The granite marker in the middle lists those who made the ultimate sacrifice, reading:<br><br>“Who paid the supreme price of their lives in the First World War, the Second World War, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, and who now await the reunion with us in eternity as we, their friends and loved ones who gather here keep their memory alive in our minds and hearts.”<br><br>The town's name comes from its location in a valley bordered by the Blue Mountain Range of the Ozark Mountains. Prior to the founding of Mountain View in 1890, the town of Riggsville, established in 1819 by Thomas Augustus Riggs, existed immediately to the east remaining until after the Civil War, when towns with southern sympathies were to be renamed or moved altogether.<br>Mountain View is the largest city in, and the county seat of, Stone County, Arkansas. Located in the Ozarks, the city has a rich tradition of preserving folk music and culture. Founded in 1873, the city's economy is largely based on tourism related to its title as the "Folk Music Capitol of the World". Mountain View hosts the Ozark Folk Festival in April, various folk artists at Ozark Folk Center State Park throughout the year, and weekly music gatherings on the courthouse steps that are free and open to the public. <br>The city is also known for outdoors recreation opportunities, including Blanchard Springs Caverns, trout fishing on the White River and the Ozark National Forest.<br><br>Mountain View tends to be a busy tourist destination, especially on weekends. Traffic moves slowly for several blocks and parking can be a challenge. There are many places to stop in and shop or just look around as well as a number of places to eat. Worth checking out if you’re hungry for American style food is PJ’s Rainbow Café at 216 W Main St. Rated 4.5 stars.<br><br>Instructions: Take a photo similar to the one attached, along with rider flag and motorcycle.

The granite marker in the middle lists those who made the ultimate sacrifice, reading:<br><br>“Who paid the supreme price of their lives in the First World War, the Second World War, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, and who now await the reunion with us in eternity as we, their friends and loved ones who gather here keep their memory alive in our minds and hearts.”<br><br>The town's name comes from its location in a valley bordered by the Blue Mountain Range of the Ozark Mountains. Prior to the founding of Mountain View in 1890, the town of Riggsville, established in 1819 by Thomas Augustus Riggs, existed immediately to the east remaining until after the Civil War, when towns with southern sympathies were to be renamed or moved altogether.<br>Mountain View is the largest city in, and the county seat of, Stone County, Arkansas. Located in the Ozarks, the city has a rich tradition of preserving folk music and culture. Founded in 1873, the city's economy is largely based on tourism related to its title as the "Folk Music Capitol of the World". Mountain View hosts the Ozark Folk Festival in April, various folk artists at Ozark Folk Center State Park throughout the year, and weekly music gatherings on the courthouse steps that are free and open to the public. <br>The city is also known for outdoors recreation opportunities, including Blanchard Springs Caverns, trout fishing on the White River and the Ozark National Forest.<br><br>Mountain View tends to be a busy tourist destination, especially on weekends. Traffic moves slowly for several blocks and parking can be a challenge. There are many places to stop in and shop or just look around as well as a number of places to eat. Worth checking out if you’re hungry for American style food is PJ’s Rainbow Café at 216 W Main St. Rated 4.5 stars.<br><br>Instructions: Take a photo similar to the one attached, along with rider flag and motorcycle.

In the final goodbye, the parents exhibit purpose and unspeakable selflessness.<br><br>Full of symbolism, the infant is portrayed as vulnerable and yet secure in the hands of his parents. He is swaddled in the American Flag. The hand of his father lifts him up with determination and purpose; using his strength to hold the head of the infant securely for the entire journey. <br><br>The mother’s hand, by contrast, forms a nurturing pose as she reluctantly and slowly lifts her child toward the heavens. The infant is simultaneously emitting a cry of victory and of separation with which the artist hopes to show the ambivalence even the bravest soldier feels when called to war. He clutches the American flag against his chest with one hand clinging to those things that are familiar. With the other hand, he raises his flag toward the Creator showing the courage that soldiers exhibit when they dare to reach higher than others.<br> <br>Made in America: If you’re hungry, stop by and enjoy Indiana's Oldest Drive-In, since 1929. http://www.triplexxxfamilyrestaurant.com/<br>The food is wonderful and can get busy, especially when college is in session.

In the final goodbye, the parents exhibit purpose and unspeakable selflessness.<br><br>Full of symbolism, the infant is portrayed as vulnerable and yet secure in the hands of his parents. He is swaddled in the American Flag. The hand of his father lifts him up with determination and purpose; using his strength to hold the head of the infant securely for the entire journey. <br><br>The mother’s hand, by contrast, forms a nurturing pose as she reluctantly and slowly lifts her child toward the heavens. The infant is simultaneously emitting a cry of victory and of separation with which the artist hopes to show the ambivalence even the bravest soldier feels when called to war. He clutches the American flag against his chest with one hand clinging to those things that are familiar. With the other hand, he raises his flag toward the Creator showing the courage that soldiers exhibit when they dare to reach higher than others.<br> <br>Made in America: If you’re hungry, stop by and enjoy Indiana's Oldest Drive-In, since 1929. http://www.triplexxxfamilyrestaurant.com/<br>The food is wonderful and can get busy, especially when college is in session.

The grave is marked by placing the fallen soldier's rifle with a fixed bayonet, in the ground at the soldier's right shoulder. The soldier's helmet is placed over the butt end of the rifle stock and positioned as it would have been on the soldier's head. The soldier's dog tags, which were removed from around his neck, are hung on the rim of the helmet to identify the body. The soldier's boots are placed next to the rifle to indicate that they will no longer be needed for his march to eternity. When the first opportunity occurs, the soldier's body will be retrieved from the battlefield and transported to its final resting place.<br><br>Made in America: Visiting this memorial brings you into the city of York, off the main highways and interstates.
