Michael's "German"

I tell people that I'm Irish because of my fair skin, but I probably have a bit more of the "Hun" in me from both sides of the family as my mother is half German, and my father half Austrian.

This is a statue in the Voss Mohr Cemetery at 138th and Harrison and I have been trying to get a good picture of this statue for a while.  He faces East, and I don't get up early enough on my days off.  Today was overcast.

The statue is of a German soldier, most likely 1848-50 by the website I linked to above.  The cemetery is the combination of two family plots, much like the one my family has in Holt County.  I wasn't there this weekend!  And we don't have a big statue.
