In the thirteen years in living in Huntington, I had never been to the Spring Hill Cemetery to view the Marshall Memorial until this evening. I felt it would be befitting to pay my respects on the anniversary and hoped to capture a few sce
nes of people there before the sunset. I met some very nice individuals there taking pictures and showing their own respects. The older man name in the photo with the Marshall jacket on was Glenn and he said that he actually witnessed the smoldering wreckage on that fateful night. He said that he was meeting his granddaughter there tonight who knew every line in the movie, We Are Marshall. When she arrived, she quoted the entire pep speech scene from the movie line-for-line as her mother videotaped the whole thing from her phone. I captured her photo while she was mid-speech. Awesome and chilling.
