Bryan Walker's Eagle Project 2009
During the 4th Quarter of school year 2008-2009, 14-year old Bryan Walker, a former student from LEMS and a current freshman at Kaiserslautern American High School completed a memorial recognizing the deaths of two persons who passed while attending LEMS; one a teacher and the other a student. Groundbreaking for this project was on May 8, 2009 and was completed on May 24, 2009. The project was completed by Boy Scout Troop 243 and had assistance from the 735th Civil Engineers based at Einsiedlerhof in Kaiserslautern, Germany. The construction at the school sparked attention from the local media with coverage from American Forces Network and the local newspaper, the Kaiserslautern American, or the KA as it is referred to as. News coverage for the project was aired on the morning radio and TV news report The project, which cost around $1,500, was funded through fund raising at the local Commissary at nearby Ramstein Air Base and donations from the Officers' Spouses Club. It consisted of a Y-shaped memorial area with a rectangular center (it resembles the symbol for the Yen) and a granite bench within the rectangular area. There is a plaque embedded into the paved memorial, which reads "In Memory of Those Who Once Walked This Campus." Along with this, there is new foliage planted around the memorial area and the original plaques as well.

“Do you know I believe that [William Jennings] Bryan will force his nomination on the Democrats again.

But you will see that the year before the election he will organize a mammoth lecture tour and will make Prohibition the leading note of every address.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

—Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
