Regarding the article, "Salute to Military forges ahead", June 19, 2008.

The real credit for the decorations at the Top of the Hill Shopping Plaza goes to Janet Gruber at Brown Floral & Creations and Brad Ksiazek at Edward Jones. They planned it and did all the decorating. Donations from the Mall businesses purchased the decorations.
