There was an article about the new Civil War Memorial to be dedicated April 9, 2015, the 150th anniversary of Appomattox.
It will be joining other memorials along the half mile Lynn Stuart Trail. Two of them honor World War II veterans.
One is the Day of Infamy, dedicated Dec. 7. 2011, the 70th anniversary of Pearl Harbor, and honors those who served and died in the Pacific Theater of World War II. The other is Letters From Home and honors those who served in the European Theater.
Thanks, Veterans. --GreGen
My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
