Help Wanted: Improve The Elmhurst Vietnam Memorial At Wilder Park
Looks like the community in Elmhurst needs to step up and lend a hand to the American Legion Post #187 who wants to improve the Vietnam Memorial that currently sits in Wilder Park. I spotted this flyer on a local business in the Elmhurst City Centre on my walk to the train. Here's (below) a closer look at details located at the bottom of the flyer: After 27 years of being weathered and worn, scratched and nicked, it's time for a granite base that would raise the memorial 30" above ground. 2015 marks the 50th Anniversary of ground forces arrival in Vietnam. Funds are needed to preserve the memory of the 14 sons of Elmhurst who gave their lives for America in the Vietnam War. Please send a contribution to: The American Legion Post #187 Vietnam Memorial 310 W. Butterfield Rd Elmhurst, IL 60126-5017 I tell you what...this just seems like something we here in Elmhurst *have* to do, right? I mean...how can we NOT do this as a community. ...
Elmhurst Touch-A-Truck 2015
Did the Bird ever have fun. She was all over all the trucks, but mostly LOOOOVED the 'digger trucks' that the fine folks from the Elmhurst Park District put out at their annual "Touch-A-Truck" event at Berens Park in Elmhurst last weekend. Here's my post from 2013 showing how the Babe - at that time - was all over the trucks . This year? Her younger sister was doing the leading. In 2013, we were able to get in a helicopter. This year, we arrived about halfway through the event, so I'm not sure if there helicopter left before we got there or if they couldn't book it this year? This is a really great event and the kids all seem to love it. So much in fact, that the Bird asked if her birthday party (#4 this year!) can be a "Touch-A-Truck Birthday"?!? Hmmm...that might be hard to pull off, no?
