It was nothing less than a solemn occasion Saturday as hundreds gathered in front of the Aviation Center at Atlanta Regional Airport’s Falcon Field for the dedication of Falcon Field Veterans Memorial Park.
“Freedom is not free” was the recurring theme of the emotion-filled ceremony. The new plaza, situated in front of the Aviation Center, is designed to be a memorial to all military members, veterans and their families.
Perched above the plaza is an F-16A Fighting Falcon. The plaza also features a monument plaque and an 18-inch wall in the shape of a half-oval complimented with brick pavers.
Those providing remarks included Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle, Rep. Lynn Westmoreland, memorial project manager Ted Mallory, Chik-fil-A’s Dan Cathy, Fayette County Commission Chairman Jack Smith, Peachtree City Mayor Harold Logsdon, state School Superintendent Kathy Cox and others.
