Remembering The Boys of Praha, Texas....for Veteran's Day

 
In a space of 1 year and 9 days, during World War II,
 Praha, Texas, a small community of 100,
lost most of its young men.
 
 
Nine young men, listed on this monument,
were never to return home to live out a full life.
 
 
With their deaths,
a generation of young men were lost. 
 
 
 
All but Pvt Eddie Sbrusch, who was lost at sea,
were brought back home,
 to rest here.....

A special note:
Every year there is a wonderful Veteran's Day Remembrance
held in Praha Texas.
 
It is very special,
including a fly-over of vintage aircraft
 with a flower drop over the cemetery.

    1. I do realize there are thousands and thousands of stories similar to this one. This small community still remembers and honors those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

  2. My hubby and I just saw "Hacksaw Ridge." So many lives lost of our young men. War is horrible and I hope to never see another one, XOXO
