Greg, It's Official JUNE 1st 08 we will have a very large Memorial Service for the 23 Veterans that are buried in the River City Cemetery for the indigent and homeless. They are mostly Viet Nam Veterans and a few WW II/Korea. I would really appreciate the PGR coming to this. I promise that it will be first class.
I will meet the people Monday from the Parks Department that is over this Cemetery and get all the names and mark the graves with stakes.
 
Memorial Mission:
 
June 1st 08 1400 Hours 2 PM
I would like for all the PGR to get there at 1 PM or before to set up. I would like a PGR member  to hold a Flag at each of the 23 graves spread out across this field step forward and raise the Flag up when I read the Name of the Veteran where they stand. 
 
River Valley Cemetery 5400 Cane Run Road at Lower Hunter Trace along the Ohio River next to the huge LG& E Power plant in Louisville, Kentucky.
 
23 Veterans found buried in the Louisville City Cemetery buried without Honor. This is for the homeless and indigent and there are very few head stones.
I'm working on getting them all a head stone.

Thanks to each and everyone of these 23 veterans for their service to our country to protect freedom for my family and others. I extend my family's prayers and condolences to the family and friends of each one of these brave and uncelebrated heroes who served when called and made the ultimate sacrifice. May each of you rest in peace and that we never forget your sacrifices nor that of your families.

Standing in Spirit for these 23 Veterans. They are American Heroes never to be forgotten.
God Bless these heroes and comfort their families.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: 1. Jesus Christ. 2. The American G.I. One died for your soul, the other for your Freedom.

These Veterans, the count is now up to 25,  paid the ultimate price for our freedom and I am honored to be allowed to stand for them as they finally get the recognition they are due.  May we not rest until we have found all of our unmarked Veterans and give them the full memorial service that they so justly deserve.   Walt you are doing an incredible job.
