Remembering The Boys of Praha, Texas....for Veteran's Day

 

In a space of 1 year and 9 days, during World War II,

 Praha, Texas, a small community of 100,

lost most of its young men.

 

 

Nine young men, listed on this monument,

were never to return home to live out a full life.

 

 

With their deaths,

a generation of young men were lost. 

 

 

 

All but Pvt Eddie Sbrusch, who was lost at sea,

were brought back home,

 to rest here.....

A special note:

Every year there is a wonderful Veteran's Day Remembrance

held in Praha Texas.

 

It is very special,

including a fly-over of vintage aircraft

 with a flower drop over the cemetery.
