Bill Clark walked up and down the aisles at the Middle East Conflicts Wall Memorial museum in Marseilles , gazing at the artifacts, the documents and the photographs of service men, many of whom who'd given their lives for this country, and softly shook his head. 'Such young men,' he said, 'and think of all those Gold Star mothers.' Clark, the AMVETS National Commander, along with current Illinois Commander Steve Holt and past Illinois Commander Robert Stuebinger, viewed the local landmark during a tour of AMVETS posts and memorials all over the state.
