Honoring Our Veterans
It was an absolutely perfect day for being outside. Today, many Paxton residents started their day at Glen Cemetary to place Flags on the graves of all the Veterans. Most folks in town have done this for decades and it was wonderful to see everyone young and old helping out and having fun. Many of these volunteers from the American Legion Auxiliary post went on to distribute Poppies around town. Quite a busy morning for everyone. Thank you all for supporting our Veterans. From There we went out to the Memorial sign and raised the P.O.W./M.I.A. Flag and did some clean up. From there on to Union Street where we placed Flags down the entire 300 blk of N. Union and Some of E. Pine St. Just our way Paying our respect to the Men and Women of The Armed Forces who served this Nation throughout our history. Though we forgot to take out camera out to Glen Cemetary we did get some photo’s pf the Memorial sign which you can see here
Glen and Ruth, while taking some photo’s I met a couple from the Chicago area who were visiting Paxton. Avery nice coupl who were in town participating in something called Geo- casting ( I think lol) It’s like a treasure hunt. You get the coordinents ( and spell check lol) from a web site and you have to find the Items which are sometimes in the wildest places. When you find the little container you open it and sign the log insde and proceed to the next item. Anyway it was nice to meet you folks and I wish you well in your journeys.
