Today our walk was dedicated in honor of:

Army National Guard Veteran Michael A. Nuding, Age 70 of Oakley, IL.
Died Oct. 17, 2022

Mike proudly served in the Army National Guard for 40 years and achieved the rank of CSM. He worked as a police officer for the Shelbyville and Cerro Gordo departments. Mike enjoyed playing golf, shooting sports, but most treasured time spent with family. He was a member of Cerro Gordo American Legion Post 117, VFW Post 99 of Decatur, NRA, Illinois FOP, and the Enlisted Association of the National Guard. Mike was a member of Oakley Brick Church of the Brethren.

We had a great 6.04 Mile walk this morning. We walked up town to the War Memorial Park and back. It was a little cold but great for walking. I want to thank my friend Robert for walking with us today. I want to thank everyone who honked, waved, and saluted in helping us honor this Fallen Hero today. We had 95 honks today. It was amazing. Thank you.

Army National Guard Veteran Michael A. Nuding will not be forgotten !
