ONE OF THE BIG MISTAKES MANY MUNICIPALITIES MADE AFTER WORLD WAR II WAS TO REMOVE AND DESTROY THOSE BIG BOARDS IN MANY COMMUNITIES AND IN FRONT OF MANY CHURCHES WHICH LISTED THE VETERANS WHO SERVED IN WORLD WAR II. THEY SHOULD BE REPOSING IN OUR PARKS. I INTEND TO SAVE EACH AND EVERY LISTING OF THIS TYPE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS WHO ARE TRYING TO FIND INFO ON THOSE BRAVE VETERANS.

Tom: In the not to distant past, you published a picture of just such a Veterans Board installation at the Swamp Angel in "Gosetown", to which I was a young Squirt and proud to be a part. I wonder if the names on that Board were ever recorded??? I believe it was 1942, and Commisioner George W Page was at the installation??????
ReplyDeleteI never realized at that time that it would have been prudent to record that information. I wish I had the foresight to do that.
Love your site and the fine work you do.
Sicerely Jim

ReplyDeleteI TRIED TO CONTACT YOU VIA EMAIL TO RESPOND TO YOUR MESSAGE, BUT AFTER 3 TRIES, THEY ALL BOUNCED. AS TO YOUR OBSERVATION ON THE VETERANS' BOARDS OVER THE YEARS, I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT THEY HAVE BEEN DESTROYED. UNFORTUNATELY, MANY INDIVIDUALS HAVE NO IDEA OF WHAT IS AND IS NOT OF HISTORIC IMPORTANCE.
