6/13/13 - A Howell dentist and his staff will host a unique Flag Day event designed to help raise funds for renovations to a veteransâ monument. A project is underway to raise funds and renovate the Livingston County Veterans Monument in downtown Howell. Community members are encouraged to support the project and pay tribute to those who served by making a donation on Flag Day, which is this Friday. Dr. Thomas Kellogg recently announced that he will match all donations made that day, up to $10,000, while hosting a free event including food at his office. The match is made possible through the June & Edward Kellogg Foundation. Bricks are also available for purchase to pay lasting tribute to particular veterans in someoneâs life. The engraved paving stones will be installed in the "Ring of Honor" portion of the memorial. Any bricks purchased at the Flag Day event will also be matched. Kellogg tells WHMI his office will also provide professional skills to serve veterans on Friday by offering free cleanings and exams to all vets who visit his office during the event. Kellogg says he hopes the event will provide the last of the funds needed for the renovation. His office is located on Byron Road between Grand River and M-59 in Howell, and the event will take place on Friday, June 14th from noon to 5pm. (TD)
