The dedication of the new Veteran's Monument will take place on Saturday September 11th 2010 at 10:00 a.m.
Again, the Walker County Honor Guard will perform at this event. "This is a really big deal for all area Veterans," says Bill Fowler. "We want to bring honor to all the men and women who have served in the Armed Forces for America."
To help finance this monument, the committee is selling paver stones which will be a permanent part of the memorial.
The pavers (pictured below) will contain the name and other information about local veterans. The deadline for getting your paver in place before the 9/11/10 event is August 1st 2010.
Pavers cost $100 each and contain 3 lines, 21 characters per line (including spaces and special characters). The link below has the form that should be used for each paver.
