Rotary Reflections
Could a Rotarian be President?  A few days ago I was reflecting on various presidents of the United States that served during my lifetime.  One of my most vivid memories is President Eisenhower telling us that the United States did not have spy planes flying over Russia, and that Gary Powers and the U-2 plane was an unarmed plane gathering weather research.  That seemed reasonable to me as a young high school student. Then came the surprise of my young life.  The president admitted that indeed the U-2 flight was a spy flight and not a weather research mission.  I could not believe that the President, of all people, would so boldly lie to the American people and to the world.

Restored Sculpture
Repaired Sculpture Back on VA Grounds
 
Admirers of the “Cost of Freedom” sculpture on the Veterans Affairs (VA) campus are once again loving what they see.  They’re breathing a collective sigh of relief after a third absence in the sculpture’s four-year history triggered concerns and led to rumors that it had been stolen. 
 
The sculpture, originally was purchased by Lincoln East Rotary Foundation and representatives and other partners for $16,000.  It has several temporary homes before landing at the new VA building site south of 70th & O Streets.  The sculpture is a tribute to the sacrifice of America’s military veterans.
