Local American Legion presents plan for veterans banners in downtown Milan
Summary
An American Legion representative proposed a veterans banner project to the council on April 11 to honor veterans of different eras, starting with older veterans and possibly including those who are deceased or missing in action.
Josh Wieringa, representing the American Legion Milan Post, presented a proposal for a Veterans Banner Project at the April 11 Milan City Council meeting.
Wieringa described the plan as a way to honor Milan veterans "starting with the older to the younger" and indicated the project could include veterans who have passed away or are missing in action. He asked the council and community to support the fundraising effort for banners to be placed downtown.
Main Street Director Jill Tewsley expressed strong support for the veteran banners and encouraged residents to participate; Tewsley said she was "highly in favor of the veteran banners" and urged people to read about the kindness campaign. No formal council vote or funding request for the banner project is recorded in the minutes.
