Contributions of local
veterans have not gone
unnoticed, and a group of
Grant Union Junior-Senior
High School students rolled
up their sleeves to give back
on Veterans Day.
Samantha
Floyd,
a
senior and Associated Stu-
dent Body treasurer, led
a group of eight students,
plus a couple younger help-
ers, with yard work at the
home of Army veteran Lon
Davis of Mt. Vernon, which
he shares with his son Brian
Davis.
The youths kept busy for
four hours Monday, rak-
ing leaves, scraping paint
and painting parts of his
home. They also painted the
deck railing and trim on the
doors and posts.
A total of 25 bags of
leaves were hauled out.
Floyd said all who par-
ticipated in organizing and
working were “not just will-

“As a leadership class,
we decided to show our
gratitude for those who

she said. “For many of us
students, this was one of the
most meaningful Veterans
Days we’ve ever had.”

Lon said the youths
worked hard and had fun,
and he appreciated Joelene
for bringing them.
“There is just no way
to describe how I appreci-
ate them coming here,” he
said. “They did a wonder-
ful job. A community ser-
vice to help the veterans out
— there are no words — I
just couldn’t thank them
enough.”
