Thank you for posting. I live a mile away from there and work on Ft Knox and have not heard anything about it. I would normally get an email at work about things like this but haven't.

Thank You Tim, for the most kind words . . you are a fine man. . just like your dad! He was very special to me amd always would share yours and his fishing successfulness and reports on your fishing adventures.
We had a great dedication ceremony . . . some where between 850 and 1,000 to attend and I am still getting reports how wonderful of an event and how the memorial turned out! Many folks thought we went out and hired a publicist or event promoter for the occassion; but I assure you this was done in house with the Kentucky Veterans Cemetery director and myself. Everyone said how moving and patriotic it was!

Peter, thank you for you kind words and endorsement! The 9/11 Memorial. It is truly something to see! Unfortunately, I am going into a depression now that it is up and "Standing Tall" for all to enjoy and see . . I truly have no deadlines, scheduling and planing meetings . . I don't have anything glamorous in my life except 'honey do list' at home, which is not near as exciting. LOL
We do have have the three granite walls behind the World Trade Center beam feature but we are in waiting for some donations to come in! We have a debt to the monument company now that we need to get paid down before we can proceed further. Any one knowing of some wealthy Patriots out there that can help . . please let me know!
Thanks
Mel

Chuck, Thanks for your kind words and endorsement! This to me was not work but was a pleasure to truly do something important for all those that lost their lives on that fateful day of 9/11 and for all the fighting sevice men and women that have lost their lives defending this country, against terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan!
I am looking forward to getting out on the ole river with you . . your are the man! Thanks Chuck. Mel
