post 81 has a back account. (park account) we have some money in this account now, we just had our first american legion post 81 rodeo fund raiser, this money will be placed in the park account. work has begun on this park now. WW-1 some 1000 men, WW-2 some 2600, Korea some 900, Vietnam some 800, national guard who were not on federal duty.

the information needed now is help from the people of Choctaw county, names of persons fro WW-1, WW-2, Korea, Vietnam, and gulf. (copy of 214 form, if you dont have one, you may get one from probate office, or you may ail letter or note saying i can see their records. this information will help with the park.
