Brutus Salutes Our Veterans

Brutus is preparing to salute our veterans, especially those who fought in World War II, next week (May 17th at 6:30 p.m. in Owosso).  He is anxious to hear Larry Martin's presentation in the veteran's own words.  He has also been doing some reading about Pearl Harbor and D-Day.  He heard that there will be a nurse here talking about her experiences, too. 

He has lots of questions about the role of dogs in the war, and Margaret showed him a website about the Marine Corps dogs; he was surprised (and sad) to learn that some of his cousins were killed in battle.

For more information on Martin's program, visit his website, http://www.lmww2.com/ 

Also, staff  have informed Brutus that there were only 48 stars in the U.S. flag during the war.  He's never seen a flag without 50 stars.  If anyone has a small 48 star flag, he'd love to have you bring it so that he could have his picture taken with it!
