The statue will be a life like version of Joseph on a pedestal, in military garb. it was one of the last pictures taken of him before his death in combat. The goal is to exceed $100k with the first 10K a goal. Over $600 was raised by Post 64. Many thanks from the family, Col Hoff and the District Commander.  Intent is to raise and erect this bronze statue at the entrance of the Monroe High School athletic complex with words  to effect Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in all we do.

On the ABC evening news, it was reported  that, because of the dangers from Hurricane Isabelle approaching Washington DC, the military members assigned the duty of guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier were given permission to suspend the assignment.

They respectfully declined the offer, "No way, Sir!"  Soaked to the skin, marching in the pelting rain of a tropical storm, they said that guarding the Tomb was not just an assignment; it was the highest honor that can be afforded to a serviceperson.

The tomb has been patrolled continuously, 24/7, since 1930.
