Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted May 26 Posted May 26 The town of Prescott Valley has taken the first step of a oprogram by the ttle name. They began with 50 names and ended up with 87. (I was #47)The ones selected have to be residents of Prescott Valley, honorably discharged veteran, and able to provide a phot of themselves. They are honored by having a "roughly' 2' x' 3 1/2' banner made with the picture, name, branch of service and rate /rank. Theses are mounted on light poles all around town hall and some other goverment offices, library. and police station, and a park. I have no idea who submitted my name but I think, if money is available, (and I understand that no public money is used) the program will be continued and expanded. I also think that this a grand and welcome way to honor our vets and have volunteered my help is it is needed. Check it out and see what you think. 7 3 Quote

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted May 30 Author Posted May 30 I truly hope it expands here and spreads to every square inch of the country. Pubic pressure could do this and I think it would drown a lot lefties emotionally. They'd blame it on Trump and the NRA. Quote
watab kid Posted May 30 Posted May 30 this is an honorable show of respect , there are many that got welcomed home after their service but there are a whole bunch that gt just the opposite and faced ridicule , disrespect and abuse's , these offenses can never be reversed , but perhaps we might show them that we regret that era one day , they deserved better and suffered the treatment much as they served their term of duty , one day , one moment of respect , might go a long way if enough offer it 1 1 Quote
Capt. R. Hugh Kidnme Posted May 30 Posted May 30 There are a few towns here in the Shenandoah Valley that do likewise. I always feel a bit more patriotic when I drive through those towns. A very good tribute. 2 Quote
Subdeacon Joe Posted May 30 Posted May 30 Several cities in Sonoma County have been doing this for 20 years. It's a goodly custom. 2 Quote
