Karli and John A. Logan took the long way to Peoria, having to pick up others joining their journey in Olney and Springfield. When they finally reached Peoria, they had a long, wet and cold journey down to the Riverfront to the Military Services Memorial Plaza. The plaza was built to honor and recognize the veterans who have served in the military. The center plaque on the marker in the picture states "In Honor of the men and women who have served their country in the armed forces of the United States." The surrounding plaques recognize those who helped in the construction of the plaza in 1998. In front of this marker, not shown in the picture, is a flag surrounded by five services markers, one for each branch of the armed forces. After visiting the memorial, Karli and John A. Logan eventually headed home, traveling at total of 695 miles. This brings John A. Logan's total mileage to 2,431.32 miles.
