| WWII Memorial - Gainsville Texas During a long highway trip, I stopped at a rest area for a "get out and stretch" break. My wife said, "Hey, look at this!" I had to take a few pics..........

| Outstanding post. Many thanks. The head football coach at Gainsville high in the early sixties was Buddy Ryan of Da Bears fame, just as an aside. The Chisholm Trail ran close by there also. |

| ...thought "Nuts!" McAuliffe was 501st PIR? Not to slight the memorial, that's not my intent.
