Jim Bryant- Veteran's Memorial
First off we want to thank all the men and women who have served or are serving in the United States Military! They have all put their life on the line to protect our freedom and we are forever grateful for each and every one.
Jim sat down with Jason and shared his story of life in the United States Army. He has lived in several other countries while serving and also fought in the Vietnam War.
Jim along with some other veterans a few years back set out to get a Veterans Memorial built and established in Jackson County, Kentucky. Their efforts were a huge success!
The Jackson County Veteran's Monument and Memorial is in memory of and to honor the men and women of Jackson County that have served this great nation to preserve the freedom we enjoy today. The pentagram shaped memorial's 5 sides represent all branches of our military. Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force, and Marines. The Jackson County Veterans Memorial is located at- 20 McCammon Ridge Road-McKee, Kentucky 40447 GPS:37.41898,-83.96929
Thank you to the JCDC and all the inmates who maintain the beautiful park!
When you visit, please be kind and respectful.
Toward the end of this episode Jim gives us a couple of wonderful stories as a bonus! The first is a more detailed Storie of The Pigg cemetery. Three Brothers are buried there side by side that died within six months of each other from an STD they picked up in New Orleans during the Civil War. The second story is of a lady that Jim's grandfather found who had passed away while traversing through, what is now part of the Daniel Boone National Forest. Her name was Matilda Hurst (Tildy Hump). She was of a drifter type nature and the story goes that, her husband had left her years before, taking their young daughter with him. After that Tildy spent her life, waking through Eastern Kentucky in search of her husband and child.
We thank God for each and every story that we are able to preserve!
We thank You for listening and your ongoing support!
We also thank our sponsors-The Jackson County Sun, WWAG Wagon Country, The Jackson County Extension Office, Spokeless Wheel Farm, Living Stone Outreach, John Caywood.
