out during Memorial Day weekend to
commemorate the men and women buried in that
cemetery who have served in our armed
forces.

last fall for the Mount Pulaski American
Legion Post 447 by designing and installing
a handrail for the east side of the Legion
building.
Jordan is a 2010 graduate of Mount
Pulaski High School. He is a member of the
FFA. He has earned his State FFA Degree and
competed in many FFA judging competitions.
Jordan is a member of Zion Lutheran Church
in Mount Pulaski.
Jordan started his Scouting career in
1998 and became a Boy Scout in March 2003.
He was elected into the Order of the Arrow
by his peers. He has traveled twice to Cache
Lake, Canada, and has completed two treks to
Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimarron, N.M.
Jordan served as trek leader on his last
trek to Philmont.
