While visiting and covering Emporia for the Glass Blown Open tournament Ed stopped by and visited our beautiful All Veterans Memorial. Here's a few photos he has shared with us and a brief comment:
"If my father-in-law was still with us, the Sherman would have triggered some emotional memories as that is the tank he drove in North Africa and as I mentioned, was hit by a German shell. He was fortunate to be pulled out of the burning tank by U.S. infantryman. I don't think the rest of his crew survived as I recall."
