Our Library & Lunch program On November 11th, 2008, centered on Veterans Day.
Billie Parker recounted his trip to Washington, D.C. and the new WWII monument. Larry Phillips gave the history of the American Legion, our Post 210 and the V.F.W. Norma Miller used our books from the Iowa/Anita history section and touched on several local veterans from past wars.
Lyle Chesnut shared his great-great-grandfathers discharge papers from the Civil War. All those present took a tour of other displays in the Library including Bob Hagen’s WWII Navy collection, Lyle Chesnut’s Korean War (Punch Bowl) photo and Tubby Morgan’s WWII rationing stamps.
We all learned something new about our Anita men and women who have served in honor of America and the freedom we take for granted.
