Memorial Honoring 53

Memorial Honoring 53. . Not all soldiers wear uniforms and carry rifles. Those civilian workers who went into the Titan II Missile complex near Searcy August 9, 1965, were dressed in work clothes, wore hard hats, carried hammers and paint brushes, but who's to say they were not soldiers? The 53 workmen who were trapped when an explosion ripped through the missile silo gave up the greatest gift any soldier anywhere could give his life. , Their sacrifice and that of their families is no less than any other. , We gratefully acknowledge these men and dedicate this monument to their memory with love and respect. , We Miss You..... , Jack Adams, Wilburn Q.
