Members of Lincoln AMVETS Post 71 and Lincoln
AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary delivered Christmas gifts Dec. 21 and 22 to
the 48 male veterans and two female veterans in the three nursing
homes in Lincoln. Members visited with each of the veterans, thanked
them for their service to our country and also visited other
residents.

There have been many inquiries about the gray granite bricks being
installed around All Veterans Memorial Monument in All Veterans
Park, and orders from veterans, family and friends are still being
accepted. The cost of the bricks for the Veterans Honor Roll is $35.
The next laying date is unknown at this time, but orders should be
sent in immediately so that all can be included at the next laying.
It takes considerable time to prepare the bricks. All bricks ordered
before Nov. 10 have been laid. Don't forget -- these make a
wonderful, lasting gift for any occasion also. This is just one way
to honor the veterans of all wars for their sacrifice and service to
our country.

Visit the park at Union and Pekin streets and College Avenue. You
will also feel the reverence that these veterans are being honored
with.
Forms are available in the container at the park, or call
732-8829 and a form can be mailed to you. They are fully
explanatory. Complete the form, attach your $35 and return to the
address given on the form.
