed so much to the preservation of this nation;" and
WHEREAS, the words of that first proclamation still ring true: "Let us solemnly remember the
sacrifice of all those who fought so valiantly on the sea, in the air and on foreign shores, to
preserve our heritage of freedom, and let us reconsecrate ourselves to the task of promoting
and enduring peace so that their efforts shaLL not have been in vain;" and
WHEREAS, "A Legacy of Loyalty and Service," the theme for this year's Veterans Day, highlights
the dedication to honoring those who made personal sacrifices in the commitment to serve; and
WHEREAS, the men and women of our armed forces continue to be an inspiration to all of us
through their determination of courage, Leadership and devotion in service to our community
and country; and
WHEREAS, the citizens of the Village of Mount Prospect will always remember and pay homage
to our military community, both active and inactive, for their contributions, dedication, and
commitment to the cause of our freedom.
NOW THEREFORE, I, Paul Wm. Hoefert, Mayor of the Village of Mount Prospect, do hereby
proclaim November 11, 2024 as
Veterans Day
in the Village of Mount Prospect and we proudly join the rest of our nation to salute and give
special honor and recognition to the men and women who served us in our armed forces.
