Johnson<br /> This article by Mathias Baden clearly demonstrates how and why a 'small town' (forgive me)newspaper out shines the 'big city' rags and the vital role played in our community. What a wonderful history our forefathers have left behind and what strong roots they have planted. It is Mathias' writings such as these, that dig out our great traditions. As one of the highlights of my year (and for the last 75), I have looked forward to the Memeorial Day Services at Spirit Hill. With the Iraqi War churning on, it has suddenly become fashionable for communities to pay homage to to those who serve and have served in the Military. 'It is altogether fitting and proper that we do this'. Jordan has been doing this for, I would guess, almost 100 years. No new discovery here. And, if I can continue to borrow some one else's words, Jordan clearly demonstrates that our Military has 'not served or died in vain'.</p> <br class="clear" /> Sun, 21 Jan 2007 13:36:25 -0600 bigbobbob comment 543 at http://www.jordannews.com
