NORTH POINT CHRISTIAN ACADEMY VISITS THE VETERANS PARK

About 200 students from North Point Christian Academy gathered at the Carroll County Veterans Memorial Park, around the flag pole in the center of the park. Pastor Rodney Agan led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America followed by a prayer for our country, veterans, troops and students. This was the first stop for the students as they began a day of Community Service. There were numerous teachers, parents and others along with the children and Randy Bradford, who is the Administration Pastor and organizer of the days’ activities. The students were challenged to find Veterans on the Walls of Honor with their last name. Many had not visited the park before and were surprised to find so many impressive features and delighted to know that they could buy a brick and have their name inscribed on it. Commission Chairman Bill Chappell welcomed everyone and Park Committee Officer Violette Denney pointed out the various Walls of Honor and answered questions.

WALL 19 GOES UP

On September 10, 2010, Sammy Robinson and his work crew are shown installing Wall of Honor Number 19 in the Carroll County Veterans Memorial Park. This adds 48 more Veterans and their military records to our Memorial, making the total of 912 Veterans. Look for the Directory on our web site to see all the names on all the plaques : http://carrollcountyveteransmemorialpark.com/Walls_Of_Honor.html
The first number after the name is the Wall Number followed by the Plaque Number. If you want to purchase a plaque to be included on Wall Number 20, please contact Norris Garrett at NAG8361111@bellsouth.net or call him at 770-836-1111.

The next program scheduled at the Park is the Veterans Day Ceremony on November 6th, 2010, at 10 A.M.
