From Diane Diles Hammond,
daughter of Halyard Mission WWII American veteran Staff Sgt. Curtis "Bud" Diles, Jr.:
"We had dad's military marker moved to his monument.
It was originally placed in the ground where it could be walked on, and it was not easily seen.
He would want the world to be able to read the message!"
