Windham Veterans Association members John Cooper, left, and Don Swander attend to granite bench tops that recently arrived at the Windham Veterans Center. The benches were bought by families of local veterans and will be displayed prominently in Veterans Memorial Park, which is under development beside the Windham Veterans Center behind the Windham Mall. Along with the help of local landscapers and builders, Windham VFW Commander Swander has been working hard in recent weeks to improve the grounds of the center for the upcoming Veterans Day ceremony Saturday, Nov. 11.
