PRESIDENT'S
WELCOME
Welcome
To the 15th Annual
Murrieta Field of Honor!
What an exciting milestone for our community -
the City, school district and Rotary Club of Murrieta,
where I am proud to serve as 2023-24 President.
Like the City of Murrieta, the Field of Honor has
grown from its first appearance in November 2009.
Sections of interest have been added, including local
heroes, California Medal of Honor recipients, historical flags, a patriotic chalk walk and flags of all the states in the United States.
Our mission has remained the same throughout
- to present a respectful patriotic event honoring
heroes. We are thankful to the greater Inland Empire
community that has supported the Field of Honor with
flag purchases and attendance at the various events
during the week. A complete schedule of events for
the 2023 Field of Honor appears on page 6 of this
magazine. And, it's not too late to purchase a flag and honor your hero, right here at the Field.
For the third consecutive year, the Rotary Club of
Murrieta is welcoming the Rotary Club of Temecula
Valley - New Generations as a partner in presenting
the Field of Honor. We appreciate their innovative
ideas and muscle in accomplishing the many tasks
that are required.
And, of course, we could not present the Field of
Honor or the many community projects we undertake
without our dedicated sponsors, many of whom are
Legacy Sponsors who have been with us since that
first 2009 Field of Honor. We are deeply indebted to
them . Starting in its early years, the Field of Honor
provided funding for the soon-to-be completed
Murrieta Field of Honor •
Murrieta Through Time walls on the park's west
side and for the Veterans Memorials, which will now
include the finished Vietnam wall . Now, proceeds
from the Murrieta Field of Honor fund all of our local
community and international projects, 60 percent of
which involve education. We thank our sponsors.
The City of Murrieta has been our key partner
from those beginning months of imagining a field of
flags which would honor heroes of all types. Town
Square Park was just completed when Bob Bryant,
our founding organizer, approached the City with this
idea. The City has dedicated staff resources to it and
made it a Signature Event for this expanded park.
Bringing Murrieta Valley School District's fifth
grade classes to the Field of Honor was the idea of
then- Superintendent Stan Scheer. A member of
the Rotary Club of Murrieta, Stan was there for the
very first presentation and determined this was a
perfect field trip for fifth graders studying U.S. history.
Thousands have grown up with this experience as
Stan's successors have continued that determination.
On behalf of Murrieta and New Generations Rotary
Clubs, I look forward to seeing you on the Field this
year. Thank you for your support.

FLAG
DEDICATIONS
How to buy a flag and why
The flags on the Field of Honor have a two-fold
purpose. One is to honor our personal heroes and the
other is to raise funds for community service projects
funded by both the Murrieta Rotary Foundation and
Rotary Club of Temecula Valley - New Generations
Foundation.
Each flag has meaning. It tells a story of a person who is special, inspirational and memorable to someone else. The flag stands for all the admiration that special person deserves in the mind of his or her champion. They are bought to honor military personnel, first responders, and others who have made an impact in a person's life.
The funds generated by the flag sales are used to support the many avenues of service the Rotary Club of Murrieta and Rotary Club of Temecula Valley - New Generations conduct throughout the year. This includes thousands of dollars in scholarships, teacher grants, youth projects, international projects like clean water, Special Needs dance, student music and speech contests, and many more. At least $60,000 is put back into our local economy every year by benefiting these many projects.
Buying a flag is easy. You can purchase in person any
day the Field is open, purchase online any day or night, or purchase from one of our affi liates (who then earn dollars for their own causes). Check out MurrietaFieldOfHonor.com, or visit us at the Field and honor your hero.
Honoring
Our
Heroes
Today and every day!
Purchased flags will be available
for pick-up to take home Saturday,
November 11 from 9 AM to 5 PM
and Sunday, November 12 from
9 AM to 12 PM.

BORN TO RESPECTFULLY HONOR HEROES
Murrieta
Field of Honor
The late Rotarian Joe Lawlor said it best, Murrieta Field of Honor would be a "respectful patriotic event," not any sort of fair or carnival atmosphere. For 15 years, the Rotary Club of Murrieta in partnership with the City of Murrieta has determinably strived to present a magnificent aweinspiring field of flags as a service to the community.
The Murrieta Field of Honor
got its start in 2008 when the
Rotary International Convention
was held in Los Angeles. Murrieta
Rotarian George Steele, a past
District governor, was asked
to head up the Rotary Retail
portion of the convention's
House of Friendship. A veteran
retail executive, now manager of
the Rotary "mall" with vendors
from around the world, George
discovered a large booth of
American flags while acquainting
himself with the vendors. In turn,
he suggested Murrieta President
Nominee Bob Bryant visit the
Colonial Flag Company booth
thinking it might be something
Murrieta Rotary could develop
as part of its community service.
Bob Bryant brought special
empath y to the concept of
honoring those who have served,
and to heroes in general. He
served with the US Air Force in
Viet Nam in the early Seventies,
and as a ground radio operator,
he worked in forward air control.
These are the servicemen that
flew into areas in 02 Skymasters
as observers and directed the
aircraft that would be attacking
Viet Cong positions. Most of his
time was spent in the Central
Highlands (Pleiku). At one point,
he was in the middle of nowhere
and directing aircraft to positions
just 1 00 yards from him. Accuracy
was very important.
Now in 2008, he was in the
insurance business, active in
Murrieta Rotary and ready to
spend time getting to know about
Colonial Flag Foundation, and the
program they had offered with
Healing Fields since the 9/11
attacks.
Upon returning to Murrieta,
Bob presented the concept
to his fe llow Rotarians (many
were skeptical), an organizing
committee was formed and
discussions were started with the
City of Murrieta. Town Square
Park was a central feature of the
newly constructed civic center
and where Murrieta Rotary was
already proposing to build a
Murrieta Through Time display.
Another Vietnam veteran, then
Assistant City Manager Jim
Holston had noted the City was
looking for events to get people
to this unknown park. Just a
year and some months after
that Rotary Con vention, the
Murrieta Field of Honor debuted
for Veterans Day week 2009,
flying 1,200 flags.
Bob is founder of the Field of
Honor and with Past President
Frank Donahoe worked in
developing relationships with the
City as well as Colonial Flag and
community business sponsors.
They served as co-chairs for
nearly 10 years. It took a strong
group of Murrieta Rotarians and
support from many long-term
sponsors to make it the Signature
Event it is today. Early Rotarian
comm ittee members, like Past
President Patsy Orr (the only
female on that first organizing
committee) and late Rotarians
Joe Lawlor and Al Vollbrecht,
brought immeasurable talents to
the creation of this event. Dennis
McCarbery, with his extensi ve
public agency work experience,
and George Steele, with his keen
sense of doing things in the right
way, also have been key players
in the development of the Field
of Honor.
This November, Bob Bryant
and his sidekick Frank Donahoe
will be on the Field, (familiarly
called Frank and Beans) no longer
directing the events but still
inspiring all that transpires.

WILLIAM "BILL" BECKER
Joining the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1944, Bill learned to fly at age 18; shortly afterward, he was assigned duties to aid the French Resistance by dropping supplies over France, Norway, Belgium and Italy.
Bill was part of a crew that flew clandestine missions inside German-occupied territories. The U.S. office of Strategic Service (today's Central Intelligence Agency} called the effort Operation Carpetbagger. Using modified B-24 Liberator aircraft, the OSS authorized more than 1,860 missions between England and various points in occupied Europe between January and September 1944.
A sergeant and gunner, Bill said they flew agents, weapons, ammunition, explosives and other military under the cover of darkness. "We were told that if we didn't do what we did, the war would have lasted another two years," Bill told reporter Diane A Rhodes in a story for My Valley News in May. His job was to sit in the top turret where he could see all around and protect the airplane. Agents and supplies were dropped through an opening in the aircraft's belly.
Bill left the military in 1946 but was unable to discuss his OSS activities until the 1980s when the information was declassified. Now 97 and living in Hemet, Bill serves as reunion director for the carpetbaggers group (he's the only one of the originals left} and as treasurer and newsletter editor of the 801 st/492nd Bombardment Group Veterans Association. In June, Bill returned to France for a D-Day ceremony in Normandy. In 2013, Bill along with five American World War II veterans received France's highest decoration, the Legion of Honor. He has also been awarded the Congressional Gold Medal and was the first American airman to receive the Norwegian Defense Medal.
MEMORIAL HONOR DETAIL
Every working day, members of the Memorial Honor Detail at Riverside National Cemetery report for duty, providing a final tribute to fellow veterans at their final resting place. The all-volunteer Memorial Honor Detail numbers some 300 former military servants who have chosen to continue serving their country in this manner.
If requested for a veteran's burial, the Memorial Honor Detail will provide rifle volleys, TAPs and the folding and presentation of the American flag. Requests for these honors are made through funeral directors.
Riverside National Cemetery is the biggest of the national cemeteries. It was the first cemetery commissioned by the National Cemetery Administration 50 years ago ..
The Memorial Honor Detail at Riverside had its beginnings in the mid-1990s with military base closures and downsizing. Military Honors at the Riverside National Cemetery had become almost non-existent. A small group of veterans took action and formed the Memorial Honor Detail, offering military honors for burials starting in 1996. From just three teams and two dispatchers, the non-profit organization has grown to over 300 volunteers, six armorers and a 15-member board of directors. All branches of the United States military are represented in the Detail's members.
Since 1996, the Memorial Honor Detail has served at 66,305 interments, spending 651,984 volunteer hours.
The Memorial Honor Detail works closely with Riverside National Cemetery although they are not part of it. The Cemetery does provide them with an office.

Vietnam Veterans
Memorial -
UNVEILED ON VETERANS DAY
New memorial adds meaningful tribute
to Town Square Park, honoring
those who served.
Murrieta Town Square Park
is home to a un ique veterans
memorial that reflects the
strong patriotism and respect
for the military that is prevalent
throughout the Murrieta
community. A tall, granite obelisk
stands proudly above a series
of walls depicting dramatic and
emotional imagery of men and
women who served and sacrificed
in our nation's defense. The City
of Murrieta is proud to announce
the dedication of the next wal l in
the series: the Vietnam Veterans
Memorial.
Current ly, the memorial
includes an obelisk representing
the military branches (prior to the
addition of the U.S. Space Force),
an MIA/POW tribute, and wa lls
representing the Revolutionary
War, War of 1812, Civil War,
World War I, World War 11 , and
the Korean War. Now, a new wa ll
depicting the va lor of those who
served in Vietnam will, too, be a place for visitors to reflect.
To ensure the new memorial wall and those it honors get the recognition they deserve, the City and multiple partners-including project consultants Anser Advisory-planned a specia l unvei ling event to take place following the City's annual Veterans Day Parade on Veterans Day, Saturday, November 11 . The unveiling wi ll begin shortly after the conclusion of the parade, which is always a community favorite.
Take a moment to pause and honor the unique significance of this memorial during your next visit to Town Square Park. By honoring those who served, we honor the sacrifices they made to ensure we live in peace with our freedom .

American War
Letters Accompany
Student Songs
At Candlelight Concert
Wednesday, November 8
Against an evening backdrop of2,023American
flags, Murrieta middle school students wi ll sing
patriotic songs between readings of letters from
war on Wednesday, November 8. Perhaps the
most somber, heart-wrenching event of the weeklong Field of Honor, the student concert and readings by Th e Wunderlich Family are special
indeed.
Letters like those read from the Town Square
Park stage have been tucked away in attics,
closets, and basements throughout this country.
There are millions of letters written by men and
women who have served in the U.S. Armed
Forces. These letters are an irreplaceable record
of the sacrifi ces made by military personnel and
their families, and they need to be preserved.
Murrieta Field of Honor II
Chapman University has established The Center
for American War Letters (CAWL) as an extensive
manuscript repository of these unique historical
letters from every American conflict from the
Revolutionary War to modern day combat. As you
wi ll hear from our selection of these 'Letters from
War', they offer eyewitness accounts of famous
battles, major world events, and encounters with
prominent military leaders. But even the more
personal messages, such as heartfelt expressions of
affection or words of support and encouragement
between separated loved ones, offer valuable
insight into the wartime experience. Many of
these letters are also extremely significant from
a historical perspective and are a vital record of
the collective memory of the American people, as
witnessed and articulated by service members,
veterans, and their loved ones, who experienced
these wars firsthand.
For the past decade the Murrieta Field of
Honor has presented a selection of these letters
together with a musical arrangement appropriate
to each letter's time period. We hope you enjoy
and appreciate the significance of these artifacts
as a record of different times in the history of our
great nation.

MEDAL OF HONOR FIELD
80 FLAGS
The Medal of Honor section
includes 80 very special flags -- one
for every Californian who has been
awarded the Congressional Medal
of Honor since World War I.
The Co ngressional Medal of
Honor is the highest award for
valor agai nst an enemy force which
can be awarded to a member of
the United States Armed Forces.
It is generally presented by the
President of the United States.
The award was created in
1862 and since then, even though
mi ll ions of people have been in the
mil itary, only 3,504 have received
this award. Only66 are living today.
On each of these special flags
there is a report ca lled a Citation,
telling what courageous action was
performed by the individual to earn
the Medal of Honor.
OFFICIAL FLAGS OF THE
UNITED STATES
27 FLAGS
There are 27 Flags which have
officia lly flown over t he United
States of America. The flags are
arranged in chronologica l (date)
order - from the first to the most
recent.
Each flag includes a description
of its adoption and the historical
era (or ti me period) during which
it fl ew as the official United States
flag.
In addition, this display includes
six flags that have appeared during
various periods of America's history,
including the Betsy Ross flag which
is often mistakenly considered to
be the first flag.
The nation's first Flag Act was
passed by the Continental Congress
on June 14, 1777, "Resolved. That
the flag of the United States be
made of thirteen stripes, alternate
red and white; that the union be
thirteen stars, white in a blue field,
representing a new Constel lation."
Since the appearance of that
first 13-strip e flag and t oday,
Congress has passed several acts
that changed the design of Old
Glory, including the custom of
adding a new star as each new
state was admitted to the Union.
Once a flag is adopted, it is official
forever and can be appropriately
flown. Today, the flag consists of
13 horizonta l stripes, representing
the origina l 13 colonies, and the
stars represent the 50 states of
the Union.
Can you figure out which flag was
flying during each war?
VETERANS MEMORIAL
The Veterans M e m or ial
Monument at Town Square Park
is designed to create and maintai n
a dign ified Veterans memo ri al
,,
,,
reflecting contributions made
by veterans from al l branches
of the military throughout the
history of the United States, and to
acknowledge as well as honor the
courage, commitment, and heroism
demonstrated by all Veterans past
and present. The memoria l's
concept is that each conflict brings
lives and countries into moments
of intense passion and conflict,
comm itment and escape, and
euphoria and desperation.
The memoria l is set in a
meandering decomposed granite
path that winds th rough the
existing "V" pattern to represent
these feelings and commitments.
An obelisk with an inlaid granite
American flag set in a base honor
the five branc hes of mi litary
service (Army, Navy, Marines, Coast
Guard, and Air Force) and is the
highest visual identification of the
memorial, easily seen throughout
the site.
Eventually seven individual walls
of black granite will represent the
United States' various conflicts.
The walls are etched with images
of those who served, taken from
pictures of actual events or from
renderi ngs. Each wall is set in a
chronological timeline to be viewed
from both pathways but is also set to
interrupt the decomposed granite
path that links the monument
walls. It is this interruption that
symbolizes those struggles and
abrupt interruption of life. The
heights and shapes represented in
the inclined and buried portions of
the wal ls symbolize the moments
of rise and fall in events that
occurred during these confl icts. A
memorial dedicated to prisoners of
war or those missing in action, sits
away from both main pathways.
The Veterans Memorial includes
the obe li sk plus the Wo rld War
II, Korean War and POW/M IA
memoria ls. The newly completed
Vietnam War memorial is bei ng
dedicated by the City of Murrieta
following the 2023 Veterans Day
Parade on Saturday, November 11.

States of America reflect va rying
histories and regional differences.
Most of the states' flags were
adopted around the turn of the 20th
Century when each state wanted to
have distinctive symbols on display
at the 1893 World's Co lumbian
Exposition in Chicago, IL. Most
of the flags have an interesting
history, reflective generally of the
region's experiences. California's
flag, for example, was originally
used to declare independence
from Mexico in 1846, calling it the
"California Republic." The California
legislature declared it the official
state flag in 1911.

Flag
Etiquette
STANDARDS OF RESPECT
Remember that every one of these flags
represents one of our local heroes, who could
be your brother, sister or loved one. While you are
here visiting them you should pay your respects
without any running or loud conversations. Many
of you will see adults also visiting the field while
you are here. Remember that they may have
loved ones who are no longer with us and may be
silently meditating and remembering that person.
So show them your respect by doing the same.
When visiting the flags of our Local Heroes
show your respect. The flags placed in this
area represent the local men and women who
have given their last measure of devotion to our
country and represent the great struggle for
freedom.
The following is the Flag Code, which formalizes
and unifies the traditional ways in which we
give respect to the flag:
The flag should never be dipped to any
person or thing. It is flown upside down only
as a distress signal.
• The flag should not be used as a drapery,
or for covering a speaker's desk, draping a
platform, or for any decoration in general.
Bunting of blue, white and red stripes is
available for these purposes. The blue stripe
of the bunting should be on the top.
The flag should never be used for any
advertising purpose. It should not be
embroidered, printed or otherwise
impressed on such articles as cushions,
handkerchiefs, napkins, boxes, or anything
intended to be discarded after temporary
use. Advertising signs should not be attached
to the staff or halyard.
The flag should not be used as part of a
costume or athletic uniform, except that a
flag patch may be used on the uniform of
military personnel, fire fighter, police officer
and members of patriotic organizations.
The flag should never have placed on it, or
attached to it, any mark, insignia, letter, word,
number, figure, or drawing of any kind.
The flag shou Id never be used as a receptacle
for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering
anything.
When the flag is lowered, no part of it should
touch the ground or any other object; it
should be received by waiting hands and
arms.
• To store the flag it should be folded neatly
and ceremoniously.
EVOLUTION OF
THE UNITED STATES FLAG
No one knows with absolute certainty who
designed the first stars and stripes or who
made it. Congressman Francis Hopkinson
is most likely to have designed it and few
historians believe that Betsy Ross, Philadelphia
seamstress, made the first one.
Until the Executive Order of June 24,
1912, neither the order of the stars nor
the proportions of the flag was prescribed.
Consequently, flags dating before this period
sometimes show unusual arrangements of
the stars and odd proportions, these features
being left to the discretion of the flag maker.
In general, however, straight rows of stars and
proportions similar to those later adopted
officially were used.
The principal acts affecting the flag of the
United States are the following:
On June 14, 1777, in order to establish
an official flag for the new nation, the
Continental Congress passed the first Flag
Act: "Resolved that the flag of the United
States be made of thirteen stripes, alternate
red and white; that the union be thirteen
stars, white in a blue field, representing a
new Constellation."
Act of April 4, 1818 - provided for 13 stripes
and one star for each state, to be added
to the flag on the 4th of July following the
admission of each new state, signed by
President Monroe.
Executive Order of President Taft dated June
24, 1912 - established proportions of the flag
and provided for arrangement of the stars
in six horizontal rows of eight each, a single
point of each star to be upward.
Murrieta Field of Honor -
Executive Order of President Eisenhower dated January 3, 1959 - provided for the arrangement of the stars in seven rows of seven stars each, staggered horizontally and vertically.
Executive Order of President Eisenhower dated August 21, 1959 - provided for the arrangement of the stars in nine rows of stars staggered horizontally and eleven rows of stars staggered vertically.
DISPLAYING THE FLAG
OUTDOORS
When the flag is displayed from a staff projecting from a window, balcony, or a building, the union should be at the peak of the staff unless the flag is at half staff.
When it is displayed from the same flagpole with another flag - of a state, community, society or Scout unit -the flag of the United States must always be at the top except that the church pennant may be flown above the flag during church services for Navy personnel when conducted by a Naval chaplain on a ship at sea.
When the flag is displayed over a street, it should be hung vertically, with the union to the north or east. If the flag is suspended over a sidewalk, the flag's union should be farthest from the building.
When flown with flags of states, communities, or societies on separate flag poles which are of the same height and in a straight line, the flag of the United States is always placed in the position of honor - to its own right. The other flags may be smaller but none may be larger. No other flag should be placed above it.
The flag of the United States is always the first flag raised and the last to be lowered.
When flown with the national banner of other countries, each flag must be displayed from a separate pole of the same height. Each flag should be the same size. They should be raised and lowered simultaneously. The flag of one nation may not be displayed above that of another nation.
THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
AND NATIONAL ANTHEM
The pledge of al legiance should be rendered by standing at ttention, facing the flag, and sa luting.
When the National Anthem is played or sung, citizens should stand at attention and salute at the first note and hold the salute through the last note. The salute is directed to the flag, if displayed, otherwise to the music.
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republi c for which it stands; one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
LESSONS IN PATRIOTISM
Patriotism is often ca lled national pride. It is the sense of devotion to one's country and an alliance with other citizens who share the same sentiment. The Field of
Honor gives a timeless perspective to patriotism, uniting our community members as we pay tribute to the service
men and women who have fought for our country.
Every year, students in Murrieta, and surrounding
communities, have received their lessons about
Veterans Day, the meaning of the Ameri can flag, and its heroes here. Fifth grade students from all 11 Murrieta
elementary schools have the unique opportunity to learn stories of courage, sacrifice and heroism from veterans who have served our country.
"The Field of Honor is a fantastic opportunity for 5th
grade students to learn more about and honor the brave
men and women who have served and continue to serve
our country." Said Brent Coley, Murrieta Valley United
School District's coordinator of elementary education . "From learning more about our flag to observing
patriotic chalk art to hearing veterans speak about their experiences in past wars, this is a can't-miss event.
"As a former 5th grade teacher and elementary school
principal who has visited this event with students, I highly commend The Field of Honor."
Fifth grade visits started in the Fi eld's second year, after then -District Superintendent Stan Scheer, a
Murrieta Field of Honor -
Rotarian and volunteer, had experienced the
first field and decided students should be bused
to the Field to soak in the glory of the flags and
study the America n history presented there.
And, they have each year since, excepting 2020
when the pandemic shut down field trips.
Frequently, the students return with their
families to show off what they have learned.

History of
Veterans
Day
Every November 11, the people of the United
States recognize a "celebration to honor America's
veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and
willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common
good." (credit Department of Veterans Affairs)
June 4, 1926, the United States proclaimed
that the end of WWI officially occurred on the date
of 11/11/1918 (" ... the 11th hour of the 11th day of
the 11th month" per The History Channel). At that
time known as Armistice Day (in simple terms,
"armistice" is essentially a truce, and Armistice
Day was established to honor Veterans of World
War One).
President Eisenhower established a national
holiday known as Veterans Day in 1954, at the
urging of major Veterans groups. The change
of the name of the holiday, and legislation
to recognize Veterans Day always falling on
Murrieta Field of Honor -
November 11, morphed into a day to honor Veterans
of al l wars. The primary reason for the change of name was to ensure inclusion and recognition of the many
Veterans across our Country after the end of WWII .
Veterans Day today still recognizes all Veterans, both
living and passed. There is a wreath-laying ceremony
each year at Arlington National Cemetery near our
Nation's capital that takes place on Veterans Day, while parades and other celebrations are held widespread
across our great Nation. Here in Murrieta, we are
blessed to have the Field of Honor each year at this
time to remember, recognize and honor our Veterans.
This year, the City's Veterans Day Parade wil l take place on 11 /11 /23, beginning at 10am and ending at the
Field of Honor.
Veterans know better than anyone else the price
of freedom, for they've suffered the scars of war.
We can offer them no better tribute than to protect
what they have won for us.

11My Country, 1
Tis of Thee11
By Hindley Earnshaw
Samuel Francis Smith wrote the lyrics to "My Country
'Tis of Thee" in 1831, while he was a student at the Andover Theological Seminary in Andover, Massachusetts. His friend Lowell Mason had asked him to translate the lyrics in some German school songbooks or to write new lyrics. A melody in Muzio Clementi's Symphony No. 3 caught his attention.
Rather than translating the lyrics from German, Smith wrote his own American patriotic hymn to the melody, completing the lyrics in thirty minutes.
My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From eVry mountainside
Let freedom ring!
2 My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hil ls;
My heart with rapture thrills,
Like that above.
3 Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song;
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let al l that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,
OUR NATIONAL
ANTHEM
Over 200 years ago, Washington, DC attorney, Francis
Scott Key saw a flag flying over embattled Fort McHenry which protected Baltimore's harbor. It was early in the morning, and the amateur poet began jotting down the
lines that became the National Anthem of the United
States. That was on September 14, 1814, and the War of
1812 had been underway for two years, with disastrous
battles for the young United States.
Key "could just make out the American flag waving
above Fort McHenry. British ships were withdrawing
from Baltimore, and Key rea lized that the United States had survived the battle and stopped the enemy advance.
Moved by the sight, he wrote a song celebrating that
star-spangled banner as a symbol of America's triumph
and endurance."
The lawyer and Washington "insider," had been sent
by President James Madison on a mission to Baltimore
to negotiate with the British for the release of Dr. William Beanes, a prominent surgeon who had been captured at
the Battle of Bladensburg. Key and a State Department
attorney had set sail on an American sloop in Baltimore Harbor and had boarded the British ship Tonnant, where
they dined and secured the prisoner's release under
one condition-they could not go ashore until after
the British attacked Baltimore. Accompanied by British
guards, Key returned to the American sloop from which
he witnessed the bombardment of Baltimore behind the
• SO-ship British fleet.
Initially, Key's lyrics were titled, "Defense of Fort
M'Henry'' by a Baltimore newspaper. Two months after
the battle, a Baltimore music store printed the patriotic song with sheet music under the lyrical title, ''The StarSpangled Banner." More than a century passed before "The Star-Spangled Banner" became our country's
national anthem, although it increased in popularity
through the years, including during the Civi l War. In
1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed an executive
order designating it the national anthem for all military ceremonies. On March 3, 1931, after 40 previous
attempts failed, a measure passed Congress and was
signed into law that designated "The Star-Spangled
Banner" as the national anthem of the United Sates.
Murrieta Field of Honor -
11 The Star-Spangled Banner11
By Francis Scott Key
1 Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was stil l there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
2 On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses1
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the bravel
3 And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the bravei
4 Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolationI
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Coming Soon!
MURRIETA
THROUGH
TIME
A permanent contribution by The Rotary Club
of Murrieta to the City's Town Square Park will be
Murrieta Through Time monuments displaying
public art and information on significant eras
throughout Murrieta's history. The monuments
will be tied together with a pa
ved walkway and
benches.
Murrieta Through Time will feature the
area's history from pre-ice age times, through
Native American and Spanish influences, the
development of agriculture, a railroad, the
Murrieta Hot Springs and onto Cityhood. It will
be a lasting memorial of how the area developed
and came to be the growing city that
it is today.
Walkway pavers are still ava ilable for a
$100 tax-deductib
le donation, which provides
an opportunity for community members to
celebrate family, memorialize a loved one, or
recognize your business.
WE THAN K YOU!
