Area veterans asked to pay respects to soldier

October 9, 2012
The OBSERVER

Area veterans are being urged to attend a walk through for U.S. Army Sgt Jonathan "Nathan" Gollnitz at 1:45 p.m. Saturday at the First Baptist Church, 876 Central Ave., Dunkirk.

According to Henry Link, Chautauqua County vice commander of the American Legion, this organized walk through will allow all veterans to show their respect for a fellow comrade in arms who has paid the ultimate price for our freedom.

"Please arrive at the Big Dipper Ice Cream Parlor parking lot, 950 Central Ave, Dunkirk, by 1:30 p.m.," Link said. "We will form at the entrance of the Willow Brook Cemetery and proceed to the Church at 1:45 p.m. We will enter the church single file, salute our comrade, and file out. All members of veterans organizations are urged to wear their covers (hats).

If veterans have any questions, they are asked to contact Link at 269-4217 or Dave Thompson at 785-0220
