St. John United Church youth to honor veterans
Nov. 6

[October 29, 2011]  The youth group of St. John United Church of Christ is sponsoring its 10th annual celebration and dance to recognize veterans. The event will be from 5 to 7:30 p.m. Nov. 6 at the American Legion in Lincoln. The evening will include a light meal from 5 to 6 p.m., and the Don Smith Orchestra will provide dance music from 5 to 7:30 as well as a tribute to the various branches of military service.

Although invitations have been sent to veterans, some address changes have caused many to be returned. It is not too late for any veteran who did not receive theirs to call in their reservation to Tonita Reifsteck, 732-9796, or the church, 732-6957, so seating can be arranged.

The youth group along with their sponsors, Jonathan and Tami Pagel, plan and hold fundraisers all year for this celebration to honor the veterans of Logan County or any veteran who was deployed from Logan County.

In addition, the youth group of St. John United Church will honor the veterans from the church on Nov. 6 during the 10:30 a.m. worship service with a "Litany Remembering All Those Who Serve" and will present each veteran with a special gift. Those veterans are Loren Birnbaum, Josh Bismark, Adam Bock, Bob Borowiak, Charles Brainard, Erik Brickman, Kenneth Brickman, John Cassens, Rod Christensen, Phillip Gehlbach, William Gehlbach, Gerald Gehrke, Dan Gosda, Gerald Gosda, David Hansen, Homer Harris Jr., Nelson "Gene" Johnson, Jack Leich, Robert T. Lenhardt, Eric Leslie, Don McCann, Scott Mara, Robert Meinershagen, Anthony Morey, Richard Morgan, Wilbur Paulus, Arthur Rohrer, Ron Sprague, Ray Turner, Donald Werkman, Lawrence Wilham Jr., James Wilmert and Wilbur Wilmert.
