I recently learned of the benches that have been placed at the Korean War Memorial with the Cole Land Transportation logo on them. I find this totally unacceptable and inappropriate. I placed two memorial pavers at the monument honoring my late husband, who served in Korea with the United States Marine Corps.

This blatant advertising dishonors not only the Korean War veterans but also Ken Buckley who, along with a dedicated and steadfast group of individuals, worked for many years to see this monument come to fruition in this beautiful place in Mount Hope Cemetery. I would hope the cemetery association would see fit to have these benches removed and in the future to guard against any further incursions.
