Edited by Sarah Ford

In honor of Memorial Day, Veteran Steve Siefken, a native of Morrison, IL, will be the speaker at the Windmill Cultural Center on Monday, May 13. He will present on his covert military service.

Siefken was an intercept operator in the Air Force Security Service for the U. S. Air Force, stationed in San Vito, Italy, during the Vietnam War. His job was to spy on the Russians using the latest equipment – headphones and an antenna. Because of his technology skills, he earned top-secret clearance at the age of 19, and spent his time in the military learning and keeping secrets. Siefken earned four commendations during his service time.

This presentation is hosted by the Volunteer Millers and is scheduled for Monday, May 13 at 6:00 p.m. The program takes place at the Windmill Cultural Center, at 111 – 10th Avenue, in downtown Fulton, IL (across the street from the windmill). Monthly programming is available and partially funded by grants from the DS Flikkema Foundation through F.A.C.E.

The program is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served following the presentation. The facility is accessible to persons with disabilities. For more information, call 563-249-6115.
