Faces on the Wall tribute to be at CHS
A 'Faces On The Wall' tribute to Kansas military men who died during the Vietnam conflict will be on display March 26-28 at Centre High School. Area residents are invited to visit any time during those days.
The display originally was created in 2000 to honor five men from Marshall County in north central Kansas. Since then, more pictures have been added.
Anyone whose name is on The Wall in Washington, D.C. and is from north central Kansas or has a relative in that area can be pictured on the display.
A picture of George Martinez, uncle of David Martinez of Peabody, is on the wall. George was born in Florence and died at age 33. He had three children.
Robert Boese, son of the former Ezra and Ann Boese of Marion, died May 23, 1969, at age 22. His picture also is on the wall. He was married.
The Faces On The Wall tribute has been in more than 60 schools in Kansas and Nebraska.
The web site, www.facesonthe wall.com, is a scrapbook of the men who are pictured on the display. It also has a section for any Kansas veteran who perished in Vietnam.
Harvey and Betty Sanders' nephew, Trevor Foreman of Newton, designed the web site. He said it is averaging 60 hits a day.
Anyone wanting to add a picture to the display can e-mail Foreman at this address: trevor@facesonthewall.com.
