The Veterans Memorial Wall at Lake Taylorville was officially dedicated during a ceremony on the 4th of July at 1:30 PM. Steve Craggs hosted the event which saw a good crowd on hand to recognize and welcome home the Vietnam Vets.  Many of them were honored during the dedication ceremony. Taylorville Mayor Bruce Barry thanked them for their service.

Mayor Barry also recognized David “Termite” Durbin with a key to the city for his dedication to the community along with his service with the Salvage Dawgs. 

The dedication concluded with the 21 gun salute and the playing of taps by Leroy Kleimola.
