His is almost an hour. Good afternoon, everyone. My name is libby oh connell and m proud to serve on the World War One Centennial Commission. Yesterday marked the 240th anniversary of this nations very First Military memorial. On january 25, 1776, the Continental Congress approved the nations First Military memorial which commemorates brigadire general richard montgomery, one of the first generals lost in the american revolution.
