When Judy Workman bought an antique dresser for Wallace House at an auction, she didn't know the small slice of Cuba history that she would find inside--old photos, a WW II postcard, and other artifacts of a family. One photo and the front and back of a postcard gives us pause on this Veterans Day to think about the young soldiers who put their lives on hold to defend our country. They leave their loved ones at home, sometimes to venture to far lands. How do they feel? What do they think about? Soldier George Smith in 1944 preferred the Cuba, Missouri water tower over the site of the Eiffel Tower.
