West Virginia IX

About 22 miles south of Frostburg, Maryland is Keyser, West Virginia and at the Mineral County Courthouse you will find this memorial to 80 from the county who gave their all to our county's wars.

Thirteen of these were lost in Vietnam.

I have read that a man from the area disputes these numbers as far too low and is attempting to collect additional data. It will be interesting to see just what he finds.

Next time, on the 3rd of August, we will make a return trip to Alaska, so meet me there at 9:00am.
