World War I Memorial
John McKean, a former MPML Treasurer and neighbor, had a vision for the World War I memorial. John wanted the flagpole painted, a new flag flying high and proud with appropriate lighting installed. His vision was specific; it had to be done on Flag Day. We talked about it at neighborhood association meetings and then Omaha Mayor, Jim Suttle, was able obtain a brand new flag, courtesy of Woodmen of the World. Neighbors got together on Flag Day to paint the pole, install lighting, and raise the new flag. It all came together beautifully with John McKean heading up the project. Volunteers continue to maintain the monument today. Thank you to everyone who helped John's vision come to fruition.
