MARYVILLE – To show his appreciation and ensure local veterans have access to their owed benefits, State Senator Kris Tharp is hosting two events to connect the brave men and women who have served our country with free assistance and services. “Veterans have exemplified courage having served our country and safeguarded our freedoms, and unfortunately they may not have access to their owed benefits for their sacrifices,” said Tharp (D-Bethalto). “Assistance is available, and I’m looking forward to bringing free services to Wood River and Edwardsville.” Starting promptly at 11 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 17 at the Wood River Police Department, located at 550 E.

BUZZ MAGAZINE - This Veterans Day marks the 40th anniversary of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial dedication. Polished black granite was selected for the 70 inscribed panels so visitors can see their reflection in the names, connecting the living to the lost. The names of lost service members are listed in chronological order by the date of their casualty, and they begin and end at the center where the walls meet. Having the names begin at the center is meant to form a circle symbolizing the completion of the war. Unfortunately, too many lives were “unofficially” lost after the war due to exposure-related illnesses, agent orange, and the psychological trauma from war. Since many cannot make the trek to Washington DC to view the memorial, Truck Centers, Inc. in Troy will be hosting the American Veterans Traveling Tribute’s (AVTT ) Traveling Vietnam Wall this month at their training center, 2376 Formosa Road, Troy. The AVTT Vietnam Wall was created to honor the great sacrifice
