Talk about changing the name of Memorial Field moves me to speak to the topic. Memorial Field was originally named to be a living memorial to the memory of war veterans, dead and alive. This naming was approved by the school board Aug. 17, 1946. I believe that the title Memorial Field was intended to honor all veterans of all wars. Individuals come and go in the natural order of things.
War veterans live on as part of our history and heritage.
There are other forms of recognition for outstanding athletes. Don't infringe upon war veterans. Bill Turnball, Cdmr. This chap has got to be one of the most ignorant people I have ever had the misfortune to read in my life. His opinion is, at best, naive, and at worst woefully ignorant.
