Greenwood Memorial Park
The photo above is old, from 2013, but it gives you the flavor of the park that is in the center of our ‘square’ in the middle of Greenwood. There are MANY more sidewalks in the park now (kind of like the spokes on a wheel), MANY more commemorative stone plaques lining the sidewalks, and flags beside all. This is a very personal display on all days such as Veterans’ Day, because people are remembering their family members who served. I wanted to get one for our family, honoring my husband’s 4 years of service in the Marine Corps, but he wasn’t having any of it. He doesn’t consider himself a ‘veteran’ since he didn’t die during his service. (Sad that the Marine Corp service didn’t make him smarter, or give him the realization that it’s the fact that he was trained and ready to defend his country, on ships at many hot spots during his time, that is what is being honored. The schools will have assemblies today, and many veterans will attend.
