Dr. Gerhard Klaus Bienek HUNTSVILLE - Dr. Gerhard Klaus Bienek, 60, passed away Wednesday, October 22, 2003 as the result of an automobile accident. As a humble 16-year old boy who knew less than a handful of English words, Gerhard Klaus Bienek immigrated with his mother in 1960 from Germany to the USA. With a lot of faith in his heart and the hope for a good future in a free country, he married Rosemarie Edeltraud Beier, also a recent German immigrant, in the Logan Temple on April 29, 1963. With lots of tender, and sometimes a bit of tough love, they raised three fine, outstanding children: Klaus, Peter, and Diane who have been, and are, their pride and joy. Through an iron will and tremendous effort, while raising three young children and caring and providing homes for two aging mothers, Dr. Gerhard Bienek earned his Bachelor of Arts in Biology in 1971, and his Ph.D. in Parasitology and Ecology in 1974, both at the University of Utah. He belonged to distinguished scientific societies like The American Society of Parasitology, Rocky Mountain Society of Parasitologists, Ecological Society of America, and the New York Academy of Science, to name a few. He was a published author of numerous biological science papers. Working for government, industry, and universities at different times, Dr. Bienek worked as Ecological Parasitologist, Wildlife Biologist, Endangered Species Coordinator, and university professor in conducting and supervising studies on black bears, wild horses in the Utah desert, pollution, sewage treatment, rehabilitation of silver mines, among many others. Dr. Bienek”s crowning work was the organization and supervision of a multi-million dollar, government funded study on the Artic Right Whale. He also was instrumental in gaining funding for the Eskimos to record their history. He also led a number of university students on an Arctic expedition. Dr. Bienek was a faithful member and high priest in the LDS faith. Together with his wife, he dedicated the last few years to the successful search for thousands of his ancestors and took great satisfaction in finishing a hard copy of these Family History books the day before his untimely death through a car accident. Surviving are his wife, Rosemarie Edeltraud Beier Bienek, Huntsville; Klaus Gerhard Bienek, Huntsville; Peter Ralph Bienek, Huntsville; Dr. Diane Rose Bienek, Lindenhurst, IL; Also surviving are one brother, Werner Bienek and his wife, Lotte of Alberta, Canada; and one sister, Anneliese Ingrid Bienek of Salt Lake City.

Only $89,500 History of Veterans Day Official recognition of the end of the first modern global conflict—World War I—was made in a concurrent resolution (44 Stat. 1982) enacted by Congress on June 4, 1926, with these words: WHEREAS the 11th of November 1918, marked the cessation of the most destructive, sanguinary, and far reaching war in human annals and the resumption by the people of the United States of peaceful relations with other nations, which we hope may never again be served, and WHEREAS it is fitting that the recurring anniversary of this date should be commemorated with thanksgiving and prayer and exercises designed to perpetuate peace through good will and mutual understanding between nations; and WHEREAS the legislatures of twenty-seven of our States have already declared November 11 to be a legal holiday: Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That the President of the United States is requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on November 11 and inviting the people of the United States to observe the day in schools and churches, or other suitable places, with appropriate ceremonies of friendly relations with all other peoples. An Act (52 Stat. 351; 5 U. S. Code, Sec. 87a) approved May 13, 1938, made the 11th of November in each year a legal holiday— a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be hereafter celebrated and Known as ‘Armistice Day. ‘ “Armistice Day “ was primarily a day set aside to honor veterans of World War I, but in 1954, after World War II had required the greatest mobilization of soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen in the Nation’s history; after American forces had fought aggression in Korea, the 83rd Congress, at the urging of the veterans’ service organizations, amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word “Armistice” and inserting in lieu thereof the word ‘Veterans.’ With the approval of this legislation (Public Law 380) on June 1, 1954, November 11th became a day to honor American veterans of all wars. Later that same year, on October 8th, President Dwight D. Eisenhower issued the first ‘Veterans Day Proclamation ‘ which stated: “In order to insure proper and widespread observance of this Mountain Green Beautiful Trapper’s Point home. 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath, main floor Master on .31 acre lot.

Huntsville town. anniversary, all veterans, all veterans’ organizations, and the entirecitizenry will wish to join hands in the common purpose. Toward thisend, I am designating the Administrator of Veterans’ Affairs as Chairman of a Veterans Day National Committee, which shall include such other persons as the Chairman may select, and which will coordinate at the national level necessary planning for the observance. I am also requesting the heads of all departments and agencies of the Executive branch of the Government to assist the National Committee in every way possible. “ A letter from the President to the Honorable Harvey V. Higley, Administrator of Veterans’ Affairs, was sent on the same date designating him to serve as Chairman. In 1958, the White House advised the VA’s General Counsel that there was no need for another letter of appointment for each new Administrator, as the original proclamation in 1954 established the Committee with the Administrator of Veterans’ Affairs as Chairman. The Uniforms Holiday Bill (Public Law 90-363 (82 Stat. 250)) was signed on June 28, 1968, and was intended to insure threeday weekends for Federal employees by celebrating four national holidays on Mondays—Washington’s Birthday, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Columbus Day. It was thought that these extended weekends would encourage travel, recreational and cultural activities and stimulate greater industrial and commercial production. Many states did not agree with this decision and continued to celebrate the holidays on their original dates. The first Veterans Day under the new law was observed with much confusion on October 25, 1971. It was quite apparent that the commemoration of this day was a matter of historic and patriotic significance to a great number of our citizens, and so on September 20th, 1975, President Gerald R. Ford signed Public Law 94-97 (89 Stat. 479) which would return the annual observance of Veterans Day to its original date of November 11, beginning in 1978. This action supported the express will of the overwhelming majority of the State legislatures, all major service organizations and the American people. The restoration of the observance of Veterans Day to November 11 will help preserve in the hearts and lives of all our citizens the spirit of patriotism, the love of country and the willingness to serve and Sacrifice for the common good symbolized by this very special day.
