4th of July Veterans Bows
|
|
A message from Julian Black
We had another purchase of two Navy Bows. This was to honor a very important person to the Village Mill Neighborhood.
Lynn Simonson: One Navy Bow for her mailbox to honor her longtime friend and companion Captain John Steffes and one Navy Bow for Captain John Steffes' mail box. John lived in Village Mill for a number of years and passed away in April. He spent a number of years in the Navy and retired as a Captain. He was a Navy jet pilot, a Navy ship Navigator and held many Navy command positions before retirement. We all miss John and all that he did for Village Mill.
I would like to thank the Village Mill Neighborhood Association for its strong support for the "Military Bow" program.
