Day 8 - Corydon, IN to Hurricane, WV

We left Corydon for the VA hospital in Louisville, Kentucky with an Army Apache helicopter escort. What a rewarding experience to be able to, once again, thank our veterans who have paid a great price in the on-going efforts to secure our freedom. And, once again, at the Louisville VA, we had the opportunity to visit with one of the few living World War I veterans.

From the Louisville VA, we traveled to Frankfurt, Kentucky to visit the Kentucky Vietnam Memorial. This memorial is very unique in that it is a sun dial whose shadow falls on each name on the day and time that they passed away.
This year, we had the additional good fortune of meeting with the designer.

From Frankfurt, we crossed into Almost Heaven and a roaring reception in Hurricane, West Virginia.
