Seven forty fifty five kr s DE talk Station, We
welcome back to the fifty five KRC Morning Show from
the Clamont County Veteran Services Steve Bell.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Oh it is great morning. The sun is up in
cloud in the sky. Jennifer Ketchmark had nothing negative to
say about this day. It's a good day.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
She never has anything negative to say.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
She said it was raining yesterday.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Oh well, I don't know if I agree with that.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Jensen the sales Department, and of course Steve is her account.
So she takes wonderful care of Steve and the Clemont
County Veteran Service Office. And you guys do great work.
So let me start up by thanking you for the
work that you do for the Clemont County veterans. It's
such important work. And let us talk about Memorial Day.
And because people often get Memorial Day and Veterans Day confused,
(01:34):
and there's a substantial difference between the two.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Daystes Day, let's let yeah, let's put the footstomp on
substantial right, Yeah, absolutely there is. But you know, with
less than two percent of the American public having served
in the military, it's easy how the two could be
merged together in their minds, especially when we tend to
treat them the same.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
I mean, I think most people wish the American military,
have good will for the American military, absolutely right. So
anything having to do with military service or loss of
life in connection there with I think that's why it's
kind of merged together.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Right it is, but there's also an education piece behind it.
You don't want me going, Brian, it was great listening
to you on some radio station you don't even belong to.
You'd kind of go, you didn't.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
That would made me right? And so I had that happened.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Actually I heard your endorse in the so and so,
and I'm like, no, never spoke for them on their behalf.
Ever in my life. That happens all. That's what happens
all the time. It's like, what the hell were you
listening to? You?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Who I am? My voice is you can't discern me
from somebody else. It's a compliment.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
However, it's in disguise because I did not understand your compliment.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
So with the memorial in Veterra's Day, Memorial Day created
after the Civil War, did you know we really don't
know the absolute truth of the creation of Memorial Day.
Really there are three different locations who believed they started
Memorial Day.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Okay, so this is like who's got the who invented
the Phillies Chiefe Stake, California.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Who's credit for it?
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Where's Waldo? And did he really exist? Right? So there
was a an African American battalion down in South Carolina
who after the war were decorating the graves of the soldiers.
There's another place, I believe in Massachusetts, and one even
I think Minnesota. So all of them, ten declaim were
the origin of Memorial Day. And we really don't know
(03:30):
the truth of where it started. It just happened to
blossom organically and grow from there.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
So different cities or communities or organizations started honoring the
fallen and then ultimately became a national holiday at.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
The right point.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Correct, So the phenomenon caught on so much so that
they decided to make it just one day. I suppose
these were different events throughout the year. It never it
wasn't a coordinated effort on behalf of a whole bunch
of different groups that said we're all going to do
it on this day.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Right.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
So when it comes to the federal level, like Okay,
let's let's recognize Ayday, right, But it was just happened
to be communities doing what communities do for their veterans
that especially have expired in the time of war, which
is really when you think about the definition, it's Memorial Day.
You went to Uncle Bob's memorial service before we committed
(04:24):
him to the ground, So therefore Memorial Day has been
honoring those who have sacrificed their lives for the freedom
of this country.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Well, and there's all kinds of you know, centuries old
monuments that local communities established to honor their fallen dead.
These are the war heroes from our county or from
our community. So that's it's a nice thing that people
are inclined to do that because they recognize the importance
of military service and the ultimate sacrifice being paid.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
It is, but you can also you can also go
wrong with Memorial Day.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
It's not just the but the barbecue. Girls.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
We can go to commercials all day long, but when
how many church services have you been into? And the
pastor says, all veterans rise, so we can thank you. Yeah, wrong, audience,
wrong audience. But it's because the populace doesn't understand the difference,
and we tend to treat the two holidays or remembrance
days the same.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Well, I think you've definitively pointed out the very very
distinct difference between the two days. And we've got all
kinds of events coming up, so we'll pause or bring
Steve Belzer from the Climate County Veteran Service Office back
and we'll talk about those events that are coming up.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Seven nine. If you have KRC the talk station, hope
you have it. A wonderful Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Let us see Judgent of file time at eight thirty
fl We're preceded by Shane Jenkins, former January sixth defendant,
the director executive directors stand the gap as well as
the real j six and we'll hear from Corey Bowman,
who came in second second yesterday the primary in the
meantime in studio St. Buza from the Clemont County Veteran
Service off Us already defining the difference profound it is
between Memorial Day and Veterans Day, and so honoring the
(08:06):
fallen soldiers is what we do on Memorial Day. I
know there's all kinds of events going on in. Steve's
got a list of some of the things that's going
on that are going on, so Steve, let's talk about it.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Yeah, thanks Brian. There is a lot of our Veteran
Service organizations, we know them as a VFW, the American Legion,
the dav and it just goes on and on. Right,
many of them are hosting events at our cemeteries to
recognize our fallen warriors by decorating the graves. So every
(08:37):
county we support our Claremont County Veteran Service organizations with
flags and markers to duly notate those graves and counter
those individuals. So it's a great way for the community
to get involved for Uncle Bob, aunt Joe, whoever it was,
to just go out and help them decorate these grades
(08:59):
of these wars.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Well.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
One of the things that I've observed about visiting grave sites,
and I am not the kind of guy that's inclined
to go do that.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
I'll be quite honest with you.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
I have instructions for when I die, you cremate me,
put me in a plastic bag and take a tablespoon
with you when you go someplace fun, and then sprinkle
it where people are having fun because I figure a
generation from now a nobody going to be showing up
where I'm laid to rest, because they'll forget about me.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
And that's of course fad memories faded. I mean, I
can't remember the name. Might you know?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Certainly great great parents who I never knew. I knew
some of my grant great grandparents, but I don't know
where they're buried. I wouldn't be inclined to go. So
are are you keep a list of veterans that sort
of can be remembered by the community when they've their
families have long since moved by and won't show up
to remember them themselves.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
You know, we actually have volumes in my office from
the Civil War of Claremont County veterans. That's great and
it's just to read some of their actions. There was
a gentleman I wish I could remember his name, actually
did a book on World War One Claremont County veterans.
(10:09):
There's some great reads in your county about individual families
serving in the Great Wars. It's just I knew this family.
I didn't know they had a relative that did X,
Y or Z overseas for our nation. It's just so
being able to go and locate these headstones and give
them a moment of honor, it just keeps their their
(10:31):
their name and that which they performed alive.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah, exactly, it's.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Honoring our history as a nation we are. So I
think it's it's fantastic. These organizations will gatter together, they
have they'll have speeches, not long, but to talk about
some of the veterans. Even the VVA, the Vietnam Veterans
of America is going to meet at the I call
it the Helicopter Park, Union Township Park and they're going
to honor the Vietnam veterans from Claremont County there underneath
(10:59):
the Huey Helllicopter. So it's just again on May twenty six,
another great event of honoring those who have served our country.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I know that the Governor's got the annual reef laying
ceremony on the twenty first in Veterans Plaza to Ohio
State House.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
I will tell you that is a very unique event
in the If you've never been to the Veterans Plaza,
it's on the backside of the State House and there
is inlaid in the grass a stone of every county
of Ohio, says eighty eight stones labeled with the county's name.
(11:33):
That almost is a enclave to the very park itself,
and it backs up to the backside of the State
House where the species will go. And we will have
service officers from every county. Oh wow, that will line
their blocks.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Oh that's cool. It is a neat event. That's rue.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Yeah. So and the government brings the government. The governor
brings a great speaker every year to talk about event.
That's Memorial Day. What it is a gold Star family.
Let's not forget them who have sacrificed their loved one
for your freedom. So don't look down on it and
don't forget them, because they're the ones who need the
(12:15):
greater support. We thank God for Johnny Susie who gave
their lives for our freedom. I think also the families
who lent them to us that we could fight these wars.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
That's a really important point you made there, Steve. And
I know, of course the Union Township Veterans Memorial Park
exists as well. There's going to be an event there
May twenty six, two pm.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
That's right, that's right, is.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Five hundred crosses.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Right, They will have the grassy, the grassy park. I
won't use grassy Nolan because that always takes over running.
We're waiting for this setup. But the grass that we
filled with these crosses, it looks absolutely gorgeous. The Huey
Hell is decorated as a medback flight, so it's it's
(13:05):
it fits reminiscent of like MASH.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Right.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
So okay, you know MASH actually was an acronym.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Yeah, Mobile Army Surgical Surgical Hospital. Yeah, if you gave
me about an hour and a half, I wouldn't be
able to remember it.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
But your listeners don't have the time. Brian, this is important,
it really is.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Steve Belto Clement County Veteran Services. Yeah, veterans out there,
consult your Veteran Service Office. Whether you're in Cymemond County,
you can do that. Hamilton County has them. They're all
over the place. Butler County, Warren County, they do great
work on behalf of the American veteran But in this
particular case, I'm sure that each of these veteran service
organizations and each of the counties will have events going
(13:44):
on Memorial Day events. Horen't of the fallen soldiers, the
ones who gave the ultimate sacrifice and service to their country.
So God bless each and every one of them, and
make sure you pause for a moment at least give
them some thought on Memorial Day as it fast approaches. Steve,
thank you for the work that you're doing each and
every day and for your service to our country.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Brian, thank you for partnering and helping us. Hey you
kidding me?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Love love love being able to help the veteran on
this program, folks don't go away. After the top of
the hour, news former January sixth defender Shane Jenkins, executive
director of Stand the Gap and The Real Jay six,
joins the program, followed by Jude Jennal, Paulitano, and Corey Bowman.

I have instructions for when I die, you cremate me,
put me in a plastic bag and take a tablespoon
with you when you go someplace fun, and then sprinkle
it where people are having fun because I figure a
generation from now a nobody going to be showing up
where I'm laid to rest, because they'll forget about me.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
And that's of course fad memories faded. I mean, I
can't remember the name. Might you know?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Certainly great great parents who I never knew. I knew
some of my grant great grandparents, but I don't know
where they're buried. I wouldn't be inclined to go. So
are are you keep a list of veterans that sort
of can be remembered by the community when they've their
families have long since moved by and won't show up
to remember them themselves.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
You know, we actually have volumes in my office from
the Civil War of Claremont County veterans. That's great and
it's just to read some of their actions. There was
a gentleman I wish I could remember his name, actually
did a book on World War One Claremont County veterans.
(10:09):
There's some great reads in your county about individual families
serving in the Great Wars. It's just I knew this family.
I didn't know they had a relative that did X,
Y or Z overseas for our nation. It's just so
being able to go and locate these headstones and give
them a moment of honor, it just keeps their their
(10:31):
their name and that which they performed alive.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah, exactly, it's.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Honoring our history as a nation we are. So I
think it's it's fantastic. These organizations will gatter together, they
have they'll have speeches, not long, but to talk about
some of the veterans. Even the VVA, the Vietnam Veterans
of America is going to meet at the I call
it the Helicopter Park, Union Township Park and they're going
to honor the Vietnam veterans from Claremont County there underneath
(10:59):
the Huey Helllicopter. So it's just again on May twenty six,
another great event of honoring those who have served our country.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I know that the Governor's got the annual reef laying
ceremony on the twenty first in Veterans Plaza to Ohio
State House.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
I will tell you that is a very unique event
in the If you've never been to the Veterans Plaza,
it's on the backside of the State House and there
is inlaid in the grass a stone of every county
of Ohio, says eighty eight stones labeled with the county's name.
(11:33):
That almost is a enclave to the very park itself,
and it backs up to the backside of the State
House where the species will go. And we will have
service officers from every county. Oh wow, that will line
their blocks.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Oh that's cool. It is a neat event. That's rue.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Yeah. So and the government brings the government. The governor
brings a great speaker every year to talk about event.
That's Memorial Day. What it is a gold Star family.
Let's not forget them who have sacrificed their loved one
for your freedom. So don't look down on it and
don't forget them, because they're the ones who need the
(12:15):
greater support. We thank God for Johnny Susie who gave
their lives for our freedom. I think also the families
who lent them to us that we could fight these wars.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
That's a really important point you made there, Steve. And
I know, of course the Union Township Veterans Memorial Park
exists as well. There's going to be an event there
May twenty six, two pm.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
That's right, that's right, is.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Five hundred crosses.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Right, They will have the grassy, the grassy park. I
won't use grassy Nolan because that always takes over running.
We're waiting for this setup. But the grass that we
filled with these crosses, it looks absolutely gorgeous. The Huey
Hell is decorated as a medback flight, so it's it's
(13:05):
it fits reminiscent of like MASH.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Right.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
So okay, you know MASH actually was an acronym.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Yeah, Mobile Army Surgical Surgical Hospital. Yeah, if you gave
me about an hour and a half, I wouldn't be
able to remember it.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
But your listeners don't have the time. Brian, this is important,
it really is.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Steve Belto Clement County Veteran Services. Yeah, veterans out there,
consult your Veteran Service Office. Whether you're in Cymemond County,
you can do that. Hamilton County has them. They're all
over the place. Butler County, Warren County, they do great
work on behalf of the American veteran But in this
particular case, I'm sure that each of these veteran service
organizations and each of the counties will have events going
(13:44):
on Memorial Day events. Horen't of the fallen soldiers, the
ones who gave the ultimate sacrifice and service to their country.
So God bless each and every one of them, and
make sure you pause for a moment at least give
them some thought on Memorial Day as it fast approaches. Steve,
thank you for the work that you're doing each and
every day and for your service to our country.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Brian, thank you for partnering and helping us. Hey you
kidding me?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
