Veteran's Memorial Park

 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.
