Al Boon, spoke at a NARFE luncheon about the Ennis Veteran Memorial Monument
Al Boon, Speaker, Joan Fraticelli, Doyle Marchbanks, Bobby Montgomery, Ennis residents and NARFE members.
Al Boon, a long-time resident of Ennis, was proud to speak about the local veterans and the success in the establishment of the Ennis Veteran’s Memorial Monument. The City of Ennis, local civic organizations, and its residents should be commended for supporting the Ennis Veteran’s Memorial. Al Boon encouraged NARFE members to visit the memorial and invited us to submit names of veterans so they can be recognized at the memorial. A “paver” may be purchased for a nominal fee. The veteran does not have to be from the local area.
As an Ennis visitor, I personally visited the memorial on my way home. The memorial is impressive and is one of the best I have visited. During my visit, I observed a young man in his late twenties sitting in silence, perhaps a veteran, who was visiting the memorial. I was so taken by his reverence that I can only conclude that this individual truly appreciated the meaning of the memorial. I am convinced this is the same sentiment that community leaders had, and all those who worked behind the scenes, to build this exceptional Veteran Memorial Monument. Thank you, Al Boon and Bobby Montgomery, NARFE member, for highlighting this well plan community project.
