Memorial

I walked in the PX last night and stopped right in my tracks inside the front door. Right in front of me was a tall plywood memorial to soldiers killed in this area. Oh this list was the name of my wife's nephew Johnny V. Mata. A soldier had spent time painting each name on this sign. I believe this was done in the early stages of the war. What a great thing to do to help soldiers remember the names of the soldiers not just the number of dead.
