Riverbender paper in Alton honors local veterans. It stays online on their website (under NEWS at top menu you can click on VETERANS). We posted this one for our class in 2018. Maybe we should do it again every year.

Alton High School Class of 1965
Message: More than one-third (200+ of our 600+) of our classmates from Alton High School Class of '65 served in the military, many in Vietnam. Seven died in that war, and many have died or suffered from Agent Orange health problems, and PTSD. We honor their sacrifices on our website altonhigh65.com.
Check it out and think about honoring a vet. Click on SEND A SALUTE box at top right of their veterans page. https://www.riverbender.com/veterans/
So why bother to do this? Because when your grandkids or their kids google your name, this will come up. On our website altonhigh65.com, we get thank-you notes from kids and grandkids who find a family member's name on the website. Vets, tell your kid(s) honoring you is a meaningful tribute--and it's free. Or honor your greatest generation parent who served in WWII.
