Maryland XL

Creagerstown, Maryland was founded in 1750 and served as a crossroads for travelers and goods. It is affectionately known as the "town four miles from everywhere" as it lies that distance from four different towns.

A town of about 1400 people, its growth was stunted by a major fire in the early 1900s.

However, they have, like so many small towns, determined to honor their vets.

This beautiful little site sits on Main Street.

No names are listed here. A search of "The Wall of Faces" from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Foundation displays no names from Creagerstown. So, the good people here simply honor all those lost.

 

 

 

I am, once again, mightily impressed by what small towns manage to do for their vets.

Next time, on the 6th, we will return to Massachusetts, so join me there, as always, at 9:00 am.

To see additional memorials from Maryland, or any other state, please click a state name on the left side of this page.

I will ask, as I do at the end of nearly every post now, for anyone who has pictures of Vietnam memorials not seen here to please send them to me. I will give you full photo credit for the pic and any information about it you may know. Check your state, or anywhere you may have visited, from the list at the left, or any place else for that matter. Please send them to the email at the left or directly to me at Ldddad@comcast.net. Thanks.
