the American armed forces
to wear something red on
Fridays.
This movement is
being supported and spread
by organizations such as
Veterans of Foreign Wars
(VFW), Special Operations
Association and Special
Forces Associations, along
with the media and by word
of mouth
Currently, 34 men
and women from the Willow
Creek valley (or with family
in the Willow Creek valley)
are serving in the military
Those servings are: Sgt
Rian Mark Adams, Major

LFF helps Lexington Fire
Department
The Lexington Fire
Fund met with renewed
spirits Officers were elected,
with the follow ing
placements: Jim Nelson,
chairperson; Jean Brazell,
secretary; Gynn Deaton,
treasurer; and Glenn
Anderson, publicity.
The organization
was set up to help fund the
Lexington Volunteer Fire
Department’s needs, as the
small amount generated by
a local tax option does not
always cover the needs.
The Fire Department
is fortunate to have people
skilled at seeking and
securing grants, but most
grants need a match of some
kinds This year, the Fire
Fund was able to help with
