If you haven’t visited Veterans Park in Lynnwood, you should. Post 1040 has done a great job in having a nice little park that recognizes veterans. It’s on 44th a block north of 196th. To assist in paying for it, they have memorial bricks that cost $30, a real steal. I have purchased four bricks, one each for my parents, both WWII veterans and my bother and me, Vietnam veterans. I know a number of our other members have done so as well. If you are interested in purchasing one for yourself or a family member, contact Frank Martinez at [email protected] and he will get you a form. Hopefully, someday, Edmonds will recognize its veterans as graciously as Lynnwood does. Until then, help 1040 maintain their park.
