Canceled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, event organizers want people to know the Loyalty Day Parade is back this year.
Loyalty Day is going to happen this year. The V.F.W. is organizing the parade, which starts at 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 8th, said Veterans Service Officer Randy Kaelber. I think this is a good way to honor our veterans, and get out of the house for a little, especially during all this COVID-19 stuff going on.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recently selected the Devola sewer project for federal funding in the amount of $1.075 million.
Washington County Commissioner Charlie Schilling announced the funding at Thursday morning’s commission meeting.
“This is a really big deal and it just goes to show the work that we have been putting in … in order to help the residents of Devola,” he said. “Not only the residents of Devola, but the residents of Washington County when it comes to the sewer system.”
A letter from the Corps’ planning, programs and project management division said the sewer project was deemed eligible for the Section 594 Program. The funding is applicable toward project design and construction costs.

Robert Brunner served his country from 1976-78 as a security specialist. “I walked the flight line at Dover [Air Force Base, Del.] for two years,” he said.
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit the U.S. last year, Brunner was receiving Social Security Disability Insurance benefits. But then all of his side worked stopped, and he lost income.
Like Brunner, veteran Gregory Osborn struggled to secure employment because of the pandemic. To make matters worse, his vehicle was in need of repairs, and he didn’t have the money to have the work done.
