Lansing State Journal December 14, 1967
Portland water tower will salute local servicemen under an unusual plan 
conceived by Village Manager Thomas Adair. 
The plan has been approved which set up a $100 painting fund to get the project 
rolling. 
Adair has contracted all branches of the armed services, asking each to 
contribute to the fund and post a greeting on the tower to all local 
servicemen. 
At last count there were at least 35 Portland men in Vietnam and hundreds more 
stationed around the world. 
Local representative of the armed services are in the process of having the 
project approved by their superiors. 
Adair said the village expects to send a colored photograph of the finished 
project to each man in the service. The idea is to let them know they are not 
forgotten by the home folks.
