Hello, friends. Tyler here, checking in for the Memorial Day afternoon shift. Shoutout to these three fine soldiers for representing Kentucky all the way in Lithuania. What a timely reminder that today isn’t about cookouts and mattress sales, but rather the courageous men and women who fight so hard to keep us safe. You are all in my thoughts today, especially those we’ve lost.
In that vein, I’d like to share some pictures a friend of mine in Danville took of a new historical marker at Constitution Square, which honors the first USCT recruits at Camp Nelson. I wasn’t aware of this story until now, but what incredible bravery those men showed.
