Since we are honoring our veterans today, one of our oldest is Sgt. Charles Floyd, a young 22yr. old Army Sgt. who served in the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Sgt. Floyd was the only member of the expedition to die while exploring the Louisiana Purchase. Floyd died Aug. 20, 1804. His death is believed to have been caused by a ruptured appendix.
Sgt. Floyd is buried on a bluff overlooking the Missouri River, here in Sioux City, IA.
Just thought I'd share this little bit of history on a day that we set aside to remember the veterans that have served this country so well. May they all rest in peace.
How about a vet story from your little town ?
