Recently, I contributed a post ( Raleigh, NC Event: War Veteran Interviews, April 12, 2008 - Become a Part of History! ) which mentioned the National Veterans Freedom Park, which is located in Cary, North Carolina. Copies of Veteran interviews will also be housed at the Library of Congress.
Veterans have always been near and dear to my heart because my father, as well as his two brothers served in the United States Army.
My dad and one of his brothers served in the Vietnam War in the mid-1960s. They were merely grown men when they left to go serve their country - but were able to come home and have productive lives.
It's time for their stories - as well as the stories of the thousands of other other brave men and women who've serve our country - to be told and preserved for future generations.
Cary philanthropists Ann and Jim Goodnight donated 12 acres of land for the Park. Located on near the corner of Harrison Avenue and Cary Parkway, the Park will house the the stories of all five uniformed branches of service: Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Coast Guard. The Park's purpose is not to strictly serve as a memorial - but also as a place to celebrate the achievements of our Veterans.
