Stunning surprise

Bad weather Saturday put the damper on the car show planned to support the Veterans Memorial Project at Woodbourne Park in Wantage. A late decision to postpone the event sent Committee Chairman Gregory Williams and a volunteer up to the park at about 7:30 a.m. to post signs letting people know the event would be held the next day, Sunday Oct. 11. When the pair arrived, Williams said, “it was cold, overcast and a light rain. ...(we) went over the memorial site and found that someone had left two military medals, with an infantry sash, collar buttons and an engraved paver order form. It also included a cash donation of $250. There was no name on the form just a small tribute to a homeless veteran...It was very moving to see this on such a dreary day.” The Veterans Memorial Project is selling pavers for the site to raise money that will fund the project.
