RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.

Vietnam Medal of Honor Keynote Speaker Allen James Lynch at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery
The outdoor public event, which starts at 9 a.m., will happen at the cemetery's main flagpole and will include keynote speaker and Medal of Honor recipient Allen Lynch, a gun salute by the Memorial Squad and taps.
From Wikipedia.
Born October 28, 1945 Received Medal of Honor for his actions during the Vietnam War. Joined Army in 1964 and by December 15, 1967 was with the 1st Battalion (Airmobile), 12th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile).
During a firefight that day near My An, Binh Dinh Province rescued three wounded soldiers and stayed behind to protect them when the rest of his company withdrew and single-handedly defended them until friendly forces arrived.
Afterwards, he was promoted to sergeant and received the Medal of Honor from President Richard Nixon in 1970.
Well deserved.
