There are quite a few veteran memorials nestled around the Queen City that honor the men and women who fought for our county and freedom. Speaking of freedom, you can find three of these monuments in Freedom Park (perfectly named for a day like today). They are located along the main path on the Northside of the “lake.” This monument honors the 32 World War II veterans from Mecklenburg County who fought on D-Day. There is also a CBI Monument, honoring those who fought in the China-Burma-India Theater in WWII, and a Marine Corps Monument. Thank you to those who have served our country. Have a Happy Veteran’s Day.
