On behalf of Allen W. Ingram's family we thank you Bill Haro and all the others who were involved with creating such a beautiful memorial and tribute. If my Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Cliffton (Allen's parents) were here to see it they would be very greatful.

Fifty four years ago we lost our first hero followed by an additional six from our Tri community. When these men passed away their pain stopped. In fact that is when their family’s pain began and continues today. Now the time has come that we let the Gold Star Families how much we appreciate their sacrifice. We will never forget them and we will stand by each of your side forever.

A heartfelt thank you to all the men on the memorial, two of which, Allen and Gary, were fellow church members. A "shout out" to Bill Haro and all the people that made this possible.
