Happy Battery Day, I mean Birthday Bruce

Friday, May 24, 2019

After coffee and a nice breakfast, Bruce disconnected the old battery and off we went in search of a new Interstate battery.  Only two stops later, success.  Close by too!  Poor Bruce.  Batteries are heavy and the position of the coach made it very difficult to lift the battery into the battery box.  After a mighty acrobatic feat, he got the job done.  Now off to do a little shopping and get the dust rinsed off the truck.  Once that was done we went off in search of some local sights.  As it is Memorial Day weekend it seemed quite appropriate we saw some awesome memorials.  First, in a small park downtown was this pile of helmets.  Each had the name of a fallen hero from WW II and the Korean War.

Also in this park was this stone with a poem to all fallen heroes

.

We moved on to Zane Landing, another closeby park where we found this statue.

1. John McIntire, Founder of Zanesville.
2. Noah Norris, Enlisted in the first black Ohio Regiment (Civil War)
3. Zane Gray, author of many westerns.
4. John Glenn, astronaut, first American to orbit Earth.

There were more war memorials.

Vietnam

Iraq

The Eternal Flame dedicated to Medal of Honor Recipients

This park is also the home of the Lorena Sternwheeler.

Back to the RV to relax with a cocktail and some snacks.  Then I made Bruce a nice steak dinner for his birthday.  Now I am ready for nighty-night.
