The Missouri State Veterans Cemetery at Bloomfield will observe “SPIRIT OF ’45 DAY” on Aug 16, 2015.
The program will begin at 2:00 PM at the Committal Shelter Plaza in the cemetery.
The second Sunday in August has been proposed as “Spirit of ’45 Day” to commemorate the anniversary of the end of World War II on August 14, 1945. With the assistance of the Stoddard County Veterans Honor Guard, the Missouri Veterans Cemetery at Bloomfield will honor WWII veterans by participating in the National Spirit of ’45 Program and placing a wreath at the Cemetery.
Since opening on September 29, 2003 the cemetery has conducted over 2450 interments. The interments have included individuals from WWII, Korea, Vietnam and the Persian Gulf War periods. The cemetery is the final resting place for many veterans, including former Prisoners of War and those Missing in Action or Killed in Action.
Families and friends of those interred as well as the general public are invited to attend.

In September of 2014 Nancy Abernathy was diagnosed with Lelomyosarcoma, a cancer of the smooth muscle connective tissue and is often referred to as LMS. This is a relatively rare form of cancer.
Nancy went in for a routine surgery and by the time she left the hospital her world was turned upside down. The doctor informed her that they had found cancer in her uterus. She was immediately referred to a specialist in St. Louis.
That’s when the dreaded diagnosis was given, Leiomyosarcoma. They had removed the cancer; however she was required to return in three months to run tests.
In March of 2015 things changed. During a scan they found multiple spots on her lungs. Just after the birth of her first grandchild she was headed back to surgery. She didn’t heal quite as fast this time and Nancy had to start chemotherapy.
Since treatment began things have gotten progressively worse for Nancy and her family. She is on unpaid medical leave and now has to pay a very high premium for her health insurance. They have even put her house up for sale to help cover medical costs.
Donations may also be made during the yard sale. Please support First Midwest Bank and help Nancy Abernathy fight her battle!
