Lee Heavlin with the Veterans Memorial Design
Phase II memorial construction is now done. “It’s awesome, inspiring, and so much more.” If you have not stopped by to visit yet, you are missing an opportunity to reconnect with your emotions, memories, and hope for the future. The memorial is designed as a place to reflect in a park setting. You may even find that your visit to the historic Homestead site will be very special. The silence, gentle breeze, and distant sounds of visitors to the nearby Seymour and Orange County Human Resources Centers will tug at your heart. Take a break, stay awhile.
Maybe you will recollect family memories, stories, and experience both joy and sadness. Everyone sees and embraces their moment differently. Take a journal or note paper with you or just use the recorder on your cell phone to collect your thoughts. Uncle Bob, Aunt Doris, cousins, or the grandfather you never met may visit with you. You’ll want to remember how you felt.
We encourage you to share your feelings with your family…especially those living far away. It might be the right moment to make that telephone call you have been meaning to make. Just say, “Hello.” You’ll know what to say, you have it in your heart.
And, if you are inclined, you just may decide to order a brick paver to memorialize a friend or family member. Orders placed now have a good chance of being placed before Veterans Day. Pavers are ordered twice a year with the goal of placing them in time for Veterans Day or Memorial Day.
Be among the few who will have family members honored with a brick paver in the flagpole area.
