Yeah I should have mentioned this last time but when all of them 97 00:08:35,780 --> 00:08:39,400 right might have been talking about the all the stuff going on with the mortal day. If you 98 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:44,140 might remember that at the beginning of the year I had talked at the Veterans Commission 99 00:08:44,140 --> 00:08:48,760 meeting and I brought up here too about the fact that we have the headstones of former members 100 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:54,820 of the commission and then we talked appear and all of them right in the mayor gave who they thought 101 00:08:54,820 --> 00:09:00,500 made those headstones. Cody Walker, the staff liaison, looked into it. There's no record that 102 00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:05,800 they ever did do that. Somebody must have given that as a gift of some type as a generous 103 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:11,120 recognition for our veterans. So they're trying to go ahead and figure something out going forward 104 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:16,180 in the future. Rocky, you've probably talked to Cody in the future about that. And then also, 105 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:22,300 we're going to look slow in as well.
