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.

“I think we will live through his term, Archie, and I’ll tell you something, old man, if they don’t stop hammering me, first Bryan for not enforcing the Anti-Trust Law and Wall Street for enforcing it, they may succeed in electing me to another term whether I want it or not.”

“I believe in the total depravity of inanimate things ... the elusiveness of soap, the knottiness of strings, the transitory nature of buttons, the inclination of suspenders to twist and of hooks to forsake their lawful eyes, and cleave only unto the hairs of their hapless owner’s head.”
—Katharine Walker (1840–1916)
“If the Americans, in addition to the eagle and the Stars and Stripes and the more unofficial symbols of bison, moose and Indian, should ever need another emblem, one which is friendly and pleasant, then I think they should choose the grapefruit. Or rather the half grapefruit, for this fruit only comes in halves, I believe. Practically speaking, it is always yellow, always just as fresh and well served. And it always comes at the same, still hopeful hour of the morning.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“In 1869 he started his work for temperance instigated by three drunken men who came to his home with a paper signed by a saloonkeeper and his patrons on which was written “For God’s sake organize a temperance society.””
