[4:56] November 11, 1919, we started beginning celebrating armistice day at that time, later created to be a federal holiday, 1938, it was later changed to veterans day in 1954.

[5:10] So I'm going to read tonight from Dwight Eisenhower's proclamation of the first veterans day in 1954.

[5:16] As long as our custom to commemorate November 11th, the anniversary of the ending of World War I,

[5:22] by paying tribute to the heroes of that tragic struggle and by rededicating ourselves to the cause of peace.

[5:29] In order to expand the significance of that commemoration,

[5:32] and in order that a grateful nation might pay appropriate homage to the veterans of all its wars,

[5:38] who have contributed so much to the preservation of this nation,

[5:41] The Congress, by an act approved on June 1, changed the name of the holiday to Veterans Day.

[5:47] And I do hereby call upon all of our citizens to observe Thursday, November 11, 1954 as Veterans Day.

[5:55] On that day, let us solemnly remember the sacrifices of all those who fought so valiantly on the seas, in the air, and on four insurers to preserve our heritage of freedom,

[6:05] And let us re-consecrate ourselves to the task of promoting and enduring peace so that their efforts shall not have been in vain.

[6:15] Thank you.

[6:15] And I'll be just in the pledge.

[6:17] I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands.

[6:25] One nation, under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

[6:33] Please call the roll.

[6:34] The Honorable Great Condition Mayor.

[6:36] I am here.

[6:37] I am here.

[6:56] President.

[6:58] All right.

[6:58] The first item on the agenda is the

[7:01] 25 civic leadership award this year we have Dr. David Silly. I think I almost

[7:10] everybody in here already knows not

[7:17] to have no stage anyone.

[7:21] I guess you don't want to do it.

[7:26] I apologize. This is my vision.

[7:33] So tonight, you know, this is the biggest award that we get out as a community and so we're

[7:40] changing it up a little bit this year and I think from this year for and I'd like to see us

[7:46] always invite back all the previous award winners to celebrate the next award winner and so

[7:53] tonight we have a number of people in the audience that have come back to celebrate David Slates and

[7:59] And so what I'd like to do is I'm going to come down and read the resolution down here

[8:03] and I'd like David Slee and his family to come up, but I also like all the other people

[8:09] that have been civic leadership award winners to come on up while we do that and I'll

[8:13] get a picture taken together, okay?

[8:15] past

[8:55] mayors.

[9:07] Steve Hawkins is one.

[9:10] Why not?

[9:14] All right, so this is our biggest award.

[9:17] We all know David.

[9:18] But I still want to read a proclamation,

[9:20] because the people at home that will be watching the San TV may not know David

[9:24] and all this contributions to the community.

[9:26] So we're going to do this resolution for David Slay.

[9:32] It's a resolution of appreciation and commendation to David Slay.

[9:37] Whereas Dr. David Slay served as the President of William J.

[9:41] College from 2000 to 2016, where he ushered in the integration of technology

[9:48] to both teaching and learning of the college and over saw campus developments

[9:53] like the construction of the prior earnings common, and Schumacher Hall, and in

[9:59] an extensive renovation of Yatesville College, meaning, and whereas upon his

[10:06] retirement from Williamville College, Dr. Silly committed foolish to volunteer

[10:11] service and liberty. Highlining his passion and dedication to helping others by

[10:17] serving as a member of the Liberty Parks and Recreation Foundation board for

[10:21] years. Raising funds for scholarships to park a rent programming and community center

[10:27] memberships for the Liberty community. And whereas Dr. Slee is a member up and served

[10:35] as the first president of Clay County and for inclusion and organization dedicated to

[10:41] eliminating racism and other forms of discrimination. And whereas Dr. Slee is a member

[10:48] and served us the...

[10:53] I'm trying to just not ask this.

[10:58] I've tried to deal with that last year.

[11:02] So we'll start again.

[11:04] I don't know.

[11:06] I don't know.

[11:09] We're asked.

[11:10] Dr. Silly is currently the president of the Board of...

[11:14] and is a much ministry food pantry in Liberty,

[11:17] which serves more than 625 families per month

[11:20] to address food security for people in need within Clay County.

[11:25] And where as Dr. Sully has selflessly served liberty,

[11:29] first professionally and now is the volunteer,

[11:32] for 25 years helping this community flourish.

[11:36] Now, there are four big results by the mayor

[11:38] and city council of the City of Liberty
