Remembering our heroes
Thumbs up to the veterans, veteran organizations, local schools and others for organizing Veterans Day events throughout the county. Veterans Day, which is Nov. 11 each year, is a good time to thank a veteran for their service and sacrifice. That’s something that could be done any day of the year, in fact, and even taken a step further by asking a veteran about their service.
Inspirational
Thumbs up to Crothersville seventh-grader Zoey Prince, who received a grant to open The Happy Tree Art Studio in Crothersville to provide people with an opportunity to express themselves artistically. Prince hopes to inspire others, no matter their age, to go for their dreams.
