Recently, my step-father-in-law attended a reunion of his squadron from the U.S. Air Force. The reunion was held at the base in Rapid City, South Dakota. Guess who he and my mother-in-law were able to see when they were there?
The presidents were gracious enough to grant an audience, up close and personal.
Question: if plans were made to add a fifth face to the monument, whose would you suggest? I would vote for FDR, for leading the country through the Great Depression and the majority of WWII.
Matt,
ReplyDeleteI would argue for James Madison ot James Monroe over Teddy Roosevelt, and FDR isn't a bad choice.
Did you get a chance to see the Crazy Horse monument-in-progress? (I've always wanted to see it.)
Jawn
My in-laws went to South Dakota a few weeks ago, not me (unfortunately). I went to both spots about 25 years ago, shortly after Korczak Ziolkowski died. They had only blasted through under his outreached arm - I don't remember if they had begun work on his head or not. I plan to go back someday soon.
