To the editor: Lincoln AMVETS Post 71 would like to ask all Logan
County residents to fly their flags on Veterans Day, Nov. 11,
weather permitting, to honor all Logan County veterans, both living
and deceased.
We would also like to invite the public to visit All Veterans
Park, located on the corner of Union and Pekin streets in Lincoln,
because throughout the past year we have continued to install new
granite bricks purchased to honor our veterans' service. We have a
directory that is very user-friendly, and directions for its use are
inside the notebook that is located at the brick display site.
This holiday season is an excellent time to purchase a new $35
granite brick for a veteran, living or deceased, in your family. All
veterans, male or female, are eligible, including those serving in
the Reserve, National Guard, Coast Guard or regular full-time
military service involving honorable service from the Civil War to
the present conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. This service can be
either peacetime or during war. The bricks purchased will be laid in
All Veterans Park as soon as possible. There are blank order forms
available in a display holder located at the brick display site. For
more information, contact Ruth Haak at 217-732-8829.
