Around Kansas - Honoring WWI Heroes - November 9, 2016
(Frank) Aren't you happy, here we are again? Anyway, Veterans Day is coming up and there are a lot of veterans’ activities and I know you've got one that you need to tell us about. (Deb) Well, my dear friend, Jeanne Mithen marks the graves of the World War I dead at the Historic Topeka Cemetery and those markers, there are bios of these men and one woman, are actually going up today. I believe they'll be on display through the 21st so we're going to take a look at some of these. They break your heart; they just break your heart. These are actually people who died during service. Some from the flu, some from combat and other situations. It's just heartbreaking but it's so important while we're in the hundredth anniversary of World War I, especially relevant these days, it seems, the situation around the world. This is a really important one and hope you can get out to the Historic Topeka Cemetery and take a look. (Frank) That's, if you don't know for sure that's at 10th and California. (Deb) Right. I-70 to California, then 10th to California. Right there. During the one-hundredth anniversary of the Great War, volunteer Jeanne Mithen has been honoring Topekans who died during their service by posting their photos and a short biography at their gravesites in Historic Topeka Cemetery. Most of these young men and one woman were not combat casualties, but as in most wars, sickness was the greatest enemy. It is proper that we take the time to recall them and their sacrifice. Most were first buried in France and later returned to America. Some, like Henry Walsh, were never returned, and a memorial bears his name. Also, Phillip Billard was a test pilot and when he died in a plane crash, his family buried his ashes in his grandmother's garden in France. John Oscar Akerstrom died in 1918 from wounds sustained in one of the final battle of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, just a dozen hours before the Armistice. Floyd Webster Bailey, born in Agra, Kansas, died in training in September of 1918 of complications from the Spanish influenza and resulting pneumonia at Camp Grant, Rockford, Illinois. Seaman Kenneth Lynde Barber, Foster Raymond Bradfield, William Henry Cummickel, Ralph Raymond Doidge, Robert Thomas Melton, and Virgil Eaton died during training of complications from the Spanish influenza. Frederick Joseph also died from Spanish influenza and rests in the Jewish Section without a headstone. Medical Corpsman Harold Rosen Olson died from cerebral spinal meningitis in France and Frank Asbury Pavey died of TB and measles at Camp Funston. Lyman Rice died from dysentery and pneumonia. Charles Erickson died from pneumonia and shrapnel poisoning sustained during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. LeRoy Evans was killed in action on August 31st, 1918. Aurie Earnest Fager died from wounds as a result of machine gun fire in November 1918 at a Base Hospital near the town of Barricourt, France. William Klinge died of pneumonia while training in Texas, January 1919. Ernest Fred Moneypenny was accidentally shot in France. Fay Sarah Freidberg died from disease on December 30, 1918, of complications from the Spanish influenza and resulting pneumonia in Washington, DC while she was working with the Casualty Division of the Adjutant General's Office, War Dept. On the Shawnee County Victory Highway Memorial, Fay is recorded as the only Shawnee County woman member of the Department of War to have died in the Great War in the Service of the United States. She is buried in the Jewish Section of Historic Topeka Cemetery. Jesse Gilliland died in October 1918, after being gassed and wounded during the opening stages of the Meuse Argonne Offensive. Fred Lloyd Jones died in August 1919, from pneumonia contracted on board ship during his return from his participation in the AEF offensives of the Western Front in France. Theodore Leslie McNeeley was killed in action on September 16, 1918, in a direct hit from a shell on the front line of the most advanced and exposed position being held by the 353rd Infantry during the St. Mihiel Offensive. Kenneth Sutherland was killed in action 17 July 1918 in the Alsace, France. William Swan died from wounds sustained in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive in October 1918. Albert Thompson Jr died during training in San Antonio in July, 1919, of cancer. He had already served one tour of duty in Europe. As we mark Veteran's Day, November 11, let us recall their sacrifices, and those of their families, and the millions who died around the world in those dark years a century ago.

Nazi Waffen-SS veterans march free in Riga, Latvia
More daily reality snacks at:
Latvia’s Waffen-SS veterans march honoring Nazi collaborators during WWII. European anti-facist & human rights organisations believe such rallies glorify Nazism.
Latvian veterans of Waffen-SS units and their supporters have celebrated Legion Day, an unofficial holiday honoring Nazi collaborators during WWII, with marches through downtown Riga, Latvia’s capital.
This year the march attracted hundreds of participants.
Those taking part in the procession, some dressed in old Latvian military outfits, were carrying the national flags of Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania, reports RIA Novosti.
The Latvian government officially opposes the event, but does not prohibit it on the grounds of free speech.
Latvia’s anti-fascist activists staged a small protest, as they do every year when Latvian Waffen-SS veterans march in the capital Riga.
Latvians who served in Waffen-SS not only fought against the Soviet Army, but also were a part of the atrocities committed against European Jews.
Of the 70,000 Jews that lived in Latvia when the Nazi Germany entered its territory, it's estimated that 67,000 died in the Holocaust.
Russia says the Nazi veterans’ march is a violation of international law. Anti-fascist and Jewish human rights organizations, such as the Simon Wiesenthal Center, believe such rallies glorify Nazism.
“Some of the people prior to joining the [Latvian Waffen-SS] Legion served in Latvian security forces, which played an active role in mass murder of the Latvian Jews,” Dr. Efraim Zuroff, head of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, told RT. “People who fought for victory over Nazi Germany should be considered heroes.”
The head of the Simon Wiesenthal Center called attention to the fact that thousands of Jews from Eastern Europe were brought to Latvia and exterminated in concentration camps by the German Nazis and their Latvian collaborators.
Ahead of the event, Latvia’s State Border Service was reported to be operating on a robust security regime, officially to prevent radicals from abroad from taking part in the Nazi procession.
Yet instead of barring people praising neo-Nazi ideology from entering the country, Latvian border protection refused to grant entry to representatives of three German anti-fascist organizations, co-chair of the Latvian Anti-Fascist Committee Joseph Koren said Tuesday.
Altogether, six delegates from the Association of Victims of the Nazi Regime, an organization of resistance veterans and Germany’s Anti-Nazi League were turned away at Riga Airport and banned from entering Latvia.
The border guards explained their actions by an order coming from the Office of Citizenship and Migration Affairs of Latvia.
Two days ahead of the Nazi celebration, lawyers of the Russia’s Rossiya Segodnya news agency (the parent organization of RT) were denied entry to Latvia. The lawyers were to attend a court hearing following the decision of the Latvian authorities to deny official registration for Sputnik news agency (another part of Rossiya Segodnya) in Latvia last August.
The Latvian Legion of the Waffen-SS consisted of almost 150,000 Latvians and was split into two divisions. The legion was created in 1943 on the orders of Adolf Hitler. On March 16, 1944, the legion was deployed against the Soviet Red Army near the town of Pskov. It was among the last of the Nazi forces to surrender in 1945.
The Waffen-SS march has been held annually on March 16 since 1998.
