John A. Logan and Jamie made an adventurous trip to the war memorial site in New Athens, IL. They traveled 137.56 miles round-trip. At this memorial site, there is a monument that was originally honoring the those who served for our country during the Mexican American War, the Civil War, the Spanish American War, and World War I. Eventually, an addition to the monument was included to honor those who served in World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. This memorial was established by the citizens of New Athens as a way to commemorate those involved in the wars. Another interesting feature at this site is time capsule. The capsule includes items from the mid 1900's and will be opened at the 100 year mark. The total miles that John A. Logan has traveled so far is 373.72 miles.
