MEMORIAL BETTER THIN
MIRE ORJME
The following letter has
been received by Mayor Dan-
nie H. Sapp. The letter of
date, May 3, follows reburial
rites for Marvin Beard and
Sidney Watson. Lt. Colonel
Frank F. Kriwanek, Quarter-
master Corps, Commanding, of
Fort Worth, writes:
‘Recently two of our com-
rades-in-arms returned home.
It was not a happy occasion as
when so many others returned.
The sad occasion to which I
refer was when two of our
honored dead. Private Marvin
Beard, United States Army
Ground Force and Corporal
Sidney E. Watson, United
States Army Ground Force,
were returned to this country
for final interment.^ Without
the able assistance rendered
by your community, both prior
to and during the last rites,
the grief and sadness would
have been almost unbearable
to the bereaved families.
“I know this to be true, be-
cause the military escorts, Ser-
geant Walter T. Plavljanich,
Infantry, United States Army,
and Sergeant Timothy P.
Monk, Coast Artillery, United
States Army, were so impress-
ed by the fine work that they
reported it to me upon - their
return. Your community pro-
vided a memorial far better
than one of marble or bronze
—a memory of our comrades
laid in the final resting place
with honors bdfitting fallen
heroes; a memory which will
be indelibly written in the
minds of those who paid their
last respects.
‘T feel that I must write
this letter of thanks, for even
though the Department of the
Army has dedicated itself to
return our honored dead as
quickly and efficiently as is
humanly possible, our work
would be of little value, no
matter how well done, if it
were not for the aid of
patriotic citizens like those of
Timpson who so wholeheart-
edly cooperate in the last and
most important phase of the
Return Program.
“Please accept and express
to your community my deepest
appreciation for all that has
been done. If this office can
ever be of assistance to you, do
not hesitate to call upon us.1
