Bird’s Eye View (May 21, 2014)

Please give serious consideration to attending the Memorial Day service at the Memorial Wall in the Evergreen Cemetery on AV Way on Monday, May 26 at 10am. This is ultimately why the upcoming holiday weekend exists and a special and quite short event is being put on by the AV Veterans to commemorate those who have died while serving in the military. With US servicemen and women continuing to perish in various theaters of war, a good turnout would surely be a sign that their efforts have not been in vain and are deeply appreciated by those of us who live on.
