Topeka's Veterans Day parade first for city
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA, Kan. — For Don Boose Sr, the sight of a Veterans Day parade Monday through downtown Topeka was a long time coming but much appreciated as he joined thousands of people lining the curbs.
It was the first Veterans Day parade on record for the state's capital city, which wound down Kansas Avenue before looping back past the east wing of the Statehouse. Scores of military vehicles carried flag-waiving veterans on the brisk morning.
morning.
"I think this is the best thing that ever happened to Topeka," said Boose, 63, a navy veteran who served during the Vietnam War.
those returning from combat.
the topeka parade was organized by Melissa Jarboe, wife of Army Sgt. Jamie jarboe who died last year from wounds suffered when he was shot by a sniper in Afghanistan. Other communities holding parades included Emporia, home of the first Veterans Day, Eskridge, Leavenworth and Manhattan.
Boose, who rescued downed pilots in the ocean from 1969 to 1973, said support for veterans now was much better than when he left the service. He recalled getting "the full treatment" from critics of the war who threw eggs at
"I felt safer over there. I would have gone back," Boose said. "We were just doing what we were told. If I had to do it all over I'd do it in heartbeat."
Gov. Sam Brownback stopped a "deuce and a half" cargo truck carrying Vietnam War veterans to present them with a proclamation marking Veterans Day. The governor later hopped on his motorcycle to join the parade route.
Michael Chavez, 63, was a Marine corporal stationed at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba from 1969 to 1971. He wore his day uniform of olive drab pants, brown shirt and black boots while watching the parade.

Military veterans and their spouses ride motorcycles in a Veterans Day parade on Monday in downtown, Topeka, Kan. Kansas military units fan out across the state to support numerous community activities to mark Veterans Day, including a parade through downtown Topeka.
"There were guys who did a lot more than me and I'm just here to respect them. God bless them all," Chavez said.
He said it was a little bit of an embarrassment that Topeka never had a parade to honor veterans, but was pleased to see so many participants and spectators.
"It just tells you something," Chavez said.
Army National Guard soldiers and Air National Guard airmen were going to local nursing homes and assisted living centers to hand out certificates of appreciation to veterans for their service.

Child killer wants to donate his organs
ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBUS, Ohio — A condemned child killer who has abandoned his remaining appeals asked Monday for the chance to donate his organs to his allying mother and sister either before or after his execution this week.
the request by Ronald Phillips to donate a kidney and his heart is not a delay tactic, but rather an attempt to make a final gesture for good, according to his public defender.
"It is our sincere hope that the state of Ohio will do the right thing to ensure that as many people as possible will benefit from the gift of life that Ron is so generously willing to bestow as his own life approaches its end," attorney Lisa Lagos said in an interview.
*phillips would also be willing to donate organs to other individuals if it's not possible to help his relatives, his attorneys said in a Monday letter to the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction.
Ohio prisons agency spokeswoman JoEllen Smith declined to comment.
"Ron is making this generous request without any conditions or expectations," according to the letter obtained by The Associated Press.
Phillips was sentenced to die for the rape and death of his girlfriend's 3-year-old daughter in Akron in 1993.
The 40-year-old man is scheduled to die Thursday by an untried injection of a sedative and painkiller that has never been used in a U.S. execution.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich last week rejected Phillips' request for mercy, and Lagos said Phillips has dropped all his appeals.
Phillips' mother has kidney disease and is on dialysis and his sister has a heart condition, the letter said.
Phillips' lawyers note Ohio has stopped using two drugs that damaged an innate's organs — one a paralyzing agent, the other a drug that stops the heart.
On Thursday, Ohio plans to use midazolam, a sedative, and hydromorphone, a painkiller. It was not immediately clear Monday what effect those might have on organs.
An Ohio State surgeon who has closely studied lethal injection says donated organs typically come from people who are brain dead but still have heart beats and are breathing with the help of a respirator. Phillips would not fit this category, said Dr. Jonathan Groner in an email.
