Restoring A Veterans' Tribute In Coos Bay

Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=2926392

A piece of history went missing in Coos Bay, and some people want it back.  At one time a billboard in Eastside (east of the Coos River) bore the names of local people who served in World War II. 

People remember it, but no one seems to know what happened to it.  Ed Keim leads the search, and he's enlisted Krystal Hopper from to help find information and even recreate the billboard.  Krystal Hopper joins us to talk about the effort.
