Albion native Charles Nesbitt spoke eloquently at Sunday's closing ceremonies for the Cost of Freedom Memorial Wall at Pembroke Town Park. Nesbitt was a UH1H (Huey) helicopter pilot flying with the 57th Assault Helicopter Company in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. He served in the Armed Forces for 10 years. In addition to earning the Air Medal with 26 oak leaf clusters, he recently received the distinguished Flying Cross award for heroism.
“When I first went to the Vietnam Wall in Washington (D.C.) and walked down the ramp it felt like the wall was engulfing me,” Nesbitt said. “It felt as though it was going to crush me.”
The names on the Cost of Freedom Wall aren’t just names. They are fathers and brothers, mothers and sisters. Every single one of them laid down their life, giving the ultimate sacrifice for their fellow man. Every one of those names, forever etched in stone, belonged to a person, a comrade, a friend.
Regardless of party affiliation or beliefs, these men and women are recognized and honored as heroes for these United States of America.
The Oakfield Betterment Committee will show "ET The Extraterrestrial" on Saturday July 21, 2012 in the Elroy D. Parkins Park, Drake Street in Oakfield. The evening begins at 8:00 pm with the movie starting at dusk.
The movie is FREE for all ages. We will sell hot dogs, drinks, candy and popcorn. The Oakfield Girl Scouts will be selling "Glow in Dark Necklaces".
The Betterment Committee will also be drawing the EARLY BIRD winner for presale tickets for Labor Day Weekend.
I am just wondering if anyone else here on The Batavian would be interested in being part of a Doggie Play Date group. I have a new 5 month old puppy that needs some socialization both with other dogs and people. Dogs of any ages would be welcome provided they are not physically dog aggressive. If you are interested or know someone who might be, please reply to this post. I will also be printing up a flyer for my vet and groomer's offices, and the shelter if they'll post it. If you'd like one let me know.
