This letter is addressed to the residences of the Santa Clara River Valley and especially those from the City of Fillmore and the Bardsdale area. We, who attended Monday’s 2011 Memorial Day Service at Bardsdale Cemetery were privileged to witnessed a wonderful event. In addition to the usual grand programmed items that took place such as the fly-over, color guard, singing of our national anthem, speech and prayers a formal dedication took place. That dedication of the WALK OF HONOR is what has prompted me to write. Soon to be made, Eagle Scout, Sean Chandler conceived, planned, and constructed this magnificent 3' X 200' (est)red brick walkway. Many of the “bricks” are inscribed with the names of military members, both past and present, who have served in America’s armed forces. Quite a few are waiting inscription. One could be yours! Over the course of 7 months this fine young man has brought to fruition this honorable tribute, with it’s granite monument and in the center a new flag pole which will stand FOREVER. It will be a LASTING memorial to anyone who wants a military person recognized for the service they have given to America. It really is wonderful! I know Mr. and Mrs. Chandler are very proud of their son. And we who got to meet Sean are as well. The parent’s know that they have raised a leader and a man who will be a success at whatever he puts his mind to accomplishing. As a footnote, anyone who wants to recognize a member (past or present) of America’s armed forces and wants to have a “brick” inscribed can do so by contacting the Manager of the Bardsdale Cemetery. The only cost is $50.00 and the Cemetery will handle all the arrangements. Do it, you’ll be pleased you did. Thanks again Sean Chandler. You live up to the very best of the ideals of the Boy Scouts of America. Charles & Alyce Richardson, Fillmore.
