Accepting Check
Mayor Richard Glazebrook accepts a $100 check from Moultrie County VFW Finance Officer Harry Woolen. These checks were issued by each of the veterans organizations to purchase the two additional POW-MIA signs that were presented to the City of Sullivan by Patrick Freesh of the Jefferson Barracks POW-MIA Museum. These two signs along with the original sign that was awarded to the City will eventually be displayed near the Welcome to Sullivan signs on the three highway approaches into Sullivan, but for the time being, Mayor Glazebrook asked each of the two veteran groups to display them at their facilities.
