While serving as a machine gunner defending Company B's perimeter, Corporal Goodblood voluntarily remained to cover the unit's withdrawal to more tenable positions. He had his assistant evacuated and remained to defend the position despite overwhelming odds. When his body was recovered, there were over 100 enemy dead in his line of fire. Consisting of various sized granite stones, leading up to the memorial, the walkway represents a special way to remember lost loved ones, buddies of long ago or units served in all of our nation's wars.

Route 100 can be accessed from U.S. 95 at the Clinton and Pittsfield exits. A second granite bench has been added to the site. Work is underway to further beautify the grounds and add an off-road parking area for the convenience of visitors. Much of the work has been accomplished and the finishing touches should be completed in the Spring. It is a story of war and heroism, love and remembrance.
