Manchester NH WWII Memorial

Post by Bill_Wolf »

A memorial to the over 12,000 Manchester NH WWII veterans was dedicated on August 24, 2009. Dr. Deuce attended and got his picture in the paper. The article can be found below. Courtesy of the NH UnionLeader newspaper.

The truck looks great, but the lack of shoe shine on those combat boots will surely result in the loss of a weekend pass for that trooper.
