Greenwood Arkansas Memorial Park
This photo was taken in 2013, but each year we have the same moving display. The park is in the center of the square; so if you’re going anywhere, you see this gorgeous display. There are stones all around the park honoring veterans from Greenwood, purchased by their families. More are added each year. The stones give the name of the veteran plus dates and service areas, wars. I don’t know how many stones we have in the park now, but I’m proud that so many good people served their country when it needed them.
I wanted to buy one to honor my husband, who is a Marine Corps Veteran, 4 years in the Vietnam era, but he is adamant that he doesn’t deserve to be honored, since he wasn’t in actual combat and did not sacrifice his life. I honor him in my heart, instead.
I thank everyone deployed now, and their families, for keeping us safe.
