To the Editor:
Katie Lange of Defense.gov wrote a great article on Eli Whiteley, Medal of Honor recipient in World War II, in the Jan. 6 Fort Hood Herald.

The first donation was $90,000 by Bert and Dollie Fisher.
Eliâs name is on the memorial on the right side of the entrance and David E. Hayden, Medal of Honor, World War I, is on the left side of the entrance.
He was born Oct. 2, 1897, in Florence. It would great if you could do a story on him.
