Bay County Vietnam Veterans Memorial and Project Freedom Walk cleanup planned for Saturday

A spring cleanup of the Bay County Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the neighboring Project Freedom Walk takes place Saturday and the event is looking for volunteers. The project is headed up by Judy Brunner, the wife of state Rep. Charles Brunner, D-Bay City. Judy Brunner said she has organized the annual cleanup for the last six years. “It’s quite a big job,” Brunner said. According to Brunner, the cleanup starts at 8 a.m. Saturday. She expects it is going to last four to five hours depending on how many volunteers they have. “The main reason we do it is because of what it represents: our veterans,” Brunner said. “It’s important we keep it looking the best it can possibly look. It’s a place people go to remember the conflicts our country has faced and those who have served and fallen.”
