David Teall made phone calls to veterans, got everyone organized, and then got them to work on the site.
Ron Williams, one of the volunteers and a Korean War veteran said that it used to be all World War II veterans that would come out to maintain the site. "When we first cleaned it up years ago, the stone was lying flat. Members of the VFW used to show up the most," he said.
John Frazier, a Vietnam War veteran stated, "I never even knew about this until about eight years ago when they came up here and really cleaned it up. I didn't even know we had a Medal of Honor winner here."
Last year, Frazier contacted David Teall and they went up in fall to look and see what else needed to be done. "The flags needed to be replaced and the stone was leaning over and needed cleaning and this was all overgrown. This guy deserves more respect," he stated.
Frazier said, "We wanted to get it done before Memorial Day, and here we are."
Thank You Gentlemen. --Old B-Runner
