Veterans Day M41 Tank Rededication by Daniel Baker at Riverview Cemetery posted 11 November 2013 on flickr. D.O. McComb and Sons Funeral Home provided a beautiful spot for the memorial at their cemetery on Carroll Road. I photographed the tank this past summer near Johnny Appleseed Park not knowing it was to be moved. The memorial was uninspired, aged and out of the way. This is so much better.
A huge surprise awaited us this morning. This plane is sometimes on backorder for 2 years in order to get it for a special event and lo and behold we have it for the first time for an honor flight. There is only one Flagship Valor plane.
A November 17, 2022 post by The Bones of Kekionga on Facebook with photos states: We were kind of excited last Monday as we got back on a field suspected as a campsite for armies of Harmar, Wayne or Harrison and within minutes found musket balls, a lead block with '4th' engraved in it, perhaps used by a printer. Later that morning, a chewed lead ball with teeth marks was found perhaps used by an anxious infantryman or one that had been suffering from an injury or illness. But the positive Coup De Grace was finding what we are 95% sure is a decorative tombac button that would have been sewn on a cuff worn around the wrist of late 1700s or early 1800s American soldiers. An old spigot perhaps used for a barrel of whiskey? The search for more proof will continue at a later date.
