THE CARROLL COUNTY

VETERANS

MEMORIAL PARK
2013

The Carroll County Veterans Memorial Park Committee's mission is to plan, build, equip and maintain a park to honor military veterans of the United States of America from the American Revolution forward who are currently living in Carroll County, who have lived in Carroll County at some time or who have Carroll County connections and who honorably served their country.
We, all volunteers, want to promote patriotism and  ____________________________



THE AMERICAN’S CREED

I believe in the United States of America
 as a government of the people, by the
people, for the people, whose just powers
 are derived from the consent of the
governed, a democracy in a Republic,
a sovereign Nation of many sovereign
States, a perfect Union, one and
inseparable; established upon those
principles of freedom, equality, justice,
and humanity for which American
patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty to my
country to love it; to support its constitution;
to obey its laws; to respect its flag; and to
defend it against all enemies.

OUR MISSION

***
to provide recognition to veterans of all U. S. Military Forces, past, present, and future.  Our goal is to raise funds and accept donations to support the establishment and maintenance of a Veterans Memorial Park as a non-profit organization.

WHERE IS IT? It is located at 1050 Newnan Rd., just off the Hwy. 166 Bypass on Hwy. 16, next to the County Health Department.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO ME? Every patriotic American certainly has a deep feeling and appreciation for their family members, friends and ancestors who have served this Country, preserved our freedoms and passed to us this precious land.

WHY SHOULD I SUPPORT IT?

1.       It will provide you an opportunity to be part of this memorial and derive a sense of purpose in its establishment.
2.       Your efforts will help raise the necessary funds to make this Community symbol of our patriotism and appreciation a reality.
3.       The Park will be a place where you can go to read the names of our veterans and especially note those Carroll County Veterans who have died in defense of our Freedom.
4.       You will realize this is a place for solemn reflection, prayerful dedication to our country, its ideals and freedoms and remember those listed on its walls, especially those on the Killed-in-Action Walls.
5.       You will know this place is for everyone and it will be standing proudly long after we are gone!
6.       You will contemplate which of your children, relatives and maybe even yourself that may be listed on these walls and what heroic deeds have been performed.
7.       Because it is the right thing to do.  After viewing this memorial, we will always remember: FREEDOM IS NOT FREE  

***
MONTHLY MEETINGS
You are invited to attend our monthly meetings on the fourth Monday night (except December), at 6:00 P.M. at the AG-ED Center, 900 Newnan Road, Carrollton, GA 30116.

WHAT DO WE NEED?
Part of our goal has been accomplished: 1,008 names on the 21 Walls Of Honor, 340 on KIA Walls, the Emblem Wall, POW/MIA Wall, Index, Contributor Wall of Honor, sign on Hwy.16, beautiful fountain, pavilion, Women‘s Memorial Wall, a Bell Tower and 793 engraved bricks. The service flags are replaced several times each year.  Six additional lights were installed for lighting.  After considerable expenditures and the contribution of a lot of labor, materials, equipment use, and expertise we find ourselves looking more appropriate today.  To continue our efforts to improve the park we need the following:

Additional Landscaping 
   and Equipment……………………...  $50,000.00
Maintenance Fund …………………… $25,000.00
Total needed now……………………    $75,000.00

HOW CAN I HELP?
From all school students to the largest business in the county, everyone can help:
ONE, contribute to the Park fund drive.  There is no such thing as a small gift, we appreciate them all. Donations are tax deductible. The park is an approved 501 (C) (3) organization.    
TWO, encourage all veterans who have Honorable Service to purchase a plaque for engraving their name and service record on the Wall of Honor.   ($300 donation is required) These make great gifts!
THREE, report the name of any Carroll County Veteran Killed-in-Action for inclusion on the KIA Wall – free!
FOUR, assist in the sale of granite BRICKS as part of the fund drive.  Any one may purchase any number and have a name inscribed in 28 spaces (14 spaces on two lines) on each one. The cost is $50 each. These make great gifts and memorials.

               THANK YOU FOR HONORING
 OUR VETERANS AND TROOPS

P R I O R I T Y
Landscaping Phase I was completed before the 2007 Memorial Day Program.  The Fountain was added before the 2008 Memorial Day Ceremony, in 2009 Jim Crawford dedicated our new Pavilion, in 2010 the Women Memorial Wall was completed, and 2011 we dedicated the Bell Tower. All this was possible because a lot of citizens helped.  In fact the contributions and donations of material and volunteer hours total over a million dollars.  We now have a Million Dollar Park!

We are maintaining Phase I while continuing Phase II landscaping.  The Fountain is the nearest item to the Walls of Honor and it was added first at a cost of almost $45,000.  The Pavilion was completed at a cost of $27,000 and the Women’s Memorial Wall cost about $40,000. The Bell Tower was purchased and installed for $16,453. All of these were constructed with material to match the existing Park. The entire park is handicapped accessible and open 24/7 for visitors.

The Women’s Memorial Wall was designed to recognize all women veterans.  We salute all the brave women who sacrificed and served our country. This wall is polished black granite and features images of women serving in all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, including the Merchant Marines. The wall was dedicated by Norris Garrett during the Memorial Day service on May 29th, 2010. Garrett retired from the U.S. Air Force after 27 years of service and is serving as President of the Park Committee.  Violette Denney dedicated the Bell Tower during the Veteran’s Day ceremony on November 12, 2011.  Denney has been a volunteer on the Park Committee for over 10 years and is continuing to serve as treasurer and finance chairman.
