I think its a horrible thing to do. I mean, how much would it cost to build
another wall? Surely it would be worth the cost to keep the memorial
beautiful. Do you know if the Owensville Parks Board paid for the memorial

about this. Memorials should be held with the same respect as cemeteries.

wall, standing over 8 feet tall and 20 feet wide, and lists all the names
of the men and women from this area who served our country in all the
wars. There is several hundred names on it.
The Owensville Parks Board, in their infinite wisdom, decided to attach a
rest room to the back side of this Memorial, using the brick wall of the
Memorial as
What were they thinking? Count me in if we need to get a petition together
or what. I don't live in Gibson County anymore, but am not THAT far away.
