Iraq, Vietnam war vets to lead parade

By JASON STARR

ADAM STEINAdam Stein represents

a sea change in the Essex Memorial Day Parade’s recognition of war veterans. He is the fi rst parade grand marshal of the modern, Middle East wars.

“It is hard to fi nd a [local] Korean War veteran or a World War II veteran,” said Ed Daudelin, an Essex Parade Committee member who helps choose grand marshals and who is being recognized for his service this year. “We thought it would be nice to show some recognition [to the younger veterans].”

Stein has felt support from Vietnam War-era vets, who weren’t always treated well upon returning to the United States in the 1960s and 1970s, when opposition to the war was fervent. Many of Daudelin’s peers resolved to treat newer war veterans with more respect.

“They wanted to make sure we were welcomed back with open arms, given credit and honored,” Stein said.

A New York native, Stein is the grandson of a World War II veteran. He moved to Essex with his wife and children in 2009.

Stein enlisted in

the Army in 1987 and was stationed in Germany at the end of the Cold War. He witnessed the fall of the Berlin Wall. After Iraq invaded

Kuwait, Stein deployed to Saudi Arabia for Operation Desert Shield and prepared to invade Iraq. It was the winter of 1991.

“The night we crossed the berm into Iraq it was [a] black-out drive following green chem-lights that marked mine-free lanes,” his biography for the parade committee reads. “It was an amazing sight knowing that this

was just one of the many armored divisions rolling into Iraq.”

The war was over soon after it began, and Stein returned to the U.S. to start a career with the U.S. Department of Justice. He was in New York City during the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and was a fi rst responder at the World Trade Center after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

Since arriving in Essex, Stein has been active in the Vermont Federal Law Enforcement Offi cers Association and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 6689 in Essex Jct.

sustained. Ed Daudelin, a village native,

Vietnam War veteran and retired Vermont National Guardsman, was part of a group that stepped in and effectively saved the parade. Seven years later, Daudelin is being honored as a grand marshal.

“We started with nothing and built it back into a force, so it is a huge honor,” he said.

Daudelin was born in Italy while his father was part of the occupying force there just after the end of WWII. Daudelin lived the life of a military son, growing up at Fort Ethan Allen, Fort Hood, Texas; and Nuremburg, Germany, before returning to Essex Junction in 1960.

Daudelin enlisted in the Army in 1968 and went to Vietnam the next year for

a 21-month tour of duty, splitting time between being a mechanic and flying combat missions. He was decorated with two bronze stars, an Army commendation medal, a valorous award and a presidential unit award.

Daudelin worked as a helicopter mechanic and a military trainer with the Vermont National Guard in 1980 until retiring in 2007 when he took his leadership role at the VFW and parade.

a run of recognition in the past year. Last October, the Vermont League of Cities and Towns honored Essex’s longtime municipal manager with its annual Municipal Service Award for his commitment to local government.

Vermont House of Representatives sponsored a resolution recognizing Scheidel for his public service, which was met with a standing ovation when it was read at Town Meeting in March.

Now Scheidel, who enlisted in the Navy in 1966 and was discharged in 1969, was chosen as a grand marshal in this year’s parade, honored for his service in the Vietnam War.

Scheidel served aboard the USS New Jersey and received a combat action ribbon, national defense service medal and Vietnam service medal with three bronze stars.

Scheidel’s role in Essex has shifted in recent years as he has split his time between managing the town and village, leading the two communities’ efforts to merge municipal functions.

He has served as the president of the Vermont Property and Casualty Intermunicipal Insurance Fund since 1998 and was formerly on the board of directors for Fanny Allen Hospital and the Governor’s Rail Council.

The memories of four Essex men who died in the Vietnam War will survive, thanks to the work of a local historian at the Essex Community Historical Society.

Ann Gray, who’s served on the society’s board for 12 years, has curated a memorial book detailing their lives.

That process included hours of research scouring Vietnam War websites and tracing ancestry ties. She also conducted interviews with people who personally knew the men.

Gray admits it was an emotional journey.

“I’ll tell you I cried a lot,” she said.

The memorial book will be on display at the Harriet Farnsworth Powell Museum, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.

The Essex Historical Society has curated fi ve exhibits to commemorate the milestone, focused on different aspects of life, including a business and industry section, home and farm and an overview of the town and the museum’s last 25 years.

A military section is also included, where the memorial book will accompany a list of Essex men and women who

We WillNever Forget.

As we celebrate with our loved ones on Memorial Day, we take pause to remember

the true meaning of this holiday: To honor the courageous men and women who made the

ultimate sacrifice for this great nation. We are eternally grateful for your bravery.

From our family to yours, Happy Memorial Day.

have served since 1991.Gray welcomed all to the museum’s opening day June 5 from 1-4

p.m. She hopes the community will stop by and learn more about the men.

“They gave their lives for us. Very soon there will be no one around that remembers them,” Gray said.

The memorial book includes an in-depth exploration of their lives, including numerous first-hand accounts. It was cumbersome work, Gray said, yet she believes it’s important for future generations to remember the men’s ultimate sacrifice.

Here’s a brief glimpse at their stories:

Bruce BakerBorn on May 21, 1947 in Concord, N.H., Baker attended Essex

Junction High School from 1962-64 before attending from Maine’s Hinckley High School in 1965.

He earned the Boy Scout Order of the Arrow award as a teenager and served as a mentor to younger scouts.

He enlisted in the Marine Corps on Aug. 25, 1965, and after training for a month, was sent to Okinawa, Japan. Nearly a year later, Baker died from sustained wounds to the abdomen and chest while fighting hostile forces.

David Baker, Bruce’s brother, died in an automobile accident in 1972. They’re buried next to one another in Fairview Cemetery, along with their father, Donald, a World War II veteran.

The historical society received Baker’s Purple Heart in a ceremony last July.

Stewart Lavigne Born to Leo and Katherine Day Lavigne on Dec. 4, 1950, Lavigne

lived in Essex Junction’s Indian Acres. He attended Hiawatha Elementary School and Essex Junction High School.

One of five boys, Lavigne and his brothers loved the outdoors. When they were as young as 13, their father would drop them off at a point on Long Trail where they camped out on their own for a week at a time.

Set to graduate from high school in 1969, Lavigne left early to enlist in the army, becoming an H-I door gunner/crew chief.

During one mission, Lavigne’s helicopter was shot down. Only after he managed to escape did he realize the pilot was still at the crash site, and Lavigne returned to rescue him.

The close call wasn’t enough to keep Lavigne off the ground, however. On August 19, his helicopter was shot down a second time, this time killing him and seven others.

He was 18 years old. Many of his classmates emailed memories to Gray, which are

included, verbatim, in a notebook that will remain permanently at the museum.

Gray highlighted one email in particular from Lavigne’s classmate, Dave Adams.

“Stew was a real hero,” Adams wrote. “He joined the military at a time when that wasn’t such a good idea but was something he felt he needed to do. He was thinking of others and not of himself … We are all better off for having known him.”

Bernard RitchieBorn to Clarence and Barbara Martin

Ritchie on Jan. 17, 1948, Ritchie enlisted in the Marine Corps as a 20-year-old in Albany, N.Y.

He married Carol Ann Baxendale, daughter of John and Mary Greenough Baxendale of Essex Junction, on Nov. 16, 1968.

Less than two months later, he arrived in Vietnam, where he was killed in Quang Nam after a confrontation

with enemy forces during “Operation Oklahoma Hills.”

He was 21 years old. He’s buried in Fairview Cemetery and

received a posthumous Purple Heart. Nothing is known of what happened to Ritchie’s wife, Carol, after his death.

Eugene TreadwellBorn on June 17, 1943, Treadwell

lived in Essex Center when he enlisted, attaining the status of sergeant before he was killed in action on Feb. 3, 1968 in Thua Thien-Hue at age 24.

He’s buried in the Milford Cemetery in Maine. The memorial book includes details provided by Treadwell’s nephew, Hank, of the battle where he lost his life.

Treadwell was posthumously awarded a Purple Heart for his service.

“They gave their lives for us. Very soon there will be no one around that remembers them.”

Missions accomplished

Vermont Guard Cpt. and Georgia resident Zachariah Fike’s devoted search began at Christmas 2009, when his mother gave him a life-changing gift: his first Purple Heart medal, one posthumously awarded to Pvt. Corrado A.G. Piccoli, killed in action in WWII.

“I knew what it symbolized,” Fike said of the gift, “and I knew it didn’t belong to me.”

A military brat who can trace his lineage to the Revolutionary War, Fike has served for 17 years and earned his own Purple Heart after he was wounded in Afghanistan on Sept. 11, 2010.

Piccoli’s Purple Heart set him on a new mission. In 2012, he formed Purple Hearts Reunited, his one-man operation that locates lost or stolen military medals and returns them to veterans or their families. To date, the organization has returned more than 150 medals to families across the country.

Last July, Purple Hearts Reunited held one of its first Vermont ceremonies, bestowing a Purple Heart upon Pfc. Bruce Allen Baker, a U.S. Marine who was killed at age 19 in Vietnam in 1966. Baker is buried in Fairview Cemetery on Old

Colchester Road in Essex.Baker’s Purple Heart was

found at an antique store in Essex Jct. — with Baker’s name inscribed — and was handed over to the Vermont National Guard. The Guard contacted Purple Hearts Reunited to research Baker’s personal history and coordinate a reunion of the medal and Baker’s family members.

According to Essex Historical Society member Paula DeMichele, research shows Baker went to Essex High School for a year before joining the Marines. Some locals remember him as their newspaper delivery boy, she said. But the historical society was unable to locate any family members of Baker’s to accept the medal.

Instead, they framed it for public display at the Harriet Farnsworth Powell Museum along with a photo of Baker.

A collectable artifact, Purple Hearts can sell for upward of $300 depending on their history. Fike pays out-of-pocket online and at pawnshops and estate sales to rescue them, and people mail up to five weekly asking for help.

Working out of his home office three hours a day, seven days

a week, he searches through public records and indexes his finds in eight databases he created. More than 1 million Americans earned a Purple Heart since the medal was first awarded during World War I, but there is no official recipient list.

It can take between two minutes and a year to find a recipient. Sometimes, Fike finds 10 pages of service history; other times, he hits dead-ends. But he’s never lost a trace.

Fike offers to perform ceremonies for military families and travels to veterans’ hometowns on his own dime to formally present the medals. Each trip costs about $1,200, he said.

Ceremonies are held in living rooms or at public events, with congressmen and media present. Fike treats each one the same, asking families to share stories and painting

the veterans’ history with his extensive research.

“Lots of times, I’m telling families for the very first time things they never knew before,” he said, “even to the extremes of they thought he died this way, and he really died this way. So it can be very emotional.”

Even so, Fike makes the ceremonies celebratory, not somber. He presents a framed display of the medal, any certificates, a photo and flag. Fike also awards a $1,000 check in the veteran’s name for a college scholarship.

Fike has taken to sleeping in his car to save money, but he has no plans to stop.

“There are people all over the country who have these medals and never knew what to do with them,” he said. “Now they have a resource to turn to.”
