Goodness - what a powerful memorial. And I can imagine that reading the Boys of Bedford before visiting made it even more powerful.
Landon would LOVE this, Kristine!
Thanks for sharing. I love it when I have "coincidental" learning opportunities like this.
Wow - that was powerful just seeing the photos. I can't imagine actually being there to see it IRL.
