Letter to the Editor

Thanks for supporting Fort D

On behalf of the Friends of Fort D, I'd like to express my sincere gratitude to all those who supported Fort D Historic Site on May 25-27 during the Fort D Days Timeline event.

Fifty-six re-enactors representing eras of history from the 18th to 20th centuries, 1,200 visitors from the states of Mississippi, Nebraska, Indiana, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Arkansas, Georgia, Minnesota, Utah, Illinois and Missouri, a commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Cape Girardeau, and the beautiful weather made this fifth celebration of Fort D Days a huge success.

A special thanks to our numerous sponsors for helping to make this event possible.

PATTI HOUSE, Cape Girardeau
