CADILLAC â Since 2017, Gary Taylor has been searching.
He has been looking at physical records. He has been looking online. He also has looked at pictures. The information he is seeking has to do with the men who served their country during times of conflict.
All these men have two things in common. All are from Wexford County and all never had the chance to come home to embrace their loved ones or be welcomed home in a big parade. Instead, they made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. They all were killed in action defending the United States, its principles and its people.

In March of 1991, a single queen palm tree was planted at 22nd and Guerrero, and a cozy neighborhood bar was given its name: Lone Palm. Thirty years later, the bar s namesake reached the end of its natural life: this weekend, the tree was cut down.
Photos of the chopped down palm began to circulate on Twitter, and Lone Palm fans reacted with shock and horror. But as it turns out, there was a good reason behind the tree s removal.
