That is outstanding. Memorials and ceremonies are without fail emotional. But healthy for telling the story and remembering.

Debey - any chance they will bring these to Mt Rushmore?

Cool, when they come to Ft. Meade, I will be able to check them out, if I haven't made a trip to Pierre by then!

I am so very sorry that I haven't kept up with these. It's my bad. I've been overwhelmed with everything else. Again, sorry. When I started it two years ago, I thought I would be on hand. I haven't. Please give me a few to get it going again. My flag waves every day. Rain or shine. But I have been lax in this.

EH....
I think this is the only "edit" for the Original Post.
Thank you, again, for starting this thread. It is how I found City Data.
