West Virginia XX

Morgantown, as I have mentioned before, has a number of their lost heroes honored at the local high school. Eighteen of Morgantown High School's classmates bracket a flagpole and "Wall" seen elsewhere on this site.

In Case it has slipped by unmentioned, West Virginia  has the highest percentage of loss per capita of any state.

Today, I will honor several more of the group whose tribute is featured on the school grounds.



These men among the others here and elsewhere deserve our respect and to be remembered for all time

Next tune, on the 21st, we will return to Wisconsin, so join me there, as always, at 9:00 am. to honor more from their traveling memorial.

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

If you are following along at all, you will have seen that a number of you have responded to my request to send me memorials you have seen in your area or where you may have traveled. These submissions help expand the knowledge of how we have remembered the men and women who served or were lost in 'Nam and you help to honor them. If you have any such photos, I would love to see them. Please send them along to the email at the left and I will gladly share them here.
