Civic spirit
Several years ago members of Post 374
in East Liverpool, along with VFW Post 66,
adopted a wall and flower planter on a
sharp bend in the east end section of East
Liverpool. They painted the wall and plant
flowers each year along with new flags for
all veteran's holidays. They also take
care of five other monuments including a
lonely Civil War grave off by itself.
Pictured is this year's work party, which
repainted the wall, put new mulch down and
raked the hillside around it to clean it
for the year. Pictured from left are Ron
Talbott, Jim Jenkins, Marlin Talbott, John
McLaughlin, Joey Webb, Jerry Talbott, Zack
Talbott and Craig Talbott. Missing from
the picture are Tom Bennett and Ron
Talbott Jr.

Post 357 presents
Capital, 'vet' flags to Minerva
schools
|
|
Members of Don V. Cross American Legion
Post 357 visited Minerva Elementary to
present two American flags to be displayed
in the school.
Post Commander Mike Lee presented a
five-by-eight foot flag that flew over the
U.S. Capital for Minerva Elementary at the
request of U.S. Congressman John Bocciere
on November 25, 2009.
The flag will be hung in the school's
auditorium.
After presenting the flag to
fifth-grade Student Council
representatives, Lee also demonstrated the
correct way to fold a flag.
Through the American Legion, Carl
Felger, former Post Adjutant, then
presented a three-by-five foot flag that
was flown on August 29, 2008, aboard a
KC-135R/T of the 340th Expeditionary Air
Refueling Squadron during a combat
refueling mission over the free sky of
Afghanistan.
Felger's grandson, Steven Felger, is a
boom operator in the squadron and
dedicated the flag to his grandfather.
The flag will be displayed in the
elementary school's gymnasium.
