About 30 people gathered at the start of Memorial Day weekend at the 29th Ward Veterans Peace Garden, 5413 W. Madison St., to celebrate the life of Robert Thomas and other veterans.
Veterans were honored Monday at the 29th Ward’s Veterans’ Peace Garden, 5413 W. Madison St. The event – held in the midst of falling snow and bitter winds – was sponsored by the recently formed Austin Veterans Community Organization (AVCO). The group will be meeting the third Wednesday of every month at noon at the 29th Ward Veterans’ Peace Garden when it’s warm enough to meet outside and at MacArthur’s restaurant during the winter.
