Veterans Park Memorial Groundbreaking Ceremony
 The
Veterans Park Memorial Groundbreaking Ceremony on Saturday, March 4,
was a huge success! Over 100 veterans and citizens attended the
ceremony. Special guests included Mayor Cluck, Councilwoman Kathryn
Wilemon, State Representative Kent Grusendorf, Medal of Honor
recipient Col. James L. Stone and family members of Spec.Russell Nahvi
who was killed in Iraq last October.
Pomp and circumstance abounded with the US Marine Corps Color
Guard, music from area high school musicians, words of wisdom from
Col. Stone, recognition of the Nahvi family and a simulated dynamite
blast to break ground. Thanks to everyone who helped make this
groundbreaking ceremony such a memorable event!
