A Town Remembers–-Tallapoosa GA

There may be 1,000 Miles of American highway called Veterans Memorial, but few towns along those miles  have done a better job of remembering.
As Georgia 100 leaves the center of town, a gentle left creates a triangular park. The flags were flying all down the street and a sidelong glance convinced us we had passed something important.  It took a few miles to get turned around and parked beside the Tallapoosa MEDAL OF HONOR PARK
.



The tiny park commemorates the dead from every American conflict and names each fallen soldier from the county.  There is a Vietnam tribute to two (of nine) fallen, one black and one white.  
…and this.


The Twin Towers stand in black Marble beside an artifact from the rubble.
