Bolivar county veteran’s day 11-11-2010

VETERANS WERE NOT FORGOTTEN THURSDAY IN BOLIVAR COUNTY. A NEW VETERANS MEMORIAL WAS UNVEILED THURSDAY MORNING AT THE BOLIVAR COUNTY COURTHOUSE IN CLEVELAND.  THE STRUCTURE IS MADE UP OF BRICKS FEATURING THE NAMES OF THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED THE NATION, BOTH LIVING AND DECEASED. ANYONE IS WELCOME TO PURCHASE A BRICK ON THE WALKWAY IN HONOR OF A SOLDIER. THE PROCEEDS FROM THE BRICK SALES WILL GO TOWARDS FUNDING FOR THE IRAQ-AFGHANISTAN WAR MEMORIAL LOCATED IN THE COUNTY COURTHOUSE. AS OF NOW THERE ARE 74 BRICKS, WITH A GOAL OF ADDING AN ADDITIONAL 34 BRICKS TO THE MEMORIAL.
