We have a new Veteran's Memorial Park. The dedication was this morning.
The park has ball fields for the kids to play on - baseball, soccer,
basketball.... The land was purchased in 1993, planning started in 2003
and it is just now finished. We had a nice ceremony pointing out that
without the veterans, the kids would not be able to play ball like they
can now. I hope some of them remember that when they go there. The Boy
Scouts were there and helped with the raising of the flag. Sadly, we did
not have any WWII vets there as they are pretty much all gone, but we
had quite a few from Korea, Vietnam, Dessert Storm and Iraq. Every
branch was represented, including the Coast Guard.











What a fine tribute!
