I am glad you are going to photograph everything related to the veterans. My home town tore the World War II memorial down, and the one n this town is long gone too. I remember them both, but have no pictures. My dad and many relatives were on the hometown memorial. It is a real shame no one cares any more.
I hope you continue to get better and are able to get back to your trains

Vietnam gave war a bad name...So all things war-related are frowned upon.
Back in the day when I was just a kid, I sold "Hallmark All-Ocassion" cards door-to-door. On one of the many doors I knocked I met a WW2 vet that had lost both legs and was confined to a wheelchair. He lived alone, with the ocassional visit from a daughter.
I felt quite sorry for him, so I visited with him a couple of times a month. This went on for several months, until one day his daughter answered the door, only to inform me that Butch had passed on...That was a sorry day...
