Steve Lippia “Simply Sinatra”
November 29, 2011
7:30 pm
SFCC Theatre for the Performing Arts
“Simply Sinatra” is a walk down memory lane celebrating the music of Old Blue Eyes. Sinatra’s musical director Vincent Falcone thought he had stumbled on an old Sinatra recording the first time he heard Steve Lippia’s demo tape. It also fooled Lee Solters, Sinatra’s publicist for 26 years. He has headlined sold-out shows from Las Vegas to Atlantic City, accompanied by a 10-piece band.

THE HISTORY OF VETERANS DAY
November 11, or what has come to be known as Veterans Day, was originally set as a U.S. legal holiday to honor Armistice Day - the end of World War I, which officially took place on November 11, 1918. In legislature that was passed in 1938, November 11 was dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be hereafter celebrated and known as 'Armistice Day.' As such, this new legal holiday honored World War I veterans.
In 1954, after having been through both World War II and the Korean War, the 83rd U.S. Congress, at the urging of the veterans service organizations, amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word "Armistice" and inserting the word "Veterans." With the approval of this legislation on June 1, 1954, November 11 became a day to honor American veterans of all wars.
In 1968, the Uniforms Holiday Bill ensured three-day weekends for U.S. Federal employees by celebrating four national holidays on Mondays: Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Columbus Day. Under this bill, Veterans Day was moved to the last Monday of October. Many states did not agree with this decision and continued to celebrate the holiday on its original date. The first Veterans Day under the new law was observed with much confusion on October 25, 1971.
Finally on September 20, 1975, U.S. President Gerald R. Ford signed a law which returned the annual observance of Veterans Day to its original date of November 11, beginning in 1978. Since then, the Veterans Day holiday has been observed on November 11.
American Legion Monument
Inscription on Monument near American Legion Building, Wauchula, Florida:
"They, whom the inscription upon the memorial commemorated, are those from Hardee County, who at the final call, left all that was dear to them, endured hardships, faced danger, and finally passed out of the sight of man by the path of duty and self-sacrifice, giving their lives that others might live in freedom. Let those who come after see to it that their names be not forgotten."
