Today officially marked the first day of spring for me because I spotted the season's first Fall River youth sporting a Fall River tuxedo, the wifebeater and baggy jeans. This reminded me that the ground is now soft enough to remove a certain monument squatting on the green dedicated to the Fall River war hero who died in a Japanese prison camp during WWII, Corporal David Miller.
An organization in Fall River is planning a memorial service and wreath laying for David Miller on his green next month. Pat Casey needs to get her ass in gear and follow through with the promise she made to correct the egregious error she and Bob Correia committed when they stole David Miller Green and renamed it for a local restaurant owner.
PAT CASEY and BOB CORREIA: WE WILL NOT FORGET!

Ah! I'm sorry for the intellectual property theft WJ! I couldn't remember where the term originated...thank you for the many laughs I have gotten from 'Sprinter.'
who cares about changing this monument. 15 years from now nobody will know who david miller is. changing this monument isnt really that big of a deal
didnt david miller surrender?? since when do we build monuments for guys who surrender??dont be grudge him but a monument ??those are for the guys that go above and beyond
oh my god anon 2:19. I hope I can blame your foolishness on the fact that this was written after the bars closed.
about the same time bigmike the hater posted negativity on the herald news
Wow...
You sound like the Japanese during this time... Which is why they treated the men so poorly.
To be factual. They faught long and hard to keep their position. It was the commanders who surrendered. Their direct commander was given assurances that the men would not be treated poorly. They in fact were treated the worst any American has ever been treated as a POW.
Anon 02:19, you are sick. Very sick. I wish you had a better education that you could see what this monument stands for.

I think Fat Mikey's cold has gotten better, he's out drinking again.
I guess monuments should only be erceted for Hall Of Famers? I'm sorry, but if the negativity is from Mike, that's just downright MEAN!
