A nice memorial, and the Memorial Day service was very moving.
I believe this is also the only such wall where the names are organized by the high school attended by the service member memorialized.
It is indeed, a wonderful memorial and it's great how the fallen honored are listed as schools attended. That certainly makes it even more personalized.
A beautiful tribute to our fallen soldiers.
I wish it was in a better location.
To all honored on that wall thank you.
