I echo Linh Song’s comments. From the preparation to the final clean-up of the park, the neighborhood volunteers were outstanding. It was a beautiful Memorial Day celebration!

Regarding ALS and the death of Sgt. Davis:

There is a very high statistical correlation between the incidence of ALS (or Lou Gehrig’s disease) and service of U.S. military personnel during the Iraq War. The same phenomenon has been noted in published neurological studies among veterans of the Vietnam War.

One theory is that these soldiers had exposure to certain types of chemical agents which led to progressive motor neuron cell death.

Kevin Bohnsack was the lead organizer behind this year’s efforts and did an incredible job honoring our veterans as well as Steve’s memory. We are lucky to be in a neighborhood with volunteers who are commited to community and country like this. Thank you, Kevin for your service and ongoing work!
