To the editor: Lincoln AMVETS Post 71 received a memorial gift
this week, on behalf of Lt. Martha Marie Fleming, in the amount of
$1,000 from Lincoln resident and mother Ms. Elvira Fleming.
The donation outlined above was in response to the uninsured ice
and storm damage done to the flags and flagpoles at All Veterans
Park in Lincoln during last week's ice storm. The damage and the
estimated cost of repairs was $1,000.
Ms. Elvira Fleming had previously purchased a granite brick for
her daughter, and it is presently displayed in All Veterans Park in
Lincoln.
If you, too, would like to purchase a $35 engraved brick to honor
any veteran, male or female, from any branch of service, please
contact Les Van Bibber at 217-732-3438, the AMVETS office at
217-732-8829 or pick up a blank form from the dispenser located near
the veterans monument in All Veterans Park.
