My husband Bill and I will drive to Jacksonville to take part in the dedication. Wow is honoring the 50th anniversary of the Korean War and since Bill is a Korean War veteran, he will take part in that special Veterans Dance at 2 p.m. A special guest will be the last World War II Commanche Code Talker, Charles Chibiddy, Lawton, Ok. Wow will be Friday May 18 to Sunday May 20. It is held at Community Park on East Morton Ave and South Main, about a mile southwest of the park where the marker will be dedicated.
Admission is free.
