Does anyone know anything about this gravemarker called Hero? On north side of road crossing at US 421 at Low Gap. No date on grave. Just the flag and a Navy anchor on the marker.

I have never seen it. Is it at around the picnic table or on northside of 421 at the forest road.

It is on the other side of the road. As you head up the trail there is a barb wire fence on your right. The stone is on the other side. Just past the stone, little further down the hill side is what I call the Tennessee outhouse.

could it be a homemade (ie concrete) memorial and not a grave?
