​Hello.  My name is Nate Smeltzer. I am 17 and am in Scouts.  I’m working on my Eagle Scout rank, the highest rank you can get in Scouts. One of the requirements for this rank is a service project.  My project is to make memorial banners of all those in the armed forces from our community who gave their lives for their country.  These banners will be hung up on main street, Loyalton.  I have collected the names of 16 people from Sierra County so far.  They are:
1.James Alexander  WWI
2.Edmond Bony WWII (need picture)
3.George Chaffee WWII (need picture)
4.Ward Church WWI (need picture)
5.Hugh Frye Jr. WWII
6.William Lavery WWII
7.Norman Lund WWII
8.Normand Mancock WWII (need picture)
9.Myron McClelland Vietnam
10.Robert McCune WWII
11.Kenneth Mcpheeters WWII
12.William Prunty WWII (need picture)
13.Eldred Schroeder WWII (need picture)
14.Arthur Shelton Vietnam
15.Harry Thomas  WWI (need picture)
16.Lucius Turner WWII (need picture)
 
Here’s where I need your help:
  • Of these 16 veterans I only have pictures for 8 of them.  I would like to find pictures of the rest.
  • If there are others you know who lost their lives in one of our nation’s wars, please let me know so they, too, will have their memorial banner.
  • Each banner costs $115 to make. I have made 2 so far.  To make the remaining 14 I need help with $1610.  If you would like to contribute to this effort you can reach me at (407)946-0169, by email at biglittynate@gmail.com or by mail, PO Box 551, Loyalton, CA 96118.  Any size contribution will be greatly appreciated. 
 
Let’s honor those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom.
