Honor The Vets

Ellen Sullivan Bryan's grave marker would also have been appropriate to post on the last Sunday in September or "Gold Star Mothers Day."   She was Quincy's first Gold Star Mother whose son, George, was killed in action in the First World War.  VFW Post 613 in Quincy is named for Ellen Bryan's son.  Today is the day set aside to honor all our veterans and the mothers who made the supreme sacrifice.
