John Owen American Legion Post 287th will have its float displayed in the Antigo Daily Journal on Wednesday. This will be the last float for the Memorial Day Parade, plus myself marching with the Mattoon Veterans Kids. I wish to thank the kids who marched for the Post from other towns. I'm proud of each one of them. Hope people get out to see the kids for the last time.

Waas watching old Mattoon Veteran Videos and found this one of the pictures taken by John Owen during the Pancho Villa case in Mexico and 1st World War that Mattoon Veterans were involved in at the time. Worth a second watch. Recognize anyone in your family tree?

I now finished all eleven items for the outside of the Memorial Day Float. On the sunporch stands the Flag of Iwo Jim, Sailor with Nurse World War II, Vietnam Memorial three soldiers, Tuskegee Air Force Pilot and Native American Vietnam War Warrior. When it warms up, I will take them out and figure how they will be displayed on the float. So far I am proud how they turned out and hope everyone enjoys the display.
