One such hero is Pvt. Theo W. Black, a Lowell, Indiana, son. Between Gainesville, Texas, and the Oklahoma border is a TXDOT Tourist Center. On Veterans Day, 2006, the 103d Division Assoc. dedicated a monument to the 847 Battle Dead of the 103d Division. In a semi-circle around the 14-foot monument are five 'Battle Death Tablets.' Tablet #1 honors the name and service of "Black, Theo W."
