Accolades to Mike Doak, Kevin Sinnett, and Tiffany Sinnett for work to improve the War Memorial in Clearview. A few weekends ago, the trio trimmed trees, planted Redbud trees, and dug out a flower bed. They are rebuilding one flower bed, adding topsoil, fertilizer and plants. Kevin and Tiffany recently moved Clearview and have volunteered their services for other projects in Clearview. Mike is a Vietnam era war veteran and helps with the maintenance of this memorial in Clearview and the memorial in Henryetta. The flags on the poles were removed due to wear and tear and there were no replacements. An announce was put on Facebook for donations and as of today, Jesse Horn of California, Diane Flanders of Okemah, and Carl Ballard of Virginia have donated flags.

Thanks again to our friends and neighbors for their hard work. Everything should be completed by July 7.
