Yesterday a memorial was dedicated to those black men from Lexington Park, Maryland who chose to join the United States army. Here is a short video of the dedication that includes a speech from Congressman Steny H. Hoyer. It is nice to see this taking place in a small community.

And unless I’m mistaken, the monument was sculpted by my friend and fellow SCV member, Gary Casteel.
That’s nice to hear.
I thought you’d be impressed.
