Work continues on properly recognizing veterans buried at Mercer County area cemeteries with honor markers. Jay Doherty helped spearhead the project a couple of years ago and it’s still going strong.
And Doherty says there has been great financial support from the community, including a recent random $500 donation.
If you’d like to contribute to the Mercer County Honor Marker program, contact Doherty at 737-9199 or the Aledo American Legion at 582-3091. A specific fundraiser will be held July 18 at Aledo Central Park.
