Much lip flapping is being made today about US service men and women being 
killed in Iraq.

In Sweet Home, in the 40's there was a big billboard, on a mound, on the SW 
corner of 12th & Main Streets that listed our war dead in WW II.  A Shell gas 
station occupied that corner for a few years, but it too, is now gone.

I remember feeling a bit disapointed that I did not know any of the persons 
named on that billboard.  Is there anyone here that may have seen that 
billboard?  Do you have a photo of it?
I delete virtually everything that shows up on this list, which I have been a 
member of for years because something in my area might show up some day.  You 
are a bunch of clacking old hens, who should form a chat group, because that 
is what you want to do.  YOU were SORRY you didn't see any names you 
recongnized?  I totally support the war in Iraq but the boy who grew up 2 houses down 
from my house died in Iraq  and one of my grandsons is there now.  YOU should 
be GLAD you didn't recognize any of the names.  You totally disgust me.  Will 
go back to ignoring all this crap unless it mentions one of my surnames or 
Union County.
