It won’t go down in history as the world’s largest Memorial, but it has to be one of the most heartfelt Memorials ever.
If you were at the L-N football game last Friday night and happened to be on the Raider side of the field near the bleachers, you had the chance to see a small Memorial expression built to recognize and honor the 13 American military personnel killed during the recent exodus from Afghanistan during the terrorist takeover of that country.
The effort came from a L-N junior student, Will Dougherty, who put the Memorial together.
When asked why he wanted to put the Memorial together and display it, his answer was somewhat non-specific. “It was a feeling,” he said, “that something should be done to honor those killed.”
He wanted to do something to say thank you to those killed and since he can’t join the military because of health reason, he had to express his feeling in some way. He obtain information from the internet and guidance from principal, Mr. Kennedy, his parents, Dakota Thayer and Jay Lyons.
