"Very moving 9/11 20th Anniversary Memorial Service.Organized by Diane Huggins and Kathy Franchina to honor the First Responders and Military"
"The home for the Washington County Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial is in the Washington Cemetery located at 498 Park Avenue, Washington, PA, 15301. The site for the Memorial was carefully selected for its close proximity to the Veteran’s Section where hundreds of soldiers from all wars have been laid to rest. Carved out of the hillside directly downhill of the Veteran’s Section, the setting is reminiscent of the seclusion offered to visitors at "The Wall" in Washington, DC. Here the Memorial will perpetually honor the 67 fallen sons of Washington County who made the ultimate sacrifice, "Lest We Forget". The Memorial project originated with Todd Ashmore, resident of Washington whose father, father-in-law, and cousin all served in Vietnam: "I feel it’s my generation’s responsibility to set this situation right. They didn’t get the ticker tape parade of World War II. You always feel that they felt let down." "In my eyes you have always stood just a little taller than everyone else – you will not be forgotten – welcome home.""
