The Marble of Our Heroes' Headstones!
Video Of:
May 29, 2011

Have you ever wondered where all the marble comes from that makes the headstones for so many of the fallen heroes that rest in our National Cemeteries? Serena Altschul from the CBS Sunday Morning Show, traveled to the mountains in Danby, Vermont to find out in order to commemorate our country's war dead this Memorial Day.

Featured in the story are Cpl Frank W.Buckles (Feb 1901 - Feb 2011) -who was last known survivor of World War I and 1st LT Daren M. Hidalgo (Mar 4 1986 - Feb 20 2011) - who died while serving and protecting our country in Afghanistan. Each have recently received their headstones made from marble quarried from the Danby mountains.

`ON YOUR SHORE`
~+~
I laid down my life on shore
Why couldn't I have done more
My sacrifice has not changed a thing
As my brothers still do hear
bullets ring
~+~
I say lay down your arms today
Get down on your knees and pray
Freedom's here in God's heaven above
When you send the world all of
His Love
