I sit to the side of this memorial looking directly at the old National Guard Armory on the corner of Benz and 2nd. The Bell in the foreground came from the USS Frederick. In the background is a very large double sided monument that contains the names of those KIA in WWII. I note there are 11 Carroll kin named. In front of the monument is a stone memorial to those who participated in the greatest amphibious and airborne invasion on this day, June 6, in 1944. It is dedicated the Maryland National Guard 115th Infantry. Off to my right, in Baker Park, hymns play on the grand Bell Tower. I think it would be proper today if they were to play the Navy Hymn. May these folk who were killed in action from wounds this day, and fell with the mark of faith, rest in peace until that mighty Day of the Lord and final awful reckoning and jubilee.
