Odds & Ends
by Myrtle Heideman
Veterans Day was observed in the Uhland community by flying the United States flag at many homes and businesses. Mayor Daniel Heideman placed flags on the graves of the many military personal in the Uhland Live Oak Cemetery. Several flags representing branches of the military were received and will be placed on the memory wall in the Uhland Community Center. Several more pictures and information about former residents of the community and Armed Forces were received and will be added to the wall. It is hoped there will be more coming. If you have no picture of your loved one in uniform, please send any picture you may have; even a group picture will be used to make a picture of the individual. There are no words adequate to express our thanks to all our military personnel for what they have done and are doing. Thanks.
