Brothers

Just taking a moment to give you a 2nd qtr update.

Everyone did great on the drive for the monument, you exceeded the goal of raising the funds to cover the stone. For the first time the Veteran’s committee has a surplus of funds available.  We are finalizing the details for the monument at the cemetery and as soon as we get a date for a dedication, we will post it so anyone who wants to attend will be able to. Memorial Day is coming up. There are many observances statewide, check with your local cemeteries and municipalities for the ones closest to you.

We would love to hear from any of you who have ideas for Veteran related projects.
