All possums know of the bravery and the sacrifice of our brethren in Chipley. We are also grateful to the people there and the Florida legislature for remembering those who gave their lives so others might live. The monument in Chipley satands as mute testimony to the courage of those heroic possums of so many years ago.
While we may not have raised the flag on Suribachi, we did make stew in Chipley and no marine is as proud of the Iwo Jima Statue as we are of the statue to Chipley's Chops. Many thanks Mr. Bob sir, for sharing this heroic tale with my friends at Mudcat.
