A Moose no longer alone in the Wolverine State.
Over 300 veterans! Wow, what a great turnout!!
I love that Memorial. It's so different. Very cool concept.
Thanks for posting all those. I know how time-consuming that is. I for one appreciate all your efforts.
You look very handsome in all your pics too.

Thank you Marion ![]()
It was truly an honor to help those men get this monument built. It was long overdue for these men and between the time we broke ground a year earlier, till the time we finished it... we'd lost ten WWII veterans that were instrumental in seeing this monument become reality.
We owed a LOT to all ten of them... we sorely missed them when we dedicated it. However, they were right there with us that glorious day ![]()
If you're ever in the neighborhood stop by and see it, it truly is a sight to behold. ![]()
