Village Honors War Veteran
» Katie Carr - Peotone Vedette - November 27, 2008
Peotone resident James Butler recently got back from serving in Afghanistan, and during the Nov. 24 village board meeting, he presented to the village an American flag that was flown while he was on a mission.
Additionally, he gave the village a handmade rug made by an Afghan as a token of his appreciation for the support that came from the Peotone community.
Butler said he and his group received many care packages from the people of Peotone and that they were very thankful for them.
Mayor Steve Cross also presented Butler with a certificate of appreciation for his service to America and to Peotone, and the entire board thanked Butler for his time serving the country.
Also during the board meeting, the Village of Peotone voted to adopt an ordinance to enter into a pre-annexation agreement with 31831 S. Rathje Road.
Central Towing is moving its business to this location, and it is within Peotone's 1.5-mile planning area. There is also a petition filed with Will County to rezone the area from county zoning I-1 to C-4 so the location can be used as a towing facility.
