Plaque of the Quarter
Two families intertwined by the love of the Honorable Marge Ten Eyck Brown and Sgt. Lenny D. Fetterman who served in Vietnam. Coming from military families, both Marge and Lenny felt it was important to honor all branches of military and those who served. Lenny’s dad and Marge’s siblings were all in WWII with a range of different rolls and experiences. Luther Ray Fetterman was in the Army and served in the Pacific Theater. James “Jimmy” Arnold Ten Eyck was also in the Army but tragically, he was killed in action in Europe and did not make it home. Eugene “Gene” Francis Ten Eyck and Robert “Bob” Harold Ten Eyck both served in the Army and were also in Europe. Lastly, John Aloysius Ten Eyck was in the Marine Corps and served stateside. Each man has a unique story, and are connected through their service to their country and the love of their family.
Featured Brick
Toby Keith – Singer, songwriter, philanthropist, military supporter – just to name a few. The National Museum of the Pacific War was honored to create a brick for Toby and for his father, Hubert Covel, Jr., who was an Army PFC. Both of these men served our country in their own ways, one through military service and one through USO Tours, and both through their patriotism. Throughout his career, Toby Keith helped to bolster morale support American troops. We extend our thanks and gratitude to both Toby Keith and Hubert Covel, Jr. for their service.
Our family had placed a plaque on the courtyard wall of a relative. They performed a wonderful dedication service for us.
