Speaking to a group of about 40, Robert traced the history of the church from its original one story building of stone and mud for mortar to the elegant building with its outstanding stain-glass windows of today.  The church has its own museum.  After the meeting, the graves of the 72 veterans buried in the cemetery were marked with flags and candles.</span><br /></blockquote><blockquote
