Balloons purchased in memory of a fallen soldier, friend or family, were launched from the Ligonier VFW Post 734 as part of their 2010 Memorial Day celebration. The card attached to each balloon requested that the finders of the balloon report back to the Post, enabling the sponsor of the balloon to know how far the balloon traveled.
