Kentucky Memorials


donated by Bud Caudle

The Kentucky Memorial was just completed a year or two ago. In the center

are statues of Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis to represent both Union

and Confederate units/soldiers who served there. On the wall surrounding the

memorial are the names and numbers of Kentucky units that were in the battle

both Union and Confederate.

D-Day Memorial aren't very good, but will give an idea of how

awesome it really is. It depicts soldiers coming out of the landing boat and

onto the beach. Some are dead, and some are still advancing. Mortar rounds

are heard, and water splashes up around them. Then, there are soldiers

climbing a rock wall. One has been shot and looks like he is in a lot of

pain.  The flower display is in the shape and perfect colors of the unit shoulder patch.
