I need your help! Working on our veteran movie for this year at home today and didn't bring the paper file with me to tell me who this is. I only have the digital file copy here. Can you save me a trip to the museum and identify this soldier?

This year's movie will have over 700 local veteran's pictures!

Thank you!

We are spending hours getting photographs ready for Veterans Day.

We use pictures that were donated , pictures from yearbooks, and pictures from newspapers and scrapbooks, to create the video that we will play on November 11th.

Thanks to improved picture editing programs, many of the newspaper clippings that were badly worn and yellowed, are coming to life. (There are a few I couldn't use, however, because they will not edit or distort the subject)

This year there are over 700 pictures of local veterans. We often hear "Can we get a copy of our relative's picture?" Absolutely! We can email them easily.

We are working in conjunction with the Watsontown American Legion to create a database for local veterans of any era. So if you are a veteran or are related to a veteran, we would love to add any pictures or info to our files.

We do it to honor our veterans and for their families.

Wow! Thank you everyone who came out for the tag sale today! The money collected will help pay utility bills and other operating expenses.

We were so busy we could not check messages on FB, and we believe tomorrow will be the same way. So please forgive us if we do not answer the phone or FB messages.

Shake Your Buns food truck was absolutely delicious! If you missed them they will be at Winter Wonderland.

Saturday we will have Bar-B-Q in the Community Room available for purchase.

We were in the attic this afternoon and brought down a few more things for Saturday, so check out the pictures! We put out postcards, but they are not local.

Saturday will be "Or Best Offer" day-we really don't want to pack it back up!

Thanks again!
