The next time you see an Ameren lineman in southern Illinois, check out what they're wearing.

This month Ameren Illinois employees are wearing pink hard hats to raise awareness about Breast Cancer. One division manager says more than 50 percent of his employees took part and raised about $2,500 for the Susan G Komen Foundation.

"Once you start getting involved with it, then you find out even in my division, that either have somebody in their family or somebody they know and it really does touch a lot of people," John Barnud, Ameren Illinois Division Manager said.

Ameren Illinois Real Utility Men and Women Wear Pink got inspiration from the wife of a lineman, a Breast Cancer survivor.

Many came out on Saturday to honor a Vietnam veteran killed while riding his motorcycle on route 127 September 23rd.

Friends, family, and fellow soldiers honored the life of 75-year-old Jerald Zallen of Herrin.

Zallen served in the US Army's Cavalry during the Vietnam War and survived the "Valley of the Death."

Later on in his life Zallen wrote a book about the battle featuring the members of the unit he served with in the army.

We're told Zallen loved to ride his motorcycle and visit with his neighbors.

"When he first moved into the neighborhood he was quiet," said Debbie Johnson a friend of Zallen.  "He actually came to our door and asked us if we could all come over and meet him."

Johnson recalls that visit saying, "He sat us down with cake and tea and told us about the book We Are Soldiers."
