Patriotism is part of the culture of Cumming, Georgia. With sincere appreciation, the community came together to honor the veterans which live in this area. Veterans Memorial Blvd is located in the heart of the downtown. The city of Cumming commissioned Sculptor Gregory Johnson to create a Memorial to honor the brave soldiers who lost their lives in wars serving our country. The grounds feature a ladder back chair with boots which hold a dog tag of Forsyth County citizen who served in the Vietnam War. Draped over the top of the chair is a soldier's uniform and helmet. On ceremonial day a US Flag joins these bronzed pieces. The inscription of the Memorial is as follows: "Realizing anew, the full portion of sacrifice paid by the Sons and Daughters of Cumming, Forsyth County, Georgia, in the defense of life and individual rights, we, the citizens in gratitude and honor, dedicate this monument to their memory; and in doing so, pledge to preserve and protect the freedoms for which they so bravely fought. This place will be held in reverence for all those who wish to pause and remember how we came to live in this Sweet land of Liberty. America, America, God Shed His Grace on thee!"
