I visited the University today and received a walk through with Sergeant First Class, U.S. Army (retired) Douglas Salyer. He showed me all the different war items and was very informative on it all. This really is a must do if you or your family members are veterans or not. It is very educational and interesting. I saw hand grenades and a lot of different things. I saw Veterans History Book/LC Eastern KY Vietnam Book and a Lawrence Co. WWll Vol. 1 book which they have for sale. It has 356 veterans from the Tri-State area with 90% from Lawrence County.
This event is free and open to the public, honoring our local veterans for their service. Thank-you to all who have served our country!
“Bugle used during the Revolutionary War 1775-1781”.? I’m not intending to be rude, but that bugle has Confederate States Of America, or CSA clearly stamped on its side!
Yes, that’s my bad, I had so many pics and was trying to sort everything out and mislabeled it. Thank you for taking interest in the exhibit!
Sandy, its OK, I’ve made mistakes. Thank you for the honor you give. You’ve done fine work, and should be proud. Thank you.
That bugle is clearly marked CSA (Confederate States of America).
I remember playing around lots of slabs of concrete on Town Hill. I only wished I had a metal detector in those days. The history museum would have had more artifacts. I went up the front face of town hill until I got to the top. I was told this was the remains of a water storage reservoir, but I know Fort Bishop had a lot of concrete. I climbed the walls and hide behind the broken slabs. I’d love to revisit but doubt that can be done these days. I’d have to go up the trail because the bypass road took out much of the face of the hill. I love this salute to our veterans. Lawrence County felt every major conflict as friends, sons, daughters and relatives lent their services to this great nation. Many gave their all. Remember them.
Thank whomever on the bugle. 🙂
