Happy be-lated 4th of July

Comment #3 (by Eric and Retta) on the previous posting reminded me of all the July 4th and Memorial Day postings -- thanking our veterans. It would be nice if we knew of all the immediate Klopfenstein clan who served. Please add or comment on the following....I'm wondering about Dave Allenson, Joe Scroggins, Uncle Keith, Jeremy Embry, etc. etc. How about any of the others from the "original 14 kids"? Uncle Elmer? Harry? Lee? Bill? etc. etc.?

Grandpa Elmer Jay -- US Army
Uncle Jay -- Navy, overseas
Uncle Perry -- US Army
Cleve -- US Army Vietnam
Dave Knobloch -- US Army Vietnam

Cleve

OK, now does either Jason or Drake remember the Oak Ridge Boys in Minonk? Shelley is doing some pretty intense research to see if she can find out.
