Hamilton’s 2024 Memorial Day Parade Will Honor Veterans Of The Vietnam War

With profound reverence, the community of Hamilton eagerly anticipates the solemn address to be delivered this Memorial Day by the esteemed retired Brigadier Gen. Lawrence Gillespie. As the nation prepares to mark fifty years since the conclusion of the Vietnam War, General Gillespie's words will echo with the weight of remembrance and gratitude, particularly as he reflects on the valorous sacrifice of a dear friend who perished as a hero in that conflict.

The memory of Army SSG Fred Brown, whose banner adorns the High-Main Bridge alongside other cherished Hamilton heroes, will be tenderly enshrined within General Gillespie's oration. Brown's selfless act of leaping upon a grenade to shield his comrades from peril epitomizes the noblest essence of bravery. Though he was posthumously awarded the U.S. Army’s Distinguished Service Cross for his extraordinary valor, General Gillespie, imbued with unwavering devotion, continues to champion Brown's cause for the Medal of Honor, recognizing the full measure of his gallantry.

As we gather to honor the memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation, we solemnly acknowledge the more than 53,200 Americans, including 3,093 Ohioans and numerous beloved sons and daughters of Hamilton, who laid down their lives during the crucible of the Vietnam War. Their names are etched in the annals of history, their valor an enduring testament to the indomitable spirit of sacrifice that defines our nation's heroes.

In a world often fraught with division and discord, General Gillespie's poignant address serves as a poignant reminder of the profound significance of unity and reconciliation. Vietnam veterans, who once returned home to a nation divided by politics and controversy, now stand as beacons of resilience and fortitude. Their sacrifice, too long overlooked, finds poignant recognition in this year's Memorial Day parade theme, "Welcome Home, Vietnam Veterans."

As the strains of patriotism resound through the streets of Hamilton, we pay homage to the legacy of service embodied by our veterans. Led by U.S. Army Vietnam veteran Charles Stidham, this year's parade serves as a moving tribute to all those who have answered the call of duty, their valor woven into the fabric of our nation's history.

In the quiet moments preceding the march toward Greenwood Cemetery, where the brave souls of generations past lie in eternal rest, we pause to honor their memory with a solemn laying of the wreath at the Butler County Soldiers, Sailors and Pioneer’s Monument. . Led by the Hamilton High School Junior Navy ROTC students, this poignant ceremony, hosted by the American Legion Post 138, stands as a poignant testament to the enduring bond between past and present, a tribute rendered with reverence by members of the Butler County Sheriff’s Office, the Hamilton Fire and Police, AMVETS Post 1983, and DAV Chapter 15.

As we gather to pay homage to those who have gone before us, let us do so with hearts filled with gratitude and reverence. For it is through their sacrifice that we find inspiration, their legacy an eternal beacon guiding us toward a future shaped by the enduring principles of honor, duty, and service to others.

Shooters Sports Grill To Be Open In June In The Old Danbarry Theatre

Get ready, sports fans, because Hamilton is about to get a serious upgrade in its game-watching scene! The highly-anticipated Shooters Sports Grill is gearing up to open its doors in the first week of June, and let me tell you, it's going to be a game-changer.

Located in the revamped former Danbarry Theater, this triple threat of a venue is set to impress. Picture this: a whopping 15,000-square-foot space housing Shooters Sports Grill, complete with a mammoth 10-foot-by-20-foot screen looming over a 33-seat bar. But that's not all folks! Nestled in the back, there's a 6,000-square-foot gem dubbed the Washington Event Center, primed to host everything from weddings to live music gigs. And if that's not enough to get you excited, hold onto your seats because there's even a 6,000-square-foot spot earmarked for a future restaurant tenant.

Now, let's talk about the pièce de résistance: the Hamilton Jumbotron. As soon as you step foot into this movie-theater-turned-sports haven, your eyes will be treated to a spectacle of televisions galore. Todd and Alison Helton, the masterminds behind this epic venture, have decked out the joint with not just any old sports memorabilia, but also a whopping 40 TVs ranging from 75 to 85 inches, each boasting its own programming. And get this, folks – they've even carved out dedicated team rooms for those jubilant youth sports squads, club gatherings, or die-hard fantasy football leagues in need of a spot to hash out their draft strategies.

But wait, there's more! The Heltons have pulled out all the stops in the culinary department too, boasting a colossal state-of-the-art kitchen and a staggering 48 taps pouring out 24 tantalizing options. And when the weather's fine, patrons can spill out onto the spacious 75-seat patio, courtesy of a nifty garage door entrance.

Now, I know what you're thinking – what about that adjacent restaurant space? Fear not, dear sports aficionados, for Todd Helton assures us that once Shooters, the bar, and the event center are up and running smoothly, that space will be the talk of the town.

Opening its doors daily at 11 a.m. and keeping the game-day vibes alive until 11 p.m. on weeknights and midnight on weekends, Shooters aims to be the go-to spot for post-game celebrations and late-night rendezvous.

And if you're wondering why the opening date got pushed back a couple of times, well, as Todd Helton puts it, "it's a big project." But rest assured, once you step foot inside this sports paradise, you'll understand why the wait was worth it.

With the Hamilton Shooters marking the first franchise of its kind, it's clear that this is more than just your average sports bar. Greater Hamilton Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Dan Bates sums it up perfectly, describing it as "Shooters on steroids." So, get ready to be wowed, because this is one sports bar experience you won't want to miss!

Natural Health and Nutrition Tips That Are Evidence-Based

Take vitamin D if you’re deficient

Most people do not get enough vitamin D. While these widespread vitamin D inadequacies are not imminently harmful, maintaining adequate vitamin D levels can help to optimize your health by improving bone strength, reducing symptoms of depression, strengthening your immune system, and lowering your risk for cancer.

If you do not spend a lot of time in the sunlight, your vitamin D levels may be low.

If you have access, it’s a great idea to have your levels tested, so that you can correct your levels through vitamin D supplementation if necessary.
