This morning we went to the dedication of the Fourth Ward War Memorial.. Through the efforts of Fourth Ward Veterans Jim Draus and Carol Krajewski this monument was created and maintained ..The corner of Edsion and Vrooman was renamed Draus Drive and Krajewski Corner
The wpman in the last picture designed the monument when she was 20 // I have to ask againg what her name is ,but she said now at 54 she is so much aware of her purpose then//
Representative Tonko gave a moving speach on how the mosaic of our society lead us through the struggles of war
Mayor Thane reminded us that we should live our lives as examples that veterans can look to and see that their sacrifices were justified

Wow, these are all great ones, Phil. That plant is amazingly bright! Are you going to submit any to Mayor Thane?
Beautiful photos, Phil! They are all bright, vivid images...just terrific! I especially love the flowering plant: the beautiful pink of the flowers contrasting with the white background and the angles created by the slats of the siding in one direction, with the lines of the railing in the other. Very nice composition! The other images are terrific examples of photojournalism. Great job, Phil!!!
P.S. Forgot to mention that I love the bright red street signs against the green foliage...really nice, Phil!
So many good things to say about these documentary style photos. Very important topic and good capture of the people involved.
