heartbroken family donated this land in the name of their son killed in Vietnam

Brian Tierney's story from the Hartford Courant:

 

"That extraordinary heroism happened when U.S. Army specialist Tierney, serving as radio telephone operator, was on patrol near Quang Tri City. Tierney and two fellow soldiers entered a village to capture a Viet Cong soldier who was hiding. As the soldier appeared to be surrendering, he threw a grenade at the group. Tierney lunged on the grenade saving the other two soldiers."
