Eisenhower Walk of Honor
and Veterans Memorial
DWIGHT DAVID EISENHOWER
October 14, 1890 - March 28, 1969 EARLY YEARS
Dwight David Eisenhower, born on October 14, 1890, the third of six sons to a modest
family in Denison, Texas, was raised in Abilene, Kansas. He excelled in baseball
and football in high school. Eisenhower saw education as a way to better himself
and became as much a scholar as he was an athlete.
Eisenhower grew up demonstrating core values of determination, honesty, self-reliance and hard work that would eventually earn him an appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York in 1911, and destined him to become Supreme Allied Commander of the mightiest army of fighting forces ever to wage war in freedom's cause. In 1915, he was commissioned Second Lieutenant and a year later, married Mamie Geneva Doud of Denver, Colorado. Their first son Iky, was born in 1917 and died in 1920, and their second son John was born in 1922. From 1915 to 1919, Eisenhower served in the Infantry and quickly earned the temporary rank of Lieutenant Colonel during World War I. From 1918 to 1922, he commanded 6,000 men at Tank Training Center near Gettysburg, PA. In the next three years, Eisenhower was assigned as Executive Officer of Camp Gaillard in the Panama Canal Zone and served in various capacities in Maryland and Colorado until August, 1925 when he returned to the classroom as a student. In recognition of Eisenhower's professional skills and ability to lead, he was ordered to attend Command and General Staff School at Ft. Leavenworth. Out of 275 students he graduated first in his class June, 1926. For the next fourteen years, Eisenhower studied at Army War College and Army Industrial College, served in executive positions as Aide to Assistant Secretary of War and to Army Chief of Staff, General MacArthur. Later, he became MacArthur's Assistant Military Advisor in the Philippines. By 1940, Eisenhower was a permanent Lieutenant Colonel and well on his way to a prominent Army career. Before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, he served as Regimental Executive to the 15th Infantry Chief of Staff 3rd Division, the 9th Army Corps and the 3rd Army. Between March and September, 1941, Eisenhower was promoted to Colonel and soon thereafter to Brigadier General. After war was declared against Japan and Germany, Eisenhower was assigned to General Staff, Washington, D.C. and later as Chief of War Plans Division of the War Department General Staff. By April, 1942, he was appointed Assistant Chief of Staff in charge of Operations Division for General George C. Marshall, who was Army Chief of Staff - the highest ranking Army Officer. Later in 1942, Major General Eisenhower was named Commander-in-Chief, Allied Forces, North Africa with the assignment to invade the African continent and then direct the 1943 Allied invasion of Sicily and Italy.
SUPREME ALLIED COMMANDER, WORLD WAR II
34th PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
In December, 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, with the approval of Prime
Minister, Winston Churchill, promoted General Eisenhower to Supreme Commander of
the Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe. The General's sole purpose was to plan
and direct the invasion of Europe at Normandy, and push German military forces
back into the City of Berlin for defeat by Allied Forces.
Eisenhower's ability to make independent and tough decisions as Commander of American Troops in European Theater, leading the invasions of North Africa, Sicily and Italy to victory, and his proven talent for consensus-building among all American, British, Canadian and French Armed Forces were the decisive factors in his promotion. "My overriding concern is to bring conflicting nationalistic impulses into one irresistible drive to victory." Eisenhower said upon accepting his promotion. On June 6, 1944, "Overlord," the largest air and sea invasion in world history, began. In less than a month, over one million invading Allied Forces had landed on the French Beaches of Normandy to begin the campaign to liberate France. Upon completing the Normandy landing, Eisenhower broadcasted to Frenchmen. "This landing is but the opening phase of the campaign in Western Europe. Great battles lie ahead. I call upon all who love freedom to stand with us now." Six months later in December, 1944, Eisenhower received his fifth star - General of the Army. These great historic battles were Battle of the Bulge in Ardennes, the battle in Rhineland and, finally the Berlin Battle. Over 4,000,000 soldiers, sailors and airmen were under the command of General Eisenhower by the end of the war. After Germany officially signed an "unconditional" surrender at Reims, France, several members of Eisenhower's staff prepared their own illustrious announcements of the war's end. However, when it came time to make the broadcast, Eisenhower simply stated, "The mission of this Allied Force was fulfilled at 0241 local time, May 7, 1945. Eisenhower continued to serve his country after the war as Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army beginning in 1945, and as Supreme Commander of NATO Forces in 1950, before becoming the 34th President of the United States in 1953. Eisenhower served two terms, a total of eight years, before retiring to civilian life. During his presidency, he negotiated the Korean Armistice with China, established Southeast Asia Treaty Organization to keep U.S. troops out of Southeast Asia and to ward off Chinese aggression against Taiwan, and continued attempts to establish a test ban treaty with Russia. Reflecting on his retirement, Eisenhower said, "I want to go to some peaceful place, some private place, where I can sit beside a lazy stream and have a lazy hook for fish." He found that lazy stream, and also found a home in a quiet small community where he could relax, play golf in warm winter sun and meet with world leaders, including John F. Kennedy. That quiet small community became the City of Indian Wells in 1967. |
"Do Your Duty to God and Country and
History Will Do You Justice"
The Eisenhower Walk of Honor allows us all to recall the debt of gratitude owed
to ordinary people for extraordinary acts of patriotism and courage. Men and
women doing their duty for their country, honorably and with integrity.
This tribute to all armed forces veterans was conceived and designed with the vision of purpose to honor this nation's proud warriors, and remind all generations of the sacrifices these men, women and their families have made. The Memorial's centerpiece, the "eternal water spring," exemplifies the uninterrupted flow of sacrifice for the spirit of freedom. The water feature is surrounded by five Medal of Honor recipients with ties to the Coachella Valley. Truly, these five men are exceptional heroes and deserving of our honor. The Memorial is also a place to honor Indian Wells residents having served in our Armed Forces. Carved into a wall of granite are deserving residents identified by rank, name and branch of service. When presented the vision of building this Memorial, the City Council eagerly approved the project and proceeded to demonstrate their Indian Wells' devotion to honoring those who have given to the cause of freedom for all Americans in the past and for future generations to come. |
MITCHELL PAIGE
Rank and organization: Platoon Sergeant, U.S. Marine Corps. Place and date:
Solomon Islands, 26 October 1942. Entered service at: Pennsylvania. Born: 31
August 1918, Charleroi, PA. Citation: For extraordinary heroism and conspicuous
gallantry in action above and beyond the call of duty while serving with the
Second Battalion, Seventh Marines, First Marine Division, in combat against enemy
Japanese forces in the Solomon Islands Area on October 26, 1942. When the enemy
broke through the line directly in front of his position, Platoon Sergeant Paige,
commanding a machine gun section with fearless determination, continued to direct
the fire of his gunners until all his men were either killed or wounded. Alone,
against the deadly hail of Japanese shells, he manned his gun, and when it was
destroyed, took over another, moving from gun to gun, never ceasing his withering
fire against the advancing hordes until reinforcements finally arrived. Then,
forming a new line, he dauntlessly and aggressively led a bayonet charge, driving
the enemy back and preventing a break-through in our lines. His great personal
valor and unyielding devotion to duty were in keeping with the highest tradition
of the United States Naval Service.

LEWIS L. MILLETT
Rank and organization: Captain U. S. Army, Company E, 27th Infantry Regiment. Place
and date: Vicinity of Soam-Ni, Korea, 7 February 1951. Entered service at: Mechanic
Falls, Maine. Born: 15 December 1920, Mechanic Falls, Maine. G. O. No.: 69, 2
August 1951. Citation: Capt. Millett, Company E, distinguished himself by conspicuous
gallentry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty in action. While personally
leading "his company" against a strongly held position, he noted that the 1st Platoon was
pinned down by small-arms, automatic, and anti-tank fire. Capt. Millett ordered the 3rd
Platoon forward, placed himself at the head of the 2 platoons, and, with fixed bayonet,
led the assault up the fire-swept hill. In the fierce charge, Capt. Millett bayoneted 2
enemy soldiers and boldly continued on, throwing grenades, clubbing and bayoneting the
enemy, whild urging his men forward by shouting encouragement. Despite vicious opposing
fire, the whirlwind hand-to-hand assault carried to the crest of the hill. His dauntless
leadership and personal courage so inspired his men that they stormed into the hostile
position and used their bayonets with such lethal effect that the enemy fled is wild
disorder. During this fierce onslaught, Capt. Millett was wounded by grenade fragments
but refused evacuation until the objective was taken and firmly secured. The superb
leadership, conspicuous courage, and consummate devotion to duty demonstrated by
Capt. Millett were directly responsible for the successful accomplishment of a
hazardous mission and reflect the highest credit on himself and the heroic traditions
of the military service.

WILLIAM L. McGONAGLE
Rank and organization: Captain (then Comdr.) U. S. Navy, U.S.S. Liberty (AGTR-5). Place
and date: International waters, Eastern Mediterranean, 8-9 June 1967. Entered service at:
Thermal, CA. Born 19 November 1925, Wichita, KS. Citation: For conspicuous gallentry
and intrepidity at the risk of his own life above and beyond the call of duty. Sailing
in international waters, the Liberty was attacked without warning by jet fighter aircraft
and motor torpedo boats which inflicted many casualties among the crew and caused extreme
damage to the ship. Although severely wounded during the first air attack, Capt.
McGonagle remained at his battle station on the badly damaged bridge and, with full
knowledge of the seriousness of his wounds, subordinated his own welfare to the safety and
survival of his command. Steadfastly refusing any treatment which would take him away from
his post, he calmly continued to exercise firm command of his ship. Despite continuous
exposure to fire, he maneuvered his ship, directed its defense, supervised the control of
flooding and fire, and saw to the care of casualties. Capt. McGonagle's extraordinary
valor under these conditions inspired the surviving members of the Liberty's crew, many
of them seriously wounded, to heroic efforts to overcome the battle damage and keep the
ship afloat. Subsequent to the attack, although in great pain and weak from the loss of
blood, Capt. McGonagle remained at his battle station and continued to command his ship
for more than 17 hours. It was only after the rendezvous with a U.S. destroyer that he
relinquished personal control of the Liberty and permitted himself to be removed from
the bridge. Even then, he refused much needed medical attention until convinced that
the seriously wounded among his crew had been treated. Capt. McGonagle's superb
professionalism, courageous fighting spirit, and valiant leadership saved his ship
and many lives. His actions sustain and enhance the finest traditions of the U.S.
Navy Service.

JAMES L. DAY
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond
the call of duty as a squad leader serving with the Second Battalion, Twenty-Second
Marines, Sixth Marine Division, in sustained combat operations against Japanese forces
on Okinawa, Ryukyu Islands from 14 to 17 May 1945. On the first day, Corporal Day
rallied his squad and the remnants of another unit and led them to a critical position
forward of the front lines of Sugar Loaf Hill. Soon thereafter, they came under an
intense mortar and artillery barrage that was quickly followed by a ferocious ground
attack by some forty Japanese soldiers. Despite the loss of one-half of his men,
Corporal Day remained at the forefront, shouting encouragement, hurling hand grenades,
and directing deadly fire, thereby repelling the determined enemy. Reinforced by six
men, he led his squad in repelling three fierce night attacks but suffered five
additional Marines killed and one wounded, whom he assisted to safety. Upon hearing
nearby calls for corpsman assistance, Corporal Day braved heavy enemy fire to escort
four seriously wounded Marines, one at a time, to safety. Corporal Day then manned
a light machine gun, assisted by a wounded Marine, and halted another night attack.
In the ferocious action his machine gun was destroyed, and he suffered multiple white
phosphorous and fragmentation wounds. He reorganized his defensive position in time
to halt a fifth enemy attack with devastating small arms fire. On three separate
occasions, Japanese soldiers closed in within a few feet of his foxhole, but were
killed by Corporal Day. During the second day, the enemy conducted numerous
unsuccessful swarming attacks against his exposed position. When the attacks
momentarily subsided, over 70 enemy dead were counted around his position. On the
third day, a wounded and exhausted Corporal Day repulsed the enemy's final attack,
killing a dozen enemy soldiers at close range. Having yielded no ground and with
more than 100 enemy dead around his position, Corporal Day preserved the lives of
his fellow Marines and made a significant contribution to the success of the
Okinawa campaign. By his exemplary heroism, repeated acts of valor, and
quintessential battlefield leadership, Corporal Day inspired the efforts of his
outnumbered Marines to defeat a much larger enemy force, reflecting great credit
upon himself and upholding the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the
United States Naval Service.

ROBERT EUGENE BUSH
Rank and organization: Hospital Apprentice First Class, U.S. Naval Reserve, serving
as Medical Corpsman with a rifle company, 2d Battalion, 5th Marines. Place and date:
Okinawa Jima, Ryukyu Islands, 2 May 1945. Entered service at: Washington. Born: 4
October 1926, Tacoma, Wash. Citation: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at
the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving as Medical
Corpsman with a rifle company in action against enemy Japanese forces on Okinawa
Jima, Ryukyu Islands, 2 May 1945. Fearlessly braving the fury of artillery, mortar,
and machine gun fire from strongly entrenched hostile positions, Bush constantly and
unhesitatingly moved from one casualty to another to attend the wounded falling under
the enemy's murderous barrages. As the attack passed over a ridge top, Bush was
advancing to administer blood plasma to a marine officer lying wounded on the skyline
when the Japanese launched a savage counterattack. In his perilously exposed position,
he resolutely maintained the flow of life-giving plasma. With the bottle held high in
one hand, Bush drew his pistol with the other and fired into the enemy's ranks until
his ammunition was expended. Quickly seizing a discarded carbine, he trained his
fire on the Japanese charging point blank over the hill, accounting for 6 of the
enemy despite his own serious wounds and the loss of one eye suffered during his
desperate battle in the defense of the helpless man. With the hostile force finally
routed, he calmly disregarded his own critical condition to complete his mission,
valiantly refusing medical treatment for himself until his officer patient had been
evacuated, and collapsing only after attempting to walk to the battle aid station.
His daring initiative, great personal valor, and heroic spirit of self-sacrifice in
the service of others reflect great credit upon Bush and enhance the finest traditions
of the U.S. Naval Service.
