The people who live there today probably have no clue that a hero died there.
Should be a plaque at least.

I never knew my Grandfather. In fact, my father never knew his father because my Grandfather was shot and killed when my father was just 4 months' old. My Grandfather paid the ultimate price and our family is very proud of him.
