Bricks honor 105 Cedar Rapids WW II soldiers at All Veterans Park
In Cedar Rapids a granite walkway displays names from Company C 133rd Infantry 34th Division. Bob Woodford 85 recalls buying 50 bricks for 35 dollars each to recognize comrades from Waubeek to Marion. The piece notes induction dates through Pearl Harbor and VE Day and recalls losses, POWs, and injuries. Dave Rasdal’s Patriotism column runs periodically.
