Vietnam Vets celebrated
Friday was a great day for our officers to join our Veterans at Loves Park City Hall for a National Vietnam Veterans Day Welcome Home celebration, organized by Heartland Hospice Care. Retired Police Chief and current Loves Park Alderman Jim Puckett, a Marine Vietnam Veteran himself, was the keynote speaker. After a heart-touching address to the Veterans and guests, he also participated in pinning other Vietnam Veterans with a Vietnam War Commemoration Pin. Alderman Puckett was joined by Mayor Greg Jury, Alderwoman Nancy Warden, Treasurer John Danielson, City Clerk Bob Burden and Machesney Park Mayor Steve Johnson, as well as Loves Park Patrol Officers, Detectives and Chiefs. Thanks to Heartland for inviting us and God Bless our Veterans.
