The delivery of Christmas gifts to all the veterans
in the local nursing homes was set.
Louise Cobb, widow of Everett, related to the AMVETS
and Auxiliary the honor that was bestowed upon Everett and 13 of his
buddies at a memorial ceremony of his boat LST325.
Gifts to veterans
On Dec. 18, Lincoln AMVETS Post 71 and its Ladies
Auxiliary delivered 41 gifts to the veterans residing in the three
nursing homes in Lincoln. This has been an annual project for the
past several years.
Gifts were presented to 40 male veterans and one
female veteran.
AMVETS members have participated in three military
funeral burial details.
A reminder to all veterans, loved ones of veterans
and even friends that the personalized bricks are still for sale.
Several have been purchased for Christmas gifts, and they do provide
a most heartwarming gift for any occasion. Each brick is only $35.
Forms can be secured from the container at All Veterans Park or by
calling 217-732-8829. Get yours now so they can be laid in the
spring or our next laying in the Veterans Honor Roll surrounding the
memorial monument in All Veterans Park. The forms are
self-explanatory. Get your orders in and join the 2,100 now in the
Veterans Honor Roll.
Dates were picked for the next few meetings: May 21,
2007, July 16, 2007, and Sept. 17, 2007.
