- Village of Wappingers Falls Unit member Tyler Windheim, right, recently used his hobby as a way to pay tribute to our nation’s veterans. Windheim, a laborer for the village’s water department, used his talent for wood carving to create a majestic eagle situated outside Veterans of Foreign Wars William B. Wilson Post 666 in Beacon. Windheim’s father, Pete Windheim, is a member of Post 666 who approached his son to create something that could replace a prior monument that had fallen into disrepair. The result, a 250-pound eagle statue that is 13 feet high, with wings spanning eight feet, was dedicated during Post 666’s Veterans Day Ceremony on Nov. 11. Windheim is pictured here at the dedication with his father.
