Pennsylvania XXVIII

Milford is the county seat of Pike County, named for Zebulon Pike. Pike is credited with "discovering" Pike's Peak and he was killed in the War of 1812 while serving as a General.

The memorial was first dedicated in 1931 as a memorial to those who served in WWI.

Called the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial it was refurbished in 1991 and is said to honor all.

Located along Broad Street in a pretty park setting it does boast these small markers to honor other wars.

This is the only mention of Vietnam at the site, but it is here.

Next time, on the 22nd, we will return to Rhode Island, so join me there, as always, at 9:00am.

Georgia XII

Due south of Atlanta, about an hour, is Zebulon. I was just passing through when I came across this memorial.

Dedicated to many, from many wars, in includes four of our brothers lost in 'Nam.

Located at the Pike County Court House it was built by the American Legion Post 197.

It may be found on the corner of Main Street and Barnesville Street.

I am always delighted to chance upon memorials that are unknown and unexpected.

Next time on the 24th, we will take another look at Idaho, so join me there at 9:00am.
