When they dedicated the Valley Mountain monument someone said it had to be the most remote and isolated memorial of its kind. When I go to Huntington in August I spend time at the Cabell Co. Library, and I found that there was one in my hometown, at the cemetery where a lot of my family is, Spring Hill. Next year I will go and get some pictures of it. I'll be adding a lot of photos to the website over the next few weeks.
