The company has a tradition of supporting area veterans' organizations with an annual project. This year Ream- McElroy VFW Post 9381 was the recipient and, in turn, the post identified the Liberty Township park as the best location for the memorial benches.

In the wooden desk beside you, a journalist flips through his ink-stained notepad as he writes an article about last weekend's bake sale.
