Last Wednesday Bob and I visited the Nebraska Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Sarpy County. (Turn on the road that takes you to the National Cemetery and go east about 3 miles.)
Thanks for sharing John Stilwell!
The County Fair is coming right up. Are you entering anything? Love looking at all the exhibits. They sure do bring back memories of 4-H and riding the ferris wheel. Remember the church stands and the awesome food they served?
The interior of the Duncan Building has received a new coat of paint and a new floor! Such a pleasant place and so many memories there. If it could only talk!
Many of you will remember Paul Watts. He was just the nicest man. Thanks to the Lucas family for sharing this article.
