On September 20th at 5:30 am, members and friends of Rocky Glade Cumberland Presbyterian Church met at 415 Castleview Court in Murfrees-boro to start the first leg of the first Habitat for Hu-manity house to be completely built in one week. It was also the first handicapped accessible house built in Rutherford County. The experience was tiring but rewarding. Some members were experienced in construction, but most had never done anything even related to con-struction. Some members worked all day, while others could only work Saturday morning, or came by in the afternoon. There were also members who brought lunch. The cooperation and the production we witnessed made us all so excited and satisfied. The missionary project that the church commit-

person is named and recognized. Area churches also recognize those who have preserved and defended our country during their times of worship with songs which celebrate the liberties and free-doms of our country. The Eagleville Times is proud to dedicate the November issue to the Vet-erans who have lived or live in this area. This special edition of the Eagleville Times was mailed to over 6100 homes reaching persons in the larger Eagle-ville, Rockvale, College Grove, Triune, and Unionville communities and sur-rounding areas.

Members of these communities have served and continue to serve in the armed forces both during times of peace and times of conflict, often with great sacrifice. We are proud to publish the photos of our Hometown Heroes. These men and women as well as those not pictured deserve our respect and admi-ration and our gratitude for protecting all that we value and our freedoms. Veterans we salute your love of country

November 11, 2003 we celebrate another Veterans Day and honor all those who have served in the armed forces, both in times of peace and times of conflict. November 11 is the desig-nated day as it commemorates the sign-ing of the Armistice on November 11, 1918 at 11:00 a.m., ending World War I. It was known as Armistice Day until after World War II when it was changed to Veterans Day. Until sometime in the 1950’s American Legion posts sold “poppies” to commemorate Armistice Day and many citizens wore red pop-pies in their lapels on November 11 to honor those who fought. Although since then peace has been interrupted many times in many parts of the world, all of us continue to look towards a time and a world where there is no armed conflict and men, women, and children live without the fear of war. This year as in past years, an assem-bly at Eagleville School recognizes and honors those who have served. The Na-tional Anthem and other patriotic songs are part of the ceremony. The Jr. ROTC presents the Colors and each service

and commitment to preserving America.

pers, the tractor show and the horseshows. He strong-ly supports Eagleville School activities and is a dedi-cated fan of the sports teams there. He is a long time member of the Lions Club, Eagleville Chapter and is always on hand and ready to help with their projects.

John’s tragic experience in Viet Nam makes all of us pause and reflect. Yet, John communicates a posi-tive outlook on life and enjoys every day to the full-est. Eagleville is fortunate to have a hero among us and a living reminder of all those who have sacrificed for our country. We are blessed and better for our relationship with John Redmond.

Small towns are known for colorful characters, and Eagleville is no exception. John Redmond is perhaps most easily recognized cruising through town in his golf cart waving to friends and visiting the merchants in Eagleville. He is a regular at the Dairy Bar, opens up Joyce’s Beauty Shack for her on Thursdays, and counts those who work at the Drug Center as friends. John Redmond, the son of Irene Lorance, born in 1941 is the oldest of eight children. He remains close to his four sisters, Virginia, Betty, Jessie and Barbara and two surviving brothers Herbert and Larry. His brother Jimmy is deceased and missed by this close-knit family. John has two daughters, Jamie and Emily and one very cute two-year-old granddaughter, Occoee.

John grew up in Eagleville and attended all twelve years at Eagleville School. While in high school he worked at Howard Marshall’s Grocery

EAGLEVILLE TIMES Page 5

Store. Following graduation, John was employed at Genesco and Colonial Bread Company. He then worked at the Coca-cola Company for 10 years.

In the late 1960’s, John reported for active duty with the U.S. Army and even-tually was sent to Viet Nam. On Decem-ber 31, 1967 the unit he was assigned to was patrolling a roadway. Around 1:00 a.m. the unit was hit with an RPG round. Eighteen of the soldiers in the unit were killed. John was seriously wounded and was burned over a large portion of his body.

On January 6, 1968 John’s family in Tennessee was notified that he had been killed in action. Devastated, the family mourned the loss of brother, son and fa-ther. On January 23, the family was noti-

fied again that John had lost his life. Confusion now invaded the families’ mourning and uncertainty about the circumstances of his death surfaced.

At the same time, John was a half a world away in Southeast Asia beginning the slow recovery from the injuries he received. Finally on February 2, 1968, John regained consciousness and was able to com-municate to his caregivers. Joyfully, on February 27, 1968 the family received the news that John was alive.

Over the next year, John was treated in hospitals in Japan, Ft. Sam Houston, and Nashville. He received two purple hearts for his service in the Army and he eventually came home to Eagleville.

John leads an active life, is often on the go, and makes friends wherever he is. He rarely misses a community event in Eagleville such as Chittlin sup-

Grady Granville Rowland This picture was taken in 1942. Grady had just fin-ished boot camp at Camp Cook, near Santa Barbara, California. Fundraisers for the Santa Barbara War Chest chose Grady’s picture to appear on five feet tall poster placed in banks and businesses all over Califor-nia. Only a few months earlier, the 21 year old farm boy had never been more than 30 miles from home. Now his face was being seen by millions. Grady sent this picture home to a proud mother.
