The
American Legion Banner Post 109, along with our community, is creating a
VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK on Highway 301 in Benson at the Legion building. We
invite any veterans or family members to join our engraved brick fundraising
program by purchasing one or several engraved bricks to memorialize or honor
any individuals and family members, living or deceased, for their service to
our nation from WWI to the present. This includes former, current
veterans and even active servicemen. Please contact any of our committee
members for more information.
The
Veterans Memorial Park will be located on the north side corner of the American
Legion Banner Post 109 located at 605 N Wall St, Benson, NC. We finally have a
site plan approved by the Town of Benson. Please see any committee member or the
one on display. Access will be from the north end of the parking lot via the
sidewalk. The park is an octagon shaped brick park enclosed by a short, brick
wall, brick pavers in the center surrounded by lighted flags with benches on
the sidewalk, a battlefield cross at the entrance and memorial monument in the
center. There will also be a POW and a Gold Star memorial bench. Several of our
items have already been donated, paid for, and ordered.
