Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE ABOVE COORDINATES. But you have to start there. My son helped me put out this cache inspired by one we did together in Frisco, Texas. Thanks to mctwin (and Prime Reviewer) for the idea.

We've all seen monuments and memorials for wars. But how often do we stop to read them? That's what you have to do here. There are eight photographs below. Each one is from a monument or memorial at the Lawrence County Courthouse. All are outside. There is no need to go inside the courthouse. Match each photo with where it came from, then plug in the coordinates to find the final cache.

N40 HA.HBF
W080 GE.EDC

A = The Congressional Medal of Honor
B = A bell
C = The POW/MIA Memorial
D = The county commissioners when the courthouse was built
E = The Korean Conflict
F = The Iraq War
G = The Vietnam War
H = Beirut, Lebanon

Don't worry about being watched at the final location. The three houses on the left are ours. Please make sure the container is completely hidden. Real nice prize for FTF.
