GENERAL HENRY KNOX MONUMENT

On the way back from "Chester on Track" I zigged when I should of zagged and got lost, or I guess you can say."Found another way home". I think I was in Russell MA when I came upon this monument to General Henry Knox. Gen. Knox carried by Oxen, 50 cannon from Fort Ticonderoga to Boston. Evidently, he passed through this area and this monument was erected in 1927, just over 150 years from when he was there. He set the cannon up in the Dorchester Heights area of Boston. The British General Howe realized that his troops were in danger of an American bombardment left Boston.

VETERAN'S TRIBUTE

I decided to post some of my photos, one from each war. I don't think I have anything from the Korean War, I guess they don't call it the "Forgotten War" for nothing.
