Blue Star Banner Presented

A Blue Star Service Banner was presented to the parents of PVT Alan Plantikow, USMC, on April 15th at the Veterans Memorial Hall in New Glarus. Green County American Legion Commander Allen Fjelstad made the presentation.
Blue Star Service Banners are displayed by families who have a loved one serving in the armed forces, including activated members of the National Guard and Reserves, whether the family member is a son, daughter, brother, sister, wife, husband, cousin, grandchild, etc. The banner displayed in the front window of a home shows a family's pride in their loved one serving in the military, and reminds others that preserving America's freedom demands much.
PVT Plantikow, a 2016 graduate of New Glarus High School, recently completed Marine Corp Boot Camp at the Recruit Depot, San Diego. After 10 days leave, he will report for Marine Corp Combat Training at Camp Pendleton, CA. PVT Plantikow will train for the Military Occupation Specialty as CBR (Chemical, Biological, Radiological) Defense Specialist.
