Photo of the Now, vol 220: in memory of Lt. Joel Gentz
Two weeks ago, Air Force 1st Lt. Joel Gentz, a graduate of Chelsea High School, was killed in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan. Yesterday, his funeral procession brought Main Street to a halt as grateful Chelsea residents stopped to pay their respects to a man who died in service to his country.
The rock in Pierce Park received an appropriate paint job.
Businesses around town expressed their gratitude, too.
