On June 19, on the grounds of the old courthouse in Abilene, a beautiful 45th Division monument was dedicated.
None is to be excluded.
This probably means very little, if anything, to some people, for many who would consider this a great honor are now deceased. My husband of 44 years, now deceased, was a long-time member of this division and was in battle with it from day one through it all. You see why this dedication was very special to me. Until his death in 1985, he remained very active in the 45th Division Association. He would have been most grateful and pleased with this special occasion.
