Kilroy was here


A recent trip East afforded the opportunity to visit the World War II, Franklin Roosevelt, and Martin Luther King Memorials in Washington, DC.  An obscure corner of the memorial features an engraved drawing of Kilroy.  "Kilroy was here" was the mark of a naval shipyard inspector and its inclusion is a salute to those behind the war effort.  Drawings of Kilroy sprung up everywhere during the war years.
