Special tribute planned for Hall’s war dead

Gainesville’s Rock Creek Veterans and the Rotary Club of Hall County plan a special tribute later this month to Hall County’s war dead.

It will take the form of markers along Green Street and at Rock Creek Veterans Park across from the downtown library.

“This project would not be possible without the help and support of the Rock Creek Vietnam Veterans!” a post on the club’s Facebook page declares. “They have been all stars raising money left and right for this project that is all so near to our hearts. They recently raised $17,000 to go towards markers for fallen brothers and sisters who’ve served. Shortly after the $17,000 – they turned around and raised several more thousand.”

“We are all so passionate about this project. These men and women deserve to be remembered for their sacrifice. If you’re interested or want to get involved in our Salute Our Veterans project, please reach out!”
