Chuck Krawczyk putting in the last 2 crosses of the season. It was a pretty cold day. Thanks, Chuck!

We've taken down the service flags at Liberty Memorial Park for the winter, as well as the flags of men who died in service who had not yet been adopted. With a white backdrop of snow and the flags gone, it's hard to see the crosses that are there, so we decided to add some greenery to make it a little more prominent and to honor these servicemen.

Thank you, Helene and Kevin Allard, from McNeilly's for donating a beautiful wreath for the kiosk, and Ruth and Jim Sutton of ElHannon Nursery for donating swags for the service flagpoles. You guys rock!

We still have 27 servicemen who need to be adopted, 22 are from the Civil War, 3 from WWII and 2 from WWI. Cost is $200 to purchase a memorial cross that includes their name, where and when they died, and the war in which they served.

So many lessons can be learned from this video.
Thank you Ross McGinnis and others who have paid the ultimate price for the sacrifices you made for our freedom.
