There are lots of cool veterans' parks and memorials around the Austin area. My favorite is in Cedar Park, but there's also a neat monument here in Pflugerville. Yesterday we decided to visit the Round Rock Veterans' Park. They have a monument right on the edge of Brushy Creek. We saw lots of really neat water fowl, canoes and kayaks, and there was a playground for the kids.
The kids have two great-great-great uncles on Scott's side of the family that died in World War II. Uncle Ellis was a medic and received the Silver Star; he died on Tarawa in the Pacific. Uncle George was only eighteen and died on Iwo Jima.
