    To say the least just standing next to this great piece of history was very impressive to me. Also recalling our guest speaker we heard at the library, really added another dimension of appreciation. I am sorry I do not recall his name, please post up with is name.

    Col. Kris Mineau was the guest speaker - who yanked the patch and knife pouch off of Col. Olds uniform!
