    Two honorary life memberships were bestowed on Greg Riechman and Kathy (Rakers) Kamp-werth for their dedication and commitment to the veterans of Clinton County. They have been instrumental in the coordination of the “Honor Flights” taking veterans to visit Washington, D.C., along with other veteran benefits and services such as “Whispering Pines of Clinton County” and the Jim Beasley Veterans Tribute Wall at Kaskaskia College. Riechman and Kampwerth were honored at the Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) Chapter 269 Christmas meeting and dinner. They join seven other members as Honorary Life Members.
