The Okawville Lions Club and OFD displayed Flags yesterday morning over the EB lanes of I-64 for the 100’s of motorcycles participating in the Run For The Wall. Run For The Wall is an organized cross-country motorcycle ride to honor veterans, their families and friends and to raise awareness of those still missing – Prisoners of War (POW) and Missing in Action (MIA). The ride, or “run” as many motorcyclists call it, starts in Ontario, California and ten days later ends at the Vietnam Memorial Wall in our nation’s capital, Washington, D.C.

Thank you to the Okawville Lions Club for inviting us to partake in this event.

A big thank you goes out to the Seniors at OHS. They stopped by the Fire Station today during their Senior Class Give Back Day, and cleaned up the meeting room, vacuumed and cleaned the windows on the trucks, and finished the day with a ride around town in the fire truck!
