Kansas hero memorialized...

The Shreveport Times is reporting that a memorial honoring Lt. Erwin Bleckley, and Lt. Harold Goettler for their bravery during WWI will be unveiled in Remicourt, France on Wednesday. I reckon some of the frogs still remember...

God forgive us when we take for granted the wonderful lives we live, due to the brave souls that have for centuries paid the ultimate price for it.

Lt. Erwin Bleckley

Here is a bio of Lt. Bleckley, from the Kansas National Guard Hall of Fame. Well worth the read.

    Hey MUD, good deal man! I saw this article in our local news, and thought about you.

    I knew that you were Kansas National Guard. But I didn't know that you afilliated with the historical side of things. Cool man...really cool.

    Bleckley was one heckuvaguy...a real hero. It makes me happy to know that even 90 years later folks still give a flip.
