 Chapter # 502 will be hosting a ceremony on December 7 to honor the Survivors of Pearl Harbor. We received a request to have it in Anniston because traveling to Mobile is a stress on some of the survivors. We have built a receptacle to collect un-serviceable American Flags. We placed the receptacle at Calhoun County 911 and we will dispose of the collected flags on Flag Day!





Host the Veterans Day Ceremony on November 11 in Centennial Memorial Park in
Anniston.

 

Ken Rollins designed the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Park which features a memorial to Major Dwayne Williams who was killed in the terrorist attack on the Pentagon and memorials to WW1, WW II , Korean and Vietnam Wars. WW1 features a laser etched "Doughboy", WW II has the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima, Korea will have a map of Korea and a picture of Gen, MacArthur and Vietnam has the "Three Fighting Soldiers" etched into it.
