Herb Riddle replied to Keith Burton:

The monument itself was also well done but the bronze relief was exceptional. Looking at this, surely like you did, I fell that I can almost stroke and feel the piece.

You countrymen Don, have some real artistic talent for sure. A great monument here that I am sure most passing patriots would be proud of, in more ways than one.
