| Memorial
Boulevard in Martinsville, VA is a very busy street. There
is a special monument there although it is obscured by
trees and speed. On October 16, 1954 the street was new
and special. That Saturday there was a dedication ceremony
with an address by Governor Thomas B. Stanley. A large
crowd and local officials along with the State Highway
Commissioner, James A. Anderson, were in attendance. The
Boulevard would be a memorial to World War II soldiers
who were killed. A plaque in their memory was unveiled
by Mrs. Ryland Compton, pictured in the center below,
whose husband was killed in the battle of Coral Sea. The
plaque was donated by Pannill Post 42 of the American
Legion. |
