Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Libby Oconnell and i am proud to serve on the Centennial Commission. Yesterday marked the 240th anniversary of this nations First Military memorial. On january 25, 1776, the confidential Congress Approved the nations First Military memorial which celebrates brigadier montgomery. Since 1776, communities across the United States have built solemn poignant tributes to our solars and sailors, marines and airmen, nurses and all the people helping back home.

Now, in talking about the two reconstructions, im going to have to use some broad generalizations of a type im not entirely comforta
