Florida XXIII

This memorial is interesting because it is chrome which makes it really stand out in the Florida sun, but very hard to photograph for the same reason.

It is located at a VFW in Melbourne although there seemed to be no one there when Steve and I visited.

 

 

A simple plaque embedded in stone speaks to the sacrifice of these men and the importance of their efforts.

 

"IF WE BELIEVE IN OUR WAY OF LIFE THEN THE VOICES OF ALL FREE MEN WILL RESOUND ACROSS THE NATION AND MEN WILL LISTEN."

 

The attached plaque.

 

 

"For Those Who Fought For It, Freedom Has A Flavor The Protected Will Never Taste"

 

Near by on its separate stanchion is the following.

 

The VFW is on Dairy Road in Melbourne. 

Next time on the 3rd of August we will revisit Indiana, so join me there at 9:00am.
