VolumeXLXXIII Numb-er 5 Nov-Dec 1998 • T- AN OPEN LEITER TO THE MEMBERSHIP Dear Members of the Ninth Infantry Division Association: You may have heard that Peter Radichiofrom the Florida Chapter visited Matt Urban's grave-site at Arlington National Cemetery about a year ago. What he found was a simple G.!. headstone among many large monuments. He went away thinking that Matty deserved better than that and something should be done. He expressed his feeling in the Nov.-Dec. 1997 Octofoil. After reading about his concern, I sent him a note that I'd be more than willing to work with him on this noble deed. Many letters and phone calls followed and the ground work has been established to have Matty honored with a monument that he really deserves. The idea of replacing the grave marker was approved by Mrs. Jennie Urban. Information and Specifications from the Arlington National Cemetery have been received. Your Board of Governors and Association Officers have been gracious in our request to· use the tax exempt number. "The Matt Urban Monument Fund" spe­ cial account has been arranged at The Regions Bank in Inverness, Florida where Peter Radichio does his bank­ ing.
