Annie went to the Veterans Living Memorial

Dear friends,
Annie and I went to the Veterans Living Memorial in Marion, IL. This memorial is dedicated to all veterans, living and nonliving. It was created by the VFW Post 1301 in order for people to become more aware of veterans' sacrificies, especially the ones that fought in the War on Terrorism. Annie and I had a great time. We looked at the memorial and played on the old tank in front of the VFW. Did you know that the memorial has names on it from the Civil War up to the war in Iraq? What a generation gap! War has touched all our lives, young and old, and this memorial is a perfect representation of that impact.
