Former Vice President of Liberia, Bishop Bernie D. Warner, believes that it is about time the Government of Liberia accepts his recommendation to build a national monument to honor the memory of President William R. Tolbert. He was vice president to President Tolbert (1977 to April 1980), until the military coup de’tat of the People’s Redemption Council. Decoration Day was made an official national holiday on 24 October 1916 through an Act of the National Legislature. At the same time, Dr. Tolbert and other family members provide lectures on nationalism and good citizenship that their forebear, (President Tolbert) promoted as President of Liberia. But for former vice president Bennie Dee Warner (born 30 April 1935), he continues to plead with the Liberian government to build National Monument to honor President William R. Tolbert.
