One of the features of the Park is a set of marble stones with the names of Bryan/College Station, Texas veterans, living and dead from all wars and/or service, topped here with a bronze statue of soldiers in combat.
Unknown to me, Dad made a contribution to have my name placed on one of the stones in the park, which was a really super thing to do. Each Veterans Day, the names of the new inductees are read in a ceremony, and we were privileged and honored to attend. Especially to have my name in marble and still be alive to enjoy it, eh!
And on the way out after the ceremony we followed Patton on his way to review the troops. Actually this guy runs what I understand to be an awesome museum of GI equipment in the local area that's only open one day a year and we hope to attend the open house this winter.
Thanks again, Pop!
