Veterans in Monrovia have something to smile about thanks to a local 7th grader. The young Boy Scout decided to clean up a memorial for veterans that was in total disrepair due to the Bobcat Fire.
He is a determined 7th grader whose mission was to clean up a memorial for veterans in Monrovia.The memorial is within Monrovia Canyon Park and was installed decades ago, but the site had been long forgotten.
"The Bobcat fires kind of uncovered it, and it was completely an utter mess," said James Vierra, a Boy Scout with Troop 66.The first task was to restore a bench and add a picnic table. Then, they needed to add ADA-compliant handrails and improve the memorial's landscaping and flagpole so the American flag can fly high.
James hopes the site will once again become a place for everyone to enjoy - especially local veterans. "I really appreciate everything they have done for us and it means very much to me for everything that we're able to do and help serve our communities as well," he said.
