Dedication of New Veterans Memorial
Dedication of New Veterans Memorial
We noted in a previous issue that the New Veterans Memorial was to be dedicated on November 11th, and so it was. (Yes, we know, we got the time wrong! How were we to know that we were more imaginative than the organizers?)
A very large crowd, perhaps rivaling that which attended the 1925 Veterans Memorial Dedication, was present. Among the spectators were our photographer friends Don Coen and Wally Hulver.
