Man I do love the Joe Louis appreciation. Always cool when city's recognize their hometown heroes and are aware of their history.

Yeah. Joe Louis, an admirable man. At the school I teach, we take our Metro-Detroit 8th graders to Washington D.C. each spring. After a quarter mile walk into Arlington National Cemetery the kids always get fired up and take snapshots with Joe Louis' headstone. Most all of them didn't know he served in the army in WWII.

I live in DC and have been to the cemetery a few times. Without fail, there's always a crowd around that stone.
