There will be a Laying of the Roses at the Mahoning Vietnam Veterans Wall. on the Northwest corner of the square on 3 November starting at 1 PM.

Families of those we lost in Vietnam will place a Rose at the foot of the memorial as their loved ones name is read. They will each be escorted by a local Veteran.

Vietnam Veterans.... I forget their exact title...I know so many personally I forget names of groups...

I know who can probably answer any and all questions though. he was the speaker last year or year before and is currently the Commander of AL post 15 in Poland, Commander of the County American Legion, and Commander of Mahoning valley United veterans Council.

Email me for name and number.... Oliverem@sbcglobal.net (number....Oliverem@sbcglobal.net)
