Members of Menard's Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) Camp 2326 cleaned the veteran monuments at American Legion Park earlier this year. Pictured left to right: Barry Kniffen, Eddie Bostwick, Gary Bates and grandson Seth Bates, and Terry Kelley. The local SCV is one of several organizations who readily take part in preserving the history of Menard County veterans by maintaining memorials and cemeteries, holding ceremonies, and marching in the annual PTO Veterans Day Parade each November.
