Geocache Description:

This NEW Veteran's Memorial Park is located across the street from my house.. So smile as I will be watching you. :-) NOTE: Please DO NOT get INTO the flower beds, or go East across the rock ditch. (It is NOT necessary, in order to find the cache)... NOTE: There was an Official "Opening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony", on Sept. 28, 2008.. (at 1400 hours) (For those that are not familiar with Military time that's 2:00 PM)!!! ;-)

In 1989; I became a Life Member of the Veteran's of Foreign Wars (VFW) Smith-Geater Post 8884 here in Vinton. I am also a Life Member of the Vinton (American Legion Post 57), Benton County (AmVets) Post 218, Vietnam Veterans of America (V V A) , (DAV) Dis-abled American Veterans, and the 40 & 8. Being in the U.S. Air Force for 22 1/2 years. I Spent 2 years in Libya North Africa, two six month tours in Thailand, and a year+ in Vietnam. I've always dreamed of building and putting a Memorial for ALL Veteran's, Past and Present, right here in Vinton.. A great BIG THANKS goes out to the Vinton Parks and Recreation Director; Duane Randall, and the hard work of the AmeriCorps Group that's stationed here in Vinton.. Thanks to numerous other Volunteers and donations, since then, a dream of mine has helped to come true. Permission to place this Cache was granted by Duane Randall, Director of the Vinton Parks and Recreation Dept. My heartfelt THANKS goes out to him and his Dept. for all he did to get this Beautiful Park completed. Come by the Park, have a picnic, look around, see the Flags, Memorials, and flowers. Pray for our Active duty Military and our Veterans, (Men & Women), and thank GOD, and ALL our Veterans for ALL the Freedoms, we as Americans, now have and enjoy every day. Enjoy the Beauty of this wonderful Memorial as it's a GREAT addition to our Town, and to our neighborhood. "Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. The United States' ARMED FORCES don't have that problem." ..... US President, Ronald Reagan ALSO NOTE: IF you can read this, THANK your Teachers.. IF you're reading this IN English, THANK a VETERAN!!
