GENOA, Ill. — A donated U.S. Army uniform has led to an exhibit of a Vietnam War soldier’s life at the Kishwaukee Valley Heritage Society and Museum. It’s a tribute Genoa (jih-NOH’-uh) native Jessie Gerald Poe. The (DeKalb) Daily Chronicle reports that Genoa native Lonnie Stojan, who now lives in Sycamore, donated Poe’s uniform and others pitched in to help. Christi Slavena is a member of the Kishwaukee Valley Heritage Society board. She says Poe’s articles are the museum’s first from the Vietnam Era.
