We are forever indebted to the brave men and women who risked their lives to ensure our liberty and freedoms. We shall always remember those who have and are currently serving in our armed forces. All our service members who returned were changed in some manner, some of whom gave the ultimate sacrifice to protect our country. The Walk of Honor allows all of us to remember everyone and the debt we owe them for their sacrifice.
In 2018, we erected a 50’ flagpole, for the American flag, at the corner of Barton Road and Douglas Blvd, a very busy intersection, so all could see. In addition, we initially erected the five service flags. We dedicated the project on Gold Star Families Day.
Each year we have a ceremony at the community park Walk of Honor to honor and remember all who have died in military service.

Current Plan
The Rotary Club of Granite Bay is in the final stages of planning the actual display walls and benches. The area will have a cement walkway with four-foot-tall display walls along the walkway. We will affix engraved brick to the display walls with the names of service members. The bricks will have the emblem of the member's military service: Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, National Guard and US Public Health Service. The bricks will have the emblem of the members military service.
Future Plan
The final phase of the project will be a First Responder memorial to be placed adjacent to the walls of bricks. The style and structure are still in the planning stage.
