GilfordGrok: Gilford Supports Troops

Thanks to the efforts of Gilford Blue Star Mother Karen Thurston, yellow ribbons have been placed at the entrances to the Town Hall in support of those troops serving in Afghanistan and Iraq. For quite some time, Karen has been bothered by a lack of any public display for the troops on behalf of the town. Apparently, all she had to do was ask. She tells me the idea of the ribbons was enthusiastically endorsed by the Selectmen.

The Citizen reports that

There are a total of six ribbons, placed throughout the various entrances to the Town Hall. Thurston added that the ribbons will keep the community aware of the sacrifices that are being made everyday overseas.

Karen and the Blue Stars remind everyone that on Saturday, September 16, 2006 at 1:00 pm, many individuals from surrounding communities will be hosting the "All Gave Some - Some Gave All" Troop Rally to be held at the American Legion on North Main Street, Laconia, NH.

Blue Star Mother Karen Thurston and Town Administrator Evans Juris affix yellow ribbons honoring the troops to the Gilford Town Hall.
